Here it is the end of the week.  Somehow I really thought my stress level would start lowering by now.  Instead, I'm beginning to feel the pressure.  My assignment has come to a head and the final analysis is due on Monday.  I realize that is three days away and I have time to gather thoughts, data and support to write my final document.  I just hate deadlines.  I never feel as if I have enough time to do the final project sufficiently that reflects my best.  I know, the ramblings of a woman whose husband and stepson are away for a few days, in a "hostile" environment (them, not me) and having

After more torture on my abs, we finally learned the boxer stance.  Remember the feet apart, abs in as if punched, arms up and in front to protect?  Well, take that stance and depending on which hand is dominant step back with the same side foot.  Straight back.  Now move the same side shoulder back slightly without moving your head or your arms.  Okay, got that?  Now, lift that heel from the dominant foot off the ground.  Your weight should be distributed on the balls of your feet but the front heel can be on the ground.  Now shift your weight from front foot to back foot without letting the

Did you realize that there are six blogs written from women that are in the top 25 blogs of all time?  I make this point because the number of women who game seems to be growing.  I'm curious, what is it about the women's blogs that have brought about such a seemingly strong readership?

Any thoughts?

Keep on Go!

One more Thursday night that I won't be playing with my clan.  I was able to briefly log onto the site chat this afternoon just to see if I could.  Unfortunately, I had to log off almost as quickly since I was in the BIG office and not my own.  It's interesting to "see" how important this link to other people is to me.  It was nice to pop on and have people online greet me.  Kind of like a Cheers "Norm" greeting.  Although, I'm not that big and don't sit at a bar all day.  I miss playing Shadowrun with Tactica, Balek, Zikan and the others and of course, Call of Duty 2 with my clan guys.  Texas

Well, I had my first boxing lesson last night.  OMG, my abs are sore.  This old lady is waaayyy out of shape and is feeling it.  We learned to wrap our hands and this will be done for each lesson.  We worked on being centered and balanced with feet apart, abs in as if we had been punched, chin down, elbows in and hands on the cheeks.  In this stance we then moved the arms back and forth as if we were punching our chin, as fast as we could for 2 minutes.  That was enough for me to break a sweat.  As for the ab workout, I couldn't finish all of the exercises and will have to start with a rep of
