~~ WELCOME!!! ~~
You have no idea how happy Heather from SITS made me when she emailed me about being a SITS Featured Blogger. Well, maybe you do. ;-) Good news is a precious thing indeed these days.
Like so many of you, my life is one big balancing act. Some days it's really just an act... but I always try to make the best of it, learn something, then come back here and share it with y'all.
For example, check out this helpful tip I posted about what to do if you're also feeling overwhelmed with all of life's "to do's." As we say here in Bahstin Boston, it's wicked good advice. (If I do say so myself... but then again, I have been drinking cham-pag-nee.)
Let's see.... I'm proud mom to five-year old Spiderman (see pic) and ten-year old Miss M. Also stepmom to 20-year old Army Dude who was recently deployed to Afghanistan. I met their dad, Big D, thirteen years ago. We tied the knot in a spur-of-the moment beach wedding. Wicked romantic.
I wanted to kill myself fell in love with Big D all over again at his recent 20th high school reunion. Wicked funny.
So please pour a glass, have a look around, stay awhile. Clickety click my links above (and/or in my archives and/or the label cloud on my sidebar). I'm so grateful you're here! Thanks!!!
I should also mention that I am working on a book about a personal assessment and life balance methodology I created called, "Personal Strategic Management." If you ever need a speaker at a meeting or event, just let me know!
Also, if anyone has been living under a rock and doesn't know about the great SITStahood at The Secret is in the Sauce, be sure to check them out too! Joining SITS has truly been the very best thing I have ever done in terms of building my own blog readership and finding many other great blogs to follow and read.
Thanks again and cheers!
Charlene

Am I really the first one? I can't believe it! Happy SITS day! You deserve it!
Awww I loved your proposal/wedding story! Your reply when your husband asked you to marry him cracked me up - my husband still teases me because instead of bursting into tears and gasping, "Yes!!!" I stared at him for a second and said, "Are you serious?" (In my defense, he'd been teasing me with proposals for weeks - like he'd go down on one knee and say, "Would you...hand me that can of coke?" and stuff like that, so when it actually happened I wasn't sure it was real!)
Happy SITS Day!
Happy SITS day! :)

I had twins 8 months ago and have been trying to get in to an exercise mode. Your P90X story has inspired me! I don't think I could do that program because it is brutal, but I want to start something. Congrats on completing that program. What an accomplishment!
I hope you will visit my blog: www.twin-talk.com
Great blog!!! Happy SITS day!
Happy SITS Day. And thank goodness your life does not make my butt look big!

hi there... im so inspired by your p90x results! way to go!! definitely will be checking in for "balance tips"!
Happy SITS Day!!! Can't wait to read about the high school reunion!
Happy SITS day! I'm so happy they featured you because I know I'll get a lot out of exploring here - in fact I already have!
I love the post titled "My Life Does Not Make Your Butt Look Big" - totally something I was discussing with my husband last night, re: my mom's unenthused reaction to his success with quitting smoking, while she's a pack-a-day-or-more smoker. Everyone else was raving over him, except her. I told him, it's not that she's not happy for you. She's judging herself because she knows she should stop but hasn't and probably really doesn't want to. I should pass your post on to him!
Happy SITS day! I am a few miles south of you, down on the Cape. Have a great day!
I am having a great time with your blog! Happy SITS day!!
Happy SITS day! I look forward to browsing your blog.

Happy SITS Day! I wonder how people survive life without humor? Or if life is really even worth surviving without being able to laugh?
Certainly nothing you will ever have to worry about!

I love that you don't let your Emerson pedigree keep you from throwing a few good wickeds in there! (I heard myself say it yesterday and thought, what a throwback!)
Happy SITS DAY! Congrats! I'm going to check out your P90X posts! I'm a beachbody girl, too! I did my first round of P90 in 2004 and had awesome results. I started grad school 2 years ago, along with having a full-time job and kids, so my workouts are few and far between! I'm working on another round of P90 now along with the Master's Series. I also use Turbo Jam. Beachbody for life!!
Happy SITS day! Lookin' forward to reading your blog.
