Yesterday, I had a bad grand mal - the kind that leaves me wondering if, perhaps, just maybe, I *should* be wearing a helmet all the time. I may have a concussion. The back of my head feels a little pulpy. But there was no blood. I was roused from the middle of the kitchen floor by a cat complaining she hadn't been fed ( Read more... )

It's been YEARS since I attempted any graphic design. Definitely pre-Topamax*; I think the last graphic related program I worked with was Photoshop 4. Graphic design was never one of my strongest artistic skills; I wish I had someone else interested enough to do designing for the community for free ( Read more... )

Last week, I began upon a plan to cook dinner for my household and any guests, once per week, on the same day of the week. Last week's fare was an old standard and we enjoyed a guest. This week I used it as an opportunity to begin another one of my 101/1001 goals, 43) To cook one new item per month. We had stove issues, so this is the first of ( Read more... )

FYI - I still haven't smoked. I didn't let my emotional distress of the week-end be used as an excuse to fail ( Read more... )

I managed to eat, and thoroughly enjoy, all these foods without any dairy. Tasty! I ate until I was bursting. And am eating left ( Read more... )

I've just returned from the acupuncturist: I'm to refrain from "calcium" related foods for the next 25 hours. No cheese. *sniff* This was determined prior to her knowledge of my recent lab tests ( Read more... )

I've quite a few projects for my next three years that involve photographs and I'm discovering a few desires as I go along. Do you know where I find one-stop image storing - need remote hosting (to eBay, LJ, or forums), need sharing (to others without passwords, accounts, or spam), affordable (free or low-cost) and need printing (into snapshots, ( Read more... )

I finally made my end-of-the-month update of my "101 goals in 1001 days" progress to the mission101_2009 community. I'm delighted to find I'm on track - averaging about three goal completions a month. Included in that post was a little confession.

Last night, Liz and I ( watched )

I really need a gallon of black semi-gloss. I've about 20 things that need to be painted. Today, I brought home this...
