On the plus side, Mama and I enjoyed our time in Atlanta, and I get to cross off #41 on my 101 in 1001.

The other reason is because that is exactly how I feel.  Late Saturday night/Sunday morning (around 4AM) I wound up in the hospital.  It was either food poisoning or a really bad case of the stomach flu (which is what they are inclined to think it was).  I didn’t get sick until 10PM, but I was so dehydrated by 4AM that I had to go to the hospital.  They told me that technically, an adult shouldn’t be able to get as dehydrated as I got, so it’s a good thing I went!

Anyways, I never want to feel that way again.  So - “Nevermore!”

Monday, “Your Weight”: Oprah discusses her recent weight gain and thyroid issues, her trainer Bob Greene makes an appearance
Tuesday, “Your Health”: Dr. Oz gives us his Ultimate Health Checklist and lots of other helpful information
Wednesday, “Your Spirit”: several spiritual leaders discuss living in a way that is open and honest to yourself
Thursday, “Your Money”: Suze Orman gives us her financial action plan for 2009 (and offers her book up as FREE download until January 15)
Friday, “Your Sex Life”: Dr. Laura Berman helps us get off on the right foot sexually

It’s interesting that the theme for the week is being honest - with yourself, your partner, your family . . . in general. This is not necessarily something that I struggle with, but it is something I try to be very conscious of in general. Right now I think about this in context with the big decisions I will be facing in the next couple of months (What internship should I take? In what direction do I want to start off my career?). Along with my internship comes moving (which means that I not only will face starting over in a new city with new people, but what does that mean for my relationship with my boyfriend, who is in school here and will not be coming with me?).

As I face these decisions, I’m really starting to shape who I am as an adult and what kind of person/friend/employee/etc. that I want to be. And with every decision, I ask myself “am I being honest with who I am and who I want to be?”.

As for Oprah - I always enjoy Dr. Oz (if for nothing more than a reminder of what I should be doing) and Suze Orman always makes me feel good because, for the most part, I already do all the things she says to do. I think that Dr. Berman is an interesting new character in Oprah’s line-up, and I’m curious to see how far this relationship goes. I thought the weakest day this week was the episode with the spiritual leaders, but it’s entirely possible that I feel that way because I have much more specific spiritual beliefs and desires, so all these general spiritual conversations leave me feeling unfulfilled. I’d personally rather talk about God, not a “power” or “universal truth” or whatever the popular terminology is at the moment (though I completely understand why Oprah is taking this route, and it’s her show, so she can present the material however she wants to).

All next week (January 12-16) Oprah will be having “webinars” with each of these speakers (Monday’s will be with Bob Green, Tuesday’s with Dr. Oz, etc.), and there’s actually a decent amount of content on Oprah.com regarding each of the episodes that occured this week.  I think it’s great that Oprah’s beginning to really utilize her website to add additional value to her show.

Any one else been tuning in?

• 8/28/2006 — Busy weekend!
• 8/23/2006 — Thursday Thirteen #24
• 7/31/2006 — Education in the USA

So classes start tomorrow, and I’m back to the grind.  I think that this term will be a little less rigorous than last term (I have one less class), so I am looking forward to that.

I can also cross items #8 (they were out by New Year’s!) and #30 on my 101 in 1001 list.

Big things are coming in 2009 - I’m starting the search for an internship (already have an interview lined up for January!), I’ll be moving once the term is over, I’m helping Lisa with WordPress Chicago which takes place in June - and that’s just the first half of the year!
