New Year, New Laziness

Looks like I have sunk to a new level of laziness with the blog. I keep telling myself to do better but then I start another home-improvement idea and cease to contemplate the blogosphere!

Well today is a new day (not that I know what tomorrow will bring)!

Watched a new series on PBS called Faces of America that really intrigued me. So if you get a chance check it out. It is all about Genealogy and puts a question to the participants about thinking about how their ancestors shaped their lives? For which I find fascinating because of my own ancestry.

December 2009

So the year 2009 is coming to an end and along with it an end to a decade. I wonder what December of 1909 was like... Did someone journal about their thoughts on the end of that year as well as the end of that decade?
I am going to think about that for the next two days and see how 2009 stacks up.

Baby Matthew has arrived!

Matthew Lee was born today, November 23, 2009 at 5:30 weighing in at 8 lbs 1 oz.
Can't wait to see him. And how nice of him to arrive in time for Thanksgiving.

Wow how time flies...

With all good intentions I had planned on being better at posting but then life happens. I have been more frequently posting to Facebook, took a break from MySpace and pretty much stopped visiting Twitter. Oh, well.

So since July...

Nothing much has happened. Still working the job (although it has gotten more involved I'm still liking it) and still just being me!

My niece is getting so big, Layton's two and talking up a storm and I can't wait to meet my cousin's baby (Matthew) who's due in November. There's a lot of baby news. My friend Ashley had her baby, Gabriella in September, Stephanie is due in December (Sydney) and Heather is due in January (Sean). Whew...I'm so excited!

I've been writing but it has been a trail. Thanks to Heather that is a thing of the past. This month we're going to keep track of each other and motivate. We call our two person group, Kick Arse, because we need the other to kick our arse into gear so that we have a finished product at the end of the year. Here we come PRO!

Planning a vacation in November, possibly a cruise. I've never been on one so I'm not sure I'll like it or if I'm afraid I'll like it too much but I like to do things I haven't done before.

That's all for now maybe I will get better about posting if my life gets interesting I will definitely post about it!

Almost another day

Today I have been very productive. I have cleaned three rooms, organized my office & computer, made lunch, snack and dessert--believe me that is a good day! And here it is almost midnight. I should be sleeping, but I'm hyped up about my characters. It feels like I have finally gotten a handle on them and am ready to write. Not that I haven't already written 114 pages on this story-please God don't let that be wasted-and just now figured I got a handle on it!? Yeesh! Talk about taking the long way around. Anyway just thought I'd share my bit of good news. And believe me it is good news. Now back to writing before going to sleep.

Just another one of 'those' days...

If it can go wrong, it has. Today has been one of those days you wish you could have stayed in bed. But here I am at work, just trying to make it through. Now lets add; time to renew drivers license, dinner plans and needing to get something by the post office. urgh!
I can't wait until I'm in the bed tonight and hopefully everything is done!

This may be even more than I can do. I did however find a couple of other really great fixer uppers. Will keep looking.
