Author Profile: Michelle Biography »
I spent the first 25 years of my life in various parts of Michigan and recently had an epic road trip adventure across 9 states to take up residence in Seattle. I dig it here so far.
I enjoy diet cherry Dr. Pepper, PBR and improv comedy. I played soccer for my university for 4 years then played a semester of rugby since I had more school once my soccer eligibility was up. I once ran a marathon in Alaska. I've been a sandwich artist, sports reporter, assistant sports editor, hostess at a steakhouse and traveled the US and Canada installing editing and design software in newsrooms. I was laid off from my job at the beginning of the summer and have been trying to find substantial work since then as well as lose this chub I gained having a cubicle job. I have a degree but I still don't know entirely what I want to be when I grow up.
That being said, I think an evening well spent should include beer, lots of laughing and maybe some video games. I love to write and have recently been enjoying plugging into my iPod and going for runs. I have horrible taste in music simply because I dig most of it. Not in that "look how awesome I am I like everything" sort of way, more of the "omg, why do you have Hanson in your iTunes" kind of way.

One day I splurged on junk food but the rest of the week was pretty normal. I played two soccer games on Sunday and one on Monday night and am pretty bummed because I’ve started feeling some achey pain in my knees and some discomfort [...]
A day late, a buck short… Posted in CH.I, Getting Healthy on 2 October 2009 Whoa…where did Thursday go? Heck, where did the last WEEK go? As I sit here at Tully’s sipping on the biggest size Pumpkin Spice Latte they offer (shhh…I had one from Starbucks already this morning), I am trying to get back into the swing of having responsibilities. Since you last heard from me, I have [...]
Tater tots, beer and…slimming down? Posted in CH.I, Getting Healthy on 24 September 2009 I feel like I have been cheating somehow. I haven’t really been thinking about what I’m doing, just getting back into activities I’ve always enjoyed, and I keep seeing the numbers go down on the scale. Won’t lie, it’s pretty stellar! Thinking back over the week, I would call it pretty average. I had a [...]
When there’s so many beautiful reasons I have to be happy… Posted in CH.I, Getting Healthy on 17 September 2009 I am sure most people are plagued by some self doubts, myself included, but I am also a strong believer in the power of a positive attitude. I figure with so many other things working against you, why bring in negative thoughts? While this is awesome in theory, it isn’t always the easiest to put into [...]
I like to move it, move it…hey! Posted in CH.I, Getting Healthy on 10 September 2009 Hello!

My dreams never included sitting behind a computer all day, so when I found myself hunkered down in cubeland after I [...] |
