Speaking of Goals... Should I Bump Mine Up...?

I am desperate to own a house within the next three years. I don't really know why, but it would be SO COOL to have a place to call my own, PLUS, when I (eventually) get married, there is the hope for an even BETTER house, so I may not be as disappointed when I don't get my dream house right away,...

If My Job Were a Tangible Item, Would I (a) Drop Kick It through a Window,

(b) flush it down the toilet, or (c) feed it to my dog. Hmmm... that is a mighty good question. Right now, I wish I could just ditch it like a bad habit. It really isn't that bad, and my new coworker is really fun. I like most of what I do, but these 11, 12 and 14.5 hour days are killing me. Mondays... Sign in to see full entry.

I'm Sorry You Guys...

Lately, I am just having a really tough time getting myself motivated. I write so much all day and when I come home to make extra cash that I can't make myself type anymore... I need to find a new system. Ahh, oh well. At least I started my book! Take care, all! Sign in to see full entry.

Where I've Been - Sorry I Deserted You All....

Ok, I know you are all ready for a juicy romance story of how I was whisked away to the Adirondack Mountains of New York... But unfortunately, it isn't going to happen tonight. I was stuck at work until 9 tonight, which equals a twelve hour day. Man, am I pooped. But I missed you guys. That has to... Sign in to see full entry.

I Hate Spiders Part 2--Good Point, ThomasFranklin....Unfortunately,

each spider I've encountered has a strikingly different appearance from the others. The one in my house in between me and my computer was a teeny-tiny little guy not even the size of a pinhead. It's a wonder I even saw him, but I hate spiders. The one by the dog cage was a Daddy-long-legs. I think I... Sign in to see full entry.

A Spider Just Dropped from the Ceiling Right in Front of Me.,,,

Thank goodness it was *in front* instead of *on top of*!!! I swear, today must be the day of the spiders. I almost think I am reconsidering how much I want to buy my neighbor's house (ok, not my neighbor; she lives 2 miles away). Between tonight, this morning and last night - oh yea, and Monday...

Three Weeks at the New Job...

It is hard to believe it has been three weeks at my new job. The week I am on vacation may see a new face in the office, as a "staff editor" shall be joining the team. My boss made a point to stress to me that she started me earlier because she wants it to be known that my rank is above this new... Sign in to see full entry.

Spreading Myself Entirely Too Thin...

It's the name of my game and I truly must like it that way or else something is really wrong with me for doing it all the time. I feel like I can't relax unless I have about 4 or 5 things going on at once... NOT COUNTING my jobs at work. I can relax just fine there with nothin to do... sometimes I...
