Miracle Cure for the Overweight & Underorganized?

Miracle Cure for the Overweight & Underorganized?

So, I’m browsing though the web, searching for the elusive answer for curing my overweight and underorganized-ness, deciding Ponce de Leon made more progress in his quest for the Fountain of Youth, when I run across the miraculous solution: Tai Chi. Apparently, the key to this ancient Chinese secret is that by stretching, breathing deeply, and “massaging your internal organs,” …

Waterlogged?

Waterlogged?

It’s hard to get anything done when I spend a half-day engaged in my morning water routine. You know, “Thou shalt drink a minimum of eight 8-oz. glasses of water soest thou canst lose weight.” Problem is, after force-chugging 64 fluid ounces of water, the next three hours are spent rushing to the ladies room. (And It’s dang hard to …

Tip from a Plumber

Tip from a Plumber

You know those little blue thingies that you drop in the toilet tank so you don’t actually have to scrub the toilet and no one can tell whether it’s clean or not because the water is darker than the inside of a black cow? (Only it’s blue.) Even though these are likely the handiest “cleaning” product, quite possibly created for …

Should I Diet or Exercise First?

During the pre-diet euphoric stage, I often browse through the dozens of diet books that line the shelves of Barnes & Noble in hopes of finding “the perfect diet.”
Have you ever read any diet books? They’re pretty much all alike. The first half of each book is spent discussing why one should diet. I can answer that question with two …

Welcome to Overweight & Underorganized!

For years, while my friends gathered to sing Auld Lang Syne, I'd sneak away and scrawl out my New Year's resolutions. Not anymore. Why? Have I given up? Nope. It's just that, because my list hasn't changed since big hair was in vogue, I have it memorized -- Lose Weight, Get Organized.

According to the Food & Drug Administration and the National Association of Professional Organizers, I’m not alone. Over 50 million Americans embark upon some sort of diet every January. Nearly as many will turn to page one of a fresh personal planner. Most will fall back into their old habits before month one of the new year is over, and, like me, they’ll still be overweight and underorganized.

I finally decided if you can beat ’em, write about ’em and created this site to encourage, enlighten, and entertain the masses who wrestle with excess weight and disorganization. My goal is to offer readers a nugget of hope tucked inside a lump of laughter.

This is a new site, so please be patient as it grows and develops into what I hope will be one of your favorite stopping places along the Information Highway. Thanks for dropping by!
