I think it is pretty amazing how quickly one can fall out of a habit.

I haven't been able to wake up at 5am like I used to do, maybe the time change + this damn cold, and so everything has fallen out of order. No workout. No breakfast. No lunch. Sleep late. Rinse, repeat.
Hmm. Am pondering on that one for a minute.

So what do I need to do to get back on my exercise kick? It doesn't help that the weight is dropping off anyway, since I am not eating. Although, I did, might have, maybe overindulged a tiny bit this weekend. Am not telling!

I thought the horrible lunch I had yesterday will kick me into gear. It certainly made me not want to eat dinner last night, but at the last minute I started starving. BUT I didn't give into gari and sugar. Am too proud of me. I actually ate my baby carrots, which were sweet and refreshing and made a tuna tortilla wrap. LOL. Don't ask. It was all I had in the house. I really need to go food shopping.

Actually, I have some random random that I threw together the other day. Cabbage, chicken, and tomatoes. It was really good. Don't make that face. LOL.  That will be my lunch for today.

So my chair, I saw this divine fabric at Hobby Lobby but by the time all is said and done, I would have to spend $60 for the fabric.It was really really nice though.  I should go visit Joann's Fabric and see what they have, and for how much.

I also finally return my library book to the library. Do not ask. And I did not read that dumb book either. I don't know why, even in the midst of my boredom, I couldn't get past the first page. I don't think I gave that poor book a chance. Anyway, they do have some upholstery books, ironically all at the branches closer to my house so maybe this weekend, I will find the library, pay my fine (scream) and take out the book and start studying this thing.

I also think that I will stain my trunk and make a seat for it. Just don't know what color yet. If I had skills, I want a black top with bright white piping with tufting. Oooh, I found a simple DIY. All I need is a staple gun. But am not going to be able to do piping. Hmm.

I tried to write yesterday. I know there is no such thing as a block and I should write through it, but I couldn't get into the groove. I know what needs to be done to get it done. I just need to do it.

I don't even have a title. I haven't been waking up with a song in my head these days...

Writing Life

Last time I discussed my writing, I was moaning about how overwhelmed I felt about editing. Well, this past week I stopped whining and consulted my expert researcher Ms/Mr Google - s/he is an hermaphrodite- and discovered a nifty book called Self Editing for Fiction Writers by Renni Browne and Dave King. This book is so on fire that it impacted my writing before I even received it. How do I mean? Well, I read an excerpt of the first chapter online and realized what was wrong with my own first chapter right away. In a word -well several words- I was explaining too much and not letting the characters live. I was giving all kinds of background and history and what not. A whole lot of info that had me saying in my nephew's voice: "who cares?" I guess the avid reader in me knew the problem all along, but the writer in me resisted deleting a single word. I mean those words were agonized over and carefully chosen by committee. I was loathe to let even one of them go. But I ...

2013 already!

I can't believe my last post was in November. Despite my good intentions, December was a wasteland in terms of my writing and life goals. I moved to my new apartment, came down with the flu or rather an influenza like illness, and have just been so blah. The cold weather is not helping either. I really cannot stand the cold, it tends to sap my energy. As always, I have a few goals for the new year. I already feel all kinds of stressed because it is already Janaury 4th and I haven't made any moves. I did do one half hearted workout the other day but it was bitter cold. I could actually feel the cold going through my hoodie, my t-shirt, my skin, my bones and grabbing my heart and lungs and squeezing them to death.  I scurried back home and vowed to buy some winter gear. Total mileage 1.6 miles. Yeah pitiful. My goals this year are simple: 1. Get with God and just delight myself in Him. Ps 37:5. I want to be serious about my walk with God this year. I promised myself last ...

The Cheat Reflex

Wunmi looked in on her mother and her two sister in laws, Bukky, the wife of her older brother and Kike. They smiled at her briefly and concentrated on their task at hand. She greeted her mother. “Pele Wunmi. How was church?” “It was good mommy.” “I thank God for Sunday because that's the only time we see you in this house.” “Yes ma.”  She said. Wunmi could see from the look on her mother's face, and the subdued way her sisters in law had greeted her, that her mother was on the war path again. She wondered briefly what they had done to her mother this time. She thought that her mom was just too hard on her brothers' wives, after all they were someone's daughters as well. Ironically, she didn't like it when her youngest sister Feyisayo was mistreated by her mother in law. African women. A bundle of contradictions. Wunmi stayed in the kitchen briefly, hoping that her presence would lessen the tension somewhat. But, after a while, she couldn't ...
