So...

It's been a while since I've blogged, so forgive the confusion, the virtual dust, etc. I'm trying to make everything back to normal!

Tomorrow is my birthday, which gives me one year to finish my 1183 Days List, which is basically a bucket list, for while I'm still alive to enjoy it. Heh. The list is outdated, we've bought a house since I last updated it (wow!), I bought a camera last month (still figuring it out), and so much more, so I'll be updating that a little at a time. I'm hopeful that I'll still clear out the list by this time next year, so we'll see what happens!

My other plans for this blog are the same as before, me trying to make art (I just got two big boxes of paint gifted to me, so that was a nice boost!), and trying to write. And of course, reading and reviewing books!

I've gone ahead and signed up for OwlCrate, to make reading a surprise and more exciting than my usual life. I've heard nothing but good reviews about them, so I have high hopes. I'm also back to doing reviews through Goodreads and NetGalley, which is awesomely giving me lots of eBooks to review!

So lots to look forward to, and hopefully I don't flop out again!

1183 Days - #148 - Own a fitbit (or similar)

My sister actually got me this Sony Smartband! Similar to a fitbit, and I just wanted something like it anyway, so yay! :) Got this on September 11th, 2016!

Having a lot of fun with it, the app has a bunch of extra things to track other than steps, amusing seeing how much time I spend on Facebook for example, heh.

Planning and things

I know, I haven't done any of my "catch up" posts for my 1083 Days project yet. I will, I will.

I've been really sick (STILL not fully diagnosed, this is starting to really stink!), and tired, and working a whole lot, so my husband and baby and I can do something fun soon. It'll all be worth it! But need to have some extra overtime done to make it happen. That, and we really need a new car. We're on the lookout right now, and I want to know I can set aside the down payment for a lease when we find "the one" as it were.

Plus, we're still working on opening Onto Paper later this year, so lots on our plates!

Speaking of which, I'm cruising Pinterest for some "freezer meals", which seem oh so popular these days, but I really see why. I have good and bad days with my health. Today is leaning more to "bad", unfortunately, but I still go to work and do all the things, while baby and daddy explore the world and have a good time. Except for the whole terrible twos thing, but we'll pretend he's an angel child and that doesn't happen, ha!

But it'd be nice to know that if I prep 80 things, the husband can fling one into the crock pot before baby's nap time, and when he gets me home from work at night, food will be ready. Perfect. :) A little more work for me on a "good" day, and not have to worry about the husband burning down the house. HAHAHA. Ahem.

Not much else to say right now, and I have a bad headache coming on, probably from sneezing (oh what a life) but what can you do? :)

1183 Days Progress!

So it's been a while since I've made any post, let alone one about 1183 Days! I'm going to make full posts for each item (and probably tag it here!) but for now, these are the things I've managed to make happen! (And the dates, if I remember them off the top of my head, lol.)

002 - Finish a colouring page! - Done today! July 30th, while at work! :) It's just a colouring page I got from the library, but it's not bad.

006 - Make a painting freestyle (not in class) - Did this in May, for our new house. :) Actually did two paintings, one of a lake for our living room, and one for Ollie's room!007 - Get our own place! (Apartment?) - Officially got the keys on June 4th! Moved in a couple weeks later, since I had to get furniture and stuff heh.

017 - Get a fancy purse - Did this in mid-May... I think the 18th? After my work interview (and job offer that I accepted!) I went to the thrift store across the street. I found a Vera Bradley bag (of which I've wanted one for years!) for $7 I believe. It's usually 10x that, so as you can imagine, I was thrilled. It was essentially brand new. Good enough for me. :)

020 - Get a kitty! - We actually adopted her at the end of June, but she had to get fixed, and then caught an upper respiratory thing that they offered to treat at the humane society, so we got her officially a couple weeks later. Her full name is Miss Yuki Mao Mao. LOL. Yuki for short... which means snow. She's a black cat. My sense of humour is something else.

028 - Bake cake/cupcakes/muffins from scratch! - Did this sometime in June, made my grandma's banana muffin recipe. SO GOOD. I need to make them again, now that I think about it...

060 - Plant a REAL garden (NOT POTTED) - Did this a few weeks after moving in, but all my plants died, LOL. It's too hot here. :( I'll try again, but I am so counting this time. TOO BAD.

073 - Get a real GOOD cellphone - Did this on July 17th! Got an LG X Power, once I found out I had a credit available through my mobile phone company. Now the husband wants one too, lol. Lucky for him, I have more of a credit that I have no use for, heh. :)

081 - Go to another con - Went to Mini-Mini Con in San Antonio sometime in May. Entered a tournament while there, so crossed off another item on my list!

