This thing called life...: May 2010
http://flossieferrell.blogspot.com/2010_05_01_archive.html
Wednesday, May 26, 2010. Today is one of those days when I really love my job, because two days a week, I get to eat lunch at home. I know that sounds silly, but it makes a big difference in my work/rest of my life balance. Of course, the flip side of that coin is that I work a good number of Saturdays and evenings (so, let's just say it all balances out). What does this have to do with "Tuna Pasta Salad? About 1/3-1/2 pound pasta - your favorite shape. I had a box of piccolo (small) fusilli. A few years...

This thing called life...: August 2010
http://flossieferrell.blogspot.com/2010_08_01_archive.html
Friday, August 20, 2010. In general, I subscribe to the self-policing practice of not putting any potentially controversial opinions anywhere online. As we all know, this stuff will "live forever," and as a marketing professional, I'm probably more sensitive than average about how anything I put out may reflect on my professional life. Sunday, August 15, 2010. We've planted a garden the past few summers. Ahem - I should clarify - Brian plants a garden. I just pick the veggies once they're ready! I got th...

This thing called life...: And so it goes every night...
http://flossieferrell.blogspot.com/2011/03/and-so-it-goes-every-night.html
Tuesday, March 8, 2011. And so it goes every night. I shouldn't even be writing this. I should be in bed sleeping. Why? Because MK has been asleep for the past hour. It's now 10:13 pm; she's been asleep since about 9 pm. If she follows the pattern she seems to have established, she'll sleep until sometime between 11:30 and 12, and then she'll get up, eat, hang out and go back down. On a good night, she's back down by 1 or 1:30; last night it was 3. What's my husband doing? This thing called life. Tales F...

This thing called life...: April 2010
http://flossieferrell.blogspot.com/2010_04_01_archive.html
Tuesday, April 6, 2010. Music never fails to conjur up memories. I'm sitting here - with the intention of doing some work after Anna went to bed - and I'm listing to some music. One of the songs ( True Companion,. If you must know the title) brought back a memory as clear as day. Anyway, she said two things that will always stay with me (as I was complaining and talking out my feelings, as I tend to do, etc.):. 1) "Christine, you should read this book called Loving What Is.

This thing called life...: August 2009
http://flossieferrell.blogspot.com/2009_08_01_archive.html
Friday, August 21, 2009. Are you thinking, "What the hell is her point? 160;It's this: I'm getting soft! So, the other day, I take the test again. Sure, it was an online version, but still valid. The score comes up on the screen: ENFJ, or "The Giver." What? 160;My T turned into an F. Do you know what that means? 160;It means I'm supposedly, "people-focused," and that I'm more of an influencer than a leader. My "thinking" has transformed into "feeling.". Oh, my. What will I do with this?

This thing called life...: October 2010
http://flossieferrell.blogspot.com/2010_10_01_archive.html
Tuesday, October 26, 2010. I'm dog-tired, so I hope this post is coherent! I head home tomorrow - after one more meeting in the morning - and I'm ready! But, the meetings have gone very well, and I've picked up some great information from my colleagues at other business schools. This afternoon, one of my colleagues and I did have an opportunity to get out in Vancouver. We walked about a mile to a ferry dock and took a short ferry to Granville Island. In addition to the market, it was nice to just walk ar...

This thing called life...: My Cuddlebug
http://flossieferrell.blogspot.com/2011/02/my-cuddlebug.html
Wednesday, February 23, 2011. After several friends emailed me with encouraging words (after reading my previous two blog entries), I realized it was time for something positive! I certainly didn't intend for my other entries to come across as negative, but rather as my reality! The upside of this? So, while my bent is to be a "practical" parent - emphasizing things like sleep training, schedules and discipline (I'm more fun than I make it sound! Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

This thing called life...: Choices and Gratitude. And a clear head?
http://flossieferrell.blogspot.com/2011/08/choices-and-gratitude-and-clear-head.html
Wednesday, August 10, 2011. Choices and Gratitude. And a clear head? It's been months since I blogged. Busy months. I'll leave it at that:). I've always approached this blog with what's top of mind for me. The past couple of days:. I'll be vague, as the details don't matter. Just like the nature v. nuture debate, I think most people would philosophically suggest that one's life path is either a series of choices or the result of fate.or somewhere along the gray line in between. And, a clear head? I'm mud...

This thing called life...: In the now.
http://flossieferrell.blogspot.com/2011/03/in-now.html
Friday, March 4, 2011. Right here, right now, it's all good. As I try to capture this journey of being the parent of a newborn (and a preschooler), I know that I need to capture each moment for what it is. And this one - right now - is good. So, while MK is snoozing for a few minutes (did I mention she's in the bouncy seat in the bathroom with the fan turned on? A few years ago, I read The Power of Now. And while I'm pretty sure this wasn't quite what the author was referring to, I am taking in how grate...

This thing called life...: January 2010
http://flossieferrell.blogspot.com/2010_01_01_archive.html
Friday, January 29, 2010. I'm going to type exactly as I copied from Jane, and then add my commentary in parentheses:. 2 lbs ground beef (I rarely use beef anymore, because I don't eat much beef. When I did, though, I liked ground sirloin the best. Tonight, I used ground turkey breast. Jane used to sometimes use soy crumbles, but beef was her favorite). 1 close garlic, crushed (I tend to use more). 1 T olive oil (I use a good bit more olive oil if I use turkey breast.say 3-4 T total). The last time I blo...
