joy dot: reading in bed while drinking my shake

Verena, it's good to hear from you. What is TESOL? And I am envious of your horse. I've always loved horses, although I was never a very good rider. We could keep a horse at our place, but I can't make the financial commitment at this time.

: Hi all,

: I've been away from this website for
: a long time. I don't really know
: why, to be honest. I'm still
: following the program - of course
: not to the letter and of course
: without journalling - but
: actually doing ok. Little glimpses
: of the good times (radiance,
: perhaps?) here and there, a whole
: lot of *whatever* and some
: grumpiness, but relatively little
: depression and despair. All in
: all, I'm doing OK.

: I've missed the connection here,
: though. I think it might be time
: to get started again.
: The last time I checked all of the
: steps was... oh... I dunno, maybe
: 3 years ago? Yikes!

: Well, let me give you a little update
: / introduction (for those who
: don't know me) and then I might
: just look over on the breakfast
: list...

: So. Some sentences that describe me:

: I live in lovely Portland, OR. I was
: born in Germany. I love my cat. I
: moved to the US to marry my
: wonderful husband who is not at
: all sugar sensitive. I play music
: in a punkrock band. I also sing
: and play the piano by myself. I do
: so on stage a lot. I love it. I
: ride horses. I am currently
: half-leasing a beautiful Canadian
: Warmblood named Lex and I can't
: wait to go out and ride him three
: times a week. I love dressage.
: It's my best BE raiser, next to
: music. I've become a really good
: cook. The other day I made an
: amazing warm lentil salad. I lost
: ten pounds over the course of the
: last year without trying. I am
: looking to lose ten more if my
: body would like to. I love working
: out and doing yoga. I am working
: on getting my Masters in Education
: with TESOL focus. I'm slowly
: making friends here in the US.
: Life is good!

: Yup, there's more, but that should
: suffice for today. I am excited to
: see some "old" names on
: the forum and looking forward to
: meet new RRers.

: Welcome back, me!
