About this Blog

This is a blog meant for myself and someday my girls. I want to jot down thoughts and advice that I want to share with them someday. Some of it is straight out advice, some may just be thoughts about the day or something that isn't really advice but perhaps if they have similar stresses someday - they will know that I was there too.

No - I am not dying or planning not to be there for them in the future...but I have the mind of an 80 year old woman already and may need some help remembering just what I want them to know!

2013 New Years Resolutions

So, every year we all make resolutions and every year we tend to forget about them a month (or less) into the year.  But, it is still nice to do and it makes you think about what it is you want to do in your life.  So, here are mine for 2013:


  • Get involved in Women in Engineering groups.  Specifically "Introduce A Girl to Engineering" and then something for myself.  Try to get PE to host something
  • Be focused at work.  I am slowly getting adjusted...it seems a bit too slow to me.  Time to throw myself into it and get going...
  • Keep up my PMP - make sure to get some courses, go to the meetings and keep up my certifications
  • Be present with Pete - work on the relationship.  No girls, nothing is wrong with us but this should be a resolution every year - work on your relationships with all the people you love.  There is always room for improvement
  • Be present with the girls - make time for each of them and have fun as often and much as I can.  Take deep breaths whenever I need them.
  • Take time for me - I need this for my sanity.  Work-out (try the Tri in September), read, sleep
  • Organize - this isn't the priority but by organizing I will feel less need to kill myself to clean.  Make a spot for things and stick to it.  Make it easy for Pete and the girls to follow...
I am consciously not putting in anything about weight loss. Do I need to lose weight - absolutely, do I want that to be a resolution - NO.  I do want to work-out more but this is so I will be healthy for you girls...would it be nice if that came with me not being embarrassed to get into a swim suit this summer - absolutely :)  I am human.
