Yay! I'm no longer obese... just overweight.
Posted: 2009-08-02
In May of 200 I was 183 lbs. Today I'm a 163 lbs. I've lost 20 lbs. in 2 1/2 months, and I'm going to lose 20 more. My BMI is now in the overweight range, so no more "I'm obese" shame for me. It won't be long before I'm just at a plain ol' healthy weight. :-)

Escaping Depression: Updated
Posted: 2009-07-10
I've been talking to several people who are battling depression about my experiences in overcoming it. My conversations with them helped me realize that I needed to update my Escaping Depression article to help answer some of their most common questions, which I'm sure other people have as well.
If you know somebody who is dealing with depression, or are dealing with it yourself, give it a look and let me know what you think.

Which Free School Printables Do You Want? Submit Your Suggestions
Posted: 2009-07-09
It's time for me to put together the school-related printables for 2009-2010.
I've had many requests by teachers, students, and parents for new education related printables. The most popular request so far has been for new student schedules and homework planners, so I'll be working on those first. If you'd like to suggest changes to a current design or suggest a completely new design, please let me know. I hope to have all the new designs done by August.
