4/4/2006 Hoping for Spring/Reading/Writing/ParentingI am hoping for Spring to really pop open soon; I am in need of the sunshine and a chance to be outside without a coat so I can soak it up! It just can't get warm enough, not real warmth, until the warmth is the warmth of the sun on my skin. Sure, it's hot and dry at the office, but that really isn't the same at all. Heat that comes with light is much better. At least I think so!
 My eyes hurt this morning from crying last night. ICK. Time to break out the Visine. Oh well. I'll survive!
I am really enjoying The Wedding so far. The characters in Nicholas Sparks' novels are just so believable and real. I wish I could write half so well. When I try to write a story - anything in which two characters have to interact - I struggle to make it seem real, and I always fail. I think I think too much. This tends to be my problem in life and probably in my writing as well. When I was younger and when I first starting writing for the pure joy of writing, I think I was better at letting the words just spill forth and usually, they were smoother and more uncomplicated than they are now. Now, I start to write, look at what I've written, and erase (or delete) and start over. Not the most productive thing. Anywho.
Before I leave for work... I have for a couple of years been trying to get something started at my church, some sort of single parenting support group, without any success. If anyone knows whether there is anything out there like that, something for single parents specifically, please give me a heads-up. I'd like to try and talk to someone who's been involved in or is involved in a group like this. I think if I can go to my Pastor and the Deacons with a more specific plan for what I want to try, maybe I'll have more success. Plans don't come so easily to me... I need some help!!
Have a great day everyone.
 3/19/2006 tiredIt's cold. so cold. and i wanted to really write something this evening but my house is depressing me (i need to stay home all day tomorrow and bleach the whole house and maybe burn a few things but alas i cannot because as usual i have plans). i hate plans. and i guess it isn't tonight but tomorrow now. blech.
i ah yes i am finally tired and ready for bed. sleeping on the floor lateley. don't really have a good reason, except that i have a theory that because i feel like i'm getting old, if i sleep on the floor and have to get up from the floor every morning (when mornings are the, you know, creakiest time of day for moi body), it will keep me young. hope it works!
[i deleted what i had written here because it wasn't very authentic to who i am, just was something i thought once and realized was pretty crude...]
now i'm just babbling. need... sleep... 3/14/2006 Windmood:
