Educate Yourself: April Wrap Up
on 05.05.2008
Sorry this wrap up for
Educate Yourself
is so late this month but I just got some time to do it so now I am. So here we are done with the first month of the Educate Yourself Club and Id like to report that it was a resounding success but it actually fell short a bit because of how busy my month was. We didnt get an FNF or Failcast spot and its really my fault for falling through on all this but this is a work in progress and this month I promise to try at least 1.1 times harder to actually make this happen. Other than these tiny, little, miniscule failures I would say the club was a resounding success in that (a.) I played through a classic game, (b.) other people actually wrote some posts up, (c.) I posted in the forums and (d.) I actually enjoyed it enough to continue on. So without further ado lets get the second month started
By talking about the first month!
I had never really played Kid Icarus beyond the third level of the first world. Once I started playing again I remembered why. That third level is ridiculously hard. In fact now that I have beaten the game, without any cheats (bow before me), Im will to say that that first level is the reason the entire game has a reputation for being insanely difficult. The rest of the game, while challenging, really isnt as hard. So in view of what the club is all about seeing why games are classics and learning about them Im going to discuss why
Kid Icarus
isnt that hard unless youre a bitch. Youre not a bitch are you?
To begin with well talk about the first world which is a vertical level in which pit must escape hell or Hades or whatever myth Nintendo wants to claim theyre actually basing the game on. This world is hard, the first level is challenging, the second is aggravating and the third had me fake throwing my controller at the screen like I hadnt done in years. Then after all this you get to a maze like castle with no direction and any power-ups youve gained removed, but more on that later. What makes these first levels so much more difficult than the rest of the game is that you dont have any upgrades and you wont be getting any really useful ones until after the first castle maze. Instead of realizing this and making the beginning of the game simpler than the rest the designers just kept the difficulty and a standard level throughout the whole thing. Thus once you do get more life and more powerful weapons via not playing like an idiot the game actually becomes progressively easier instead of harder. By the last vertical level before the final one I was pretty much charging through with enough upgrades to be pretty much invulnerable.
So some tips on getting past that first world. Most people have problems in these levels with falling since the levels are constantly creating new pits or repeatedly getting killed by the seemingly endless procession of annoying enemies. Jumping and falling I cant really help you with. You gots to have some sort of skills or wont be able to pay your bills, son. But the baddies, and subsequently your powering yourself up, are all a case of patience. The trick I found is that the bad guys do stop coming you just need to stand still and kill them all. Sometimes it takes a while, sometimes it doesnt. Either way you rack up points and you also get a bad guy free chunk of platform jumping until the next attack is triggered. The screen isnt scrolling up so there is absolutely no reason for you to jump upwards before you have to. The only time this strategy changes is when those fuckers come up from the bottom of the screen and start hopping all around. Then you run, you run and you dont look back until youve got a safe spot to snipe them from. So there, youre passed the third level of the first world and now all you have to do is find your way through the castle.
Which is a fucking pain in the ass and only really because of one simple reason. Eggplant wizards. Im not sure if there has ever been an enemy more aggravating than these guys simply because they dont just kill you, in fact I dont think I ever died directly from an Eggplant Wizards hand. No, instead they just render you useless, force you to travel back through a winding maze and find the Eggplant Curse Cure room, which you fucking forgot where it was because it was an hour ago and you werent paying attention then and there are about fifty bad guys between you and that stupid bitch who cures you and does jack shit else (I mean really you just turned me from an eggplant into a human and you cant give me some life!!?) and then you realize you went the wrong way and you have to go back through all that same shit again and once you get to where you think you need to be it turns out that that room doesnt actually connect so you go down one floor and end up in a room with a bunch of monsters you cant dodge because theyre flying around like maniacs with there stupid fucking single eyes or whatever and so your life gets drained to almost nothing but you make it through and you finally recognize where you are and you realize the cure room is right across the screen and there dont seem to be any monsters so you breathe a sigh of relief and then start walking but you forgot about the stupid, god damn purple flying snakes, that dont fucking fly, falling from the ceiling and just as youre about to get cured and everything is going to be OK cause once you have your arrow youll go reap your revenge on those bitch ass bad guys who attacked when you were clearly turned into a shithead purple vegetable, just before you reach that door, a snake falls on your head and you die and you have to start the entire flipping castle over and while you remember the first room and a few other rooms you really have no clue where the hell you are or what your doing so its really just like starting over from scratch, but instead of the three or four life bars you made it in with you only have two and the life filling pond is twenty rooms away and you know youll just have to meet up with some Eggplant Wizards and start the whole terrible cycle over again. Sorry, I had some aggravation built up there.
