Random Life Happenings
Monday, June 15, 2009 at 2:05 PM | Dena Harris I don't know where my mind is these days. Maybe it's the first heat wave of summer that's come through or the fact that I'm increasing my training, but I was just zonked last week. Not sleepy-tired but physically "body-feels-like-a-brick-and-mind-is-brain-dead" tired. I sat in front of my laptop and ordered myself to focus but it was like clawing through quicksand.
Today seems better. Feeling much more me and focused. I need to jump on some work that I let slide a bit in the fog of last week, so today's blog is just a quick recap of random events from the past week:
- I'm having a horrible time finding a guest for this month's radio show. If you know of anyone living in Rockingham county who is not originally from Rockingham county, please send me their contact info.
- Saw Star Trek again this weekend. Because yes, it's that good.
- I almost saved/killed a turtle today. A big turtle was halfway across Hwy 150. I swerved to miss him and turned around and put my blinkers on and got out of my car to move him to safety. Only a semi came whizzing around m and came close to squooshing Mr. Turtle who impressed me by hauling ass to the side of the road, thereby rendering my services unnecessary.
- Had a great client meeting today for a grant writing project.
- Am still obsessed with working out a training schedule for the summer. We (Runnerdude and myself) have a group of about 10 people committed to the program. I'm the earliest Marathon with Chicago so I kick off June 23rd.
- Several people have asked me when I'll be offering my class "Get Published!" again. Soon. Just need to find a venue to hold it in.
- With great trepidation, ordered new running shoes online. I've worn the same size/brand for years and these were $30 off what I usually pay. But mail-order shoes make me nervous...
- Will I ever do creative writing again? Seems life is eaten up by client work and training.
- Speaking of eating, doing a decent job at the plant-based diet. Blair is being very consenting in what he's agreeing to eat.
- I'm still looking through the Egypt pictures every other day. It was magical. I miss it.
- A national representative from Play It Again Sports e-mailed me to say they appreciated the prior blog entry about good service. They wanted to be sure to recognize the GSO store. Yea!
That's it. I've got a to-do list a mile long with everything from "make homemade salsa" to "outline proposal for Project XXX." Wonder if I'm talented enough to do both at the same time?
Cheers.

Skip the homemade salsa chore...Go to HT and buy "Maggies"...It's as good as homemade and MUCH easier. She won a national award for the best new product from a small woman owned company.
remember your lunch date tomorrow...
