  • Facts 11-20

    And for the first time I feel as though I am reborn In my mind Recast as child and mystic sage. I’ve been studying up on the psychology of weight loss, and something very interesting revealed itself to me today. Random Fact #11: I use food for protection. See, at some point in my young…

  • Owe.

    I owe you the second half of my list along with an apology. I got lost somewhere along the way.

  • Getting to know you…

    …getting to know all about you. Getting to like you, getting to know you like me. Getting to notice suddenly I’m bright and cheery because of all the beautiful and new things I’m learning about you day by day. We sang that in my kindergarten graduation performance. That’s right, I have a head like steel…

  • Just a Citrix Analyst lost in a world of Okies.

    Well, it would appear that Just OKaleigh is here to stay! I received my first assignment today (as noted in the photograph) and, of my top 7 choices, it was my number 1 (hence the goofy grin). I’m truly thrilled for the position. It’s going to be challenging but fun, and I’ll get a chance…

  • Strength!

    I’m going back to taking care of this ol’ body of mine. I started a strength training program this afternoon following the job fair at work and boy(!) was it tough! I’m feeling very excited and hopeful. I enjoy strength training and it, in combination with low-intensity cardio, should help me to build those sexy…

  • General Update on Life in OK!

    So the job list is out! Turns out most of the positions are here in Bartlesville (3 Houston, 2 Anchorage), so I’m getting used to the idea that my first position will likely be here. Not complaining as it’s a neat little city with all kinds of activities and non-profits and whatnot. It’s low-key, which…

  • Find out why

    “The two most important days in your life are the day you are born and the day you find out why.” –Mark Twain There are easily a million reasons why I love Mark Twain, but not a single one of them has any part in my appreciation of these words. It’s hard to imagine my…

  • Priorities

    Almost every morning, my alarm goes off, at which point I make an important yet negligible decision: I either reset my alarm for an expertly calculated wake up call sweet spot (rigorously developed by taking the square root of the number of hours I slept subtracted from 8 and multiplied by the number of things…

  • I don’t care what you think, as long as it’s about me.

    Every day, maybe even on a minute-to-minute basis, my opinion as to whether or not I care what people think shifts, on a spectrum, from anywhere on the far right to far left (no political implications meant, so don’t read into that). Sometimes I even contradict myself based on what I want to believe and…

  • Update!

    Oh! Minor update: So I’ve started looking at houses a little to buy in the event I end up here in Bartlesville. So far, I like what I’m seeing! The jist is basically if you’re willing to settle for older homes, you can get unnecessary square footage. This is exciting for me, obviously, because I’m…
