I floss everyday.

I love the alternative tofus popping up! I’m eating pumfu right now 😄

I have celiac - so no gluten for me. Animal products don’t make me feel great, so I mostly don’t eat those. Sometimes soy is bothersome, so if I can, I avoid that too.

Fools gold!

Unknown. My aunt once mailed me a coconut (in its husk). Just gotta get the postage right…

I’ve converted all my investments into girl scout cookies because they (1) are high value And can be traded for goods and services; and (2) can be eaten when no food is available. 😉

I take 2 right now and gave up animal products to minimize the possibility of having to take more.

A true power move.

I help our customers make their business processes less stupid, time consuming and riddled with errors. Practically speaking it means I go to meetings, documentation process changes, build out business process automations, and attempt to convince an unwilling workforce that no, 17 spreadsheets is not the only or best way to run a business (change management).

I went to college and lived in dorms - and had to pay an increasing portion of my expenses until I was paying all of them. The result was working 2 jobs and attending school full time. When I graduated during the .com bust, I sent 300 resumes out and finally landed a job that paid me enough to live without 7 roommates. So, in my case, the trick was having at least 1 job that could pay my expenses.

Day/night

72/65 in the winter 78/70 in the summer. I know we should keep it cooler in the winter, but I just really hate being cold.

Kids got chocolate and candy (currently letting them eat that instead of breakfast). Husband is sleeping in. Later I’m going to take a nap. A pretty wild Sunday. 😉

There are many people in the world. You don’t have to stay attached to this person if his behavior isn’t something you like. And it is ok to wait for a person to come along that treats you the way you would like to be treated (you deserve to be treated well). Best of luck!

It’s both.

Working 40 hours can be tough. I think it is about a finding a setup that can work for you. Here’s how I set it up to work for me (I work more than 40, so some of this is just so I don’t die). Maybe there’s something in there you can try out.

• I work with family so I can double up work/family time
• I work from home so I don’t have to commute and I can pause to see my kids off to/come home from school
• My husband does not work so I see him throughout the day and he takes care of household chores
• I let my kids play in my office when I’m working (even on conference calls)
• I like my job and coworkers
• I take naps on the weekend
• I have given up on hobbies outside of what my kids like
• I get up at 4am and start work most days by 5am to ensure I have evenings with my family

Turkey! I had such a wonderful visit there as a teen in no small part because of the locals we met.
