ZAM is sending me to San Fran this week - so excited! A break from UF is almost as appreciated as spending a few days in the state of my dreams! Don't have any particular plans after Tuesday when I have the conference - going to wander the city I think, and stay the nights with my cousin Karen. Details after... hoping to get some stories out of ( Read more... )

 This next week is going to busy... outside of my normal job! My editor wants three articles from me - a zone review for WoW (thinking Silverpine, but I might just review Tirisfal, as I've done most of it already... but there's less to talk about); a lore piece on Rift (tough to do since I can't exactly log into the game and look... might take most ( Read more... )

 So it's the last weekend of January, and my car has been sold (YES!!!). I haven't had a drop of alcohol since New Years' Eve ( Read more... )

 Happy 2011! We're already 1/3 through January (HOLY SHIT!). I've been sober every day since New Years Eve, haven't had a drop of alcohol. I've also been watching what I eat, counting my calories, and walking during lunch; I'm hoping to see the results soon! Work has been fine, and ZAM is going well; had a few articles posted recently. I have ( Read more... )

 time for a holiday update! Christmas with the fam was good. Carolyn came down from NY so we got to spend a few days together. I drank too much a couple of days. Gifts were a good haul:

- Complete car wash and buff kit, everything from a bucket to suds to wax.
- A slap-chop (different name, same concept). Used it tonight, worked pretty well!
- A ( Read more... )

 Whew, December already and let me just say, it is FREEZING out! I finally turned on the heat (to 65 degrees) last night, just to keep myself from freezing alive. Granted, not too much of a danger with Eva around :-)

So, what's new? I went to MA over Thanksgiving and stayed with the Sullivans! They moved back to their old home from elementary school ( Read more... )

Just some quick updates in life! Work is meh... I was put on probation due to falling behind on some items, which means I cannot apply to another UF position for 6 months. OUCH! On the plus side, I landed a job with the ZAM network as a news reporter. AWESOME!! It's only a pittance per month, but I get free premium access, administrative rights, ( Read more... )

 And it's been about a month and a half since I've posted! Well, today is Homecoming for UF. One of the secretaries at work had extra tickets to our Homecoming game, so I bought two for my dad and I (he's been wanting to see the Gators play all season, and I'm disappointed in myself that I haven't gone up to this point). While I didn't attend Gator ( Read more... )

I signed up for my eye appointment come Monday the 6th! Yahoo! New glasses will be good; and at last I get to use my eye insurance ( Read more... )

I'm in a funk tonight. Once again I failed to get into classes. This time the reason being when I went to apply for the non-degree seeking program, there was a nice message saying "Due to high demand from regular students filling up the classes, this program has been cancelled for fall and spring semesters."  So I'm SOL for another year.

I feel ( Read more... )
