work is, in fact, minimal today, so thats a good thing : ) this way i get to spend some more time being around abi... its funny, i don't usually get into babies that much but she's just really special to me. i was somewhat disapointed when i first got here because she didn't have any osrt special reaction to me, but i guess thats to be expected now that she is older. i also find it funny at what young age personality starts to show through... on the phone, my mom mentioned that abi has started crying more, but from what i've seen, she doesn't exactly cry, she just raises her voice in an unhappy manner as if to say 'no, this isn't what i wanted' rather then whining or anything like that... she also babbles quite a bit, tries to sing along to music, and even makes scrunched-up-face-cursing sounds. i think its adorable. she's also starting to realize that food from the grownup table is a lot more tasty then unflavored babymush, and is starting to ask for food she sees the rest of us eating. its rather cute : ) i wonder if she'll be like debbie and develop a taste for real adult food like sushi & olives really early on, too...

i gave some thought to the kind of stuff i've been writing in here lately... its odd, sometimes i feel like putting self-improvement ideas in here kinda like cements my intetnion to work on them - because once its out in public, its like i have to. i don't know if this is good or bad, though... its good that i am taking on self-improvement projects, but bad that i seem to need this external outlet to get things going. but then again, is utilizing a helpful tool really a bad thing? definately food for thought.

i've also been thinking about overhauling the bio page i've started on depth, because since i've done most of the writing in it, i think i have come to the conclusion that its not the best idea to try and give a full description of my earlier life, as my memories are brief and not very inter-connected, so it may just better to go with general development and themes. and i stopped being able to update the bio once i got to my teenage years, because some of the stuff that went on there i still haven't figured out, while too much else is just plain painfull to even think about. we'll see. but i definately think the time is ticking for me to finish that project - i just can't ever motivate myself to work on it!
i've also been thinking of moving progress off velvet... i definately want to keep it static, just like i did with Cavern of Doubt, just as sort of frozen pieces of me during parts of my life, but i am starting to run out of room on velvet and if i'm not making any changes to the site, i don't see a real reason to keep it there. just gotta think of where i want to put it.

bleagh.
there's so much stuff i need to do within my personal realm of stuff that i just don't want to get around to doing.
cleaning the room has to happen, and soon... the mess has just been migrating to the computer room, and thats so not cool. not to mention that there's a couple of things i need to find (like the insturction booklet to my camera among other things) that i know i won't until i clean everything out.
i also need to go through my inbox and answer personal emails. i suck at writing back and have months of email to reply to.
and then clean & sort out my mail folders, and then do the same for my computer. just really not fun stuff when you get down to it...

heh... which just reminds me that i need to go clean off my car at some point soon, and call dell whenever my mom gets off the phone. joy.

on a more fluffy note, i've been wanting to have more pics of myself taken. i want to play with pics, and i want to make alternate lj icons, etc. only i've been looking really bad lately & don't want to be disapointed by bad pictures. *sigh*

I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings

I just read a wonderful autobiography of someone's childhood going back as far as she could remember until she became a mommy at age 16 or 17. Maya Angelou's "I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings", it's just a small cheap paperback, a real page turner and obviously I recommend it =).

She actually managed to put togethor a very coherent story going way back to when she was five. I was amazed.

Which reminds me, I actually sat down and wrote a small summary of my childhood and I should probably edit it and post it to LJ.
