So it's 4:00 A.M. and I'm still awake, because I cannot sleep, and not for a lack of trying. My insomnia has been getting worse and worse over the last week, and I can't seem to fall asleep until the time at which I am supposed to be getting up. Yesterday, I fell asleep at 7:30 A.M., slept through my alarm and my first class, and woke up at 11:45 A ( Read more... )

Long time no post. So yeah, I'm alive! Hello to anyone who actually still would read this thing ( Read more... )

I decided I should mention my other livejournal here, since I almost never update this one. I've been blogging about the local food movement and my foray into it at http://localfoodgirl.livejournal.com . The scope of the blog is limited to the world of food, but you all should go check it ( Read more... )

Today I took my first level test with USFSA (adult pre-bronze level) and passed fairly easily, so now I can compete in official competitions because I have a ranking. I feel non-anonymous (if barely). Yea ( Read more... )

Today, I am at home and bored, but yesterday I was in Canada not very not bored! I was very not bored for almost a week, but, oooh, I wish it could have been longer.

So talented, in fact, that I very gracefully managed to sprain my ankle in dance class today ( Read more... )

I've spent part of this week getting back in touch with old friends, though not intentionally. I called a couple of them for the first time in a while, but surprisingly a few more just called me out of the blue! A friend from high school finally decided to return a message I had left her at Christmas time, and another from college just moved back ( Read more... )

I have discovered one of the most annoying silly things in the history of the universe: a five year old incessantly singing a Christmas carol with the words all wrong, and refusing to correct it or stop singing it. After 45 minutes of listening to "Deck the halls with mountain surgar" I want to pull my hair out, but I can't really do anything ( Read more... )

For the last week and a bit I've been doing full time nanny work for a family from my church while the parents are away, and I've got most of a week to go. It's the same as I did last year, but twice as long. I thought that previous experience would make me more prepared for the task of juggling my life with that of the two children, and to a ( Read more... )
