Status Update
I'm still going strong with the quitting of the cigarettes and I've increased my work out time! I'm doing two walks a day at work and forty minute intense work outs at night so I can shed the weight that has crept up on me in the past year in a [...]
I KNEW IT! 3,000 miles or 3 months… whateva!
This is a debate that I've had with many people over the years who have gasped at me for not being anal over my oil changes. Granted... with one car it was from sheer laziness, but for others it made no sense. The oil looked clean, the car ran [...]
‘Of course I’m not wasting time on the web… I’m *transcribing*…’
If you've signed up for an account within the past several years or have done pretty much anything on the www and needed to prove that you weren't a bot, then you've encountered a reCAPCHA (Completely Automated Public Turing test to tell Computers [...]
One Week… One Day
The milestones will be stretched out to a month after today is finished... I sorta promise. I've been a non-smoker for 1 week and 1 day now :) it's odd, almost like a part of my identity is gone. "My name is Dawn and I was for the most part, a [...]

Day 6: I should have been addicted to the BIG stuff!
Yes, this is exhilarating, I feel triumphant, strong, and umm... fan-freakingtastic (I'm not even being sarcastic!). 6 days since I've given up on the Nicotine and I'm telling you, if you have never smoked, I highly suggest that you start just for [...]
Smart People and… the title I wrote last night, but this time it’s applicable
There was one final show of lightning before it went away- it spanned across my line of sight like a huge electrical web. I gasped and cursed at the same time. I think it waited for my battery to run out. I feel so amazed and impressed each time [...]
Smart People and Invisible
Rather than starting off talking about films, I have to tell you folks that there's an awesome lightning storm brewing right outside. It's been YEARS since I've witnessed one of these in my area. The kind of storm where you see the entire sky light [...]
Accomplishment
I am taking an intermission from watching 'Smart People' so that I can write the following: If anyone has tried to quit smoking cold turkey- then you can appreciate the wonderful feeling it has to have some control of your life again (or any [...]
