Things I've Learned

Greetings Dear Reader!

So, Baltimore has not been what I expected it to be (is it ever?). What has surprised me is what I have learned through this whole experience.

1. I can actually cook, if it involves a crock pot. I need to perfect chicken and dumplings (not Tara's recipe, even though THAT recipe is delicious). This week, I've made chicken and dumplings, mac & cheese, and chili.

2. I really want to run a 5K. As in really, really. So, who's with me?

3. Jack misses dog parks. There is one "legal" dog park in Baltimore County. The "not legal" parks aren't fenced. Blind Dog + No Fence = Bad Idea.

4. Postcard Day may in fact be the greatest day I've ever invented...and yes I have invented other days (cf. Kermie day).

5. I really am smart and talented and gifted. I just may not believe that all the time.

6. FACT: I have the greatest friends. Period. My friends may not be geographically close, but they love me and support me and remind me that I am smart, talented, gifted and called. And for that, I am truly grateful.

Anita's Cheerleaders Part Deux

So, I'm going through some serious transition times. Yes, it hasn't and won't be easy. I am thankful that I have awesome friends who are super supportive. And I am going to need some support along the way. I want to get back into running. I just did the Color Run . (I highly suggest that you do this sometime in your life.) My friend Laura Kay did this with me, and we did it in 53 minutes, which is a really good time for me. I just figured out the start to a book that a professor suggested I write. I want to get back to writing. So, what am I asking for? I'm asking for cheerleaders once again. It doesn't matter where you live. I just need folks to cheer me on and keep me on track. I need to remember that I have support from all over the world. So here's the job description...Weeks begin November 4. The last week begins December 30. So, friends, pick a week, and let's do this. ...

Blogging with Pen and Paper…..

Or it’s equivalent….. Writing this blog in MS Word feels like writing with pen and paper. The internet is down at my apartment. I feel like something is missing. I cannot check IMDB at a moments notice. I cannot check Facebook, MySpace or e-mail. I cannot watch YouTube, check up on blogs, look for plane tickets, look for answers to all the random questions I have while watching TV, research (read: play Webkinz . I do read actual reports too...) and play Scrabulous. I cannot instant message or Skype! What am I going to do with myself? Well, I’m blogging with MS Word. I started to clean my desk. I’m watching shows on DVD that I haven’t had time to watch since I got them. (Star Trek: Voyager and The Muppet Show, yes, I am a geek.) I never realize how the internet has revolutionized how I live until it’s gone. I depend on it for research, communication and recreation. I wonder what is going to happen over the next 5, 10, and 20 years how it will ...
