4. Now I Get It

Actually, no. No I don’t get it. I’m a planner and a worrier, so the whole “living-in-the-now”? Hard.

My plans are usually long term though. Like the school thing. That was an 8 year plan right there. I have little problem seeing myself in 5 or 10 years, though to be honest it’s hazy, changes a lot, and is a bit romanticized. I have no vision of myself beyond a week or so. I mean, I definitely have stuff in my calendar; yoga, tweetups, an awesome family reunion, etc. What I should see is me hanging out with awesome friends, laughing, having a good time. Let’s make that happen, k? Oh, and beer, with fruit. Sorry Uncle Crappy, my beer does need fruit

Let’s also include hanging out with this guy some more! What a cutie!

I’m not sure how much more self-reflection I’ll be able to handle for a month straight. I might pseudo-cop out and start writing around the NaBloPoMo prompts. Just not today’s, that would be more like an epic novel.

This NaBloPoMo Thing

I’m participating in the National Blog Posting Month Thing. NaBloPoMo-u-s-e.

I didn’t start the month out with an intro post for two reasons; 1) I had other things I wanted to write about and 2) I’m a wimp. I was half afraid to announce my participation out of fear that it would jinx me. I’m no superstitious though. I say wimp, ’cause it’s nicer than calling myself a quitter. I have this tendency to adopt a hobby, buy all the shit for it, and promptly lose interest. I’m hoping this is noncommittal enough for me that I won’t lose interest as soon as I announce interest.

November is apparently a very ambitious month for me, because I’m also attempting NaNoWriMo (National Novel Writing Month). Come on it’s only 50,000 words and I sort of have an idea for a story. Also I’m only 3 days behind on starting it.

So, between the blog thing, the novel thing, meal planning and cooking, and the rest of life that happens just in general…November is crazy. I am crazy

A lot of my friends are doing it and have offered encouragement. I think maybe I can do this. And that reminds me, if I don’t have your blog listed to the side and you want it there, please let me know. I know I forgot some and I’m sorry.
