18/12/2006 Blogging …I never make New Year’s Resolutions. I figure that if you’re going to commit to doing something it doesn’t matter what time of year you do it. It was November when I quit smoking late January when I started working out and eating right and October when I started writing again. I’ve never felt compelled to make January 1st a benchmark for changing anything before. However, I have been challenged to actually blog on a regular basis. Why, I’m not entirely sure. My life isn’t all that exciting, and the things that are exciting or momentous I’m probably not going to put out there for public consumption, but I suppose I’ll find something to fill the white space.
Any and all suggestions are welcome, and this space may move as I’ve heard that leaving comments here can be troublesome. I’m sure I’ll be pestering people to help me figure out how to use the various formats (this means you, Mark and Angie ;-) ). ttfn   23/06/2006 Change ..."any transition serious enough to alter your definition of self will require not just small adjustments in your way of living and thinking, but a full-on metamorphosis." - Martha Beck 15/06/2006 good reminder ...As we grow up, we learn that even the one person that wasn't supposed to ever let you down probably will. You will have your heart broken probably more than once and it's harder every time. You'll break hearts too, so remember how it felt when yours was broken. You'll fight with your best friend.. You'll blame a new love for things an old one did. You'll cry because time is passing too fast, and you'll eventually lose someone you love. So take too many pictures, laugh too much, and love like you've never been hurt because every sixty seconds you spend upset is a minute of happiness you'll never get back. Don't be afraid that your life will end, be afraid that it will never begin. ~anonymous~ 22/10/2005 Autumn musingsI do love fall. The brilliance of the colors, the crisp mornings, something about it has always spoken to me. Driving down the dirt roads to work today, after stopping for a Hot Cider and a Pumpkin donut, I was struck with how something as scientific as photosynthesis could bring such beauty into our lives. There's a serenity about fall for me, a centering that I don't feel at other times of year. I've been told that it's "my season," and I suppose that it is. It's the time of year that I connect to the most, and always have. Enjoy the kaleidoscope, it's fleeting. It's a reminder that everything changes, and to embrace every moment that we can before something new comes along to take our focus. 22/07/2005 Inner B!tch Calendar for TodayFriday, July 22

11/07/2005 Onward!ok, ok, i'm updating with more than lyrics.
work has been insane. i'm helping to teach the new computer system (one of about 2 dozen) to our home office. we have about 300-400 users to train by august 21st. first two classes that i helped to develop are done, and i'm feeling pretty good about it. really kind of into it. thinking about targeting hr when i do my job search in cali. the training has really been a lot of fun, and i think that it's something that i could do full time. while it's been a lot of fun, i still have to keep up with my regular 40+ hour a week job and it's christmas in retail, so that's a zoo too.
trying to become an active participant in life again. well, my version of life. *g* getting back in touch with some old friends, getting out of the apartment, but most importantly, writing. i've got a new take on the book, and the scarlet boa contest was just announced, so that's two projects to be focusing on, and i'm pretty excited about them both.
on the smoking front, i'm on day 227 of being smoke/nic free. never would have believed it in a million years. was just named to the bonfire brigade on the quitnet, and it's an honor that i don't take lightly. to be able to reach that many people through that vehicle is really powerful, and i'm humbled that others would entrust me with the position of giving advice and a mood lift to so many.
i've decided to do my best to smile, no matter what. i read one time that if you force yourself to smile, even when it's the furthest thing from your mind, it will improve your mood, and for the most part, i'm happy. not saying that i don't get irritated, or a little sad at times, or worried about things, but over all, the general mood really is happy, and you just can't ask for more than that. 12/05/2005 From the daily Inner B!tch calendarMonday, May 9
11/05/2005 Hot water has been achievedwaaaaaaahooooooooo!!!! Back in business. Only took him 13.5 hours to get back to me and almost 5 to do the job. damn good thing I took the day off. But, lots of stuff cleaned up, some sorted and i've got a brand spankin' new water heater. can't complain too much about that, now can I? Water heater bluesCame home from job #2 tonight to a gurgling and hissing noise that I finally determinded was coming from the water heater. Upon turning on the hot water, I realized that I had a lot of cold water. Between IM and the phone I managed to get everything shut off (after calling the landlord, of course) and started the process of clearing out the front of the closet where said leaking water heater currently lives. I'm taking tomorrow off of work to cope with this, because who knows when the landlord will ever call back. I do so love being a nag. ugh. The positive in this is that I'll start sorting things out over there and get some things cleaned up. Already have a stack for the trash, just didn't want to take it out to the dumpster in the dark. It can wait for morning, not like they're gonna show up with a brand spankin' new tank at 2am. Pretty proud of myself for getting the thing shut off, even if I had to be walked through it over the phone. 06/05/2005 one week agoI was at the Vampire Ball! Really had a blast dancing with the Tangents/Feehan gals. Gonna have to get pics up soon. Hmmm ...supposed to be able to embed pics here ...gonna have to play with that. 03/05/2005 No clueNo clue on this thing, just couldn't stand seeing blank space. I could rant about my relationship with my husband, like he's doing, but why? Rather focus on my writing, my friends etc ... I write erotic romance, hopefully to be pubbed by end of year. Just got back from St. Louis and the Romantic Times conference. Fabulous time, good workshops, great friends. Also enjoy writing poetry. tend to do that when journalling as opposed to prose, so there will probably be a fair amount of that in here. k, guess that's it for now. this could be fairly interesting.