The point being patience will also get you through this. The patience to play that level 50 times over until youve memorized the correct path and dont mind running back and forth between the Eggplant Wizard who keeps hitting you, the Eggplant Curse Cure room and the golden pool of piss that heals your life. In fact once you have that route mastered youre pretty much invincible in the castles because you can just keep refilling your life and the game becomes much easier. Plus, usually the Eggplant Wizards signal that you are somewhere near an important room. All of this leads you to a castle boss which I find disappointing in every case because of the ease in which I defeated them. Even the final boss didnt stand up to the cruelty of the level design in this game.
Speaking of the final boss why does no one ever discuss the last level where Pitt busts out the old armor and wings and shield and the game suddenly becomes a shooter. A terrible, terrible shooter. I mean really. The controls are loose and sloppy, the enemies dont make sense and the level just repeats itself over and over (possibly until youve scored enough points, but I wasnt sure). Its like the people who were in charge of the first three levels decide to call it quits before the game was over because they realized they could never top the evil of the Eggplant Wizard so instead they just handed the game to a guy who thought it would be cool if blocks fell uselessly from the sky. Why take some of the most challenging platforming youre ever going to find and then ditch it for some half assed shooting. Maybe they figured no one was going to make it there.
So those are my main points for
Kid Icarus
. Basically I loved it once I got good at it but that last level. I will now join other gamers who have played through the game in cursing eggplants and their wizards and also wonder why there arent more games that scroll upwards constantly creating deadly traps below you. I mean really, that is an awesome game mechanic and it needs to be utilized more often.
Other Peoples Thoughts
Conrad Zimmerman wrote up a much more in depth look at the gameplay that I could ever do as part of his RetRose tinted stuff.
ZombiePlatypus rocked multiple parts of my world with his post which even included a cartoon. Hes still a bitch for using codes though cheater.
NWKopf wrote a bit up on playing the game with your keyboard. I dont know if this was actually in response to the club or not but it falls within the time guidelines.
You can hear people bitch about those first levels in the
if you like.
Again, Im sorry this kind of got away from me this month as I really didnt do a good job in keeping it fresh in everyones mind. I got a shit ton of new work to do but everything is ironed out now so this month Im going to keep on top of the forum post, were doing FNF and I will make my computer record sound if I have to kick it off a building so Failcast will also happen. Tomorrow or Wednesday, depending on work, Ill fill you in on what this months game is it starts with Splatter. No thats too obvious it ends with house.

PHILADELPHIA -- LeBron James brought out Philly's All-Stars, an MVP and a just-acquired Cy Young winner.
No one tops the King, however, in star power.
James gave Philly's famous fans something to remember with a pair of clutch 3s in the fourth quarter, scoring 36 points to lead the Cleveland Cavaliers to a 108-101 victory over the Philadelphia 76ers on Wednesday night.
Fast Facts
• The Cavaliers are 18-1 when scoring 95-plus points.
• The Sixers have lost 13 of 14 and are 0-4 following wins.
• Philly led 94-90 midway through the fourth but had one field goal in the final five minutes.
-- ESPN Stats & Information
"I think we have a team now where we know who we are," James said.
Phillies' ace Roy Halladay, acquired earlier in the day from Toronto, watched from a suite. Phillies slugger Ryan Howard, Flyers goalie Ray Emery and forward Mike Richards, and Eagles wide receiver DeSean Jackson all had tickets.
James had another James-type night against one of the worst teams in the NBA. He went 12 for 26 from the floor, got hot in the fourth and silenced another road crowd that packed the place just to watch him play.
Mo Williams hit back-to-back shots in the fourth that gave the Cavaliers a lead they would never relinquish and scored 12 points.
Andre Iguodala led the Sixers with 26 points, and Thaddeus Young and Allen Iverson each had 16. The Sixers have lost 13 of 14 games.
Iverson had his left knee drained before the game for the second time this week and will have an MRI on Thursday.
"This one's on me. I let us down tonight," Iverson said. "I feel bad, that's a game we should have won. We didn't make shots at the time we needed to make shots."
The crowd chanted "We Want A.I.!" with Iverson on the bench as the Sixers made a fourth-quarter charge that put them ahead against a team that has 13 more victories. Iguodala's 3-pointer with 5:50 left stretched the lead to 94-90.
But James came right back and sank his own 3. He then matter-of-factly hit another one that made it 96-all
James dished to Williams for a long jumper that gave the Cavs a 98-96 lead. Iguodala, who takes all the big shots for the Sixers, missed a 3 and Williams capitalized with a 3-pointer for a 101-96 lead.
The 3s were the first two field goals of the game for Williams, who was averaging 16.7 points.
"That's Mo," James said. "I've got 150 percent trust in Mo."
James stepped back for an 18-footer that all but sealed the win for the Cavaliers. They were coming off a 99-89 win over New Jersey on Tuesday night.
"LeBron James, being who he is, hit some big shots for us," coach Mike Brown said.
Iverson, Iguodala and Young brought the Sixers back from an early 12-point hole to take the lead in the third quarter.
