Very sleepy today.... 2:30 to 8am is not enough.... :)

Froze my ass off on Saturday, Was walking dead at B&N Sat Night.

D&D was a kick on Sunday thought I should have left sooner rather than later... I'm diggin Firlya at the moment... Lotsa fun and is meshing well into my image of her as a character at this point... I'm excited to play again... :0

Felt good about dealing with the breakdown over the chicago weekend. It definitely pays to get in communication NOW when it hits and not procrastinate the actions. The energy spent on stress and trauma are better spent elsewhere... It is really simple and really hard at the same time... God am I stubborn.

Little baked at work though... need more sleep....

Tied up a dozen BWO (Blue Wing Olives) last night in 14 and 18 for this saturday morning on the Rush.... :) The word from Benteley's was that I missed a blustery, fishy morning last sunday. Though in retrospect, I really didn't miss anything... :)

My Tying Materials "Habit" is not really a problem... really... I can stop anytime.... The quality of the hackle has made me a believer, better ties from better chickens. I should be in marketing.

My head is trying to get in my homework for the Introduction Leader Program weekend coming up. Found my pencil AND my pen as per the advice from my "Coach of the Week" :) I'm excited about it. Gonna need to do some serious shopping to adjust my wardrobe up up up...

My heart and my head seem to be in a bit different space. Lack the courage and the convictions lately to make change, though I'm drifting in my head, my heart is still grounded...

Poking at Vstudio2003 with a stick. It at least is twitching now... rather than just smelling....

What a weekend! Saturday, fought a freaking dragon in our Temple of Elemental Evil Campaign. Went down fighting, yet again. (Thanks Mr. Cleric!) Sunday, THE BEST DINNER I HAVE EVER BEEN TO. Flavor of Minnesota for the National Liver Foundation. I won a tremendously cute doll for my mom, and we won a 25# Pearsons Nut Roll along with 4 Saints tix for our work! The silent auction was a hoot! That is an unbelievable amount of nut roll.

Did not wet my line... :)

Snow? Who said snow?

I have a sinking feeling my Sunday fishing outing will be more exploratory than productive.

Sis is picking up the tux for sunday!! Woot!! I am so stoked!

My SELP was INCREDIBLE! I'm still glowing!

And my ILP awaits tonight.... :) I am ready. Amazingly.

Updated info for the weekend!


I am going to a Black Tie Optional "Liver Dinner" Sunday night with the crew from Einsof and Ms. Jeannette. Gotta find me a tux!

Discovering the joys of swimming, something I have never really "gotten". Definitely gonna explore it more. :)

I'm excited about the coming weekend, D&D Temple of Elemental Evil on Saturday, I nearly died twice back to back last session. The lesson is: I am not a tank, or a "wrassller". Potluck for my AMAZING SELP on Sat Night. I have never felt this level of connection with SO MANY incredible people. It inspires me just thinking about it. And last but definitely not least: Stream Opener in Wisconsin (for me) on Sunday! I'll be on the Rush with Tyler, chasing the brownies. :)

Back to the fixes....
