Just Friends

I hate my elliptical. Well, maybe not hate. I just don't like it right now. I walked all over Lynnwood today in addition to my workout this morning. So, I think I earned the chocolate fudge covered pretzels. OK, so they are not the best choice for a snack. They were good though.

My friend Michelle stopped by today. I haven't seen her since October, I think. Her daughter is having a birthday party on Sunday. She wanted to invite my daughter. I was happy to see my friend and than she dropped the fact that she is moving out of state. I can't remember where she said, I was shocked to see her. I am going to ask when I see her if she still has my 12 Reasons Why I Love Her book by Jamie Rich. I bought a new one so I don't really need it back. It's just... I want it back.

Anyway, I need to get to my writing so I can get to sleep sometime soon. I need to drive my hubby to work so I can have the van. It is currently 11:30pm. And he leaves for work at 6am.

Goodnight

Sundays kill me sometimes. We started at a new earlier time at church. I was completely messed up. Add to that a friend coming over after church and a Cub Scout Committee meeting and my Sunday sucks.


My friend Heather read my little blue journal. It has a ton of random thoughts and story parts in it. She liked what she read and wants to see more of my writing. We where misbehaving in Sunday school.

Anyway, I am planning to get some more writing done tonight. Other than that, I am tired.

Why Do Today What You Can Put Off Until Tomorrow?

I am completely exhausted. It is my own fault though, I decided to take the kids to the Seattle Aquarium. We took the bus down which is a bit of an adventure with three kids and a stroller. I am nice though. I take the small umbrella stroller that folds up really small when I use the bus. See I do think of others. Then we had to walk from Pikes Place Market down to the Aquarium. It isn't far, just a hassle with all the stuff we need to take with us. We all had a great time looking at all the pretty fish. The bus ride back was hell. I completely forgot about the Seahawks game today. The bus was overfull. Try standing on the step with a two year old that is trying and succeeding to wander around the bus. It is not fun.


The faimly then decided we needed to go to Best Buy. I bought a couple of cds and 2 SingStar games. We now have all four. I have really started to love these games. We then went to the comic store. I really didn't need to go but I got a short box to try to orginaze the stuff I have gotten recently.


Next was a trip to Fred Meyer. And finally I made it home. I just want to go to bed. It won't happen. I still need to write some today.

Hold On

It's Friday. But I can not decide if I'm happy or pissed. The weekend is here and that is a good thing, but I'm not ready for all the stuff I have to try to fit in this weekend. I am trying to get all caught up on housework so I can go have fun. But it is not going well. I still need to get some writing done tonight and I am hoping to get at least 10 pages done. We will see what happens.

I would like to do something different on Fridays here on the blog. I just don't know what to do. So I am asking for suggestions. All will be looked at. Many will be laughed at. So help me out OK.

I was looking for a photo and found this one instead. It is a picture of Mt. Rainer. I took it at a McDonald's parking lot just south of Tacoma. I think. Tony will have to remind me. Anyway, we were on our way to the Portland Comic Show(Nov 07). Tony wanted a picture so I took one. It was my desktop for a while.

Sweet talk

I have been busy running around all day today. But, I did manage to get some writing done too. My lists are working. I went to the comic store to get Glister #3 by Andi Watson. I have really enjoyed everything of his that I have read thus far, so I am sure this is great as well. I also took Brian's advice and picked up all three issues of Brawl by Dean Haspiel and Michel Fiffe. As I have said before Brian seems to be dead on when he suggests stuff for me to read. So as I flipped though the 3rd issue and noticed that a majority of the pages had a woman naked on them I decided I needed to investigate a little further. As I actually read a few pages I laughed quite a bit. I had to get them. It scares me sometimes that Brian knows me so well. We only see each other when I stop in at the store or at the different comic shows. I have yet to decide if this is a good thing or a bad one.

As I said I was able to get some writing done today. Thank god gymnastics is back. I get a good hour and a half of writing time. I was able to get a lot done. That makes a very happy Mary. I hope to keep up with the pace I have had for the past few days. I have finally made writing a priority in my life. Lets all keep our fingers crossed that I can keep this up.

Whaddaya Know

I was actually able to get some writing done yesterday. I had to stay up till one in the morning but hey. Who needs to sleep anyway? I have a plan. Yes, it is OK to be scared. I am going to try and write every night after I get the kids to sleep. This may mean that I will never get to bed before midnight. Again I ask, who needs to sleep anyway?

I am having a lot of fun with the story I am working on. Which is a little weird considering the story is depressing. I guess it just proves that I am a very strange person. I have already written the beginning and the ending. So now I just need to fill in the rest. Easy. I hope.

One Lazy Morning

Happy New Year to all.

I have a lot of things planned for this new year. I just need to figure out what to get done first. So of course I have been making lists and schedules for each day. I have always been able to come up with great plans for what I need to do. Its the following of said plan that gets me every time. So this year I have much simpler plans. I'll keep you updated.

No writing has been done as of late. I have had a lot of family stuff happening and sacrifices had to be made.

Current Mood: ready to get things done
