If you aren’t a little bit nerdy, please stop reading this and go on about your day

So I just recently loaded wordpress onto a jump drive which I carry around everywhere with me (on my key chain when not plugged in). I gotta say, I’m loving it. I can “jot” things down as I think of them in a quick, organized manner. Short term goals, things my daughter says and does as she grows up, things I wanna buy, foods I wanna cook, important dates, photo ideas, etc. Wordpress has categories and tagging, so sorting thru the posts are quick and easy … and I always have everything with me. Try it, it’s cool … if you’re a nerd, like me.

I was going to post something last month, but noticed that in December of 2008 I only posted once, so I wanted to stay true to form for December of 2009.

• The Odd Days Project is over. I have one more photo to post and that’s done. I’m not sure what photo project to start next.
• I may start competing over at dpchallenge again this year.
• I’m in a biggest loser contest with some family. I currently have ballooned back up to 160. My goal is 145 by March 31st … that’s only 5 pounds per month, how hard could it be?
• I’ve slowly started getting back to the gym (very slowly).
• I plan to run a 1/2 marathon this year, even though at the moment I can barely squeak out a 5k on a treadmill (which is much easier)

Only 16 more images left to add to my Odd Days Project and I’m wondering what I should do next. I don’t think I want to keep going with it … I need a break. Usually in the winter time, I don’t take many pictures, but I feel like I’ve gone too long without really trying to make a decent image … though, I am happy with these:

I’ve been thinking hard about changing the website, but I like the way it looks at the moment and don’t want to mess that up. Maybe I’ll start another website … I don’t know. Obviously, I need to give it some more thought.