090 - Own a couple of NICE PJ sets - Got myself a couple of cute and comfy sets of PJs in May, while shopping for work clothes. Makes as much sense as anything else, no?

093 - Get a nice pair of shoes - Okay, they're not super fancy, but they're SO COMFY. Got them sometime in June.

132 - Have a 4 slice toaster again - Got this in May, for our house! :)

134 - Enter (+ probably lose) a game tournament - Did this at the start of May with the husband, a Guilty Gear tournament at a Mini Con in San Antonio. I sucked, but I had fun. :)

165 - Own a fancy water bottle - Okay, it's not extra fancy, but I fiddled around with a dozen or so of them, and decided on one I liked, even though it's kind of boring. It's 48oz though, so that helps me get all my water intake in every day. :) Good stuff!

Still here!

I know, it's been over a month since I've made a post here, yikes!

In that time though, I've moved us back to Canada (yay!), gotten us a nice house (I love it here) AND gotten a job that I'm really enjoying. Not to mention, I've plowed through close to a dozen of my to-do list items, which I'll be making into posts during today, since it's my day off. Four day weekends are great ha! :)

If my thinking is right, I'm almost caught up to where I should be, in regards to completed tasks. Not bad!

Camp NaNoWriMo and other things!

I did it! Over 57,000 words, one cross-country road trip, one horrible still undiagnosed illness (that keeps knocking me off my feet and makes me feel like garbage all the time), one toddler teething and hating to sleep, and so many other things that could have stopped me but DIDN'T!

Otter is FAR from over. I have a lot of editing to do. Technically, we're on vacation, I guess. We're trying to figure out what to do with our little lives, and our little family, up around Niagara Falls (the Canadian side, the pretty side, haha!)

For reasons that made sense at the time, but not so much now, I left my dog behind in Texas (she's okay!) but ugh, I miss her so much right now. It'll be nice to have that stinky pooch jumping all over me with her muddy (probably, she loves mud!) paws again.

But anyway, a pen name has been chosen (my husband doesn't think it sounds dumb, so I'll be using it, heh) and the pages for it will be made, and sometime this month, my first chapter of Otter will be released! SO exciting! I promise to have all of those links up and running soon. Hopefully sometime this week, even though later in the week, we'll be travelling once again!

On top of being super awesome for doing this, this also means I get to check off task #5 on my 1183 Days list! I have NEVER 'won' at NaNoWriMo before, so this was something I thought wouldn't happen at all. So an extra yay, for that!

Projects!

So the other day I mentioned how busy I am. I decided to make a list of things I'm working on, which I'll edit as I work on things!

Books

Otter - A novel about a girl who wakes up, confused about where she is, and who she is. She ends up realizing she's in a weird time loop... With strange results.
About 2/3s of the way done writing this one! When it's done, my husband is going to be my editor (best) and it'll be up on Channillo!

Voice/Memory - A novel series (probably a trilogy at this point) that hints that mental illness isn't what it seems.
Have been working on this one for literally years, finally figuring out how to make the plot work for me. Don't you hate when that happens, that the story wants to do its own thing? Sigh.

The above books will be released in their various forms (someday, into real live books, I hope!) under a pseudonym, which I'm tweaking (because my husband said it sounds weird lol) and will release out into the world soon as well. It's like getting to be an all new person! Yee!

Once the pseudonym's pages have been set up, my writing stuff will be located elsewhere, but I will link to it. :)

I also have other story ideas floating in my head, but they're a lot less... concrete than anything else listed here.

1183 Days

This started as a 'bucket list' sort of project back in September, with my 33rd birthday lurking around the corner (my birthday is in December) and me feeling like I wasn't doing enough in my life. Which is ridiculous, I'm such a busy chick!

As of today (April 20th, 2016) I've done 16/169 items. Why 169? That was the amount of weeks in between my start date, and my 36th birthday! I'm kind of slacking, I should be about 29 tasks in, due to it having been 29 weeks since I started, but a few things on the list will happen all at once. Like most things related to Onto Paper (our business we're hoping to open later this year!) or the things that are all in California (I want to attend the Ellen show, and maybe go check out a game show or two, lol) and such.

This is actually a really important thing for me to do with my time. There's so many little things I do, or want to do, that I never thought mattered, but they do, to me. And maybe to some of you!

When it's all done, whether or not I finish everything, I'm thinking of putting it out, pictures and all, as a book. Just to prove to myself that I and my life are important. :)

Onto Paper

This is my and my husband's idea, which started as a small creative lounge concept (a place for people to write together) and is blooming into a much bigger idea, with painting and crafting on site, and customers' works being sold right in-store.

Originally planned for in the San Antonio, TX area, we've had some bumps along the way (mostly related to my health taking a major dive, I'm currently in the middle of testing to figure out what's going on!) but we're still pushing forward, now in the Niagara Region of Ontario!

