Google Alert quirk
Why would Google Alerts send me an alert about a year-old post on my own blog that I deleted weeks ago? Weird.Google Alerts is a good way to find out which spam sites are stealing my content, but it's not like I can do anything about it once I find them..
So about my hand...
So I hurt my hand on Friday, remember?Once again, I was paying attention to the kids and not where I was going and paid the price. This time we were on our way out, the kids excited about the promised Spring Break trip to the skating rink. They ran ahead,.

Ouch.
I feel like crap today, people. Among other, smaller aches, I hurt my right hand yesterday. I have a lot to say about it; however, my left hand alone can't keep up with my brain, so I'll just have to tell you all about it later. No, I haven't gone to.
Hot glue fixes everything that duct tape can't
I've mentioned my Dell Latitude's iffy power jack. Well, I was talking to Darcknyt about it last night, and he mentioned hot glue. I thought it couldn't hurt to try. I mean, if I mess up, hot glue is pretty easy to peel off after its cooled, yet it could.

The Oklahoma Aquarium
[gallery link="file"]Friday we all took a day trip to the Oklahoma Aquarium. My camera didn't like the darkness, and my video camera didn't like the constant echoey background noise, but I got a few good pictures. That catfish up there in the first picture?.
See? Okies are cool.
I've been a bit obsessed with this song, "Still In the Dark" by Aranda. Finally googled Aranda, and guess what I found out?? Aranda is from Oklahoma! I know I seem a bit over-excited, but I love finding out that cool people came from right over there.Since.

On tenacity
I've been thinking a lot about mistakes. Mistakes I've made and mistakes others have made with me. I forgive others' mistakes a lot easier than I forgive my own. I think a lot of us are that way, but one mistake I make over and over is believing that.
Thoughts from the treadmill
I hate making breakfast. Why should the only chore I truly dislike be the first thing I have to do in the morning? When the youngest is about 8 I think I'll never cook/pour breakfast again. They can get their own rackin-frackin cereal, and I shall never.

Now I know I'm not alone...
H/T Nathan Bransford for this article: Writing for a living: a joy or a chore?Here's the description I identify with the most:Hari Kunzru I get great pleasure from writing, but not always, or even usually. Writing a novel is largely an exercise in.
Thoughts from the couch
I'm just going to start typing and see where I end up, 'kay? I've been a lazy bum. No treadmill, no supplements, much junk food, very little writing. Buying a car and then driving said car on many shopping trips during PMS sucked my energy. I hope to.
Honoring intuition
Well, folks, I did it. I bought the '97 Saturn I talked about in the last post. It's just big enough to seat two adults and three tiny-heiny children. I wrote the check Friday afternoon, and couldn't even look at it sitting in the driveway. What if I.
