I Take Aim and Shoot: Cinnamon Rolls, Cheesecakes & Cup Cakes

http://itakeaimandshoot.blogspot.com/2013/04/cinnamon-rolls-cheesecakes-cup-cakes.html

I Take Aim and Shoot. The camera is an instrument that teaches people how to see without a camera - Dorothea Lange. Wednesday, April 3, 2013. Cinnamon Rolls, Cheesecakes and Cup Cakes. Typically you can tell what kind of mood I'm in based on how many baked goods are in the house. When I'm sad or stressed, there are generally 0 tasty treats available. When I'm happy, it's sickening how many things you need to polish off before they go stale. Is your mouth watering yet? Many of my traditions and memories i...

Off The Mark: A little injury, a lot of trauma...

http://www.alioffthemark.com/2015/04/a-little-injury-lot-of-trauma.html

Monday, April 20, 2015. A little injury, a lot of trauma. Hold on to your butts, because this is going to get long and it's not a happy story, but since I can't get the hospital to listen to my story, at least I can tell it here. About a month ago I was injured playing in a hockey game, I took a hard shot puck to the side of my right hand, where the glove padding ends. That I had an anxiety reaction, but luckily this was immediately. Once I did get back to the locker room, I took some meds and I called m...

Off The Mark: Inspired to return...

http://www.alioffthemark.com/2015/04/inspired-to-return.html

Thursday, April 16, 2015. I've neglected this blog for a long time now. I started (and never completed or posted) several posts but it wasn't really in my heart. But I've been inspired and I'd like to get back into writing, and right now this feels like a good place to start. I can't promise a post a week or even that I will writing anything I find worth publishing ever again, but here I go anyhow. It concerns me that young people (I work with college students, so 17-22-ish) still feel like they have to ...

Off The Mark: Stop raising boys and girls, just raise kids!

http://www.alioffthemark.com/2013/05/stop-raising-boys-and-girls-just-raise.html

Thursday, May 30, 2013. Stop raising boys and girls, just raise kids! Do you know what drives me crazy? I mean really, really crazy? I wish we, as a society, could stop raising boys and girls and just raise kids. Where are the girls? Why didn't parents of girls sign them up for T-ball? Don't tell me it's a lack of interest on the girls' part, these are preschoolers. They don't know yet if they like T-ball! Most of the kids who were there didn't even know to run to first base after hitting the ball! When ...

Needles hopscotching through haystacks of truth. Women’s Equality Achieved! May 25, 2014. It’s raised its ugly head again. The one thing, aside from winter, that I really detest about living in Northwestern Wisconsin. I’m a capable woman. I was raised to be, by a dad who had no fear of teaching me how to use power tools and a mom who instilled in me, from a very early age, her firm belief that a woman could do absolutely anything she wanted to do. Sexism was not on my radar. Ever. In recent years, I have...

Needles hopscotching through haystacks of truth. Z is for Zarecze. April 30, 2014. Ah, the last day. We’ve made it! I may have been stuck on Y, but I’ve known from the very beginning what I wanted to do for Z. Because Zarecze is a mystery, and I’m hoping someone will be able to offer some clues. Here’s what I know:. My grandfather, Josef Urynowicz, traveled to America on the. Which sailed from Hamburg, Germany and docked at New York Harbor on November 15, 1907. However, Google is happy to provide me with...

Off The Mark: What is thinspo and why is it so dangerous

http://www.alioffthemark.com/2013/05/what-is-thinspo-and-why-is-it-so.html

Tuesday, May 28, 2013. What is thinspo and why is it so dangerous. In my older post, Eat Right and Exercise. whatever that means. Well, that's not really what thinspo. Is all about. Thinspo is the tool of pro-anorexics (aka pro-ana) to not only encourage their own self-destructive behavior, but with the nature of the internet and social networks it also helps to spread the destructive idea that thinner is always. How do I know all of this? Because I've been there. I've spent time (often when I should...