Iverson put them up for the first time on a 19-footer from the wing that made it 68-67. He had an assist on one of Philadelphia's more dazzling plays of the season -- a running alley-oop pass from beyond the 3-point arc to a soaring Iguodala for the dunk and a 74-72 lead.
Daniel Gibson quickly quieted, and seated, the roaring crowd of 19,517 with a 3-pointer for the lead. The Cavaliers led 83-80 at the end of the third.
"No team is under .500 when they play us," James said. "Everybody plays well when they play against us."
Halladay had earned the loudest ovation before the A.I.-A.I. alley-oop. He received a standing ovation when he was introduced, and smiled and waved to the fans from his suite.
Sixers forward Marreese Speights played for the first time since he tore the MCL in his left knee on Nov. 14. Speights showed no sign of injury when he leaped off the court for a one-handed dunk in the fourth that cut the hole to 87-84.
Sixers forward Elton Brand was benched for the second straight game, and might be permanently there. Coach Eddie Jordan wants the smaller, quicker backcourt of Iverson and Jrue Holiday, and Young, Sam Dalembert and swingman Iguodala on the court.
Iguodala hurt his ribs in Monday's win, but looked sharp against the Cavs.
Brand has not complained about his role, though he feels he should be a starter. His three-point play in the middle of the fourth tied the game at 89.
Jordan used Brand at center in the fourth quarter. Brand still played 33 minutes and had 14 points.
He didn't sign a five-year deal in 2008 to ride the bench for a lousy team.
Game notes
Cavs G Delonte West scored four points in 23 minutes after he was inactive Tuesday night. ... The Cavaliers hit 9 3s. ... The Sixers are 0-15 when they've trailed by 10-plus points.

We have two worship services on Sunday mornings at our church, each with its distinctive type of music. The 9:15 service is "contemporary" with full-volume band and drums, hand clapping, and songs often heard on current Christian radio. I love that service; so do a lot of other people. Yes, it's our more highly attended service. We could never do away with that service in that style. God uses it in a mighty way. Read More»
I can think of no better way to start this New Year than to affirm our regular attendance in our houses of worship. I put first importance on our spiritual wellbeing, but did you know that scientific research has indicated many physical and emotional benefits as well?
An article on scribd.com reported on 52 reasons to go to church, including full references to the scientific research. I'll share just what we have room for here. Read More»
Christmas is so full of wonder, meaning and tradition. But, where did all these things that we now call "Christmas" come from? I turned to one of my favorite websites, crosswalk.com, and found a good bit of information on this topic. I'll share some of it with you here. Read More»
Yesterday, Nov. 11, was Veterans Day, and so we rise again to honor all who have served in our United States military. Thank you. God bless you. I thought it important to remember the history of Veterans Day and to share a prayer.
The History Channel website reminds us that on the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month of 1918, an armistice, or temporary cessation of hostilities, was declared between the Allied nations (including the U.S.) and Germany in World War I, then known as "the Great War." Read More»

What I will do here today is share with you what Pastor Gary presents as he talks about the growing and vital need for this ministry. Read More»
The book and movie Heaven Is For Real is the true story of Colton Burpo, the four-year-old son of a small-town Nebraska pastor. After surviving emergency surgery, he begins talking about being able to look down and see the doctor operating and his dad praying in the waiting room. He also describes being in heaven, seeing God, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit, and meeting long-dead family members. Read More»

To her and to all nurses we extend our honor, appreciation, and gratitude. Read More»
One of my favorite events of ministry within the life of our church is our annual trek with kids and youth to summer church camp. We go to our Lutheran camp near Asheville, N.C., in the beautiful Blue Ridge Mountains. It is appropriately named Lutheridge. Many church denominations have camps in that same area.
As you read the Citizen today, I am blessed to be in the middle of our week at Lutheridge right now. Having come here with campers for over 30 years, I can give you an almost exact account of our week, even though I'm writing this before we leave. Read More»
Christmas and Easter. The "biggies," right?
Well, what about the event we will "celebrate"tomorrow, which happens to be the 40th day after Easter?
Yes, it was 40 days after Christ's resurrection that He ascended back into heaven, the event we call "The Ascension."
News flash: it's a "biggie," too.
Bishop John Bradosky of our North American Lutheran Church shared an intriguing reflection on Christ's ascension and its meaning for us today, the bulk of which I will pass on to you here with his blessing. I have had to edit and omit some portions to fit this column. Read More»

SHARON, Pa. -- City council has approved the transfer of a liquor license from Farrell to Sharon, clearing the way for former football star Lorenzo Styles to open a restaurant and lounge on East Budd Street.
Plans: Styles, who played football at Farrell and later at the college and National Football League levels, plans to convert the former Veterans of Foreign Wars Post at 395 E. Budd St. into Styles' Restaurant & amp; Lounge Inc.
