A story of compulsive overexercise.

by

Once upon a time there was a Misfit Queen and her lovely Tornado of a Princess. Each morning, as they'd ride their carriage through town toward the local school house, they'd spy a young woman walking on the side of the road.  Head tucked, shoulders slumped, arms swinging walking. The Queen noticed the young lady immediately and took note of how frequently and vigorously she walked.  One ... Continue Reading

Four on a Friday (VEGAS edition)

by

  Because really what says VEGAS more than TUTUS?   By the time you read this Ill be happily on a plane, snuggled with my Kindle, and heading toward Las Vegas. I could do an entire series of posts about how much I adore flying. The abdication of control. The navigation resting on someone elses shoulders. The slice of (relative) silence in an otherwise harried world.  The fact ... Continue Reading

Ahhh Im back to MUSTurbating

by

(with apologies to the amazing Albert Ellis) My MUSTS these days? I must take new group exercise classes so I can yammer about my likes and dislikes here on the blog. I must get to the Tornado's school and volunteer once a week. I must try a new vegetable each week so that Im role modeling adventurous eating for the child hell AND Ren Man but thats a whole 'nother blog ... Continue Reading

Unfurling the freak flag.

by

(our freak flags pointing, errr, flying) We like Shrek the movie(s). We LOVE Shrek the Musical. It's cute. It's filled with catchy tunes.  It's a show all three of us adored which isnt always the case. The Tornado & I share the same favorite song. And, the first time we saw the musical, she leaped to her feet & sang & danced & shrieked with wild abandon. And it freaked me out ... Continue Reading

Brita Challenge (AKA Go Team MizFit!!)

by

 Click me! Click me! Ahhhh People. There has been a severe drought in Texas this summer and Im not talking about the weather. Im talking about my mouth. My water-hole hath become more of a word-which-rhymes-with-BAPPLE hole. Intellectually I knew I was doing my body a tremendous disservice, but tired, crazed, misfit on the go'ly I almost didnt care. Almost. Because as I ... Continue Reading

I cried during yoga.

by

Ahhh people. Ive rambled ad nauseum about my struggles to find my new kindergarten-groove. Far less than feeling sad & alone & untethered without my sidekick Ive found the newly shortened days (bus pick up at 8a & hardstop to the work day at 330p) have caused more frazzle than floundering. As a result Ive focused less on exploring new passions than I planned/otherwise might ... Continue Reading

Ahhh the guilt.

by

  I have to confess, up till now, I've bumbled through life pretty much guilt-free. Guilt (& her bitchy BFF shame) simply didn't have much of a place in my life. I experience healthy guilt (my conscience telling me that I acted in a manner which didnt mesh with my self-definition/personal mission statement) and in those instances I immediately take steps to change the situation ...
