Earlier this fall I responded to a request seeking a visit at a local university during final exams, from our therapy dog organization. I put the date on my calendar and all but forgot about it. When the date (Saturday) rolled around, I didn’t want…

Today: Flashcards for grown-ups.
[tweetmeme source=”elizabethev” only_single=false]I wouldn’t have survived 17 years of schooling had it not been for flashcards. Lots and lots of flashcards. While I pride myself on being a good listener, I am most definitely a visual learner. When it came time to pass my finite…

Today: Like the hippies do.
I am not especially pleasant when I am hungry. It’s been a challenge to fill up while on an elimination diet, especially when some of my favorite sources of protein and fiber are off limits. While whey protein isolate is on the okay, if you…

Today: A touchy subject.
[tweetmeme source=”elizabethev” only_single=false]I am a boundaries person. I think I always have been. If I could walk around life with a hula hoop about my body, keeping people out of my personal space bubble without being hauled off to some sort of facility, I would.…

Today: The good, the bad, and the sparkly.
[tweetmeme source=”elizabethev” only_single=false]Let’s start with the bad. And end with the sparkly. After days spent looped out on cold medicine (due to illness, not recreational use… obvi), I am finally feeling back to (mostly) normal. The fact that my monster cold came to town during…

Today: Let it flow.
[tweetmeme source=”elizabethev” only_single=false]I had every intention of waking up early this morning and seizing the day, but ten o’clock rolled around and I was still snug in bed. The shock of single digit temperatures certainly woke me (and my furry sidekick) up in a hurry.…

Today: In a New York minute.
[tweetmeme source=”elizabethev” only_single=false]One of my favorite things about New York is the undeniable character of its many neighborhoods. Each is different, and it seems, inhabited by its own sort of people. I spent the weekend visiting my friend Meg, enjoying a practically perfect two days…
