http://www.jenniferplesko.com The Website and Blog of Jennifer Plesko Sun, 14 Mar 2010 03:20:23 +0000 http://backend.userland.com/rss092 en So sorry I've dropped off the face of the earth. I haven't had internet for the last few weeks. You see, I moved into a new place on March 1st and things haven't really slowed down ever since. The move itself was tiring enough. It involved moving half my stuff ... http://www.jenniferplesko.com/2010/03/13/movin-on-up/ The world makes divorce look easy. Even glamorous. Some people make cakes and throw parties to celebrate it. Some people act as if divorce and freedom are one in the same. I've never had those sorts of notions about it, but I did think I had already grieved. After all, ... http://www.jenniferplesko.com/2010/02/20/outcast/ Tonight, I went to the DivorceCare program at my church. This is the second week, and I've enjoyed it so far (as much as you can enjoy a recovery program). It is comforting to know that there are other people out there feeling as pitiful as I am. In fact, ... http://www.jenniferplesko.com/2010/02/09/rehab/ I'd like to say things have turned around, but it was a lousy Monday. But at least I had a moment where I could laugh at it. A good friend of mine lost her father this weekend (that's not the funny part). Since I can't be there for the funeral, I ... http://www.jenniferplesko.com/2010/02/02/it-continues/ You ever have one of those weeks? I just did. I'd been waiting patiently for over a month to get my car back as I navigated the Metroplex in a giant bathtub. Originally, they said it would be the 22nd. Last Tuesday, they said it would be Monday. Monday, they ... http://www.jenniferplesko.com/2010/01/31/long-week/ As I've mentioned before, I've struggled with body image and eating disorders since middle school. I've learned what to do to help me stay healthy, but I'm still not what you'd call "cured." I don't think you're ever cured; the constant battle really never goes away. And when I'm going ... http://www.jenniferplesko.com/2010/01/20/the-battle/ Remember how I mentioned that December had been a tough month? Well, one of the things that made it suck was getting into a car accident the night before Christmas Eve. I had left Dallas to head to my parents' house, got on the road at 3:30, made good time ... http://www.jenniferplesko.com/2010/01/12/wrecked/ A few days ago, we didn't just start a new year - we started a new decade. That really snuck up on me because the last decade started off with so much anticipation and fanfare and even fear. This one started off with a whimper. So much has happened in the ... http://www.jenniferplesko.com/2010/01/04/decade/ Hello, readers…if any of you are still out there. I’m sorry I’ve been away for awhile. December has been a hectic month. And not just hectic in the ways December often is, but hectic in the life-steps-on-your-neck-and-takes-your-lunch-money type of way as well. Anyway, I have been meaning to write about several ... http://www.jenniferplesko.com/2009/12/18/racy/ Last weekend, I went to see the movie The Blind Side, I watched My Sister's Keeper, and I read the book Push by Sapphire. Sounds like a good time, right? Also, as I've mentioned before, I read the news for a living. That includes reading all of the stories about ... http://www.jenniferplesko.com/2009/11/24/empathy/