He plans to secure a liquor license available in Farrell and transfer it into Sharon, a practice the state allows when the receiving municipality -- Sharon in this case -- approves the plan.
Council did so Monday, adding its best wishes that Styles succeed with his venture.
Atty. Steve Mirizio, representing Styles, said the project includes more than $60,000 in interior and exterior renovations on the building.
The city's zoning board of appeals granted Styles a variance last week to allow him to use the building as a restaurant and lounge.

"Words That Changed Me"
_a record of the process_
My dad has taught me a lot of great things over the years just leading by example. One thing that I really admire about him is how if he gets something nice – like a new car – he never makes a big deal about it. Don't get me wrong, I get excited about new purchases, but I always aim to be conscious of other people's feelings before I blurt it out at an unthoughtful time or brag too much.
That's probably why you may not have heard about our new car… yet.
I've been wanting a new car for a few years, but I could never really justify the purchase. First I lived in DC and barely needed a car at all, then I wasn't making enough money to add a car payment to our monthly bills if I still wanted to be able to put something in savings. It just wasn't time.
I'm proud of myself for hanging onto my 2000 Ford Focus for so long, and Bret drove his faithful 2003 Subaru Forrester for just as many years. Both of our cars were still running – thankfully – but whenever we've needed to drive to Virginia or DC or Pennsylvania, I've worried a bit. I wished we had something a little more modern and a little safer. Since we may be moving north, we wanted something with 4 wheel drive for snow and ice and maybe some warm heated seats, too.
When Bret's 30th birthday was coming up, I jokingly told him that I was going to go to a dealership and buy him a new car.
Turns out.
That's exactly what we did.
We said were just browsing, but after a couple trips to Subaru, Bret had fallen in love with a 2015 Subaru Legacy, and after some number crunching and late night talking, we decided to put in an offer.
I impressed Bret with my haggling skills. I didn't back down when the finance guy practically shouted at me (don't worry – it was all part of the game). When we finally got the price in a range that we were comfortable with, we agreed to make the purchase. Within just a couple hours, we were signing papers.
We decided to trade in Red, Bret's Subaru Forrester that he's been driving for, well, as long as I've known him and several years before that. While we were waiting for our appointment with the finance guy (first time car buyers, let me say this, prepare to spend an entire day in the dealership), I decided we needed to take some pictures with Red because, well, this was the last time that we'd see the car. I try not to be overly emotional or attached to inanimate things, but it was a little sad saying goodbye to this car that drove me to some of our first Harrisonburg dates, to countless conferences, and to Disney World about 30 times over the past few years.
Yes, the time came to say goodbye to Red,
…and hello to Sparky:
The day we bought Sparky, we went for a drive through some beautiful Tallahassee canopy roads.
It was a good day.
We love all the new features like these subtle blue interior lights that show up at night…
…but mostly we love that Sparky gets great gas mileage, is reliable, and is full of extra safety features like knee airbags. Sparky, thanks for coming into our life when you did. It's "our" first car that we own together. We are grateful to drive you every day, and hope to have you for many years to come.
Read MoreJanuary has been jam-packed full of crazy. Work has been more than a little overwhelming for me, and Bret has been traveling for interviews, plus teaching, dissertating, you know. It's a temporary season, thankfully, but so far these 2015 days have been non-stop exhausting. I've been on an endless reel of work late, help Bret prep for his next interview/presentation/class, crash and wake up early in an attempt to work on my novel (…but I usually just started working on work). It's not our preferred pace of life. That's probably why I ended up with the flu.
I didn't want this busy season to pass us by with nothing pleasant to remember it by. So. A few weeks ago, I realized Bret and I would both have MLK, Jr. day off of work, so I suggested spending this 3-day weekend in Disney World. (This is our last few months as Disney Annual Passholders, and I don't want them to go to waste!) Originally, I thought this was going to be a good time for a trip. I thought that things would slow down a bit, but they didn't. When the actual weekend arrived, I wasn't sure how Bret was going to react to having this mini vacay sandwiched between so much travel and craziness.
Well, I should have known… he would be thrilled.
After Bret flew in at midnight on a Friday, we slept in until about 7:30 on Saturday, and then hit the road. Being able to hop on the road and drive to the happiest place on earth is one of our favorite Florida things. I just can't describe it.
We arrived before check-in, so we left our things in the car at the hotel, and walked over to Epcot.
Yes, walked. I got a found discount staying for two nights at the Swan which is within walking distance of Epcot and Disney's Hollywood Studios. A dream come true, I tell you.
I had everything planned out. We say we're spontaneous with our Disney days, but truthfully, once we get there, we so often end up doing our same favorite things over and over. That's fine – I think – but it kind of makes all of our day trips run together. This time, I wanted us to try new things and make new memories, so I'd made a list of a few attractions and dining options we hadn't tried before, narrowed them down, organized them by park, and made a Fedule. (This is what my sister and I call a "fun" "schedule" — a fedule.")
