Pre. P. S. Yes I know my tags aren’t working ….working on that…
God I don’t even know where to start. Tonight is one of those nights were I don’t really want to do an entry yet I have a billion and one things I want to discuss. It’s the process I don’t want to do…not the sharing. Blogging is becoming much more important to me, especially with my new found possible way of reaching some of my goals. I’m really glad I’m getting back into it. I know at Girl2 a lot I felt like I couldn’t talk about some things some times or that it was to personal or that people wouldn’t care or want to hear it. I guess when it went more commercial I put less of ME into it despite the fact that that was what we were selling.
Like I told someone earlier, we haven’t given up on Girl2. We will do photo shoots, get up a forum maybe where we can discuss stuff….what I have no idea…and it will be a common stream for the branches of our blogs. Not every blog will be filtered into there so sadly I think you’ll still need to monitor KD and the others but for the random stranger I guess it will be enough of a taste to let them decide if they want to devote time to the actual blog or not.
One thing I’m hoping you guys can help me with is the fact that I have a lot I want to write on. I’m probably going to be writing every day if for nothing else then “what I did that day”. So the question becomes…do I do one huge long book like post of everything for that day…or do I split them up? Make multiple posts if the need arises. For example…in Atlas Shrugged I’ve found a few paragraphs I’d like to talk about. Should I really divide one blog entry into sections with that being one part of it? Or do I simply make it it’s own entry? You guys are the ones who read it…would the multiple posts bother you? Let me know.
Didn’t really get to do much on fleshing out the lists today. I did however decide I needed to make a binder for them all. It’s probably going to be the “How to do Kimi’s job” manual. LOL I’m glad I’m keeping a book near me to write stuff down as I think of it. Often lately by the time I pick up the pen I’ve moved on to another thought and can’t remember what I wanted to remind myself to do. How I ever got anything done I’ll never know. Oh wait…I know…I didn’t!
I also realized today that the problem with me looking like I don’t do stuff is that lets say we take an hour of my time…in that hour I’ve done so much multitasking while I’m doing what I’m doing…it’s really damn hard to follow the trail of what I did. Speaking to Lexi it turns out that I start a task and then come up with 5 cascading tasks that have to be done to do the first one…then go backwards to finish the first one. Let’s draw a chart to show you want I mean….I apparently do “stream of consciousness multitasking”.
As I’m doing the stat counter I realize I need to check the links for chat and then I realize I need the url and then I realize I need to check if it works, and then I gotta talk to the “fans”, so that means I have to install java to check it and then I get the url nailed down that works, and get the link back up so I can go back to check the stats.
By the time I’m done…I’ve spent an hour clicking around between 8 different things all while looking at blogs while I wait for pages to cycle and stuff and it looks like I really didn’t do much. Does that make sense? Anyway, that’s the deal with trying to follow along on what I’ve done some days. I figured this out because I wanted to write down what I did so when I posted I could put it in here. So…all that came from trying to lable what I’d done.
Moving on, I think tonight’s post is just gonna be that tidbit of info and the list of what I did today. I’ll write tomorrow on one of the other billion and one things on my mind to tell you about. The good news is that I AM writing them down so I don’t forget I want to talk about it or what IT is.
Today’s Events
I finally got to sleep last night around 3 after desperately wanting to go to bed since 12. The amusing part was that from midnight to 3 I was doing non-required stuff that I just wanted to do. Stuff like talking to people and getting KD syndicated to LJ. (Go here if you have a LJ and want this syndicated to your friends list). Thank you Brandon! So I got to bed and made my morning wake up call to Daddy on time. He called back about an hour later to tell me he was on the road and ended up talking to me for like an hour about an idea he had. I really enjoyed the conversation because I felt like I really contributed to helping him flesh out his idea.
He let me go to back to bed and I got to sleep until he came home a few hours later. I so didn’t want to get out of bed but it really only took me about half an hour to wake up and be ok. He brought me Burger King and I made sure not to eat too many fries. I did drink my Coke though. It’s my guilty pleasure and what’s keeping me from bindging. He wanted to take me to see XXX:State of the Union so he had me check times and we did some work until it was time to go.
List: update to do lists, install FeedDeamon, enter some feeds to track, write list of who to pay, when it’s due, and how much. Wrote an email to Daddy with my suggestions and updates for paying the bills. Figured out how much we’d have to spend on bills with this check and what he’d have left to spend until the next one. Went to pick up his Mom from work then took a check to the bank. More brainstorming on his idea. Made a “Daddy todo list” so he knows what I need from him (only on paper though). Went to the movie then to Staples to return a headset and get a new one for Daddy. Ended up getting Vanage after helping Daddy decide about it. Got home and made him dinner (which was made mostly already). Watched Top Model and ogled my Top Model Series 1 DVD that came courtesy of a friend (Thank you!). Updated KD with my moblog pictures and added my stat counter so I can track hits to KD. Did my 20 min elliptical (which I struggled through the last 15 of…I lied to myself A LOT on this one). Read my chapter of Atlas Shrugged and did my situps and pushups. Needed Daddy’s encouragement for the last 25. God those sucked! Made him a snack, got me a snack, then came to work on KD a bit, read my feeds, chat with fans and friends, help a friend with a task she needed to complete, talked to 007 about a book idea he has a little with a date to talk more about it later. Did some more talking with Daddy and learned a few new html tips and tricks. Learned a little more about our data storage system and how to update it. And I THINK that’s it.
