On weight loss goals
Weight loss is such a rollercoaster for me. Only rather than going up and down, I just go down, plateau, wait, go down a bit more, stall out again... You know, when I'm looking at fitness and workout stuff on Pinterest, or reading one of my fitness magazines, or playing around on SparkPeople or MyFitnessPal, I get motivated, inspired, and, I guess ( Read more... ) -

I know it sounds cliche, but turning 29 has already turned on the "I'm old" sirens. Which is just sort of making me hate life, a lot of aspects of my life, as they stand, now, with only one year left of my twenties ( Read more... ) -
Writing and writing
I'll be sad to take a hiatus from my writing group for the next several weeks. My last meeting with them is this Thursday, and then we're breaking so that I can deliver this baby. Of course, I imagine we'll still email each other things and keep active online. And soon I'll be able to juggle meeting with them again. Of course, when Shawn and I ( Read more... ) -
(Untitled)
Having a writing deadline is awesome for productivity. My writing group chose prompts for one another to write short stories at our meeting two weeks ago, and finished drafts are due at our meeting tomorrow. I have about half of mine written, and I managed to plot out the rest of it this afternoon, so I can finish the writing tonight. But without ( Read more... ) -
Money and Writing
So, I still haven't received my holiday bonus from work. From what I understand, we're getting them, but I was expecting it at the xmas party yesterday, and no such luck. Nor was anything in my mailbox this morning. So I'm getting pretty annoyed, because I don't know how close to christmas they expect me to cut my christmas shopping. Jesus ( Read more... ) -
NaNo Update
I've been behind in my NaNo novel since day one, but at least I'm keeping up a decent pace on it. With any luck I can catch up by the end of this weekend. I think I'm sketching out a decent story arc, so that's a good thing. I'll have a lot of blanks to fill in later ( Read more... ) -
NaNo 2010
It's almost here, ladies and gentlemen. NaNoWriMo2010 is upon us. I had a flash of inspiration yesterday and have completely changed the novel I was going to write. I've abandoned the gypsy idea in favor of one about the elements personified, set, most likely, in ancient Greece or thereabouts. I'm very excited. Of course, actually finishing this ( Read more... ) -
Food woes
Ugh. I had McDonald's for dinner tonight. In my defense, I had the salad first. But it's sort of finally hitting me that I can't be eating that stuff. It's not good for the baby, and I don't want this kid to be hooked on junk food like a fat kid when it's born. And everyone keeps telling me that what they craved and ate a lot when they were ( Read more... ) -
14 weeks
I've been forgetting to blog/journal as much as I wanted to throughout this whole pregnancy. I want to remember how things went. Well, I'm at 14 weeks, and the nausea is finally starting to go away. I still feel kind of sick in the morning, but most times I can eat something and it goes away. So far, only two people have tried to rub my belly, ( Read more... ) -
