I now have a Flickr account. It is just calling out to me to be filled. It looks so sad with no photos uploaded to it. I need to get books about photography in general and maybe the instruction book to my camera? And time. I need time to read the materials and take the pictures. I think I won’t get to the learning part until March, when a work contest ends. (I’ll be reading a lot the next few months.)
I read a book about organization, “Getting Things Done”. I like this. I feel like I have more control over projects in my life. Even if everything isn’t done, I know where I am in the process and what comes next and what needs to get done now. That helps the worrying.
I think that in order to call this done, though, I will need to worry less about what others think…and that might take awhile.

I didn’t read The Secret, but evidently it has something to do with vision boards. I will read this site later when I am inspired to make my vision board.
I am not kicking hard enough. Or, alternatively, I don’t have enough strength in my stomach muscles to just pull myself up slowly and hold myself steady. I will need to practice.
I always thought that Yiddish was just another name for Hebrew. Nope, evidently it’s a mix of German and Hebrew that eventually became its own. Huh!
Jeez. Despite popularity (in my head and in cheers count), this may have to be delayed until after I am done training for the marathon. So…like until November of next year? Maybe. Because I should spend time outside of work and outside of running doing things like cleaning my house and spending time with my husband. I love cats and want to visit them at the shelter…but I don’t think this works with the running schedule just yet. We’ll see.
Remember how I do a book in the car and one at the gym? The one I am listening to in the gym is Middlesex. It’s funny so far – I’m only 50 minutes in. Don’t ask what page that means. :)
Hurray! My Christmas gift to friends and family arrived yesterday! Eco-friendly water bottles from KleanKanteen.com. Hurray!
I’ve only just started it. Then I realized it wasn’t even on my list! I foresee this happening a lot…still finishing it.
I think this won’t happen for awhile. I will be vacationing with friends or my husband alternating each year. This year is a friend year (Italy). Earlier this year I went to South Korea and Hawaii with my husband and last year we went to Spain for our pre-wedding honeymoon. (I’m not a travel snob – I never left the country before a few years ago – I earned these trips.) In any case, I have this year’s vacation planned. My husband says that we have to go to Palestine before Israel because Palestine won’t let you in if you have an Israeli passport stamp. So, we either wait until the passport has one spot left or we go Palestine first. This will be a long wait.
I was going to buy organic (lower salt) vegetarian vegetable broth…but the other stuff was over half off, so I bought 10 cans. I will call this done when I actually BUY the organic stuff.
I cleared a bunch of stuff out of the car today. There’s some random stuff in the trunk, but not nearly as much as there used to be. There is a cover in the car, but it’s winter and that will stay with me until Spring.
Maybe after I get new tires I can get my ears re-re-re-pierced on the way home or on the way to the gym?
I have Friday morning off. R made an appointment and price agreement with the tire place and I will have new tires then!
Only 61 pages left of Getting Things Done. (Of 260.) Slowly, but surely I will get this book done. I hope that I don’t check out any non-fiction books for awhile. I just can’t seem to get through them.
I’ve heard that exercising makes people worry a bit less – it is supposed to put you in a better frame of mind. It makes me tired and sweaty. Then I have to go grocery shopping (it’s on the way home) before I can shower. So, it makes me dirty and homely looking too.
But my heart and lungs are stronger!
