I’ve lost track again. How hard could this be? Not very, I’m sure. I’ll do some research and update the all-important edition number. So without further ado, thirteen things keeping me so busy that… yeah, I know I’m such a bad, bad blogger!!

1. baseball — my son is on two teams and I hate missing games

2. work — yeah, I have a real job! and we’ve got this big project and, you know…

3. running — I’m up to five miles a day! and you know what, on Monday, the day of the Boston Marathon, I’m going to start on the treadmill at 10am and keep running until the winner finishes, some 2 1/4 hours later! I’ll be running my pace, not theirs, though!

4. lifting — why not mention this, too, since I’m not sure I’ve got thirteen things — doh! yes, four days a week I’m doing that.

5. spinning — I really do get really cranky if I don’t get my two spinning classes per week!

6. system management — you can write all the code you want but if the system isn’t running right, nobody can enjoy it!

7. my band — yes, I play bass in this band, Too Pretty For Prison — and we just got back from a world tour and boy are our arms tired!

8. organizing — you’re going to LYAO, but I’ve been trying to catalog every single thing in my house. I’m so tired of not knowing where anything is! so everything is going in a bin in my much tidier basement and I’ve got lists and… yeah, I know — nerd alert!

9. writing — no, not the actual writing, but taking every little thought for a story and writing it down in — yes, the same system I use for organizing my bins of clutter! one of these days I’m going to sit down and write the actual stories, I swear!

10. eating — ok, not eating all the time or I wouldn’t have lost 90 pounds, but thinking about eating is more like it, and what I can eat that’s healthy.

11. planning — I’ve got some big plans for some code I need to write that will make the links just fly off of the page! now if only I had some time to actually write the code!

12. planting — it’s that time of year! only four or five weeks more until we can put our veggie babies in the ground, but I built a good size plant light stand to get everything started… and this week is roto-tilling time!

13. and last but not least, I feel like I spend most of my free time tweaking this code I’ve been writing — it’s the tool that keeps my bins and thoughts and stories and everything organized — and no, it’s not ready to share yet, but it keeps me wicked wicked busy!

now if it could just keep me organized enough to know how many TT’s I’ve written! LOL!!
