Weight Loss & Accountability…just no.

In Stories & Reflections  •  by Amanda Herring, Writer, March 20, 2022  •   Leave a Comment
So I’ve been thinking about telling y’all that I’m going to start trying to lose weight. Telling you would mean accountability, though, and accountability means…um… having to be accountable…for actually doing it. *sigh* Why is weight loss hard? It’s not hard to eat birthday cake....

Stupid Stuff I Do

In Stories & Reflections  •  by Amanda Herring, Writer, October 20, 2021  •   Leave a Comment
I’m a real piece of work sometimes… I log into Zoom calls and can’t get in, then wonder what’s wrong. The meeting is tomorrow. I make a point to buy heavy cream for my coffee at the grocery store, because I’m out at work and...

In Stories & Reflections  •  by Amanda Herring, Writer, October 6, 2021  •   1 Comment
