Today my very wonderful UPS driver brought me my textbook and the accessories for my camera. My camera’s last known status was arriving at a FedEx facility in Bloomington, CA, so I am little worried about it, but I do have some amount of confidence in FedEx to not completely lose a package.
My camera won’t arrive until Friday, a whole day later than originally planned. This makes me want to jump up and down and scream at the sky. The worst part is, the camera is going FedEx, so I can’t do a service upgrade over the phone, and the package will likely arrive in their shipping […]
I think I can finally relax now. I have ordered the digital camera for my summer course. It isn’t a true SLR like I was originally looking for, but its just as good for manual adjustment. I have selected the Fujifilm FinePix S5200 for now. It isn’t exactly a Nikon D80, but I think it […]
Today I woke up fairly late in the day and have been having the weirdest mood shifts and changes in objectives. I have a chapter to finish for my novel, I have put in several random attempts at effort on it, for the same course I also have to “explicate a poem”, which I can […]
After spending the early part of the day reading through the syllabus for the Digital Photography course, I decided that I REALLY want to take it, and finished up the registration process. There is one thing I didn’t notice last night that I did this morning though, the course is not self-paced as I had […]

This evening I convinced myself that I should never accept a good deal from a plant supplier. Back in December my mother was becoming excited at the concept of growing her own strawberries, in January, Burpee sent me an email offer for strawberry plants. I purchased 25 strawberry plants for $15. Not a bad deal, […]
When this blog began in August 2004, my mind was a scary place, full of fears, regrets and things that were just not normal. I still have those types of thoughts from time to time, but lately I have been reflecting on my recent blog entries. My more recent writings have been about personal progress, […]
Being around my family presents great challenges when it comes to eating healthy. With all of the southern comfort foods we all love (potato salad, macaroni and cheese, biscuits, chick and dumplings) being made fresh and put in front of us, it is hard to resist. I tried to let myself go a bit today […]
I’m giving GrandCentral.com a try. Seems like a great service, but I don’t see myself using the forwarding features much. The voicemail is great though, I can check it anywhere via phone or web.
