There is a woman I aspire to be. Not the theoretical woman I can maybe be, but an actual woman who I look up to, quietly. Tonight, I went back and read some of her old LJ entries, from 8, 9 years ago, when she was 24 and 25 - my age. Just to see who she was then ( Read more... )

So, yeah, I fail at updating this blog. Er. Sorry ( Read more... )

Okay, so ( Read more... )

So.

Yesterday (meaning Thursday, since it's only 2am), we decided to do laundry. Well, I decided to do laundry, and Aubrey (to my everlasting gratefulness after the fact) decided to come with me. Now, the reason this was a big deal was that we had to take a probably 30-odd minute hike down the hill to GET to the laundromat, with a heavy bag of ( Read more... )

So, this little announcement is going to probably surprise those of you who know about my relationship with school (namely, that I really don't like it), but ( Read more... )

The placeholders I've left now, I think I'm going to leave for rewrites. I'm going to go through, cut a lot of the "padding", fix ( Read more... )

Supper was wonderful. :D We haven't eaten the pie yet, that's for AFTER the food coma. Chicken Piccata, sweet potato casserole, and mashed potatoes. It was all... more perfect than I could've hoped for. The kitchen's sort of a mess, but not as bad as I'd expected, and Aubrey loved the food, and... I'm happy. I don't know if it's the nummy food ( Read more... )

• The NaNo is coming... oddly. I'm not doing so bad as I'd hoped, but I'm starting to think I'll need to either tack on an extraneous plot at the end or start the next one just to make my quota. My story's almost done, but I'm only halfway to winning NaNo at MOST.