We had lunch somewhere we've been wanting to try for a while: the Spice Road Table! Most of the restaurant is open-air (or, at least the part we had seen before was), but we got to sit inside which was really pretty and really nice.
We considered each getting a "small plate." They range in price from $7-$12 and include thing like mussels, omelets, greek salad, brie fondue, hummus and pita… Nicole food, basically. I was hoping to sample a few things, so I was really happy that Bret was interested in sharing a the Mediterranean Vegetable Platter which included:
It may not look like a lot, but it was surprisingly filling and not too expensive since we shared it. We were happy to spend the rest of the afternoon walking around the countries at Epcot. We realized we had never watched the Circle Vision movie in China, so we did. We wandered around the Japan store because Bret loves it. It was relaxing, fun, perfect. Then we went back to the hotel to check in, relax, and get ready for dinner.
For the most part, we kept our meals light (and cheap): sharing a Mickey pretzel and lemonade or eating a burrito out of a food truck at downtown Disney, but I picked one special dinner that we were really looking forward to: BOMA!
Boma – Flavors of Africa is a huge buffet at the Animal Kingdom Lodge.
I wanted to go to Animal Kingdom, we didn't really have time, but I did REALLY want to check out the Animal Kingdom Lodge and this was the perfect way to do it. We took a bus from our hotel to the Animal Kingdom park, and then from the Animal Kingdom park to the Animal Kingdom Lodge. The whole exterior is lush greenery and it just makes me feel happy and peaceful. Check out the Animal Kingdom Lodge lobby:
I'd read that there were tons of vegetarian options, which is always a big selling point for me, but I was especially eager to get to try and sample a bunch of new flavors without having to pay for an entire plate that I may not like. I love buffets. I was excited to graze on brand new flavors and… also… I wanted to go to the gift shop.
I love giraffe hugs.
Here's a quick sampling of the menu:
And of course there were tons of delicious entrees. They had familiar stuff like: Pork Shoulder, Ribs, Roasted Chicken, Beef Striploin, and one of my favorites: almond-crusted roasted Salmon. I was intrigued to see a variety of stuff I'd never heard of: Mater Paneer, Fufu, and Pap and Chakalaka – a south African vegetable relish that I dipped everything in. It was so good!
I know that just looks like a heaping pile of food. That's the thing with buffets, I just pile everything on. It was just so good! Except for the soup.
Here's the thing, because there were so many choices, I encouraged Bret to only get one pour of a soup, to try it, and then go back and get more if he likes it. Did I take my own advice? No. Why? Some guy warned me about the soup as I was filling my bowl. He said it was terrible. I thought – I'm sure I'll like this. Too bad you don't have an appetite for things that are good for you like carrots and ginger.
It was horrible. I don't even know why. It was just too ginger-y for me, and I love ginger. It was awful. I ate most of it, anyway, because I felt wasteful leaving it there. That was the ONLY non-delicious thing I tasted, though, and I washed it down with my delicious jamberry wine.
Of course, the unlimited desserts were also so yummy. We decided to share this whole plate…
And that was our whole night.
Just kidding!
Bret realized the Magic Kingdom was open until 1AM, so I became SO EXCITED. I was SURE I was finally going to get to ride this 7 Dwarfs Mine Train ride I'd been trying to get a Fast Pass for for 3 months. Unfortunately, there was still a 110 minute wait. Two hours. At 11PM. ARE YOU KIDDING ME?! It was not a joke.
I was a little bummed, but you could still find us frolicking around enjoying everything from the Flying Dumbo ride to a spontaneous dance party:
…Actually that dance party was at Epcot from the next night. I just thought the pictures went together so I put them next to each other and rewrote history.
The point of it all, we were happy:
And that was just the first day!
Next came my other favorite day, Magic Kingdom day. You see, Bret's idea to go to the Magic Kingdom was not on the Fedule, so, we got to go TWICE! We ate some snacks in the room for breakfast, and then we caught a bus over to the Magic Kingdom.
We rode the People Mover and watched a happy little castle musical. And we rode The Little Mermaid.
For lunch, I'd read about this "hidden gem" – a sit down restaurant with counter service prices called The Plaza. What a dream! The thing is, you HAVE to have a reservation… so I made one make one the day before. It was completely, completely, completely worth it.
The 100th customer of the day got a free dessert. We were not the 100th customer, so we bought our own dessert. Banana Split!
It was so good. We spent the rest of the afternoon enjoying the park.
Then we walked over to Disney's Hollywood Studios (we walked about 20,000 steps this day), used our Fast Passes to ride Toy Story, went back to the hotel and then…
…spent the night at Downtown Disney!