It'll start small, as many great things do, but I dream of it becoming a franchise-worthy place, where creativity can grow. We have plans for a charity through it as well, to benefit art programs for children. That's obviously coming up further down the line, but we're excited for it!

* * *

There's so much more that I'm working on, but these are the big three. Some smaller projects are linked to 1183 Days (one including painting rocks, heh) and some are just life things in general. But these are the ones that matter to me most!

Writing and 1183 Days task!

Technically, I'm a day ahead for Camp NaNoWriMo! I should be at 6666 words, but am over 7k already, whoo!

Completing any NaNoWriMo event is part of my "1183 Days" list (it's #5!) and so I have high hopes that I'll make it this time. To keep it "fair", I'm doing the usual 50k word count, since during camp, you can choose your own word count. I guess if I wanted to be sneaky, I could make it 8k words, and claim I win that way, but I don't like playing like that!

To help me on my way, I've accepted a secondary writing challenge, oddly enough at WritingChallenge.org! The goal there is to hit 500 words per day, but they aim at doing it all year round. They use Twitter to keep tallies, and to cheer each other on. It's actually a great atmosphere! You enter your word count on a Google document, it's on the honour system, but it's nice seeing how other people are doing alongside you! I love doing things with a group, it feels so much less lonely. Their word count to hit is low enough that it doesn't feel like a horrible chore, either. I usually manage to pump out that much in 10-15 minutes, honestly.

Especially while taking part in a word sprint! During NaNoWriMo months (April, July, and of course the main month, November!) @NaNoWordSprints comes alive on Twitter, and leads people in sprints and prompts, to help you work on your novel. Most sprints are between 10-20 minutes, but they often run 1k30 sprints, try to write 1,000 words in half an hour! The closest I've gotten this month, was 999 words. Seriously. Oh well, 27 more days to try!

Just this and that!

In the past couple of days, I've gotten two more new books to review! One that isn't officially released (nor will it be, until June!) so I feel extra excited about that one. Being ahead of the game is always exciting, isn't it?

I'm also joining a few drawing/scribble challenges. They (um, internet people?) seem to like to congregate on Instagram for these things, so I've had to create an Instagram account, since I forgot my old one. Yeah, I'm one of those weird ducks who doesn't do Instagram, ha!

Soon, I will be all over the internet. Every tiny corner. Every single one. Waiting, watching. Oooooo~! (For what? I don't know. Things. Internet things.)

I've also been learning more about how to blog correctly. Who knew there was a right and wrong way to do this sort of thing? Not changing my layout again, apart from adding the little Instagram logo on the toolbar, heh. But hopefully bringing more/better content.

Other topics of interest coming up in the near future:

• Camp NaNoWriMo starts up again on April 1st! I'll be doing at least one short story, maybe two, whoo hoo!
• I have an odd thing on my task list, #102 - Paint rocks + leave them places... Going to start collecting rocks for this, and giving it an actual "project" name. It's nice and cheesy, my husband rolled his eyes when I told him it. It'll be wonderful!
• More book reviews, obviously!
• Who knows what else. Magical things, maybe!

1183 Days - #82 - Finish ANY collection on Animal Crossing

Okay, so I've been playing Animal Crossing since it came out for the Gamecube. Long time!

I've NEVER finished a collection across the board, though.

To me, that's a bit depressing! I don't collect many things in real life (the little bit of collections I have had, are long gone, long story) and due to my little collections being gone, I figured, a safe place to try and collect something would be in the latest Animal Crossing game!

To be honest, in the generation prior to this one, my DS reset all its data, and I lost everything I had collected. (Plus all of my game data for any game I'd ever played on it!) So trying again was a challenge itself, it actually really upset me!

My lovely husband bought me Animal Crossing: New Leaf (for Nintendo 3DS) back in July, as a "wedding present" (does this show what kind of couple we are? heh) but I only seriously started to collect things in about October.

After only four months, I finished the dinosaur fossils collection, without any outside help OR time travel OR cheats. Go me!

1183 Days Posts

Working on putting up (in chronological order, so they shouldn't be popping up ahead of this post, unless I just did them!) my 1183 Days completed tasks, which once I'm done, will all be listed and linked from the page I just linked. I didn't realize how well I've been getting them done, until I have to write out posts for each of them! Feeling very accomplished right now.

Eventually I'll be posting them in present-time, and that'll be great too. I have plans for myself to get some amazing things done, health problems or not.

Maybe some 'boring' amazing things, but still amazing.

Like making a pie... ;)

1183 Days - #68 - Apply to Jeopardy again

I last entered to try and be on Jeopardy about four years ago.

I got an email to do a secondary test, but that was the end of that trail.

I decided it was time to try again!

