I realized I’ve not blogged lately.  Which is weird. But I have been SUPER busy.

1. I’ve been crafting up Christmas presents — for my friends and for those who’ve purchased crafty items from my etsy store for the holidays.  I’ve been spending the past several days filling a pretty large order of tattoo mugs that I’ve had for a while.  And I’ve got another oversized mug to finish and some other items.
   
2. I was in a (minor) car accident in early November, and I’ve been fighting with insurance and the officer who DIDN’T WRITE A POLICE REPORT for the accident to get my car back. My car was a 2-day fix, so it was really frustrating. I drove 3 different vehicles last month. The loaner car from Toyota — which they gave me for a gracious 18 days before telling me that they were going to have to report it stolen if I didn’t return it — even though my car wasn’t fixed; my grandpa’s truck — ironically, the same make and model that ran me off the road in the first place; and a fabulous Hyundai Elantra with XM radio — the rental car I finally got for a week when I received the other guy’s insurance. WEE. However, I did discover Beyond Bollywood, an incredible XM radio station.
3. I’ve also been working out a lot more — adding in an hour after work like I used to. Trying to fit back into my pants. Getting there. But the holidays are approaching.
4. OH, and this doesn’t have anything to do with why I haven’t blogged lately, but I want to share!  I got a lovely Boheme hand-knit chunky cowl from Hey Jen Renee.

Hello!

I’ve decided that since I blog just about every day anyway, that I would join the NaBloPoMo movement and blog every day during National Blog Posting Month.

Got a blog?  Want a jump start on blogging more often? You should join too. It will be fun!   There is the little catch of having to come up with new and exciting content every day, but I AM GAME.

haven’t seen that time for a while.

i’m up cuz i’m doing laundry… not the most glamorous thing in the world. 11 loads total — 3 left to go. w00t.

homes for thanksgiving — took the day off tomorrow (thank goodness cuz i’m up doin laundry!). hopefully i can get some sleep in tomorrow…but who knows. not sure what all the deener has planned and emee will probably be up and letting us all know she’s awake tomorrow (or in just a few hours more likely).

sometime last week i decided to move this blog from runningchimes.blogspot.com to runningchimes.wordpress.com. ideally i’ll have my own blog on my own site, but i’ve got to build my own site first… and who knows when that’s going to happen. i’m kinda swamped at work now and i’ve got a couple of freebie freelance projects i’ve promised ppl (why I do that… I don’t know).

anywho, this blog isn’t going to just be a bunch of running graphs and nerdy spandex, shoe and gadget talk.  although, i’m not going to promise there won’t be any nerdy design talk… yeah. this blog is a little bit more about life than the other one.

the sole purpose for the original blog was to get me excited for the des moines marathon and create awareness that i was training. basically, without that blog, i probably wouldn’t have ran the marathon. sad how technology impacts our lives. if i didn’t have something holding me accountable, then i wouldn’t have done it (kind of like the rest of my life).

which brings me here. if i blog about my goals, does that mean maybe i’ll achieve them?  well only time will tell.

ok one thing i do miss about blogger is the foxytunes signature insert.. :/

well for anybody who cares, i’m listening to a bunch of 80s music that i’ve been downloading in  preparation for our Party Like it’s 1985 new year’s party… which is going to rock. bloggity blog blog blog to come.

right now: The Cure: Friday I’m in Love (an old classic)
