So... what have you been up to?

I have been up to lots, thanks for asking! I recently started a Couch to 5k run/walk program and will be running my first 5k.... eventually. It's slow going. I am way more out of shape than I would like to admit. Remember those days when you could play all day and by play I mean run around like a crazy person and never get tired? Those were good times. It's a shame that we appreciate those days more when we are older. I am starting to sound like those people I thought were sooooooooooooo old when I was a kid, I'm not certain that I approve of this change. I have plans to do lots of fun excursions over the next few months. Well, if you have been around long enough, you know my idea of fun usually entails driving somewhere remote (though not always) taking a bunch of pictures and boring the boogers out of you with all the details when I get back. HAH! And, as always, I must leave you with a photo because that's just what I do. This is from an excursion I took just before I moved back to the desert to the Woodland Park Zoo in Washington State. If you ever get the chance, go there! It's fabulous! I don't, in general, particularly like zoos, and I was happily entertained all day and could have stayed longer.
And, for the the more florally-inclined individuals, there is an amazing rose garden just around the corner. I also am not the biggest fan of roses (they make me sneeze and I get itchy sometimes), but it even impressed me. Ah, what the heck, here's a photo from there also.
HAH! I bet you thought it was going to be a rose! Fooled you! I hope that you are all enjoying life and either content or happy wherever you are.

Zeitgeist and the month of December…

makes I am planning to blog through the month of December, you know one of those blog everyday kind of clubs.  I like the idea of them a lot – though I’m not promising anything spectacular, because I tend to get sidetracked a lot, but I am planning to blog at least a little. I wasn’t even going to bother attempting another one of these things – the dismal failures and the guilt, the added stress from the guilt, who needs it really!?! I suppose if I actually made it all the way through I’d feel pretty awesome but it’s all good. Actually, what most excited me about this blog all the month thing was the theme – Zeitgeist – isn’t that just one of the coolest words ever? It just sounds cool.  I am thinking of adopting it as my theme for 2011 – I’m not joking, I like it that much. In case you don’t know (or haven’t googled a defintion yet) here’s an overview of the meaning from wikipedia : is "the spirit of the times" or "the spirit of the age." Zeitgeist is the ge...

Maybe you've been wondering...

Where I've been... well, nowhere really. I have been trying to stay off the computer and get some studying done. Obviously this is not working very well since here I am, but it is an effort. This new test I am studying for to determine whether I'm cool enough to enter the Education program at Western Washington University is scaring the pants off me. I really wish they would accept my already passing Praxis scores as I have already gone through all the freaking out, stressing out, studying and lack of sleep for that test. I don't test very well. I really never have. I am full of that panicky test anxiety right up until the professor, etc says go, and then I calm down and keep telling myself, you know this or you don't... just breathe goober. I am almost always convinced that I'm going to fail, and fail badly and I can't remember actually ever failing, but it could still happen. So, now I stay up late (because that's the only time it's quiet here) a...
