What a month, already!
Phew. What a week. Couple of weeks actually. Most of my February contracts got delayed to a few weeks into March, which was already a very tight month, and writing madness ensued. Deadlines were all last week. Yesterday was reasonably quiet and I expect the same today. This is good because my office looks like an explosion hit it ( Read more... ) -
Because You Rock!
I just have to give a big round of applause to tcaptain who is totally rocking at getting into a gym routine. Twenty-seven workouts in, what, a month since deciding to get into shape; not to mention sticking to the schedule while moving house and while doing all those things that soon-to-be-parents do (like childbirth and daddy classes). Wow! I'm so proud ( Read more... ) -
What do you eat?
An interesting question yoinked from dancingwolfgrrl
Did you know that it is the week of eating in? Ok, actually, me either, until recently. But this has made me curious!
By my count, there are fourteen non-breakfast meals in the week. How many of them do you and your family cook at home? How many of those rely on prepared foods (canned soup, frozen ( Read more... ) -

Of Aching Muscles and iPhones
I've had a somewhat surreal last five days.
So on Wednesday, I woke up in pain presumably from over-exerting myself in a new cycling workout. Nope, not my legs, my shoulders--the stabilizing traps to be precise. Determined that a swim would work it out, I headed to the pool at lunchtime but found myself with a lung-full of water when I tried to ( Read more... ) -
Hey Cooks and Foodies
Trust some fabulous food bloggers, many of them Canadian, to come up with a cookbook to raise funds for disaster relief in Haiti. BlogAid has only been out a week and it's already raised $30,000. Wow.
The recipes these food bloggers put up on their sites are mouthwatering, so I can only image what's in this book.

Macha Nighmare is doing a survey on Pagans and giving. It's a timely and interesting topic, and one that northwestpass raises in his blog about a month ago. If you're Pagan, I encourage you to go take it. Here's the link and her note:
I am presenting a panel at PantheaCon on Pagans & the Commonweal, i.e., how Pagans involve themselves in efforts to create a ( Read more... )Words from a Blind Poet Sant
Until you wake up to what you really are
You'll be like the man who searches the whole jungle
for a jewel that hangs at his throat.
Oil, wick, and fire: until they mingle in a cruse
they scarcely produce light,
So how can you expect to dissipate the darkness
simply by talking of lamps?
You're the sort of fool who sees your face
in a mirror, ( Read more... )Juggling and Payoffs
I feel like I'm having a pretty productive and focused week. I seem to be juggling many, many projects right now. Most of them are behind-the-scenes things or prep-work for bigger dreams, so the outward progress isn't as dramatic, but its happening. Very exciting. Also very stressful ( Read more... )Yuletide and New Year Wishes
I think I may have had one of the best holiday seasons in recent memory. I think a large part of this was actually being in town for the holidays, which meant I managed to get out to a few parties, host one of my own, and spend time with many of my friends. Our basement was also whipped into some semblance of comfy, driven partly by our commitment ( Read more... )
