Tag Archives: No Excuses
short, long, and other fictions
I apologize for the general lack of bloggery last month. I probably should have mentioned that I was doing NaNoWriMo (National Novel Writing Month, writing of 50,000 words during the month of November), as I have done every year since … Continue reading
Running into autumn
Yesterday was the half-marathon I’d planned to run in this year. (The main event is a marathon, but they also have the half-marathon and a 5k.) I knew earlier this year that I wasn’t going to be able to do … Continue reading
What are you so afraid of?
Before I get into the meat of this post, just a quick note about the Merry-Go-Round Blog Tour. It begins Friday, July 1, at Alex’s blog. I’ll be blogging on the second of each month, so look for my post … Continue reading

No such thing as a healthy excuse
Today, I had a physical — just a normal, general physical, the kind I should get on a regular basis. Should being the operative word there. The last time I had blood work done was when I was pregnant with … Continue reading
Winter weather gives me an excuse
Lovely day to wake up to. Unlike a lot of my friends farther east and north, I saw the sun shining when I got up this morning — much to the dismay of my son, who really wanted another snow … Continue reading
Any excuse . . .
No excuses. That’s my motto for 2011. No excuses for frittering away time I could be writing, playing on the Web. No excuses for giving up on exercise. No excuses for not spending time with my family. No excuses for … Continue reading
