New Year's!

My New Year's Day was good. I finished 2 of my great grandmother's task. I left the house (I went to two stores, Stop and Shop and the Chinese Restaurant). I also did work by turning in the 3rd Paper Diet Column, half an hour before the deadline, even with a semi-crashed computer. My last task is to... Sign in to see full entry.

Last day, 2009 was banner year for me. Two publications (Bi Women and The Nugatuck River Review). Semi-finals in a few contests. I have an ongoing column in an electronic magazine. I have eight more minutes to type this entry. Sixty words to go. Fifty-six at the beginning of this sentence. Half the... Sign in to see full entry.

Annoying things.

Printing out an entire version of something and realizing you missed a comma and needed to go back and make it perfect. My landlord who doesn't call me back even though she promised she would. Blogit that keeps eating my journal entry. The amount of money I have to put out tomorrow. Of course, the... Sign in to see full entry.

I have nothing to say.

I'm having one of those days where I feel like I've said everything. I want to be quiet and think about poetry and watch Monk. But, I didn't come this close to getting on the 100 words website for December just to mess up now with three days to go. At least my introduction took up half of the... Sign in to see full entry.

Opposites Attract

My assistant and I are about the most opposite people on the face of the planet. Since I spent a week with her over Christmas, I've concluded that one can be really good friends with an opposite person, but you really should never go out with them if you want to stay sane. With her, this is not an... Sign in to see full entry.

Last Day

It's the last day at my parent's house. This day always feels a little sad but happy too because I get to go back to life as I know it. My mom and I might break out my Monk season 1 DVD. I have almost no money because I spent all the money I received for Christmas on next year's Christmas, Mother's... Sign in to see full entry.

Every Time I Come Home

I have to have a cheesesteak which is a very tradition Pennsylvania dish and is one of my big barriers to becoming a vegetarian along with seafood and shrimp fried rice. I think ideally I would like to keep eating meat, given that the animal a nice life before I ate it. If I want a burger I want to... Sign in to see full entry.

Christmas

Christmas has come and gone at my house. I received $100, some shirts, a keyboard (which I'm going to return for a corded one because I don't want to have another electronic device that can fail. With my luck it will run out of batteries right before a deadline). I'm doing just a little bit of work... Sign in to see full entry.

Christmas

I got a Borders gift card and to meet my almost one-year-old niece. She's adorable. I told her when she gets a little bigger I would let her sit in my lap and drive her around like I used to do with her daddy. Sometimes I can't believe he's a grown man. In my memories, he'll always be 6. I remember... Sign in to see full entry.

Travel

I'm all set for the trip. I finished anothe r Ender book. It was only 2.5 hours long. The van wil be here in 14 minutes. I feel over prepared. I have audio books, regular books, a notebook, and my Ipod.. Plenty of non-boring train entertainment for the 7 hour ride. It'll keep me from annoying... Sign in to see full entry.
