After working another long week, (38 hours this time) I finally have a little room to breathe. I've got the next three days off to rest and recuperate, plus I'm taking some time off next week to go laptop shopping with my mom. We've both finally saved up enough money and I am SO excited to be so close to getting myself the laptop I've been wanting ( Read more... )

Damn. Do I know how to neglect this thing, or what? Heh ( Read more... )

Well, if any of you have been wondering where I am, I got sick. Yes, AGAIN. Gah. Though I think this time it might have been more allergy than germ related, since I contracted my "illness" on Wednesday and I'm already feeling pretty much back to normal. (Though my voice still sounds like crap) Regardless, I've been out of the online world since ( Read more... )

As usual, DRS inspired me to write. I've begun revisions on my Top Secret short story which will be seeing the light of the day soon-ish. My plan is to polish it up a bit then post it on our restricted critique forum, which is viewable only to a select few Dead Robots listeners. I'm going to get some feedback on it and then maybe, just maybe, I'll ( Read more... )

I'm tired. I'm a little depressed. (Was more so earlier but now for some reason I'm feeling better and even a little hopeful.) I just ordered these three books off of Amazon. (Though I have to note that my Amazon wishlist is still 22 pages long, even though I've bought almost a dozen items that were featured on it now ( Read more... )

Well, after several weeks of hard work, I have collected roughly $800 and opened a checking account. I feel all grown up now. :) Things are going OK at work, but they've been doing some really strange things with everybody's schedules recently that have the employees very upset. I'm lucky that I don't need this job, otherwise I'd be joining them. ( Read more... )

Well, I think I've finally managed to catch up on most of the projects that got put off due to my illness. My "To Do" list is shrinking by the hour and things are starting to run smoothly again. Once I catch up with all the dishes and do a load or two of laundry all my boring mundane chores should be totally dealt with. :) I've gotten back on the ( Read more... )

Well, I didn't get as much writing done today as I hoped I would. But that's not to say I had a bad day. Actually I enjoyed myself immensely. I took the dog for a really fun walk and took a long, relaxing nap afterwards. (To make up for the fact I was awake at FIVE AM THIS MORNING, grr) This morning, even though I was up very early, I got back on ( Read more... )

I now have my own eBay and Paypal accounts! =D So if any of you want to send me money for anything...say, perhaps, as a small birthday or Christmas gift...then all you have to do is point your Paypal or other online money sending device to my email address, which is: amanda@amandacales.com! And if you're interested in my eBay account, the name of ( Read more... )

I’m baaaack. =D And I’m happy to be back. What kept me away, you ask? I became a harbinger of DEATH, DESTRUCTION, AND DEFORMITY, of course ( Read more... )
