Okay, so G was not keen to writing a 7 things blog today. That’s okay, though, because I do have some good news of my own to share. I have finally finished my first rough draft!! After a year of working on stories and never actually finishing them before moving on to something else, I have actually finished something. I worked through all of my self-doubts and I ignored that little voice that said, “This isn’t very good. You should work on something else.” I know I am going to have to work hard in the next few days to…

Tonya tagged me, so I think I’m supposed to figure out 7 “funky” facts about me. That shouldn’t be hard to do, as long as funky also can mean weird. 🙂 I am addicted to office supplies. Post-its, colorful papers, notebooks, and especially pens. I have so many pens that my fiance made me go through them and put some away in a box. They were taking over my desk. I have been slowly bringing some out of the box, though, and am now back up to 4 full containers of pens on my desk. What can I say? I…

My sister talked me into watching the premiere of “The Biggest Loser” last night. In the past, I have only seen portions of a couple of episodes, but last night I stayed glued to the tv for 2 hours. I felt sort of stupid, because I was already crying a little bit in the first 15 minutes of the show. Am I a dork or what? Seeing these people who are overweight and just want to lose weight so bad, but have been unable to really make big changes in their life on their own was very moving. I have…

My love has especially requested seven layer dip for lunch today, so that is what I will be doing this morning. Not that it will take me all morning, but that is my first priority this morning. I don’t think there are actually seven layers, but basically, it’s just a big bowl of refried beans, cheese, sour cream, lettuce, tomatoes, and salsa. It’s good, though. Which is why he has been thinking about it, haha. We made a special trip to the grocery store last night just to get the ingredients. Oh, and we got the really good chips on…

I promised myself that I would get off of my lazy ass and go to Jazzercise three times a week, no exceptions. Monday, Wednesday and Friday. So far, over the past two weeks, I have stayed true to that promise, and it has paid off. I have definitely felt more energy and had some positive changes in my body already. In a way, I think I am writing this to sort of physch myself up for going today. It’s Friday. There are no acceptable excuses for not going. I realize this. But I don’t want to go. The period has…

Isn’t it funny how this used to be just another day to all of us? A day of no real consequence unless it happened to be your birthday or something like that. Now, it’s a day that haunts everyone in this country, and perhaps even around the world. It’s a reminder that even the toughest, most untouchable countries are vulnerable to terror. It’s almost hard to believe that was 7 years ago. There are other things on my mind today too. The rain, for example. We have gotten so much rain lately, and today is no exception. It’s cold as…
