We take a pause from monthly photo albums for a little bit of actual, thoughtful writing. Over the last year I've been filling my newly released time (kid away at college, no more volunteering to support everything he did) with some self improvement. I figured after 30 straight years of parenting, it was time to... Continue Reading →
Lessons Learned
In no particular order other than what pops into my head as I ponder this topic from events of the past month or so: Change is a constant - remember that new office we moved into in late summer? Well, I received notice on a Monday afternoon that we had to vacate it starting Thursday.... Continue Reading →
Change is good!
I have missed writing so much! In any form, be it here in journal format, the assigned writing I did for the MOOC course I took in the Spring, or the more structured blog posts submitted on Blogmutt. Heck, I don’t even get to tweet in those little 140 character bursts of thought hardly at... Continue Reading →
The Dog Pound Rocks
Check out the new addition to my LinkedIn profile! Yes, I managed to earn enough writing points (by essentially selling enough posts) to get up to Level 5. Wahoo! I originally hoped to make it there in June, but I've continually surpassed my writing goals these first 3 months. This will come to a... Continue Reading →
May 30th – Is this the month that never ends?
Seriously - is it? I know we typically all lament how darn FAST the days/weeks/months fly by, but either this blogging every day thing has made time slow down or else the 31 days of May are THE longest 31 days of the year! Now, I know I cannot attribute this feeling to just the... Continue Reading →
May 28th – Pattern broken but writing done!
I toyed with pushing myself up this morning to run again. Keep that even day in may pattern going. But..since I did do that track workout yesterday and my toe is not 100% I decided it was OK to skip today and switch things around. I'll still run every other day. The goal is to... Continue Reading →
May 26th – My writing writing writing motivation
But first.... The *plan* today was to lounge as usual during Uppers, then run on the 56 trail avoiding the extreme hills for a change, then shower, then start writing, then eventually head over E & R's place for afternoon working and dinner. That latter bit didn't quite happen, but I did have a really... Continue Reading →
May 25th – Losing Steam
Uh oh - I guess I should be impressed that I maintained my motivation to write in here every day for this long! I was literally in bed before I remembered tonight. Can you blame me? It's Friday. It's been an intense week. I left work after FINALLY training with my co-worker on her tasks... Continue Reading →
May 19th – Hearth and Home
Catchy title eh? Ads a lovely delusion of grandeur to the much more boring reality that I basically stayed put and did chores 😉 OK, not entirely true. I did run out to Starbucks to grab breakfast. My cereal box for the week was empty and I didn't want to make eggs and I have... Continue Reading →
May 15th – Nada Mucho
In my quest to learn as much as I can about web marketing and copy writing and those new adventurous things I'm trying to do to help me earn more money for things like, oh, cats and their clogged up bladders (ahem) - I watched part 1 of a video series specifically on copy writing....
