Welp, my work filter thinks THAT link is pornography.

THIS IS MY SECRET DESIRE, TOO. Every time I see Arya, I think "maybe this is when Nymeria comes back." Or when Sansa returned to Winterfell: "Maybe Nymeria will trot up and comfort & reassure Sansa that Arya is okay & on her way home"

Stratejoy with Molly Mahar | Coaching, Courses & Community for Gen Y Women : A Weighty Issue

Tue, 9 Oct 2012 04:51:21 +0000

Oh man, I've been putting off getting my cholesterol and blood sugar tested because I'm sort of scared! I was raised eating junk food, and while my family doesn't have a history of cholesterol or diabetes issues, there's always a first, and I don't want it to be me! Though it might be the kick in the pants I need.

Also, it is so weird for me to say this, but I want to have a kid. This is 100% me. My husband and I are really, seriously talking about trying to get pregnant Jan-Feb 2013, which is...not long from now, really. And I want to spend the next year and half-ish getting my body ready for it. I want to give my body and my baby the best chance for a healthy, easy, uncomplicated pregnancy I can, and part of that is changing the way I eat. A huge part. I want to get used to eating healthy foods NOW, cutting out excess sugar, salts and processed foods as much as I can, so I don't start my pregnancy with cravings and habits for junk food. I don't want to pass my potato chip and ice cream obsessions off to my kids (though I might experiment with making my own chips), and I want my family to easily be able to say no to crappy, gross food. BUT. I find it hard to remind myself of my future baby when I want to skip gym or hit the fast food. I'm really trying to be more aware of the junk I put in my body and to eliminate it as much as possible, but it is HARD. Because damn if I don't want to give Pizza Hut a call EVERY. DAY. And I work at Starbucks, so saying no to those delicious pastries and ridiculous sugary drinks is HARD. One day at time, that's all we can do.

Stratejoy with Molly Mahar | Coaching, Courses & Community for Gen Y Women : Starting Over (and over and over)

Fri, 29 Jul 2011 06:47:15 +0000

Oh God, Molly, this is awesome! I've been feeling a need to incorporate a lot of this JUST DO IT attitude in my own life with my writing and making friends and being generally awesome. And you know, it's such a great feeling to JUST *DO IT*, already, you know? I want to write every day? I'm just effing DOING IT. It's awesome.

Stratejoy with Molly Mahar | Coaching, Courses & Community for Gen Y Women : Hello Love, Goodbye QLC?

Thu, 17 Mar 2011 17:09:03 +0000

Yes! Being in a relationship is awesome, but it doesn't change the issues I had before being in one, and it's been a struggle to learn how to communicate openly, to find the words to calmly explain when something's bothering me or to be open about my own insecurities in school and work and finances. My man is awesome support, and I'm so glad to have him there for me, but he's not the final solution.

Stratejoy with Molly Mahar | Coaching, Courses & Community for Gen Y Women : I Admit, Money Makes Me Crazy

Wed, 16 Mar 2011 19:39:47 +0000

I totally feel you! Money stresses me out almost every time I think about it or pay bills or check my bank account. I made some poor credit card decisions while I was an undergrad, and I'm paying for that now, and when I got close to paying that debt off, Life happened, and the debt went right back up. Plus I've got school loans to pay now too, and it's a little overwhelming, especially because my financial future isn't looking any better, at least for the next year and a half while I work on my Masters. It's a struggle to be open about my finances because I'm kind of just embarrassed about them; why can't I just have all my shit together already, you know?

The Grateful Sparrow : That first step's a doozy.

Tue, 8 Mar 2011 17:23:49 +0000

I'm so excited for you! I'm really looking forward to how things go for you and how you handle what comes next. I'm about to be in the same position, and it is SO SCARY. But I am really looking forward to what comes next!

Stratejoy with Molly Mahar | Coaching, Courses & Community for Gen Y Women : Him, Me, and the Internet

Thu, 3 Mar 2011 17:26:39 +0000

I'm so excited to read about your blossoming relationship! My Feller reads most of what I put out on the internet. I love sharing that with him and knowing that's he's cool with it, and I find it helps keep me accountable about not putting out passive-aggressive nastiness out there. It also opens me up to extra vulnerability with him because, especially when we first started dating, I'll blog more openly about emotional stuff than I'm willing/able to verbalize with him.

Oh, God, I totally feel you on the "having a job in this recession" thing. I'm FINALLY in a place where I feel like I can let go of that safety net and start doing something else that I enjoy more.

I use "heart of hearts" with some frequency, actually. So you know, that's a legit phrase.

You get the hang of getting it out. It totally gets easier with practice. I know the first time I tried pulling it out, everything was so slippery and it was so far back that I couldn't get a grip on it. When that happens, you're probably fine to just leave that sucker up there where it is and wait for it to fill up a little more and let gravity bring down a little closer to your fingers.

I always empty it before I leave the house so I don't have to empty it at work or in public. I actually can go a day or two before I need to empty it, so I just make sure to time it so that I won't need to worry about it anytime I'm not at home.

I LOVE my Diva Cup! I forgot to pack it when I went to my parents' for Christmas and FRANTICALLY ran all around town looking for one because the idea of using tampons after almost 4 years of not GROSSES ME OUT.

Mark Watches : Hello watchers! Let's get down to details.

I AM SO EXCITED FOR YOU TO WATCH THIS. I have sat around with friends discussing for hours which episodes of Firefly are our favorite and why, and why it didn't do better, and how much we wish we could get MORE. This will be exciting.

Oh cool! I've wanted to check Girl Talk out since I took a library sciences class in which we talked a lot about digital copyright, so I'm glad for a free download. On a related note, Hulu has a great documentary called RiP! A Remix Manifesto, about the remixing culture and copyright. It's FASCINATING.

I love this! It is definitely easy to get into the negative mindset, so it's always nice to take a few moments to remember all the good things, like getting to wake up next to my hunky boyfriend warm and comfy and snuggly.

I think I might love 750 Words, as well. I always have so many thoughts that I think it'll do me some good to get them down and out there in the world, and help me process creatively for my blog and anything else I want to do. Thanks for sharing!

Toy With Me : Let Me Tell You About My Sex Dreams

Wed, 20 Oct 2010 16:32:59 +0000

I always get cockblocked in my sex dreams! I think I have had maybe ONE sex dream that resulted in actually sex rather than blueballs, which is FRUSTRATING.
