Book #18, Tommy Gun
This one was interesting, but also took a while. I don't know anything about guns (no seriously, not anything), and the tommy gun is one of the only ones I recognize, so I thought this would be an informative read. And it was; the history of the tommy gun is more complicated than I thought. It was invented shortly after WWI, to prevent anything ( Read more... ) -
Goal #85, Organize my CD collection
I think I more or less did this in March, when I discovered SwapACD.com. I had several big cardboard boxes of CDs, multiple CD cases, and other single CDs scattered all over my apartment that never got organized, because I really didn't need to when they were all on my computer and I could just burn a copy of anything I wanted! I also only really ( Read more... ) -
Goal #15, Meet 5 new people
Maybe I'm cheating on this, but....I got a new job in April. So yeah, I met 5 new people there, and more. :) I am really counting this because this is my first job where I really feel like I've become friends with my co-workers. At Harley, I was friends with Mumford of course, but even though everyone else at Harley was nice to me, we were never ( Read more... ) -
Goal #21, Go for a run in the rain
I had actually added this to my list, then taken off because I'd gone on runs where it started sprinkling, barely, and it made the air so instantly muggy and horrible that I was like "this doesn't even sound fun, I'm taking it off." But then I ended up doing it on accident, so back on it goes! (It's replacing my goal to do a half Ironman, because ( Read more... ) -
Book #17, Cesar's Way
Maaaaan, this is gonna be the first year since I started that I don't hit 50 books! Goodreads says I'm 12 books behind, so even if I was counting the manuscripts I'm reading & evaluating, I'd still be 6 behind, because I'm pretty sure I've only done 6 so far. Dang. And at the rate things are going, I definitely won't be able to play catch up! So ( Read more... ) -
Goal #93, Get those crowns done the dentist keeps hassling me about
Okay, I think I'm behind on posting about goals achieved, because it's been hard to sit down on my computer without being bothered. But my dogs are both sleeping and I've broken Marlene of the habit of barking at me when I'm on the computer (with a strategically used squirt bottle, sitting on the desk next to the computer right now), so time to ( Read more... ) -
Book #16, 44 (Book 5)
Well. I finally had time to finish a book. According to Goodreads, I'm 10 books behind still for my goal of 50. :( Not sure I'm going to catch up on that! Nowadays, when I have free time when I would usually read, I nap. Or play with dogs. Or walk dogs. Or work on making things that will make money to pay for dog vet bills, car repair bills (found ( Read more... ) -

Holy crap, guys. Holy crap. I've been so busy and now I need to put it all in this here journal. So I'm going to try to do it in bits and pieces. This one will be - um, about dogs ( Read more... ) -

Another update post! And this one isn't even dog-related. It's writing-related! Because I'm trying to do that again now! This week I sent out three, count 'em, THREE, stories to various publications. And I've decided to stop really targeting the "pro payment" markets like I was originally. For one, I'm tired of getting rejections (ha). For another ( Read more... ) -

OH MY GOSH it's been almost a month since I last posted! Well, if you're friends with me on Facebook, you know it's because my life has gone a little out of control recently. In a good way. Don't worry ( Read more... )
