Packing is the worst
I can’t do it. Two suitcases and my backpack just aren’t quite enough. I’m going to have to check a third bag. If I could sneak past check in with a carry-on suitcase, a briefcase, and a purse then I will technically be within the limits. Or, I’m going to reconsider what I am trying […]
Application Timeline
I saw this type of post on another blog (http://mobleyfamily.info/), and thought it was at least good for myself to have the timeline documented. Then I found it on many other Peace Corps experience blogs, but most of the other are unreadable. It has been a long process. I pulled up my “Peace Corps” tag […]
Two weeks…
Oh crap, just 2 weeks left before Mexico. I’m excited, but sometimes also very sad – like when I’m bouldering. Here’s one of my favorite images from a great site (bibliodyssey.blogspot.com) to make me feel a little better
What I used to do
and summarized:
Publish or Edit?
When to publish a post, and when to hold onto it for more editing? So many blogs are terrible. The writing is usually boring. I’ve been wanting to start a website for quite some time now, but I’m not convinced that I have the writing chops. Hopefully, my writing can evolve. In the meantime, here […]
Favorite pictures of myself
It makes me smile to try this. My guy is a good photographer, and since we do a lot of activities conducive to photos, I’ve had to get a lot better about being photographed, and I think I’ve done a splendid job, for something I hate so much. The real test will be when I […]
The full list
I have a thing with podcasts. I listen to a lot of them, for years now. I never tell people about all of the shows, even though I will always share recommendations. Once I get started talking about them, I probably usually overwhelm people. However, when it comes to the full list, I’m embarrassed by […]
Contraction, yet again
I’m having on-and-off productive days as I try to get rid of stuff – contract my possessions. This is my second overseas move, and I’m feeling fine about the amount of stuff that I have and getting rid of much of it. I’m going to end up with more stuff in “storage” at M’s parent’s […]
March and Procrastination
I still don’t have a plane ticket, but I received another letter which said that I will start my Peace Corps stuff on March 14th in D.C. before heading to Mexico. Starting to feel the moving stress, but that is the motivator. Posted the plants online for sale, and the snowshoes, but not so […]
Life List
After the Galapagos and Ecuadorian jungle I’ve thought about starting a life list for birding. I don’t just want a text file though. I would like a database program that I could import pictures into, list the location and date, and have it all searchable. I also pass of the l laziness as wanting/needing a […]