We basically never go to Downtown Disney and I'm so glad we did. I don't have any pictures, but we enjoyed walking around and popping into all the shops. I got a free sample of chocolate …or two We found this little food truck area and ate some burritos while we listened to this awesome guitar player sing and take requests from the crowd. This little 3-year-old sitting next to me ran up and requested, "Somewhere Over the Rainbow" and I just about crid.
My favorite part of the night? Well, other than that kid's song request? We went in the Christmas shop and bought our souvenir: a 2015 Disney Ornament to hang on our tree!!! I already packed it up for next year, but I love it. I can't wait to see it hanging on our tree in our new home in our new city.
It's been a week. We're back home and things are still busy and uncertain and kind of crazy most of the time, but I'm so glad we got away for this special trip. I hope, next year this time, when I'm thinking back to January 2015, I'll disregard the flu and the work stress and Bret's job search uncertainty and, instead I'll think of this epic Disney weekend.
Read MoreAt the beginning of 2014, I remember feeling trapped. I lived in a wonderful city with the best partner, but I absolutely loathed my job.
I know a lot of people don't love their jobs, but my job stressed me so much that I couldn't "leave it at the door" when I got home. I felt worried and overworked and grumpy most of the time. I dreaded every morning. I dreaded a convention that was literally 10 months away. It wasn't good.
Last January, during the first full moon of the new year, my yoga instructor encouraged my class to light a candle and welcome the unexpected changes this year with an open heart.
I didn't do that.
At this point, I had given up on pep talks. Instead, I looked down at my 10 fingers and assigned each one a month. My 1st finger was "January" and my 10th finger represented October – my LAST convention before Bret would graduate and we'd get to move to a new city. I resolved to have a better attitude. I can do this, I thought. I just need to get to November 2014.
Even though it was a pretty effective coping mechanism – breaking the year into manageable chunks so I could track my progress – I'm here to tell you that approaching a new year as something that I had merely had to "get through" was a horrible strategy. I had a whole year of possibilities in front of me, but I'd already made up my mind that 2014 was just a big long countdown to get rid of. I wish I could have told myself that I'd be getting some exciting news in March, a new job in June, and that I'd never even have to go to another dreaded convention. I didn't know.
I couldn't have known, but I could have tried harder to change my attitude. Looking back, the whole year flew by. When I started to write my recap, I drew a blank. I had to turn to my Instagram account which faithfully tracks my year through pictures.
Now that I'm looking back, 2014, the year I wanted to be over, was actually a pretty neat year.
I'm not listing off all of these things to brag about my year. I hope it doesn't seem that way. On a personal level, the year was a good one. I got to go on a cruise and a visit a bunch of cities on work trips that I'd never seen before and I'm so grateful for that. There were some unexpected challenges, too. And there was loss and heartbreak and frustration and so many moments of longing for peace and understanding.
This year was really just a good reminder that I have no idea what's going to happen half the time. I didn't think I'd find a way to leave my Florida job before 2015, but I did. I didn't think I'd get to see my family so much, but I did. When I was grumping around and wishing the year would go by quickly, I could have been focusing on the things I had control over and feeling grateful for all the good things. So, thanks, 2014. Thanks for being good to me even though I had a terrible attitude about you.
Last January, I decided that 2014 was going to be a "get through" year, and I wish I hadn't done that. I wish I had done something my yoga instructor had encouraged me to do on January 16:
light a candle and welcome the unexpected changes this year with an open heart
Good thing I have a whole new year to apply this philosophy. This year promises to have a lot of big changes including new city to call home and a new job for Bret. There are sure to be some challenges, but I'm ready for them.
I don't have a concrete resolution this year, really, but I'm resolving to spend more time away from my phone and social media. I want to be present and intentional and available to live in the moments I'm given. I want to listen to more music and read more books. I want to finish my novel and submit it for publication, too.
Cheers to 2015! I'm ready to welcome the unexpected changes with an open heart.
Read MoreAt the beginning of November, I wrote about my NanoWrimo project where I planned to write an entire novel (50,000 words) in one month. I knew it was ambitious, but I knew I wanted to try. I started from scratch and aimed to write 2,000 words a day.
After a whole month, I made it halfway there:
You can see that I was right on par for the first few days, my work trip to Chicago threw off my progress, but I picked it up again for a week or two, and then gave up and flat-lined for a week before giving it a decent (pretty pathetic, actually) effort at the end of my Thanksgiving holiday.
What I'm saying is I really didn't try THAT hard, and, still, I wrote half a novel!
Part of me wishes that I had pushed through, write 5,000 words/day on weekends, gone to write in coffee shop "write-ins" with other NanoWrimo-ers in Tallahassee, and made it to 50,000 words. That certainly would have felt victorious, but I am proud of the progress I made.
