Last night we bought a new mattress with part of our tax return. It's something I've been looking forward to for at least a year, since our old mattress sucked royally after my herniated disc started up. It was too firm to really support my hips properly and it really made me hurt a lot, even with a fluffy down topper on it ( Read more... )

So tired. I think I am Christmas-ed out, y'all. I went over and hung out with Julie and Noah today and we went to Target to scope out the after-Christmas sales on Christmas stuff. Even though I didn't buy anything I came home covered in glitter ( Read more... )

Just managed to force myself through the requisite 1,667 words that I need per day this month to meet my National Novel Writing Month goal. I am working on a novel idea that I've been outlining and fleshing out with ideas ever since last year's National Novel Writing Month was over, and it's an idea that I actually had about four years ago. I'm ( Read more... )

Things have been hectic lately...mostly because work was really getting to me for a bit. A couple of my clients are really demanding this time of year, because they pile on the projects that are all due right before Christmas. That makes for a really stressful holiday season, which I kind of resent. I love this time of year and when things get ( Read more... )

My short story "One Word" is up at Six Sentences today. Go read it and leave good comments here!

Six Sentences is this cool online literary magazine that accepts stories that are ONLY six sentences long. I am a long-time reader and I could NOT be more pleased to be included among the writers!

I love chai, and I love anything herbal that tastes super fruity (like the Tazo Passion tea, especially when mixed half and half with lemonade!). I know there is a TON ( Read more... )

Things have been...good, I guess? There has been some stress, there have been some good things. I guess it all just averages out to normal ( Read more... )

I have SO MUCH TO DO today and I am never going to get it all done...I will probably be up most of the night working. I have a stupid meeting tomorrow at 10 that is really interrupting my day. I will also be at the office late, I'm sure. I really really hate this week, but as long as I can get past Wednesday I'll be good to go ( Read more... )

This week I tackled the project of taking everything off my 500GB external hard drive so I could repartition it. I had split it in half, thinking I'd fill the first half with Time Machine backups and the second half with media. Um, wrong. The first half barely got full and the media half had 5.6 gigs free when I started copying over. Our iTunes ( Read more... )

I hate it when I post to a community and forget an LJ cut...and then can't edit it.  D'oh!!!
