I have a new web site. I will get to updating stuff on it, if not today, then once vacation starts.

I have a new fridge and gas range and they’re so pretty!

I have a new phone (DROID) that I adore.

I have finished chapter 12. Sometime this week I will start writing chapter 13. I’ll be in MN, and I will find the time. Yes. Who knows? Possibly even finish it, if I don’t have too many social obligations.

Super!secret Christmas project is almost complete. Will post, uhm, later.

I went looking back at last year. I didn’t write most of this month. I didn’t write most of December last year either. I’m wondering if this is just something I should accept and plan for (not much writing in December) and thereby reduce my stress levels, or if I should push and try to do more writing in December. On the one hand, while I continue with this day job (and I see no reason why I’d leave, like, EVER) I will *always* have big deadlines in December. It’s one of the three crunch months I have every year. On the other hand, I won’t always have the super!secret Christmas project, so I should have more time. Then again, I will probably always have some kind of Christmas project. . .

One of the very interesting things I learned about myself this month: I give myself a gold star for the day if I eat veggies, walk, and write. Because I wasn’t writing, and there was no way for me to earn a gold star, I stopped doing the other things as well. Or at least, not as consistently. I will need to plan for that as well.