In one month, I composed nearly 50 single spaced typed pages – that's huge! I'm really impressed with what I was able to accomplish and I haven't stopped writing just because November is over. The biggest takeaway from this project is that little changes over time can make a BIG difference. I didn't write for the first 8 days of December because I was feeling like the "big push" was over, but if I had written only 1,000 words a day, I would be up to 35,000 by now. I've made myself get up at 5:30 to squeeze in some writing time the past two mornings, and now I'm already up to 27,717 words.
I could easily hit 50,000 by the end of December if I average just over 1,000 words/day. I probably will not do this because I'll be spending some holiday time with family, but I've set a personal goal to hit 50,000 by the end of January. This feels like an awesome way to kick off a new year! I really like the storyline that I'm working on, and if I have a complete draft by the beginning of January, I should absolutely have time to edit extensively and finally submit my first manuscript for publication in 2015.
I've learned that putting goals in writing is really helpful (and, in fact, the only way that works for me) so I'm writing it down:
And that gives me a whole month of wiggle room until I start my next novel. I know it's ambitious, but I also think it's very doable. I'm pretty excited about it.
Here's to making 2015 the year of the novel.
Read MoreHappy Thanksgiving!
This was our last Thanksgiving in Tallahassee. Since we moved to Florida, we've still been able to celebrate Thanksgiving with family, but this year, it was just the two of us. When I think about Thanksgiving, I usually imagine lots of family and lots of food (not to mention the potentially miserable travel conditions). To be honest, when I first realized it was going to be "just us" this year, the whole idea of Thanksgiving-for-two had me feeling a little sad, but Bret comforted me by saying this would probably be one of our only Thanksgivings like this, and now that it's all said and done, I can tell you we really enjoyed this special, simple holiday.
We watched the Macy's Thanksgiving Day parade together in the morning. We were going to have a quick breakfast before it started – some fruit or cereal – but we were low on both. I was disappointed that Bret finished off the cereal while I was in the shower, but, not to worry, he just whipped up an avocado omelet for me.
Isn't he the best?! It was delicious and so thoughtful and it made me feel happy and comfortably full so we weren't in a rush to cook our big meal.
When choosing our Thanksgiving menu, Bret had one request: mashed potatoes. I wanted cranberry sauce and pie. Over the past couple of years we made turkey, tofurkey, quinoa stuffing, green bean casserole, butternut squash, and a bunch of different sides. This year, we wanted yummy food with minimal work. This is what we came up with…
I made cranberry sauce and apple pie – both from scratch.
Bret made mashed potatoes from scratch, and cornbread, too.
And then we baked the delicious (meatless!) holiday roast and microwaved some frozen Brussels sprouts.
Boom, Thanksgiving is served.
…with apple pie and vanilla ice cream for dessert:
The whole meal was sweet and simple and stress-free. We are happy to have lots of leftovers just for us.
After we ate, I convinced Bret to set up the camera so we could take a family Thanksgiving/Christmas photo. I just thought we needed one. Never mind the fact that I already ordered our Christmas cards last week … just consider this our Thanksgiving picture…with a Christmas tree in the back ground…
And then came my favorite part: reading all of the entries from our Grateful Jar. This is a new tradition I started last year. I put a jar out on November 1, cut out some pretty scrapbook pages to write on, and then we write down things we're grateful for all month, keep the in the jar, and read them all on Thanksgiving Day.
I like to read them all at once, spread them out on the table, and look for trends. To sum up, this year I'm grateful for my sister, texting my sister, phone calls with my sister, and the fact that my sister is visiting me in Tallahassee soon. (Hi Mallory!)
I'm also grateful for:
Now, we're watching Modern Family and relaxing and loving this holiday. I hope you all had a happy thanksgiving with your families and friends. Bret and I can not wait to see BOTH of our families next month!
Read MoreAlright. Considering I've been to Chicago and back for another work trip since I started writing about this Dallas airport mishap, I think it's time to finish.
So after being grounded because of a storm, and then having to spend the night in Dallas, I was confident that I would make it home on my newly booked afternoon flight.
After spending the night in a hotel, I woke up feeling happy and well-rested. I ate a complimentary breakfast, asked for late check out, and started teleworking from my hotel desk. The morning was going swell …until I found out that Tallahassee was experiencing a flash flood and Tornado Warning. Bret texted me to let me know he was home and taking care of the cats, in fact, he was trapped in our bathroom with both of them for the duration of the Tornado Warning. I missed him, and I wanted to get home, so I hoped the weather would pass soon.
I caught the free shuttle to the airport at noon. I had three hours before my flight so after I went through security, I was looking for a good place to eat. I couldn't find anything with quality vegetarian options in my terminal, but by now I really had this non-alphabetical tram memorized (seriously – I'd explained it to newbies multiple times). When I realized my gate didn't have any good veggie options, I remembered a Bennigan's in D, so I hopped on the tram for the 724th time:
And ended up getting a really yummy salad:
I'd hoped everything would be smooth and normal while I waited for my flight.
