The first thing I want to point out is that I recently changed my layout, and it automatically capitalizes every word in my titles, and that bugs me a little bit. Glad I got that off my chest. As most of you already know, last night saw the last day of the calendar year thatContinue reading “Obligatory 2012 in review post”

A day off (revised)
I had what I thought was a witty post written about my largely uneventful day today. But I decided not to post it. While I will be the first one to tell you that I like to be the center of attention, I realized, toward the end of the original post, that I am actuallyContinue reading “A day off (revised)”
Limbo. Or “how TFA continues to screw with me”
I still hadn’t heard from GVSU by today, and while I wasn’t entirely surprised, I was concerned that perhaps there was some difficulty with transcripts. Sure enough, for some unknown reason, I went against my gut and had listed my time at Delta State on my application. I thought I had deleted it before submittingContinue reading “Limbo.

Originally posted on Notes from the Grillo Pad:
Gandalf was our cat, our four-legged man’s man, a hunter whose primary prey was the leaf. You’d hear him trumpeting as he moved unhurried through the woods or down the street, or you’d hear him right outside one of the doors, and there he’d be, with a…
A little bit about perspective
If desire alone were not enough to lead me to a new degree, then all of the signs would do the trick. In addition to the divine intervention on Saturday, I had even more pieces fall into place today. Namely the director of admissions of the engineering department and I spoke today, and we decidedContinue reading “A little bit about perspective”
Divine intervention
Eric has said many times that it seems things just happen in my life. This can be good or bad, but regardless, I always seem to fall into things. And if I think about it, I can see that trend myself. After college, I left my job at a candy store to pursue a “real”Continue reading “Divine intervention”
50K
I reached 50,000 words today! And my story is not over – not even close. I will keep working on it throughout November, but I have officially “won” NaNoWriMo. Okay, not officially because I have to get it verified on the 25th, but what a freeing sensation! I had today off, which is what allowedContinue reading “50K”
A few days in the life
I decided to pause my hiatus from this blog during NaNoWriMo to make a post. I have a lot of reasons to post right now. First, the superficial good news: my novel writing is going great. I have over 30,000 words with 16 days to go to get to 50,000. My pace doesn’t seem toContinue reading “A few days in the life”
NaNoWriMo Eve
Remember yesterday when I was going to do some crafting, but I had to work because someone called in? Well…at 9:45 this morning, my boss called and asked me if I could come in today. So still no crafting. I wish I could say I was disappointed, but the fact is, all the hours IContinue reading “NaNoWriMo Eve”
Changed the title
My original post was titled “Working Girl”, and then I thought about that a little bit. I don’t want to give the wrong impression here. So I managed to hem some pants before work the other day, and that was great. But I haven’t done much since then. Wednesday was Eric’s birthday, so I cleanedContinue reading “Changed the title”
