Time, Time, Time Is NOT On My Side
Periodically I go up against my biggest enemy – Time. Or rather, lack of time. It's fine when I'm just coasting along living in my own delirious illusion, but if I happen to open my eyes and see how much time has flowed past, and how little I've accomplished with it, I become slightly panicked.

Muse Troubles
Betsy! Psst! Betsy! *jumps* What? Who's there? Betsy! Over here! *looks around* Blogosphere? Is that you? Of course it's me. Keep your voice down. What? Why?

Perspective
Sometimes I get hung up in the minutia of day-to-day living. The work I do at my day job. Whether I'm writing. Whether I'm not writing. Whether I'm working towards my goals. Whether I'm not working towards my goals. Whether I just want to say I have goals, but I don't really want to work [...]

Goals
In the last couple of weeks, it's been driven home to me how little control I have over my own life. Decisions that other people make, lives other people have lived, things other people say – all of them impact my life, and I have no control over it at all. Even if I bear [...]

The iPod Follies – Part 2
If you've read my post from a couple of days ago, then you know the lunacy I went through trying to get my dearly beloved iPod set up on my computer. And how I bought a computer for my iPod. Well, lest you think that the insanity ended there, I thought I would tell you [...][image error]

Wisdom From Henry
I had planned a rather witty blog post for today. Well, I thought it was witty. Opinions may vary. But I had a sad and difficult day at work, and I just don't feel very witty at the moment. I thought I would share one of my very favorite quotes with you instead. Well, [...]
