Where the heck did Cedar go?
22 Jan 2012 04:19 pmHi all! Let's all watch as I sheepishly sneak back onto LJ...
This month has absolutely flown by. I realized the moment that Snupin Santa was over that I needed to spend many weeks doing absolutely nothing fannish at all, just to get back in the flow with my family and my work. It was abrupt but I'm afraid entirely necessary. I'm really glad I did, even though I was wracked with guilt that I had not really wrapped up all the final pieces of the fest the way I needed to. I'm committed to taking some time this week to do all the final coordinating, updating the archive, etc. If you've been waiting around for me to do this part, here I am!
It's been a good month. We just survived the crazy snow and ice extravaganza that hit Seattle this week-- lots of cabin-fever with the SO and the toddler, though. My kid is at the phase in her development when she is exercising power like a tiny and fickle dictator. *sigh* Here was a standard conversation between us this week: "I go in snow RIGHT NOW." "Ask me politely." *simpering voice* "Pleeese, mommy." "Okay. So let's put on your socks and pants." "NO!" *runs off* From other room: "MOMMMY! I go in snow RIGHT NOW!" etc. Rinse and Repeat. There is such a thing as too much togetherness...
It is that fun time of the school year where all of the fall units are finished, and the fresh, new subjects are starting. I always get re-energized and excited at this point. It also means I have a crap-load of work to do to get everything underway. I should have used my snow days to do all sorts of things for school. Hahahahahaha! Yeah. Right.
Also, I've read 4,000 pages of The Song of Ice and Fire series in the last month or so...I'm through the fourth book, and I have a plan now to read the fifth book with a colleague of mine at school, so we can discuss as we read. Glee! That series is like yummy yummy candy that I cannot stop shoveling into my maw. I will fully admit to total addiction.
Anyway, I'm back. I'm thinking about![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
hp_beholder again this year, trying to pace myself, and be smart about staying up on my writing, but not over-committing.
How are you??
