I managed to work out again today. I'll have another short one before bed tonight since it seems to have worked the stiffness out of my arms. Now it's time to work out my brain!! Sign in to see full entry.

THE GOOD GIRLS MARIA’S STORY Wiesbaden, Germany-7 November, 1942 Nineteen-year-old Maria Erichsen is as cunning and ruthless as her grandfather Klaus. The short, slender girl with the dark green eyes and gingery hair would never be suspected of being a traitor to her “Fatherland.” Adolf Hitler is... Sign in to see full entry.

My back is a bit better today, so I'm going to try working out again. I'll be very careful, of course. I usually find that I feel much better on the days I'm able to work out than on the days I'm not. I'll definitely be doing some more writing today as well. I can't believe how well it's going!! In...

THE GOOD GIRLS MARIA’S STORY Wiesbaden, Germany-November, 1942 Grandfather closes the door loudly behind him. He’s gone out for the night, thank God. He won’t be home until well past midnight, and by then he’ll be too drunk to ask her what she’s been up to that evening. With a heavy sigh of relief,... Sign in to see full entry.

I meant to post more of Nikolai's story last night, but never got a chance. I did work on it briefly, but by the time I thought to post it, I was too tired. I've decided after long deliberation, I've decided not to enter the novel competition...The reason being it requires a one year writing... Sign in to see full entry.

Bet I got you all with that title, didn't I?... Last night was only the thrid day in the new year, and I've already broken one of my resolutions. It wasn't intentional, it was broken because of my stupid back. I couldn't work out last night because my back just hurt too badly. It still hurts today,... Sign in to see full entry.

Please excuse the foul language in the title of this post...I simply have no other way to express my sheer loathing for this woman. She utterly despised me, and likewise I her...Particularly after a comment she made to my friend and I one afternoon as we sat in her classroom. "Mrs. L" was a crude,... Sign in to see full entry.

What the heck is it with me? Normally, if you tell me something, I can't remember it past five minutes. Teach me a new language, though, and I usually remember the words or phrases I've just been taught for the rest of my life!! So what gives???? I've just been reviewing the Russian alphabet, and I...

I don't care for the German language, really. If you were to ask me to describe its sound to you, I'd end up reeling off a list of words that would go on forever. There are still days when I don't even like to admit the fact that I'm of German descent. I do have my reasons for this, but I'll not go... Sign in to see full entry.

Some of you may remember I posted a few months ago about the fact that I lost a couple of the letters that Mick had written to me. I was especially heartbroken about losing one that he'd written me after Grandpa died. I think God was trying to send me a message this morning, because I received a... Sign in to see full entry.

All in all, I've managed to keep up most of the goals (I don't care to use the term "resolution") I've set for myself. And it's only the third day of this new year!! I worked out again last night. Strangely enough, I'm actually enjoying it!! Odd, since usually I hate anything to do with excersising.... Sign in to see full entry.

I have to dash off and take care of a couple of things online and then I'm off to work on Nikolai's story and write in my journal. Study the Russian alphabet again this evening and work out again tonight as well. I'll work out once a day this week and move it up to twice a day next week. As I said... Sign in to see full entry.

This second day of my new year has begun quite slowly. I've had breakfast, but now I need a shower. I'm heading upstairs in a moment. After the shower, it'll be some writing and probably a bit of Russian as well. I slept in until 9:30 this morning, which is why I'm getting such a late start. Still,... Sign in to see full entry.

Yesterday it was eleven years. I made it through yet another anniversary of his loss pretty much unscathed...Except for those few seconds during the rose parade. Looking at the beautiful roses made me cry. That doesn't mean I wasn't in pain yesterday. Indeed, I most certainly was. I still miss his... Sign in to see full entry.

Well, I did work out tonight, albeit for ten minutes. Still, ten minutes is better than not at all. Better to start off slowly at first where I've not worked out for so long now. I wrote in my journal earlier this evening. I may work on Nikolai's story tonight. If not, then tomorrow for sure. At... Sign in to see full entry.

Well, the antivirus is now installed and working properly. The scan took forever, but better safe than sorry. Now, it's off to do some writing in my journal and then other writing. I hope you're all having a fantastic new year's day!! Sign in to see full entry.

Happy new year, my dear friends!! I hope all your new year's eve celebrations were fantastic...and safe. My new year's eve wasn't all that exciting.

Happy New Year's Eve, my dear friends!! Can you believe this is the very last day of 2006? I can't. Where the heck has this year gone? It just seems to have whizzed by!!

Well, at least he's on his way. I just ordered the first set from the classic media online store. It's actually cheaper there than at amazon.
