back on the wagon. i hope. :p

For the first time in a very long time I measured out my breakfast cereal. They seem to think 3/4ths cup of raisin bran is a serving. It’s not very damned much, I tell you that. I miss my Kashi GoLean Crunch, which is more expensive in points, but buried beneath berries makes a really filling yummy breakfast. They don’t seem to have it here, though. I was able to re-sign up for the WW Online site. Turns out they don’t care (or at least track) where you are as…

money order, anyone?

Would somebody in the States be willing to go get a money order and send it to Hong Kong for me?

Well. A first chapter is done. I have learned more about the character, and I like the feel and…

book titles

Ok. This is all about looking for book titles. I am not normally a person who has a hard time with book titles. The Strongbox Chronicles, though, are not easy for me to title. I’m now starting the 2nd trilogy of the series, which features a new main character, Carmen Davenport. Before we go any further, let me encourage you to go read this post, so you have a sense of what I was trying to accomplish with the titles for the first trilogy. Ok. Now that you’ve read that,…
