writerly ways

I'm on the special senses in my nursing classes and I thought that might be a good topic for this week

( Senses )

A challenge for you all. Describe the same scene using at least two if not more of these senses. Try it again leaving sight for last.

weight off week 8

how did we get through 2 months of the year already? I've seen some success stories on my list today. I'm not one of them. Apparently my plateau is as long as Australia. Whee. How are you all doing.

I have to confess, I'm not an Oscar's person but I clicked on a link that promised an Oscar worthy body (which really I sort of thought that was insulting but whatever.) Anyhow it's a series of workout types from celebrity trainers and I looked them over and thought I'd share them here celebrity trainer work outs

A lot of them were fairly simply and requiring no real equipment. I mean you could substitute soup cans for arms weights in the triceps work out and I'm pretty sure even I could do the playing card one (okay I'll have to misuse tarot cards at the moment or see if I can find my fma set).

and my once weekly recipe. Got this one from the new weight watcher's book and it has to be one of the best new recipes I've tried in a long time.

to make up for crashing low yesterday

My sugar decided to visit the stratosphere so I got so little done. It just drains me. I'm not even sure how this day passed. I know most of it was me on the couch fighting my brain to focus. I didn't get anywhere near done what I hoped to. I didn't grade anything or clean anything.Big bang ended up a big whimper today. I hate this. My mother hates it. My brother has taken another turn for the worse and she and my dad are there watching their children fail. I know i have other chronically ill friends on here and they probably won't argue with the idea that some days it's hard to keep going on.

I wish I'd get word from circlet press, even if it's a rejection. I wish i knew if it even got there. sigh.

it's pouring again. whee.

I did vacuum today because apparently when i left to go grocery shopping my cats disembowled each other. There was hair EVERYWHERE.

I also tried to make a quinoa fruit salad. I was going to go to an Oscar party but i felt so bad I didn't. I hate the Oscars anyhow. ANyhow WHY is the cook time for grains never right. I cooked this twice as long as it was supposed to be and it's STILL hard as a fucking rock. what a waste of money.
