Sniffles, Sniffles, and more Sniffles

Wow, I hate sinus problems. I have been sniffling since I went to bed last night. I feel icky. But in other news, I had a fairly productive morning and plan on an even more productive afternoon. I wanted to write more today, but I don't really feel like it, and my second novel (Patches) is probably feeling really rejected, so I best give it some long overdue attention. So that is all I have to say right now. I am sniffling, and it is really annoying me.

More later...

Not Without My Driving Tape...

Okay, so I have not been exactly the little exercising lady that I should be. I had really planned to walk with my mother tonight, but well here's the deal. I had this walk all planned out in my mind. I was going to pop in my favorite driving tape (Not really my favorite, but my favorite of all the driving tapes I have right now. Which is one. So it's really just my favorite by default.) and I was going to move to the music, and exercise for the full 90 minutes of play time. It was going to be great, but when I get here (to our walking place) I turned on my tape player and heard only static. Yes, brilliant girl that I am with my 132 IQ (Forgive me but I rarely get a chance to work my IQ into a sentence, and for a girl that is often accused of being secretely blonde, well you get my point...) and I forgot include one of the most important ingredients for listening to my tape, which is of course the tape.
So all the excitement I had in thinking of my good brisk (I like brisk) walk was eaten by the static.

Long story short, instead of walking with my mom, I am on her computer conversing with cyber space. I will try for pilates tomorrow. Hey I have lost seven lbs so far, so I am not doing extremely awful.

Okay, I just looked up at the tv. I turned it to "Whose Line" because they are funny to me, and I like to do improv myself. There is either a cross dressing body building man in a bakini on there, or there is a body building woman on there that looks like a guy. Either way, on a shock factor scale, I would give that a six.

Personally, I don't understand why a woman would want to look like that, but hey, to each her own.

Winds of Change...

It seems that I will soon not have a partner for the magazine. This is not a huge surprise actually, so I am not in shock or anything. But that does mean I will have to do the whole thing by myself until God tells me who I should get to help. I am excited about this issue though. Mainly because the Lord gave me a good rating system for the novels we reveiw. Also, I think the author interviews turned out really well. Overall, I am excited about the future of the magazine.

In other news, I have plans to work on my second novel today. I am hoping to finish it before this year is out. I got an offer from a friend to take me to the town that inspired the story. I may actually do it, but that is definately something that I need to pray about first. I would be going with her and her husband who has family there, and I would be going in the day (way before dark) but I still need to make sure it is something that God is all for the research trip.

Also, I am going to be teaching drama this summer. I am excited about that, especially because it is something that I will get paid for doing. :) It should be a lot of fun. I am doing it with a friend from church. In addition to that, I am going to probably do a couple of workshops this summer. I want to do some on the importance of purity until marriage. I have a lot to say about that issue. :)

I actually picked up my guitar today and even plucked it a little. :) That was fun.

Well I better get to work now.

Cleansing the Roz...

Has anyone ever done a cleanse? I tried a pill one, but I did not like it much. Today I started one where you have a 1/4 cup of Aloe Vera juice( the stuff taste like water), and eat mellons (in my case watermellon) for a day. I started it tonight, so I will be done tomorrow night. Sometimes you can loose up to five or ten pounds with a cleanse. I am hoping for results like that. :) Actually, it is supposed to get all the impurities out of your body. :) I think it might be working. :)

In other news, I am half-way through with my first review, and I only have five more to go. And by the way, if there are any Christian fiction writers out there viewing this blog, you should really visit
www.parablesmag.com and look at the writer's guidelines. You may get your stories published, if you submit something that we can use. :)

I am reading Ezekiel right now. I wanted to read Isaiah (I love Isaiah) but the Lord is leading me toward Ezekiel, so I plan on reading the whole book. As I read it this morning the thing that really stood out with me is the passage about the watchman. God told Ezekiel that made him a watchman, and if he did not warn the people that God said warn, their blood would be on his hands. There is a sobering thought, huh? I have more to say about this, but not right now. I want to read and meditate on it a bit more first.

Has anyone played the games on MSN? I think they have the best games. I like them better than AOL or Yahoo games. :)

Anyway, I need to go now. Happy Sunday to all, and to all a good night!

Yeah, I know...

Two in One Day!

Wow! I know you are wondering why in the world I am posting two times in one day. :) Well I am about to go do the political thing shortly, and after reading all morning I am half-way done with the last book. So I said to myself, "Hey, Roz! Why don't you do some bloggin'" So anyway, here I am. All dolled up, and ready to go call people for a couple of hours. :) Well, okay, since I don't really have anything in particular to talk about, I guess I will close this entry out.

Yeah, I know....

Pray for me. ;)

Down to the Last Book

I am finally down to the last book that I have to read before the next issue. Then I the book reviews will start. That will be fun.

In other news, for the past month I have been helping with a political campaign. It has been neat. I have not been doing anything except calling and encouraging people to vote, but it is still an interesting experience.

Tonight after I help with the phones, I am going to the cafe to hang out with a friend. I am really excited about this, because this is devinely appointed connection that the Lord wants me to have. lol I am praying that the new friendship is everything that He wants it to be. :)

In other news, my diet is going okay. I have lost a total of four pounds since I started. I wish I had one of those little counters that Jen has, those are cute. But since I don't have one you will have to get the picture without the visual aid. :)

I probably would have lost more, had I been completely faithful, but I have decided to really work on bringing up my will power. :) So I will get there. After all, I can do all things through Christ.

Well that is all for now.
