Yeah.  So much for pride.  Just sayin’.  It’s amazing how humiliating pride and it’s fickleness can be.  I mean, I’ve been in the throes of editing and writing for the past few weeks, struggling a little with my asthma, but for the most part, I’ve been too lazy to write down what I’ve been doing.  [

Pride~

It does a house and a body good. We’re not going to talk about the fact that it’s been almost another month.  Furthermore, we’re not going to talk about the fact that I’ve not dropped an ounce in that month.  We are going to talk about pride. It just occurred to me that if I [...]

Monday December 14, 2009 So, where have I been for all of the past couple of months?  Have I been working out and keeping my house clean?  Nope.  I have not. Have I given up?  Nope. You see, November is NaNoWriMo month.  That has an official sounding title (National Novel Writing Month) but what it

Thursday October 1, 2009

I have a new friend.  His name is Sir Weighty.  Whilst I’ve known him for a very long time (I heard once that he was there at my birth), I’ve never been particularly close to him.  I’m getting close now!  Oh boy am I!  I fully expected him to taunt me with the mockery that [...]

Wednesday September 30, 2009

Let me set the scene.  It is September 30, 1999 (ok, so the date is approximate—within say… ohhh… 90 days or so).  I am pregnant with my ninth child.  As my waistline expands in anticipation of birth in March, so grows the number on the scale.  I remember the day (if not the date) well [...]

Tuesday September 29, 2009

Today was hard to do any housework.  The husband was home, the children were playing (and making messes so why clean, right?), and I was doing my part to help other struggling authors to the editor’s desk on Authonomy. However, before I went to bed, I spent half an hour doing work in the bathroom.

Hint:  If you threaten to work hard to lose weight, Sir Weighty gets scared.  I think he thinks he makes his money by keeping me as huge as possible or something.  I get up this morning and my weight is back to 221.6.  It’s a conspiracy. When planning my work for today, I forgot that [...]

Sunday September 27, 2009

Sunday September 27, 2009 I tried an experiment this week.  I thought perhaps I’d get more done if I spent more time cleaning and less time writing.  It occurred to me that I should try a weekly summary of my progress rather than daily drivel about how much of this and how little of that.  [...]

Hurry up and wait…

Can I just say how much I hate the ‘hurry up and wait’ game?  I know, I know, it happens.  You wait in line for just about anything anymore.  Well…except making a phone call.  Cell phones have made everything so instant access that you don’t have to wait in line for a phone call.  Everything [...]
