HISTORICAL TRIVIA (Email from my dad)
Did you know the saying “God willing and the Creek don’t rise” was in reference to the Creek Indians and not a body of water? It was written by Benjamin Hawkins in the late 18th century. He was a politician and Indian diplomat. While in the south, Hawkins was requested by the President of the U.S. to return to Washington. In his response, he was said to write, “God...

Oh, NaNo, why are you haunting me? I’m tired and there’s a book that’s calling to me, danggit!

Making Jiffy blueberry muffins like I did as a kid is a good response to being mopey, right?

Clean!
Have you ever cleaned your room so spectacularly that it takes you a couple days to used to all the new space and being able to see the floor?
Well, I did that today. To the whole house.
My legs hurt.
Also, I made yummy quesadilla in the frying pan with butter to toast the tortilla. The filling was chicken with taco seasoning on it and taco cheese. I put salsa on top. My husband stole a...

Four hours of cleaning up dry wall, bagging it, tearing more off the walls, cleaning it up again, bagging it again = tired me. We helped gut a house with our church small group. We’ll probably be going to help again soon.
I still have 2,900 words to write to catch up on NaNo. I’ll have all night tomorrow since my husband has D&D. There’s a write in later that we’re...

ESTJ
This is my MBTI type and what the overall blurb is:
“ESTJs are natural administrators. They move quickly to implement decisions, organize projects and people to achieve their goals, and are forceful in implementing their plans. They focus on results and the bottom line. They have a clear set of logical standards they systematically follow and want others to follow also. They value home,...

Good deed for the day
Apparently my good deed for the day was finding a typo on the orientation cards that we were to give out to students. They fixed the typo, reprinted them and put them in our hands two hours later.
I am amused. ^^

MBTI →
I had a webinar at my work on the Strong Interest Inventory and the MBTI. The MBTI was the most interesting to me. I don’t agree that the webinar facilitator has the MBTI as “genetically who you are” because the MBTI can be faked.
This link was helpful for me though because just at a glance you can look and see what types you are.
Compare Extroversion with Introversion -...

Later
The tears came later. I used my “driving while crying powers” again. Second day in a row. Awesome. -_-
My new challenge is to focus on the postives in my life while still caring about the things I’m worried about. I can’t seem to do both. Either I’m all happy and positive or I’m all worried and negative. How does one care about those that are suffering...

Lack of food + anxiety = anxiety attack?
Well, almost. I was already shaky due to lack of food and I was really set on having a grilled cheese for lunch. Plus, we don’t have taco cheese so no quesadillas either. This meant grocery shopping, which I was already planning on doing.
Apparently, trying to plan grocery shopping while shaking due to lack of food means there will be tears. I caught it before any spilled but it was...

I did things out of order today. Normally I get everything done that needs to be done (laundry, dishes, clean the house, grocery shopping) before I get on the interweb and relax. Today was a mish mash of everything. It feels so off. I’ve already done all my interweb stuff so after I go grocery shopping what will I do with the time I have leftover?
I do have NaNo to catch up on..

What is it that makes my stomach flip over, my body go tingly with fear and my brain scream “Danger!” when one of my friends is upset?
Probably fear itself. What if I don’t say the right thing to try and make them feel better? What if my cheeriness, or lack there of since I’m usually not really cheery, makes things worse instead of better?

Ha Ha! I ended my word count today at 23,456.
I are amused. ^^

I’m caught up on NaNo for the first time this month! Yay!
Hopefully I can get more words in later tonight so that I won’t fall behind again. So many of my friends are waaay ahead of me!

Not caring about fitting in does not mean I don’t care about those who I want to fit in with. Realization #1
To show I care apparently I freak out and get really upset to show that I care. Otherwise all you have are words. Words in my book don’t mean much because not very many people kept their word to me growing up. I’ve been told by my husband that words are good enough...

I’m recording my weight and what I eat on livestrong.com again. There’s a healthy wellness thing going on at work through February. I’ve gained a couple pounds since I started working a real job that prevents me from working out for an hour on the weekdays.
I know, I’m weird.

I neglected to try and rearrange our schedule on Sunday so now we can’t go to the writeathon in Birch Run. I figured someone would mention it if they really wanted to go. I didn’t realize that if I didn’t put it together then it wouldn’t happen. I guess I missed that memo.
My failure = sad people.
Great.

I’m tired. I haven’t had a chance to relax at all this week. I still have to catch up on NaNo. I just want to chill but NaNo will always be on my to do list until I catch up. I’m like 6,000 words behind.
Today will be my only chance to relax. Tomorrow is game night but I have to be on good behavior since I’ll be around other people so there won’t be any relaxing...

I put too much spice into my soup yesterday. Now I have to deal with it for two weeks.
Ah well, now I know.

My Pokewalker has the low battery symbol flashing. I turned the shading all the way down so everything is darker now. That seemed to help but it didn’t stop me from purchasing 5 batteries for $2.99 and free shipping.
It doesn’t hurt to be prepared, right? ^^

Village and Explorer are a good combination.

Really you need to stop everything and read this. I needed to.
We’re gonna be ok, y’all.
A fantastic rage comic memoir, really.
This is great!

NaNoIncentive
For every 1,000 words I type I will be allowed to watch a Duggar episode.
My husband wants me to catch up to where he is. I’m at 5,220 words. He’s at 8,400-ish words. That’ll take me a couple hours and then I will be able to watch an hour of Duggars.
Yay incentive!

Be a friend
Apparently that’s the solution to all my problems. Instead of worrying that I’m going to lose a friend I need to just, simply, be one.
It’s always the simple realizations that pack the most punch.

NaNoPie
So, I got home from work today with my friend Katy, as is custom on Tuesday nights, and my husband says that for dinner we are going to have NaNoPie. NaNoWriMo began today and we wanted to celebrate. Here is what NaNoPie is:
Order a pizza or two with a topping that either your main character will like or that matching his/her personality.
In my case, I have two main characters: a cat and a...

If you look up a route on bulbapedia to see what Pokemon you can get at how ever many steps, if you put the mouse over the number of steps it’ll tell you how many steps you need if you have an adventageous type in your Pokewalker.
I’m currently in the Big Forest trying to catch a Bonsly.

My drive home yesterday
This was my drive home last night:
My rant/prayer: ;_; I don’t belong anywhere. I like to read and write random things. Who doesn’t? What is my purpose? What am I supposed to do? What should I be motivated to do if my interests don’t determine whether my friends stay or go? ;_;
God: Make more and better believers.
Me: Oh. Oh yeah. Okay. *freak out over*
