And more of the ocean blue at Eagle Beach in Aruba. "Dive in!" was always a call I heard when staring at this lovely water. Posted by Picasa

My circadian rhythm is completely off......

I don't know how busy travelers do it. I know it's a bit crazy but it turned out that I had an almost back to back trip. I had made plans to go to Washington, DC last Thursday through Monday even before my decision to go to Korea. So, I returned on the 11th and then was in the air again on the 17th. I thought it would be alright and for the most part I was. But sleep still eludes me at the right time and finds me at the wrong time. I guess there really isn't a "wrong time" to sleep when I work from home, but it doesn't help when I find myself wide awake at 2 a.m. and 7 a.m. but sleepy at noon and 5 p.m. Melatonin? Well, it helps to a certain degree....once ingested. But I have not been taking it these past few days....Perhaps I should try it again. But anyway, my trip to DC was so much fun! I met up with old friends and enjoyed the entire weekend. It reminded me that sometimes old friends are those comfortable friends that have known you forever - the good an...

Addicted

I am addicted to two things: jogging and Pinterest. Let's begin with Pinterest. Have you heard of Pinterest? I'm sure you have. I'm sure you've seen those red "P" logos when you're surfing the internet. Well, I started it with some hesitation when it debuted, uncertain that it would really be something I would want to spend time on.

In fact, I spend more time on Pinterest than I do on Facebook. When I get ready for bed, it means I'll be spending half an hour on Pinterest before I actually close my eyes (according to a pin it says that this is one of the bad habits that prevent me from getting a good night's rest...). My husband laughs at my addiction to Pinterest, but hey, he benefits from my addiction. How so you ask? Well, there are quite a few things I have actually tried from Pintere...

Fight the Bias and Think Through Your Lens

OK, today is "crucial Tuesday" as the news is calling it - or maybe it's just CNN that's calling it that. While I know that this is tied to an important event in the U.S., I always approach it with some cynicism, now even more so having read about the history of social welfare policy and the "welfare state" called the United States. And fortunately maybe, my TV is still busted and I haven't had time to call about it being repaired (I'm sure I could be doing that right now but I'd prefer to blog, heh heh) so I have not been too inundated by election hype. But all the cynicism aside, I do know that it is an extremely important current event - and even more so as I am pondering the vote, or my vote, shall I say. As I ponder the candidates and their issues, read news articles, and of course watch one of my daily podcasts - Anderson Cooper 360, I have to admit that I'm just not enchanted or sucked in by all this debate surrounding the candidates. ...
