I've done it. I've gotten in over my head. I've bought the book by Peter Boxall and am determined not only to finish all of the books that aren't on this list that I want to read (Such as 51 more Jules Verne books to go!) but read all of these as well!

Simplicity
I'm trying to start off my "new" life on the right foot. When I say "new" what I mean is that I am buying a house and will be moving into it soon. When I say "the right foot" I mean a more simplistic and purposeful life. So I figured maybe I'd share some of my thoughts and cool webpages with you.
Tonights Activities (decided upon and done!)
Clean out my RSS feed
Clean out my email subscriptions
Do nothing more purposefully
Read a book

I think I need to get rid of some hobbies
I always feel like I don't pay enough attention to my coin collection, or my sailing, or my cards, or my reading, or whatever it is that I haven't done in a while. Maybe that means I should just get rid of some of my hobbies. I kind of feel like when I move into a different house and am able to sort things out that I will have more time for everything. I don't think that's really true, but I'm hoping so. I have too many habits here. New places mean new habits if I want them. Unfortunately though there won't be any more hours in the day.

If you haven't seen it yet
You should check out google's CADIE (it can be accessed through the homepage) and its relevant application to gmail (shown at the top when you sign in). I still think that Virgle and custom times were the best though.

Blast from the past
I just headed back over to xanga. It is really strange to read what I was writing then (haven't been writing there since 2005). It amazes me how much things change and yet how little. For instance I'm still working on my back with a full twist!!! ;-)
I figured that maybe I should actually write here too where I at least know that three people will read it. I'm curious to see if I get any response to my xanga post.
Here are my quick life updates:
1. I just got back from doing a weekend camp (sno-go type thing) at Big Bear. It was awesome and I am still exhausted.
2. I went and drove by more houses today and will hopefully look at more tomorrow. I am sick and tired of looking and not getting.
3. I am training for a 66 mile ride coming up on April 4 and absolutely loving it.
4. I just splurged and bought a pull up bar for my doorway :-D
5. I am interviewing for job #3 again tomorrow (they have an in class observation thing you have to do three times).
6. I am having a decent semester for once. Business Law is pretty boring but attendance and attentiveness are not required, Music of World Cultures is pretty cool even if it is harder than I expected it to be, Theory of Strength Training and Condition is pretty amazing and has caused me to want to change to a double major instead of just minoring in PE, and my Management class is really fun and tests are open book, open notes, and in groups of four people.
