February Day(s) of Reckoning

Day 106

By the way, before I forget. I blognapped Kristy's blog today. She must have forgotten that I helped her set up her blog so I know her password. You can see it here: 365daysofKristy

I know I say this every time this column comes up and I will probably keep saying it but I cannot believe that it has been two weeks already!

So how am I doing?


WRITING:

I am losing it. I am losing focus and I have slacked off writing and editing. I did e-mail a few folks the first half of my novel for them to edit and I am hoping that pushes me forward. I am getting real close to the end though and that makes me happy. And I just edited one of my favorite parts of my novel yesterday. When I look at the big picture and see how much I have accomplished and what I have left, I am satisfied with how much I have done. I only have 17,359 words left of my novel to edit. I have written so far on my second draft 73,173 words! All I have to do in addition to finishing is to write a small conclusion to another chapter I added. And then go through whatever edits I have that my friends have for me and I am done!

READING:

Good news/bad news here. The next book that has been recommended by my friend Steve is 'Then We Came to the End' by Joshua Ferris. I picked this up at the library and I got through the first four chapters but then I had to renew it at the library. And someone had placed a hold on it so I don't have it anymore. ARGH! The book was a little difficult to get into but the further I got the better it became. I liked it because it reminded me of WestHost. Every character that book had there was someone at my old work like them. And the chair... ...Tom's chair was (so far) my favorite part. Maybe one day I will write a book about my time at WestHost.

So until I get that book back, I will have to concentrate on finishing Veeps before the month ends.

Exercise and Eating Right
I skipped yesterday. Kristy and Logan had the day off from school and I don't like to do the Wii Fit with them around. Aside from that, I have done pretty decent. I am down a few more pounds and I am closer to my goal. I also have noticed that I look much better. I still have the ol' love handles but my chest, shoulders and arms have improved. Yes, I am an Adonis.

As far as my other goals have gone, I have not had any time yet. The novel is my focus for now. We'll see how I am in another 14 days.

It's Back!

Day 101

One of my fellow bloggers was celebrating their 100th entry and I was happy but perplexed. How come I was only on #99? I commented on her blog hoping that she would see her mistake and come to find out that I was the one that can't count. So I had to go back all the way to #76 and renumber them all. I blame Kristy's Blognapping of Sunday. And thanks Andrea for finding my mistake.

Last night before I went to work I was flipping through the channels to find something to watch for a half an hour and I found something that I absolutely love. I am not a big fan of reality shows but there is one that I just find fascinating. I love celebrity meltdowns and train wrecks and this one is filled with it. And I do like this show for another reason, it makes me want to take care of myself. If these pampered celebrities can do it, so can I! I am talking about Celebrity Fit Club: Boot Camp!


The last that I heard of that show is that they were stilling looking for some fat celebrities for the show. I had absolutely no clue that the show is done and being aired. It was like Christmas came early! I couldn't watch all of it since I had to get to work but it looks like their could be a lot of meltdowns and train wrecks. Take a look at this cast. We have K-Fat Kevin Federline, musician Bobby Brown, Charles in Charge star Nicole Eggert, Tanisha Thomas from The Bad Girls Club, Skid Row singer Sebastian Bach, High School Musical star Casey Stroh, Jay McCarroll ( i have no idea who this guy is but he sure is pretty funny) and K-Fed’s old ex, Shar Jackson. Some of these guys I have no idea who they are but I am looking forward to Bobby Brown, Nicole Eggert and Sebastian Bach lose some weight. Nicole didn't look so bad, man I had such a crush on her when I (we) were both younger.



I plan on eating a cupcake and drinking a Mountain Dew while watching this show. This show is more addicting than Mountain Dew. And I love it!
