"Not Your Typical"

Gripe time ... as I am doing EC drops, I see blog after blog referring to "not your typical [blog/mommy blogger/mom next door/etc.]."

I suspect none of these people have bothered to read any other blogs.

They are typical. They talk about kids, budgets, marriage (or divorce), housework, shopping ...

I mean, really. Dictionary, maybe? Look up the word "typical" before deciding something isn't.

Gosh golly

I was terribly slack the last couple of days, as far as keeping on track with projects and whatnot ...

But yesterday was an awesome day. I helped one of my best friends a bit with a relationship problem she was having with her beloved, although of course I worried that I was only going to make things worse. Seemed to work out all right though, and I have hope that things will continue to improve for her.

Then I spent the evening hanging out with my other best friend, and we talked of cabbages and kings and things that go with a life of style, and I found I was able to really open up about some things that I had never felt safe enough to talk about before.

Couldn't sleep for sh*t tho, and it'll be a drag-assy day. If that's the trade-off, I'll take it, gladly.

Friday?!

Not sure how the week slipped by so fast! A good week, to be sure, both productive and pleasant ... But yesterday I managed to not post or tweet much, the day just whirled by.

Wonder what delights today will bring ...

And into another night

Today wasn't quite as productive as yesterday, but I don't have any complaints, either.

Random thoughts...

I have been making progress with productivity, but now I feel I need to reconsider the order in which I am attempting to tackle my tasks.

And there are still things I want to get done online that I am not getting around to ... my email is totally out of control, mostly thanks to the dozens of groups I belong to and never participate in.

I haven't gotten to Facebook in a while, nor MySpace in forever (tho I hate MySpace, so, meh) ... I've mostly lost interest in using LiveJournal since they moved their servers out of the country. I did pop in at Tribe.net today, but only because of a message from one of the Wild Aspies Tribe members; I didn't even read any posts there.

And the list goes on ... Wild Wear tee-shirt designs I'm not making, friends' blogs I'm not commenting at, other social networking things I just don't have the mental energy to slog through.

I've been working on simplifying, but there's still more work to do.

Best of all, though, was today's technomancer luv ... Life as always is ups and downs, but I am learning better to appreciate the ups and let the downs roll by.

THIS IS SO WRONG

Seriously. So wrong I couldn't accept the responsibility of ganking the picture. And this is ME saying it's wrong. So, yanno, only click over if you're not going to blame me for what you see.

Late Start

Up late last night, and was left to sleep in despite my orchestrations to be awoken early. Sigh. Getting better at time management and staying on-task, tho.

And now, for no particular reason, the bunny with a pancake on its head. :)

Today

Today was definitely a good day. Quite possibly one of the best I have had in quite a while. And it was all just little things going well.

Nice how things can work out that way.

More bits and pieces ...

EntreCard is being horribly slow and still hasn't straightened out the widget issue for my Today^ blog ...

But on the plus side, Sheta^ called, and we got to talk for a while. Her Internet connection has finally been fixed so now we can get back to our usual online babbling. :)

Good start

Got up early enough today to get some writing done - aimed for 3k words, got 3.6k done in under three hours. Go, me!

Also heard from Igora, Lady of the Drum; might be starting circle early this year, indoors of course, but sounds good to me.

Supper Success

Everybody ate, and nobody died! It's certainly a red-letter day ... And to think all I had to do was follow the directions on the package.

Next time, I'll be really daring, and go for the chicken tartar ...

Stir Crazy

I don't usually cook dinner - I am lucky to have a Husband who is not only an excellent cook, but enjoys cooking as well.

But tonight I venture forth into the strange territory of domestication and the alien realm of that place called the kitchen, and am at this very moment creating something that hopefully will be both edible and accepted by the pickier members of the household.

Wish me luck!

Favicon!

Thanks to these folks^ at FreeFavicon.com, we now have the ever-so-spiffy JISE logo in place for our favicon.

w00t.

Taxes done!

And here's hoping that next year's return is a lot more complicated to file.

Changes afoot ...

... And some landmarks on the horizon.

February fifth marks this blog's first anniversary, and I'm closing in on 200 posts.

I'd bake a cake, but, well, who am I trying to fool? I don't bake, and the last time I tried to feed a blog it took three days to get the crumbs out of the USB port.
