This time of year...

Posted 10-26-2008 at 08:59 PM by knittingknerd

While most people think of fall/autumn as the time when leaves change different colors and fall (which I just saw happening! So cool! Why didn't anyone tell me that it's so cool to see that?!), pumpkin spiced flavored everything, maple flavored everything, and Halloween candy. For me Fall/Autumn is National Novel Writing Month/nanowrimo time (hopefully it's okay for me to post this here). Basically it's my 1 month period where I actually write and finish a story, and it doesn't matter if it's good...

Big and scary bridge...

I'm afraid of heights. Okay not so much heights but falling and falling and heights go hand and hand. I think it's one of those control issues. I have nightmares where I'm on an endless slick wood floor and can't stop sliding and I'm struggling to stop, literally kicking my legs out, really using my legs not in dream world, to stop myself and I can't. So it has to be a control thing about heights and falling. I force myself to go on rides that are really high that I fall straight down on but even...

Last post as a Californian.

I'm leaving here in about an hour, hitting the road (going to make one quick errand to a friend's house that's quasi-on the way) and then I'm leading up. We're breaking the trip into 4 days because I've never driven more than a few hours at a time (from like Agoura to San Luis Obispo-sp?).

I have 3 books on tape/cd ("Wolves in Chic Clothing," "Can you Keep a Secret?" and "People worth knowing") to keep me entertained (hopefully). My little Elantra is...

Humbled and...

Posted 10-11-2008 at 08:36 AM by knittingknerd

I said more goodbyes in a string of good byes last night. This was to the puppy group I'm in. For some reason saying goodbye to these people (although I will see them in January I think and throughout the year), was tougher. Suddenly I realized "wow I'm leaving." And I got to talk to people who.... really taught me a lot. I'm hoping I can do the same to some newbie puppy raisers in Washington, pass the torch-ish.

Pearl leaves us in 30 hours ish....
We leave CA in 4...
