Random Sunday – Tuesday, Driving, and Life

I know.  It’s actually Tuesday.  And I've been gone a while.  There are several reasons for that.  First, I started my next grad school class and it’s kept me busy.  I also ended up getting a new laptop in here, which is what I write on the most right now, and that is taking me a while to get set up like my old one.  But, I’m back.  Missed it by a little, but it is the third anniversary of my blog as well.  Hopefully soon I can get enough time carved out to give it a little face lift as an anniversary present.

I noticed something today.  People start to drive really dumb as soon as it snows.  Now, in places where snow is fairly infrequent, I would get it.  I would probably be one of those dumb drivers.  But, this is not there.  This is Minnesota.  This is where we were colder than the surface of Mars a week ago and few news outlets even commented on it.  This is where some places in the state have had, literally, 4+ FEET of snow.  Come on, people!  Figure it out!


For some reason, life has been getting away on me a little.  I know.  Before you go pointing out the obvious like I have a 17 month old son, work full time, and go to grad school half time, understand that’s not really what I meant.  I just mean that things are flying by so fast.  There are so many things I want to do and I just haven’t done them yet.  That was what I was getting at in my New Year’s Resolution post.  I want to really live.  I want to do those things.  I want to not have regrets when I look back at my life.  I will work on making this a reality this year.

Random Sunday – Workouts, Writing, and Life

 As I’m sitting here writing this, I’m rather uncomfortable.  I’ve been trying to work out to be in better shape and look better in a two piece when I go to Hawaii in May.  But, man, it hurts.  Why does working out have to hurt so much?  I’m convinced more people would work out if it didn’t hurt so much.

I’ve noticed my writing has suffered a bit lately.  Might have something to do with all of the things already on my plate.  I haven’t had much in the way of inspiration recently either.  I’m not happy about it.  I need to figure a way out of this writing slump.  If anyone has any great ideas, let me know.  Until then I’m going to work harder at writing for the prompts at Write on Edge and Trifecta.  Not sure what else to do.

I’ve also come to the conclusion that life bites.  At least a good portion of the time it does.  There’s just been a lot of stressful, unhappy making things going on.  Might have something to do with why I’m struggling to write as well.  Hmmm.  Bears some reflecting.  I need to decide what to do about the crappy things happening.

So, yeah.  There you have it.
