For some reason, I've not been in the mood for quite awhile to write an lj post. There's alot going on in life these days...October was a busy month. So since I am a lazy git today, and I have had alot going on, I am just going to do a list! A totally random list.
1. Nano starts soon. I am cparagraphs on Nano--feel free to add me. I have my historical fantasy listed as my fic, but I am working on ballet boy. Yup, already started it, have 40k of it done, but that's too bad. I'm all into it again, happily plugging away. Spent 5 hours at B&N yesterday working on the synopsis. I don't have to have one for Loose-Id, but it is helping me make sense of all the crazy writing I did at the beginning of the year on this. I want this puppy done, so I can move on to other things in 2010. So no one tell on me, okay? LOL.
2. Nano write-ins. I am going to be hitting B&N after work every day, and first thing on Saturdays. Yes, this is insane, of course it is. I doubt seriously my hands and forearms will like this plan, and I am bound to skip days, but will do my best. So far, there are at least two writers in the area who have websites that make me nod--okay, good, not religious epic writers. Good. I am serious--they abound in this area. I want to avoid them.
3. I put my Loose-Id info on my Nano author info. Figure people can check that and if they are horrified I write m/m fiction, then that will head them off at the pass.
4. My husky boy is not amused that I am feeding him a high quality dog food, Taste of the Wild. He is spoiled rotten--he has tried to hold out to force me to feed him raw food. I'm not budging. I am tired of playing chef to the dogs. I love them, but they need to get healthy and this dogfood is one of the best. The girls like it just fine, and I've already seen the increase in energy in Shelby. This morning--ZOOMIES! They ran and ran for what seemed like hours. Cracked me up.
5. I love the BBC show You Are what You Eat. It is stunning the transformations Jillian, the nutritionist, instigates with the Brits who agree to have her help them. What is really stunning to me though is the junk these people eat...so far, no banofee pies though! I'm waiting! One of the trainers from Biggest Loser is going to do a show similar here. Good!
6. Work this last week was a real pain. Our Silent Admin got a verbal (lol) warning about her behavior. She cried all day Thursday after that. Will she change? I have no idea, but she tried, and failed, to throw Kevin under the bus. It tossed back and smacked her hard.
7. Work cont'd. For months, years (it feels like) I've been the person scanning deed files for the guys in Topeka. This is time-consuming, boring, but with my podcasts, its bearable. Plus its been good for the billing since we have to bill for everything we do. Well, last week, they disappeared. This freaked me out at first as I depended on those for 2-3 hours of work every day, but it looks like it will be a good thing.
For several months, I've been wanting to start learning GIS. The boss knew this, Allan our head of GIS knew this, but week after week passed and... Well. I was talking to Allan when the deeds disappeared, and told him I NEED SOMETHING TO DO OH MY GOSH! He got all excited, and said OH BOY! I've been needing help! At that point I wanted to kick him. He's a friend so I likely could get away with it. Turns out he thought I was 'too busy' (SCANNING DEEDS? HELLO?) to be of help to his group, which I am not a part of. So all last week I helped with a GIS project, which was great fun.
So tomorrow, FINALLY, ArcGIS will be on my computer. FINALLY I will start to train on the program, and how we use it for the railroad. Allan's all excited as he's needed help for a long time--I pretty much wanted to scream (and did inside my head). GEESH MAN!!! I love him to death, but he does not THINK sometimes! So YAY! Rock on! FINALLY!!!! It'll be a huge learning curve but I am absurdly happy about this.
8. Treadmill and Couch to 5k. Okay had setbacks there due to stupidly running with the dogs and inflaming my sciatic nerve again, and then the camera project wiped me out, so fell off the track. And promptly gained two lbs! NOT COOL! Well now I am back on track, back to my weight, and loving that treadmill beyond reason. Amazing how just doing interval running every other day makes such a difference in how I feel and re: my weight. Love it.
9. I am seriously addicted to stuffed jalapeno poppers. Jalapenos cleaned out, cream cheese, thin slice of cheddar, wrapped in sugar-free bacon, baked in 425 oven for 45 minutes--OH YEAH BABY!
10. Today has been too quiet.

Date: 2009-10-26 12:38 am (UTC)Yeah it is. I have all teh good food here but making him eat it is another story somehow. Sigh.

Date: 2009-10-26 12:46 am (UTC)Me, my mam and my sister all need to lose weight. We told my mam not to buy any rubbish (sweets, fizzy drinks etc) and she said that's not fair on my brother. I've been off chocolate for about three months now (it's either all or nothing with me) but I definitely need to cut back on other stuff too. I hate how limited my choice in clothes is right now.

Date: 2009-10-26 12:49 am (UTC)See, I don't like jalapenos b/c they're spicy. But, say, red peppers w/ cheese and breadcrumbs? Those sound yummy. Or, oooh, yellow peppers! Yummers!

Date: 2009-10-26 12:53 am (UTC)And I can't possibly speculate on the last part...
(no subject)
Date: 2009-10-26 12:56 am (UTC)I like spicy a lot a lot. But I bet red peopers would be nice too, if you rolled them in chilli sauce.

Date: 2009-10-26 01:14 am (UTC)Jalapanos, if you cook them a long time, aren't spicy at all. That's why these cook so long. 45-50 minutes takes the pain away--long as you get the seeds out.
Faggots? Cig stubs? LOL.
(no subject)
Date: 2009-10-26 01:16 am (UTC)I would come for your sauce and peppers, Blue!

Date: 2009-10-26 01:17 am (UTC)He says that faggots are meaty dumplings! And that's what I had! I went o_O though at first, too!
