Preparation for an adventure!
So! Today is Wednesday! On Friday I go to SOAR at McMurry, and on Monday I fly out to Tennessee ( Read more... ) -
A day for Craftiness!
So, in accordance with my decision to attempt to update this blog on a more regular basis (and perhaps get over my writer/editor block), I'm treating you to another entry today! My plan is to start typing and forge an entry through the course of the day as I find new things to talk about.
I think I'll start with the subject of mail. I love mail. I ( Read more... ) -
How is it June already???
So, I seem to still be unable to post entries with any sort of regularity. Apologies for that, if anyone was sitting around waiting for me to write something worth reading. I need to get better about it, this summer looks like it's going to be one long adventure.
I don't know if anyone really noticed, but my 20th birthday was May 26th. It was a good ( Read more... ) -
On the Subject of Mothers, Specifically Mine
To me, it seems quite fitting that my first post in this blog--the "rebirth" of my online journal, if you will indulge me with the phrase-- falls on Mother's Day. With my first new entry, I celebrate my own mother. She's awesome!
My mom was born in Chicago a little more than a half-century ago, and spent a good amount of her childhood migrating back ( Read more... ) -
Home Once Again
So, I spent two days after my return from WJMC attempting to blog/clean/get back into my routine. I spent most of the first day asleep. (Considering that I averaged 5 hours of sleep a night during the conference... yeah, I would say sleeping in was a good thing.) I also slept in the second day, and after finally waking up went through the TTUISD ( Read more... ) -
WJMC Day 6: Home again, Home again...
So, this morning was the last bit of WJMC. I got up at 5 and had all my things packed and ready to go by 6, which wasn't intentional but was still nice. :) Because of the early-ness of my being ready, I was one of the first two people to arrive for breakfast. (Which, as usual, was wonderful ( Read more... ) -
WJMC Day 5: There's a Gala at the end of this entry
Today was amazing, but long. Or at least it feels long now... then again, I somehow managed to wake up a little before 5:00 AM. Because of the untold hours of sleep I've (willingly) lost during the conference, I believe I will make this a somewhat short entry. At the very least, I will try.
Since I woke up so early, I did get to go down to the gym ( Read more... ) -
WJMC Day 4: Capital Idea, eh?
I can't believe how fast the days are going by! It's already Wednesday, meaning the Conference only has one full day left... honestly, I'm not ready for it to be over ( Read more... ) -
Monuments and Pigeons and Photography, oh my! (WJMC day 3)
Today was a very long day. Other than the discovery that there is in fact a sort of shower-control-faucet that I don't know how to work properly (hence the last two days of cold shower), the early morning was pretty much the same as yesterday. Oh! Except for the fact that we were all in matching polo shirts... and not-so-matching bottoms.
Our first ( Read more... ) -
WJMC Day 2
My day today began at about 5:00 AM. Yes, that was my doing and not that of the conference. I set three alarms, one for 5, one for 5:30, and one for 6. I woke up with the first one and then went back to sleep... so I actually got up at 5:30. Breakfast was at 7, so why in the world did I get up so early? Well, to start, I just like getting up early ( Read more... )
