I don't know if I have ever talked about this before on here, but I am a firm believer in something called synchronicity, which is the idea that when you want something and you throw that desire out to the universe (God, the powers that be, whatever you personally call it), the universe will work to bring it to fruition. And if you're aware of it, ( Read more... )

I looked around online last night and stumbled upon the website that makes these straps. On the site they were sold out of every owl strap except the red and yellow one (the one on the far left in the picture on the previous post). and it is only 20 bucks! So I ordered it. Even though I love the one in blue and would love to get it someday, I am ( Read more... )

I should learn that as soon as I make absolutes I am going to break them. I am going to write a long-ish post today, because all the recent things in my life intertwined more than usual this week ( Read more... )

A little later, as I was sitting in bed reading ( Read more... )

This is a sample of some pics I got developed today, cross-processed on that slide film from my photographer friend. I am so pumped at how cool and weird they are. Check the others at my flickr site: Read more... )

I have been thinking a lot lately of my motivation to lose weight. Is it healthy? Realistic? And mainly, what motivates me the most, what inspires me the most when I think about it... it is a size on a pair of jeans, the bragging rights to say I lost 80 lbs, or the ability to beat my friends to the top of the mountain?

I won't lie, there are desires ( Read more... )

I desperately needed tonight. I was supposed to hang out with a friend, but that ended up falling through, so I worked on the book. YEA!!!!

I have been struggling a LOT with my series as of late. I was so sick over the summer and hardly did anything for a few months. Recently I got back into the groove of things, working on an updated outline to ( Read more... )

I am starting to think I am cursed as of late. I have four different cameras at the moment, all of them not cheap, two of them quite old, and I have broken something on every single one of them as of last night ( Read more... )
