Feeling a little ironic...

Here I am. I'm just getting settled in here at my new blog home, I've gotten back in touch with a reader who I had lost along the way, and I'm ready to switch to a new address.

Don't worry. There's a good reason!

The real reason: I wanted to use wordpress. I missed it, and the new version is a lot of fun.

The publishable reason: Hell, I can't even think of a more impressive reason. This is not to say that my "real" reason is impressive, because it is not. Alright enough is enough, here is the link to my new blog.

The time is now 1:45 AM. The new blog will be up and running in about an hour.

Thanks for keeping up with me!

I've quit smoking, for good!

Hi Everyone!

Today is Day 3 since my last cigarette. I have written about this in more detail at my quit smoking blog, which can be found here.

WOO HOO!

I feel great.

4 months to go!

The wedding is now 4 months away and this revelation came as a bit of a shock to me. I have sort of put the wedding on the back burner for a bit, and haven't done any planning in quite some time.
Today, I took out a pen and paper and wrote down all the things that needed to be done, either this month or relatively soon. It was utterly shocking.

I know I can get it all done, but looking at it all is intimidating.

ARGH!

Blogger beta is being ...I cannot think of a "B" word for "Wonky".

I tried to post my SomaFM post like 10 times, and it wouldn't let me. Then, I happen to check my blog and it *had* posted 2 of those times I tried. SO, I then try to delete the excess posts, and at first, it tells me it can't do that. GRR.

Thankfully all has been solved.

Grr.

SomaFM

For those who don't already listen to it, do yourself a favor and stop on by SomaFM You will find several commercial free, excellent quality internet radio stations. Mostly electronica (Though they are adding more "variety" in the areas of indie pop and a station called "boot liquor" which is "Americana roots music for Cowhands, Cowpokes and Cowtippers." It shall be noted that I will be staying very far away from that last one. ;)

I'm partial to Tag's Trance Trip, Secret Agent, and Space Station Soma. Secret Agent is just plain fun!

Your ears will be happy, trust me.

Renewed Motivation and changes in plans...

I am behind in my classes. VERY BEHIND. I don't remember exactly how it all happened, but at some point, a few weeks ago, I fell *slightly* behind, and that *slightly* has snowballed into tremendously behind. *sigh* I have this mixed ball of emotions: guilt, sadness, embarassment, fear, anxiety, panic. All these emotions have made me very avoidant of anything remotely related to school. Why? I HAVE NO IDEA! *sigh*

All is not lost. I spoke to some people at my school, and they're going to give me a freebie one week extension for each of my classes. If that's not enough, I can ask for an incomplete, and then I will have 6 weeks to finish my work. They are very supportive and very willing to help out. This is a huge relief.

As for the changes in plans, I am changing majors to boring old business administration (with a focus on project management) Why? My dear E. and I are planning on going into business together. It would be very helpful if at least one of us knew something about how to run a business. ;) That *and* the program I really want to switch to (web development) isn't offered online (and the closest campus is in Greenville, SC).

So, if I can make it through the next few weeks and get my work done, I can then breathe a huge sigh of relief. Wish me luck!

Hop on over to my other blog for a minute

I wrote a post on my other blog that I thought you might enjoy.

Clickety clickety click! (You know you wanna...)

It's NaNoWriMo!

Today is November first and that means it is now National Novel Writing Month! Hooray! I haven't gotten any writing done yet, but in a few minutes (probably closer to an hour...) I will sit down and get some writing in. I need to write a little under 1,700 words every day this month to stay on track...but of course, anything over that mark is a blessing as it allows me to slack at a later date. :)

Not much has changed since I last updated...except I'm pretty behind in my classes, which means if I don't change that soon, I won't be able to do NaNoWriMo. *sigh*

Will update more soon.
