Can't wait to see what everyone has written!

So, this one friend of mine and I have been playing phone tag for awhile. I called her several days before I went on vacation and left a message saying that I'd be "free" for the whole next week, etc., and that she should let me know when we could hang out. Not a peep. Not a word. Her sister on the West Coast was due w/her first, so I figured, well ( Read more... )

Well, here I am, back in the office after being off on a very decadent, unproductive vacation. It was loverly, and it bites to have to be back, but I DO have a new computer, and that gives me the major jollies. AND I don't have (many) deadlines breathing down my neck, so that's even better ( Read more... )

...I've been on vacation since last Friday, Sept. 1, using the fact that it was my first day of vacation as an excuse. I slept most of that day. Saturday? Slept most of that day--using the icky weather outside as an excuse. Caught up on taped TV. Sunday? Went to the National Archives and the National Museum of Art w/a couple of friends. Hung out, ( Read more... )

Thursday, I went w/giro_girl and two friends from work to see Little Miss Sunshine. This movie is TREMENDOUS! Yes, I shout that from the lj heavens! It's soooooo good. Then we went out eat and chatted. Turns out new editor is into much of the same TV as I am, and that's awesome, b/c since moosesal followed the call to CO, it's been a bit lonely for me on the TV ( Read more... )

I walked to the bookstore yesterday and then all the way home. Total yesterday, I figured out that I did about three miles. Got a blister on the side of one foot from some sock/shoe friction, but that didn't stop me this morning. I put a little gauze over it and tramped in anyway ( Read more... )

Yes, yes, this is not a reason for most people to get giddy, but I'm hoping this is the start of something good for me. I've done this before, which means not that I failed before, but that I've proven to myself that I'm capable of doing this. More than my strength, my stamina really needs work, but that will come ( Read more... )

I don't normally not finish books. It may take me years, but I'll eventually break through. Hence, no ital'd titles.

1. Bold those books you've read.
2. Italicise started-but-never-finished.
3. Add three of your own.
4. Post to your livejournal.

Life has definitely gone on w/o me, and that's cool. It w/b far too much pressure to think that folks were waiting on bated breath for my next move.

( Where I've been )

Okey dokey, never done anything like this before, and I've been way outta the fanfic and lj loops lately, but I was gonna do this last year and didn't so I'm doing it this year. And, hell, if someone already has, folks can just use their same stories--like using the same paper in two classes (don't tell me you never did it). It'll all be news to me ( Read more... )
