Thing I'm most proud of...coming up on two months of not smoking, working out, and feeling better than I have in years.
Creepiest movie I've seen...The Nanny with Bette Davis...gawd but that woman was skkkkeeeery!!!
Best advice I gave twice in one week...."No man is worth carving out pieces of your flesh to feed yourself from."
Most fun I had...making chocolate chip cookies with my kids. We made a huge mess, but boy was it ever fun!!
The thing that irritates me...that the fucking people working on my fence seem to have something against showing up for more than three hours a week.
Finally giving in...a photographer friend has been wanting me to shoot with him for ages...I told him I would.
Good deed...I fought with my boss over getting a guy into rehab instead of sending him to prison...and (I'm sooooooo much more stubborn than him) I won this round! The rest is up to the guy.
Lost things...probably put the final nail in the coffin of a friendship by being honest with his ex-girlfriend (also a very good friend) about his current living arrangements (living with some titty dancer chippie that he left her for). He's moved out, had three weeks to tell her the truth, and I'm not going to lie to her.
New projects...getting all of my holiday gift ideas in order. : ) Also working on several new short stories and doing some painting.
Reading...Speak to The Earth by Vivienne de Watteville and a biography of Rosa Luxemburg.
Best New Journal...I'm particular to Artemis and Athena, generally, but this is one of the best online journals I've seen in a while.
New addition to the menagerie...an old hard-scrabble Tom that's missing an ear...he's been hanging around and getting fed. I figure it'll be at least a couple of months before he'll even let me get close enough to touch him.
Enjoying...the leaves changing, the river's turning from deep green to stone grey, my kids getting excited about the holidays, conversations on the wire, the smells of cooking in my kitchen, life's little surprises.
