First of all, I must apologize to all of you who have sighed lovingly while gushing about Ghiradelli chocolate to me. Inwardly, I would roll my eyes when listening (sorry if I also impolitely rolled my eyes on the outside..). I thought Ghiradelli was interesting and all, and hey – what’s not to love about [...]
So I started taking a drug for my fibromyalgia. Yes, that drug, the one that’s in those commercials these days. At my rheumatologist’s recommendation, I worked up the dose from 50 mg to 125 mg over a period of 6 weeks. I couldn’t really tell if it was working for the pain (it waxes and [...]

I was a reluctant baseball fan. I did not grow up with a love of the game. In fact, I thought it was boring and pointless until the ripe old age of 25. I’m not even sure why I fell in love with the game. [...]
Sitting here, looking at websites, wasting time really. Now, I don’t think that looking at websites is always wasting time – I have many that I check frequently and dearly love – but if I’m repeatedly clicking “refresh” at Bloglines, I know I’m avoiding doing something else.
