Ok, I'm proud to say that I have actually been fairly productive so far today and it's not even noon yet!!
I have a large portion of the cleaning done from my list, laundry is nearly caught up, all I really have left to do is working on my laptop. I'm about to get to that right now.
Maybe making myself post on here (even though no one is going to read this drivel) will force me to follow through with what I need to do with my life. That's the dream anyway!

A to-do list
Ok, so tomorrow I have a lot of stuff to get done. I need to try to re-install windows on my laptop. It will be much easier to write on it if it has an OS to write ON. Sadly, it wasn't big enough for Ubuntu. Not for the version that I fell in love with anyway.
I need to make a ton of food, work on my book more and do general housekeeping stuff. Thankfully, I have all day tomorrow to do this stuff. It's also patch day, so WoW will be down for a bit of it (I hope).
Off for now!

Staring into the abyss
I have so many things that I want/need to do with my life. I need to find a way to make money from writing, I need to find a better job until then, I need to lose weight and get back into shape. I want to complete the Loremaster achievement and I want to find a place that I truly feel at home.
In the past few years I have lived in a few states. I have lived on the east coast, on the west coast, and in the mid west. I believe that it's time to return to the mid west at this point. I grew up there and I find myself longing for people who can be kind, but also impatient. I miss crazy weather that may not include hurricanes but does include tornadoes. I miss a "normal" growing season (normal only to me because it's from the area I was raised in). I miss the food (no matter where I live, I find good food, but nothing will replace the memories I have associated with different places between the mountains.) I miss having all four seasons and living in deciduous tree. I miss the flat lands you can easily jog on.
Now, I have learned a lot from moving around, and one of those things I learned is that I do love that area of our country. That is my biggest lesson. I miss it more each day.
As I work on my book (set in the mid west, the area I'm in has been done to death with books set here) I miss home more and do my best to find a way to go back there. I continue looking for a good job (even if it does end up only being for a few months to a year). The end goal for 2011 though, to have one book fully written, edited, and looking for a publisher, if not published. Also, to live in the mid west again. Final goal, on a somewhat shorter time-frame, is to complete the Loremaster achievement in World of Warcraft before the expansion pack comes out. I don't know why I started on that achievement track, but now I want to finish it.
I'm off to get a start on something, even if that is only a nap. It's a lazy Sunday, why not? I'll work more on my book in a little while.
