NaNoWriMo started 2 days ago. Today is day 3. I set a goal for myself of 2000 words per day, figuring that would be the best way to get to the 50,000 word goal.
As of now, my word count is 0. I blame The SAK. He was down this weekend, and since weekends are the only time I get to see him, I didn't want to spend hours fighting with writer's ( Read more... )

Once again, I am at work and very, very bored. Ugh.
I'd say in the past two days, I've only done about an hour... maybe two... of actual work. It's sad. However, everyone around me is as unbusy as I am, so I'm not concerned. Just bored. I've been checking my CWRU e-mail compulsively. However, there's not much there. So, here I am, updating ( Read more... )

No update last night. I had thought really hard about it, promised I'd do it... then next thing I knew, it was 11:15, I was laying in bed half-awake waiting for The SAK to call me back and I realized that I had never done it. Oops. So, instead, you get a happy morning update, since I have 20 minutes to kill before a meeting and don't really want ( Read more... )

So I didn't exactly provide daily updates during my trip. Or anything that even remotely resembled updates at all - regular, daily, or otherwise. Oopsie. My excuse is that I didn't have readily available Internet access, although that doesn't explain what my excuse was over the weekend. My excuse for the weekend is that I was catching up on ( Read more... )

I know I didn't update yesterday. I just didn't get around to it - I was fairly busy at work (but I rocked! I got the freaky restored domain controller to quit whining and boot up error free! Go me!), so I couldn't do it there. I didn't do it after work because my evening looked something like this:

• 5:00 pm: Leave work
  
  
• 5:20 pm: Catch bus
  
  
• 5:35 ( Read more... )

In preparation for possibly leaving town tomorrow, I spent the evening doing some cleaning up. Mainly, I had to clean the Spud cage and change the cat litter. I get the litter box cleaned out, go to refill it, and find that there's no litter in the spare closet where it should be.
Hmm. I didn't remember being out of litter, but looks like I was ( Read more... )

I promised myself I'd clean out the Spud cage and get a resume sent out tonight. Have I done either of those things yet?
What do you think?
I realize the next logical question is, of course, "So what the heck have you been doing since you got home?" I've been doing lots of very important things. I'll even share what they are:

• Working on an ( Read more... )

Apparently, Prairie Dawn is also a type of rose.
As well as an endangered flower in Texas, a font, and also a tomato.
Not to mention the name of a random painting.
It's amazing what you can learn from the internet. Thank you, Google.

My good friend HoJo and I were talking over IM last night, and I realized something.
We have turned into two of the most pathetic love-sick girls on the planet.
No, seriously. Our last few AIM conversations have been variations on the following: HoJo: I have a boy. He's great.
PD: Yay. I have a great boy, too.
HJ: Yay. My boy did {insert ( Read more... )

The weekend with the SAK was a good one - we didn't win anything at the track, but we had a good time. Even when we switched over to "virtual gambling" in the 6th, 7th and 8th races, we still lost. This, actually, was a good thing, as there was no need to say, "Damn! Why didn't we bet on that one? We would have won!" After that it was dinner ( Read more... )
