New Year's Resolutions, 2010 Edition
In an attempt to keep my New Year's Resolutions, I'm creating an overall resolution, with small, measurable goals. Once I feel I've made progress on one goal, I'll come up with another ( Read more... ) -
Feeling the Pressure
Finally posting again, since I'm sort of stuck at a school for my old job and have nothing better to do in between clicking buttons on the computers. Of course, I'd much rather not be sick while I'm doing it, but that seems like a futile hope at this point.
Plus, when I get home, I have to do some work on my stupid sports fan paper. I really couldn' ( Read more... ) -
Rounding up July
As always, I mean to post, forget to post and realize that it's a lot simpler not to post than it is to post. It ends up being three weeks since I've last posted, the fact of which Live Journal loves to taunt you with whenever you visit the site. But no matter! I am finally back with a post about July, the gist of which is pretty much I went to ( Read more... ) -
On Organizational Accomplishments
I actually got quite a lot done today, though in some ways it doesn't feel like it. I suppose that's because you don't get the emotional payback on a project that doesn't significantly alter the landscape of your life. I emptied an entire box from my apartment filled with stuff from my bathroom, worked to either put things away in their proper ( Read more... ) -
Happy Fourth
I hope everyone had a happy Fourth of July!
Mine was quite nice; I spent the morning hanging out at home, reading and watching National Treasure: Book of Secrets. In the afternoon, we went to the pool for a while, then headed to the country club to watch the local fireworks display from there. I enjoyed my Fourth, but I do find the recent focus on ( Read more... ) -
Moved Out
I am now officially moved out of my first apartment. Even though we moved just about everything out last weekend, I still got a little sad thinking about it. Maybe I wouldn't feel quite as sad if I was moving someplace new, but for now I'm back home in Houston, trying to find a job. The good news about my apartment was that they're upscaling the ( Read more... ) -
Waiting for my Heart to Slow Down
The puppy tumbled partway down the stairs today. He's perfectly fine, but I about had a heart attack. Taking care of a puppy has me pretty much determined that I'm not cut out for having kids. Case in point, the puppy was actually more upset by my screaming than by his actual fall. So, if raising children is worse than raising a puppy, I'm probably ( Read more... ) -
Who Wants a Clean House?
Whenever I need to feel motivated to clean up/declutter, I just watch some Clean House on the Style network. Today's task was tackling the pile of makeup that had accumulated in my bathroom since I cleaned out my apartment in Austin. The problem with having two places to store things is that eventually you fill both places up. In order to get my ( Read more... ) -
A Little Update...Finally
I suppose it's a little cliche to start an entry with a cheerful little statement about how long it's been since I last updated, but it has been a few months, so I'll ask for forgiveness and move on from there. I don't know if anyone is still reading my (sporadic) entries, but I suppose I can keep journaling for posterity, if no one else. A lot has ( Read more... )