Instead, things were weird and disorganized. Other flights were delayed. There were multiple gate changes. One pilot and flight attendant were confused about what plane they were getting on and where they were flying to. At some point there was a mechanical problem and a plane had to de-board. When they made it back to the waiting area, there was an annoucement about having to go to another terminal to board another flight and that they could board with their photo ID if they lost their boarding passes.
I struck up a conversation with other passengers who had been waiting to get home for 24 hours as well. Most of them were in good spirits. When I realized how many people were flying standby and waiting for a seat, I was glad I booked when I did. Everyone who waited on the flight last night couldn't get a spot on this flight because it was already full. I was just so grateful to have a ticket with a seat number on it.
When it got close to time for me to board, I really thought my flight was going to get delayed. All the signs were there: an unstaffed gate, the crackle of the announcement speaker with no annoucement to follow, and then the flight disappeared from the flight board. I was preparing to be disappointed. There's nothing you can do. Stay calm. You will be home eventually.
I was worried, though. So much so that I literally cut my hand open while trying to open a water bottle that I had bought for my flight. It would not open. I took it back to the store where I'd purchased it and said it was "defective" but the guy in line behind me was able to open it. Great. I still had a napkin wrapped over my bleeding hand.
Clearly, stress was getting the best of me. It worked out, though. Our plane arrived and we were allowed to board. It was a small plane and I felt spoiled rotten to have one of those seats on the "one" row — it doubled as a window AND aisle seat
When I sat on my seat, though, it leaned forward and the whole cushion came out. Something was wrong. I tried to fix it, but I noticed a little piece was missing, and then I noticed the other seats had little straps that mine did not have. I thought about saying something to a flight attendant, but I realized that this was the ONLY seat on the plane that wasn't taken. It was my only way home. So, I said absolutely nothing.
See the bandaid? Don't worry. That's from my water bottle, not the seat.
And then, within only a few minutes, we were up in the air.
I loved being able to see the shadows on the ground from all these little puffy (storm-free) clouds:
I could not have been happier to see that Tallahassee "skyline" in the distance:
I made it I was so happy to home. And now I'm even happier because I don't have any more trips planned in 2014. Let the most wonderful time of the year begin…

The energy that the performers demonstrated can only be admiired and complimented. It is one of the best live performances that I have experienced in years. I give thanks for the entire production staff for having put together such a fantastic production. My hat is off to the young lady that sang "Amazing Grace."

About the Ticket Supplier: Warner Theatre
The Warner's special place in the history of Washington began in the 1920s when dozens of grand theaters and moviehouses lit up downtown. Built first for vaudeville and silent movies, the Theatre was opened as the Earle Theatre in 1924.
The Earle switched to a movies-only policy in 1945 and in 1947, owner Harry Warner, one of the Hollywood's Warner Brothers, visited Washington and told his tour guide Julian Brylawski (one of the original builders) that since he owned the theatre, his name should be on the marquee. Thus the Earle Theatre became the Warner Theatre.

The monkeys, vines and banana frame were handcut from an old sheet of 8.5 x 11 pp. The 3 bananas in the bottom corner were cut with the Cricut, inked and doodled. The I added the sticker leaves and the word sticker. The border punch is by Fiskars and the outer edges were cut with deco scissors. Then I added little doodles around the title and along the borders. The title was cut with the Silhouette that I got from my sister, Susan (sgoetter) --- I need more lessons on how to use it!

Charities have combined to launch an appeal today for funds to help 13.2 million Ethiopians left in need of food aid because of devastating drought. The east African nation is struggling with poverty and disease after almost two decades of poor rainfall and tragedies such as the famine of 1984-85.
The drought has officially broken but many river beds and vast plains remain dry and the rainy season is over. Weakened by a lack of food, many Ethiopians are vulnerable to disease. In a country where 490,000 children die before the age of five, malaria and tuberculosis are common killers. Nearly three million people have HIV-AIDS, and almost 1 million children have been orphaned, according to UNAIDS. Without help, the cruel cycle of suffering, disease and poverty is likely to continue.
• To donate to the appeal by Oxfam Community Aid Abroad and Anglicord: Call 1800 034 034. Phone lines are open today Donations of more than $2 are tax-deductible.Print this article Email to a friend | Top |

I got the SLE frame out today using the bend and pull method. Very different beast with the thin flexible race rods. If the winds blowing the Blast is a riot. Thanks again for the help!

12 November 2011 - 10:05 AM
Thanks! I'd watched the video before on frame replacement, but didn't know if it was okay to push the ends of the larger rods with the smaller diameter race rods. The center rod didn't want to move doing the bend and pull method, but maybe I'm just being overly cautious of breaking a ferrel or tearing the sail. I'm assuming they're the right length since they just came with the kite but will be sure to check before hand. Thanks again for the help!
