Is it seriously Wednesday already?!

Tired. Got my MITs done yesterday and spent some of my free time reading a book called Active Birth. It provides a lot of information and specific ideas for healthier delivery, and I like that it’s generally positive, as opposed to some resources on natural childbirth that tend to villanize the [...]

Back to work

Had a great long weekend visiting with my family and friends. It’s hard to get down to work after all that, but I guess I’ll give it a shot.
Found out Friday that my glucose levels are on the high side, which doesn’t come as a surprise to anyone who knows me… Time to [...]

Wrapping up the week early

Whew. Got yesterday’s tasks done, barely.
I’m learning again the importance of setting goals that don’t assume the involvement of others—the membership plugin didn’t work out of the box, but since getting it set up was part of my task, I was kind of in a bind. Fortunately, the plugin developer offered very [...]

Plowing through

Yesterday was a smashing success. I battered through loads of resistance and came out with my MITs done. I’ve already ordered my book.
I’m on a new idea rampage and have several I’d like to pursue. That’s usually slightly dangerous as I end up dropping things I already am working on, and the pattern repeats about [...]

Didn’t even get close yesterday. The theme consumed me (but it was so much fun!) and I didn’t get to the other two MITs at all… so more for today. I technically have four MITs and that’s not allowed, so I’m going to get creative to fit them all in.
On the [...]

Go go go!

Set up my operations manual with said theme, and port the existing content over

Ready for the Weekend

Got my list done yesterday, but didn’t buy the Christmas album yet because I need to listen (over and over and over) to the songs we’re going to be leading for church tomorrow. There’s two this week that are new to me, so bring on the “repeat” feature.
I’m a little [...]

Entrepreneurial Seizures

The Idea Market was fun, and it was good to meet so many of my Twitter friends in person (my pink hair helped, as many of them recognized me before seeing my name tag—and even then it was more like, “Hey, you’re bookchiq!”).
One of the exercises was creating an entrepreneurial board game. My group came [...]

Wednesday, October 8

Yesterday went much better than Monday. I got my stuff done, and even did a background for my own Twitter profile.
After work, I went for a mountain bike ride and was pleased to find that despite being 30 weeks pregnant and not having ridden for almost a month (I kind of broke my bike the [...]
