The Stephford Diaries

Oh, I saw that double-take. Yes, it’s a “Wednesday with Tricia” being posted early enough to actually be viewed on Wednesday. Just shush already. We all know I’m a slacker. However, with my mom and my sister here, it’s much easier to find time to edit and upload. So what I’m saying here is if [...]

Okay. So, here’s the gig. I’m starting to scare myself with something that started out as a joke. (Sort of.) I told a friend of mine that a health scare she was having was going to turn out to be nothing. And I said, a little facetiously, “I said so, so it must be true.” [...]

Pssst. C’mere. Yeah, you. I have a secret, but I want it just between us, okay? Don’t tell Bill — he’ll want to fix it, and there’s no fixing this.
Tonight, we were at Lenna’s homecoming game (yeah, yeah, I’ll put up pictures later), and I was sitting with Tricia. This thought crossed my mind, “If [...]

This is a recipe I recently shared with Steph.  It was at that point I realized that I hadn’t cooked this recipe yet for my blog.  Maybe its because its so frighteningly simple.  Maybe its because its so amazingly quick to prepare.  But then I thought…thats exactly why I should make it for my blog.  [...]

I saw this over at OMSH’s site. I love it. More importantly, I needed to see this as a reminder to talk with my girls about real beauty.

It’s not just a DMB song anymore, kids. Lately, it’s been a question I’ve been asking myself quite a bit. Oh, I know, I know — it’s a question I should’ve been asking myself at 24, not 34. But as with many other things, I’ve slacked a little
lot on this, too. In my own defense, [...]

And yet again, I’m down to the wire on actually getting it done on Wednesday, but hey, at least it’s not on Thursday again; right? Also, today felt more like a Tuesday. I think it’s the lack of WordPress Wednesday today. Or maybe it’s just I’m a slacker who forgets to upload and edit until [...]

Well, my first good sushi experience.  We went to Stix and it was delicious.  Mom, I swear it wasn’t fishy or gross at all.  It was so good.  Not only that but I already want to go back.  I’ve always heard about those people who were addicted to sushi and I thought…that can’t be possible.  [...]

First. I really like OMSH. I think she’s courageous, amazing, beautiful, etc. etc. etc. Also, she’s real. Her blog isn’t an endless series of blissful days spent basking in the perfection of her life. Don’t misunderstand me here. I’ve yet to read a disparaging word from her about her husband or kids, but I’m [...]

Me and about a kazillion other people. But I’m most interested in my journey. I s’pose it’s also that my journey’s outcome is a wee bit more personal to me. I’m sort of invested here. /dry
One thing I want to discuss a little is hypothyroidism and its effect on weight loss. Oh don’t get me [...]
