I haven't really spelled out what I'm doing on Facebook or Livejournal, but here's a quick synopsis ( Read more... ) -
The promises of a new year.
It's the seventh! I imagine many of you made your resolutions prior to the New Year, drank and ate to excess on the Eve, and then threw yourself into high gear on the 1st to get these resolutions going. Not me. I mean, I did the first part -- the excessive eating and drinking, the ignoring my novel, the letting the laundry lapse. All that good ( Read more... ) -
NaNoWriMo 2010
My intention during November was to give a weekly update on my word count and experiences during the month long novel writing extravaganza. But, after the second week, all I could think was: "If I write in Livejournal, am I wasting words? I could be applying words to my novel. Word count. WORD COUNT ( Read more... ) -
Writer's Block-head: NaNoWriMo Update - Week 1
According to my Facebook page, 2010 was The Year of the Novel. For nine months I did very little work on said novel. Instead, 2010 became The Year of the Garden, The Year of Eating Better, The Year of Learning to Love Exercise, The Year of Giving Up Coffee and Then Starting It Up Again Slowly Because I Need It Dammit, The Year of Improving My ( Read more... ) -
Summary - Week 6

I do like knowing well ahead of time when I'm going to a restaurant, though, so I can plan my meal accordingly from their website's menu. Take Friday night for example: We went to Lucille's BBQ, ate warm biscuits with apple-butter, giant ( Read more... ) -
Food Combining: Week 4
I feel like I should make a quick list here just to point out why last week simply did not work. In fact, we could even go as far as to call it a "tremendous failure ( Read more... ) -
Food Combining: Week 3
I'm nearing my the end of my third week of food combining. There was a glitch in week two and part of week three that Bob discovered. See, the book says you may start your day off with fresh fruit or fruit juice (or both), so I was doing both. Mom brought over her juicer and we were making delicious orange juice every morning. Turns out, the ( Read more... ) -
On writing and dieting.
The week really ends on Monday, but I'm sitting alone downstairs, listening to raindrops smack the pavement, and it makes me reflective. This entire week I stuck to the plan - juice and fruit all morning and trading off between proteins and carbs to match with my vegetables. Bob and I nearly had a sweets breakdown last night (the idea of red ( Read more... )
