We met Friday and had a good time! There was a good mix of introverts and extraverts, a lot of common ground, some good munchies, and fast friendships. I felt very quiet, which is funny since I was the common link with everyone there.
As far as the book itself? Well, there’s not much to report, […]
Today, I was looking for a youtube bootcamp type of workout, and actually managed to get myself into a group of ostensibly workout vids that actually had been flagged for adult content. The shirts are tiny, or pulled up, as are the bottoms. I get that we need to see form and all, but do […]
I promised a blog post on NaNoWriMo ages ago. I’ve procrastinated enough. On my wedding anniversary, I let the Spousal Unit read it. He said it was good, had a lot of potential, so I know it’s worth something in its own right.
However, even if it had sucked, I still came out […]
Back in the good old days, you may remember, when I first bought this domain and blogged all the time, I was a member of a book club. I loved it so much, even when I hated the book we read. I loved to blog about what we were reading at the time.
Since starting to […]
Last year was a big one for me. Most of these didn’t feel very monumental at the time, but I made some enormous changes and decisions in my life. Each of these deserves their own blog post, but at the rate I’ve been going, I doubt it’ll happen. So, here’s the summary of the biggies:

Yes, I’m doing it, and for real this year. Not like 2009 when I had way too much to deal with emotionally to write it, and got a total of 500 words down. That said, I have way too much to deal with physically this year, but I’m up to 15000 words or so, so […]
I wrote this Sunday as a Facebook note. Most of the folks who read this blog know me in real life, too, but the Spousal Unit requested I post it here anyway. Here it is, only slightly edited, mostly to delete names, even though I know it would be relatively simple to figure out identities […]
This morning I was in a real funk. I was mulling over the misaligned values I often aware I have, and was feeling real guilt about it. Shadowhelm had linked a clip of Dr. Neil deGrasse Tyson talking to Bill Maher about “mortgaging our future”:
I was wondering where it had all […]
Since the last blog post, I’ve further refined my long term plans and how to get there. I am doing an old, outdated version of Dan Miller’s 48 Days program, which really has helped me to focus this whole process instead of my usual route of second guessing myself every step of […]
Today I’m working on my Mission Statement. Two years ago I had A Plan to go back to school and get my engineering degree. I was gonna work for NASA! Or even better, Richard Branson. Whatever. Don’t get me wrong, I was deadly serious about it, despite my own apprehensions. I really felt like this […]
