Citizen

Citizen watches rock! I got one for Christmas and I can't tell you how many times I've slammed it into a wall, door, or as the case was this morning a toilet paper holder at work...oops. I hit it smack on the face each time and there isn't so much as one scratch! Maybe this is something silly to be impressed with, but I was just so excited that I hadn't killed it. You could seriously hear the 'hit' in the reception area.
I'm just so proud of my little present :)

You will NEVER believe this one

I decided to be nice and finally broke down and allowed Steven to pick what we did on Sunday. He said "lets pack a picnic and go to Fort Caroline". My reply? "there's an actualy fort on Ft. Caroline?". Well there sure was. We went and ate a yummy lunch and then did one of the shorter nature hikes. It was a blast! I never thought I would actually enjoy walking in the middle of the woods but I did...I didn't let him stop for too long though. That makes it a little too close to camping. Ick!

Anyway, I had a blast, and Bailey did too! She just talked the entire time and looked around at everything. We're hoping to go again next weekend and hike around Spanish Pond.

Buzy Bee

That's me, working my busy little stinger off, both literally and figuratively.

I've been doing Weight Watchers for 1 1/2 weeks now (woo hoo). So far I've lost 3lbs (another woo hoo), but I have a looooong way to go. Right now my first goal is to lose 25lbs, so only 22 more to go. Once that happens I'm gettin' me an acoustic guitar. I've always wanted to learn how to play (LOVE how it sounds) so that is my present for my first success, it will also take care of one of my 101 things in 1001 days.

On the writing front, I've finally nailed down my story. Finally! I can not begin to express how wonderful that feels. I've been brainstorming for a while now just unable to really get something good going but I finally have it. I've also found a few literary agencies that I'm interested in, so I'll be doing a little more research into them in the coming months. My goal is to get my ROUGH (as in completley unedited) manuscript completed by the end of July, with the finished product ready to head out by my birthday in October. However, just as long as the rough is done by the end of this year I'll be a happy camper.

Other writing fronts: I had my first article published last week in the FCCJ school paper, and I submitted two articles this time around for the issue coming out February 10. I've also just been given my first assignment for Ice Magazine, a women's ice hockey mag! I am beyond excited about this one! It will be published in the April issue!

There is just so much more but I have a lot to do in the short hour of freedom I get, so until next time...