The testing period for 2016 was limited to three days, January 26-28! I did mine on the last day.

My computer lagged, the internet acted up, my computer fully froze up at the very end, but in the end, I completed the test!

Now I'm hearing that Canadians aren't allowed on the show... I used the Texas address I'm at presently, because I didn't see the Canadian options. Now I'm wondering what will happen to my entry!

If I even get a return reply, anyway.

Here's hoping! :)

1183 Days - #166 - Have and use a journal

Boy did I ever throw myself into this one.

I actually found a journal in my husband's old room, which he said I could have. It sat on my bedside table for a month nearly, when I came across the concept of Bullet Journals on Pinterest.

I was hooked.

I'll probably never post content here (it's boring, mostly about health issues I'm having, to show my doctor) but it was exists, and is great! Once the baby is in daycare and then school, and we have our business up and running, I have a feeling I'll have a more interesting version that I will post pictures with pride. :)

Unless someone reading this really wants to see how often I have headaches and nausea.

Ew. :P

1183 Days - #13 - Win ANYTHING (lottery?)

So right now we're down in Texas. I honestly don't think I ever had bought a lottery ticket in America before, but the jackpot was at around $1billion! I know the chances are slim, but why not, eh?

So I bought the numbers I usually buy back home when I drop some cash on a ticket (rarely, lol) and picked 13 for my Powerball across the board.

Lucky me, 13 came in as the Powerball!! Hahaha!!

I won $26, my first ever American lottery win.

I bought more tickets (didn't win!) and some chocolate. Good choice. ;)

1183 Days - #25 - Finish ANY book

As a mom, I don't really read a lot these days. Less now that my Kobo (ereader) has vanished, since the baby has a habit of tearing pages from books...

Luckily, I've learned the art of reading during naps or after bedtime.

My first book read fully during this self-imposed challenge was The Ocean at the end of the Lane by Neil Gaiman and I really enjoyed it! I recommend it to anyone who wants a nice easy book to fall into. It's typical Neil Gaiman, mature fairy tale style. I recommended it to my husband, who rarely reads anything but comics, and he ate it up in two days. Yay!

To be sadly honest, before reading this book, I could NOT recall the last book I'd finished. Either I lose interest, or lose track of the book itself and find it hard to pick back up after being lost however long.

Trying to read 12 books for 2016, and doing fairly well, if you check my Goodreads account considering everything going on in my life! :)

1183 Days - #114 - Properly celebrate something

Okay, so I don't really *do* holidays. Stupid reasons.

 

A big part is that I am very shy and introverted. A worse part is that I'm often sick these days, and doing too much wears me down fast.

I didn't let this keep me down on New Year's this year though!

December 31 2015/January 1 2016, we (my husband and I, baby stayed home with Grandma) did fireworks, played a multiple hour long game of Cards Against Humanity, had some good BBQ, and just an all out good time.

While driving to/from the party, we got to see multiple fireworks parties around San Antonio, which was an amazing thing in and of itself.

Oddly, this was actually our second New Year's in San Antonio! Maybe we'll try to go for a three-for in 2017! Heh. :)

1183 Days - #19 - Get a nice haircut

So a few years ago, I chopped off most of my hair. It's very thick and naturally curly, so this is kind of a requirement in my life at times.

Since I haven't dyed my hair in ages though, I've been able to donate it twice now! This being one of those times.

My hair goes to wigs for kids who are great people, who give wigs to kids that need them for FREE.

Free is the best price ever. :)

I think maybe it wasn't the best styling I've ever gotten after hacking most of my hair off, but it was for a good reason, so no complaints here!

Will likely be doing this again in a few years, once my hair's grown out again! Probably will wait until summer next time though. Good thing we were in Texas this time around, as I did this cut on December 16th, 2015!

1183 Days - #26 - Sort Ollie's clothes to sell/giveaway

My baby is growing up so fast!!

As such, he needs new clothes every two minutes, or so it seems.

We routinely buy him new clothes, well... New to us. Most of what he owns, or has owned, has come from Once Upon a Child. I love the place, and you can get "almost new" stuff for a tiny fraction of the new price. One time I got super lucky during a clearance sale, and bought him loads of things for 50¢ each!

As he outgrows stuff, I try to tuck it out of the way, since nothing is worse than an angry baby flailing as you try to yank a too-small shirt over his head!

I finally got around to a point where I decided to gather it all to take to a OUAC, to trade in to get him some new things.

We continue to do that now, about once a month.

He might seem a bit spoiled, but when you're almost always using store credit, it's hard to feel guilty, heh. :)

1183 Days - #3 - Number this book

I felt like adding page numbers, so when I write entries about my tasks, I can find them again. Makes sense, no? :)

Did it on December 3, 2015!
