adayinmylife is extremely addicting. I'm still suggesting you check it out. I'm planning to do my own, but I'm probably going to save it for the 24th when Andrew gets back. It'll be a happy, exciting day for me.

Andrew being gone is causing me to find ways to distract myself... so far I've been going through LJ communities and trying to find some fun ones. embodiment has inspired me to start keeping a daily hard copy journal. It doesn't have to be the typical "dear diary" journal, but I just need to do something in it everyday. adayinmylife is another fun and addicting ( Read more... )

It's funny how you just get nostalgic sometime. I didn't realize it was happening until today. It's been this slow creep of listening to a bunch of the music I loved in jr. high and high school and then BAM I just started looking up people from VH days on LJ. Two of the people who I talked with on a very regular basis, once upon a time, still post ( Read more... )

Ok, I broke with tradition yesterday and went to a Black Friday sale... at 1/2 Price Books. 20% off and somehow I found the full season of All-American Girl.

I wish people would worry about the issues. Not the fact that someone is a mother, or a former POW, or of African ancestry. That's all.

It's just a little after 3 in the morning and I have no idea when I am going back to sleep. About 10-15 minutes ago I was woken up by a very loud crash. I wandered around the house making sure everything was ok, went back to my bed, and laid down. I heard people talking outside my window, but didn't think much of it. Maybe 3-5 minutes later I hear ( Read more... )

I can't believe June is already over. The month went by so fast, but I really feel like I haven't gotten much done. Did do some reading which is always good. So here are the books for June rated out of 5 stars and divided by my own crazy mind into some way to distinguish the books.

For anyone who may have been curious about Wii Fit. It works. Andrew got it this week so I played it for a while when I went to see him yesterday. I got up this morning with sore legs and hips (keep your minds out of the gutter). The great thing was that I had fun the whole time. The games for aerobics and balance are both really enjoyable.
