Two Nerdy Things

I did two nerdy things the other day.

1) I made a chart of all the things I wanted to remember from the book The UltraMind Solution.

2) I made a chart of all the books (that I could think of) that I have read, am reading, and want to read in the future.

My inner life felt so organized by my doing those two things.

6 Word Memoir Ideas

Feeling All My Emotions Since 1985.

-or-

All Is Well That Ends Well.

Plus 10-15

I can see you.

Sitting there in that seat.

Looking at this screen.

And I know you’re wondering…

How much does Eva work per week?

Well, young lady, I am here to solve that mystery.  This is a list of the hours I have spent for each of the past ten weeks.  My company considers certain activities “productive,” so you have to add 10-15 of each number below to figure how much I actually work per week.

60.00
68.75
57.50
59.75
56.25
59.00
49.00
64.00
51.00
50.00

I am hoping that there are going to be some shorter days in my future.

I Heart…

 

First came Laffy Taffy, then came Blow Pops, now here’s Milk Duds.

What I Wish I Could Do Today

I am wishing so much today that I had a piano.  If I had one I would work all day on learning this…

Hello.

Long time, no see.

Let’s see… do I have anything to say?…

I play Ultimate.

I play soccer.

Such-A-One is the Shiz Whiz.

Working 60+ hours a week again, but hopefully only until August-ish.

Oh, ran into Pickle Man the other day.  Totally random.

Playing with kids 25 hours a week, and by “playing” I mean: playing, breaking up fights, encouraging good behaviors, providing consequences for bad behaviors, playing lots and lots of baseball and basketball, high-fiving, dancing/showing my “moves like Jagger,” etc.

I’m watching the Lord of the Rings movies a lot lately.

Going to spend the weekend with Best Friend R, Her Husband, and Such-A-One at a lake in a few weeks.

I eat a lot of fruits and nuts.

I think a lot about swimming.

My Favorite Color

… is green.  But more specifically and currently, seafoam green.  I have ridiculous love for this color.

My Fears

I keep tabs on my fears.  I keep tabs on how realistic they are, the likelihood of them happening, and from what direction.

As is typical in life, at times I run right into a fear.  It pops up in front of me clear as day, out of the blue.  That is the point at which point I realize I am not *that* afraid, because amid my surprise I still see clearly what I can *do* in that situation.

It’s like, “Oh, hello there, thing I’ve been scared of all my life.  You know, up close you don’t look as horrible as I thought.  In fact, I think we can work this out.  You may be just what I needed.”

And I feel filled with hope and love.
