Latest Ramblings

So I finished one baby blanket for a co-worker, and started the second one. Going well. Hope to be done soon.

Need to crochet the baby blanket for a friend as they are inducing her tomorrow.

I'm obsessed with Torchwood and John Barrowman. The man has a fantastic voice. I'm sitting here listening at work. Must resist the urge to sing along :o)

It's baseball season :o) Go Phillies.

Goals Update:

1. Complete Script Frenzy
1a. Gather Idea for SF and plan ahead
-Writing a Spec for Torchwood, haven’t started though it’s the third day of April. Too much other stuff to sit around and write.
2. Start playing the Flute again
2a. If I get good at the flute again, join the Montgomery County Band
-Played once or twice, not anything significant
3. Read the Pile of magazines that has accumulated in my apartment
-baby steps there. I always seem to get more magazines though so the pile never really dwindles.
4. Read the pile of books that magically keeps getting bigger and bigger
-same with the books but they are now neatly on my bookshelf.
5. Finish the crocheting projects I have started. (1 blanket for my friend who is pregnant, and 2 blankets for a co-workers wife who is having twins)
-finished one baby blanket for one of the twins started the second. Need to start Ambers
6. Travel to a place I have never been before
-like that will ever happen this year.
7. Finish writing my NaNo 2007 Novel "Out with a Bang"
-possibly if I get inspired to do so.
8. Plan for NaNo 2008 by having some ideas and outlining them, outline in detail, and come up with characters and some backstory before Nov. 1
-Have an idea maybe need to think about that after SF ends
9. Become better at my job by getting more work done and getting more work done
-Improvement always happens.
10. Look into some kind of continuing education class or a class I can take for fun. I miss learning a lot and I never want to stop.
-hasn’t happened yet, but I’m reading and that is a good start.
11. Find clothes that fit me, and if need be spend the money on clothes
11a. Accept my body for what it is. Be glad I have curves. Accept that I am short though I did grow last year.
-I can find tops, pants forget it. I’ve got a muffin top and it sucks. I accept I am short and don’t look my age.
12. Start exercising, I have Comcast and On Demand use the exercise TV to it's advantage. In the summer I will walk around my complex again.
12a. Sign up for a 5k later in the summer if there is one near me and walk it, and see how I do.
-yeah haven’t done that. Right now my living room is too messy to do any exercising.
13. Pay off my credit cards so I can do 6, though, I think I'll be doing 6 before they are paid off.
-Paid off the credit cards, won’t travelling anytime soon. It sucks. God damn economy.
14. Keep my apartment CLEAN
-Started it :) Slow progress but I can see my bedroom floor. Living room is a whole different story.
15. Make sure I can walk into my closet and not have to worry about what the hell I am stepping on.
-yeah not worried about this want the apartment clean first.
16. Take full advantage of my Six Flags Great Adventure Season Pass, and possibly get the parking thing as well, cause $15 a pop for parking will be more than the season pass after 4 trips.
-treating my self to opening weekend if I clean.
17. Attempt to keep in contact with friends
-going OK, it’s a two way street though.
18. Write for Helium.com
-have a knoebels title started.
19. Make sure I donate more canned goods to the 6abc/Boy Scouts food drive in the fall
20. Maybe start learning Spanish again?
-instead I buy myself a book on Latin, go figure, way to be dorky.
21. Try not to get sick
so far so good, but the right side of my throat where that tonsil used to be is starting to produce the mucus and act like a tonsil (apparently there is some tonsil tissue that wasn’t completely removed.)
22. Use the apartment complex's swimming pool in the summer
-possibly since they are digging up things at the pool now who knows if it will be open.
23. Scrapbook my New Orleans trip from 2005, when I volunteered there
-hopefully will get to that.
24. Upload and back up pictures to CD and put my pics on MySpace/Webshots.
-Work in progress
25. Write more in general, fun, journal entries. I am doing NaNoWriYe (National Novel Writing Year). This gives me reason and motivation to write every day.
-Started to write one piece of Fan Fiction. I know a shock, but hey it’s writing. I can’t complain.



Getting back to work now.
