It Should Not be Thursday Already

It’s alarming me how fast weeks are passing. 2013 is 1/3 done. Oh time.

There was a lunar eclipse this afternoon, a full moon tonight, plus it’s Thursday night, best night of the week.  Things are gearing up for a big planetary alignment on June 5th, plan accordingly.

In less etheral news, I’ve booked a lot of travel for May = Mexico, Alberta & Oregon. Alberta to test the fully-refreshed Ford F150 Pickup truck wait, gets better, in Dinosaur Park. And it’s off with Acura to the winding roads of Oregon, for their MDX, a 7-seater SUV.

I’m behind on posting my columns, I will this weekend, because I really want you to read the pedestiran one. And the security one, obs.

At the risk of jinxing myself, starting Saturday my possible-new-assistant and I are sitting down to plan a week-long test of working together. I’m very excited. Tonight I made us a calender, and started a spreadsheet entitled; ‘Blog Post DRAFTS”, it’s 50 deep.

Below I am making said shared calendar. Sharing. Lessening control. Oh boy, guys.

Hope you too had a good Thursday night.  I finished all my jobs by 9, then jogging pants on and a quiet creative stuff only night, no work.

One thing I did was modify a Yada baby monitor Canadian Tire kindly sent me, and made it a new, more solid tripod system.

I’m going to stick it in my car then tada, my ’99 Jetta now has a backup camera / spy cam.

And I daydreamed and made notes & lists. And now there’s sticky notes everywhere, and I feel better. I have to have daydream & alone time, or I start to lose it.

What daydream & alone-time looks like.

Hand over mouth, always.

The turning point for this KeriBlog nonsense has never been closer guys.  I have a lot of irons here, there and around, and some seem like they’re about to kick off… if I can just get it just right… I think so.

Thanks for always checking in,

Love,
Keri

Look how hard I’m trying to eat better.

See that there? A bottle of spice.

I love ports.

I am wiped.

Night.

 

I Was So Quiet this Weekend

It was a very low-key weekend, didn’t go do or talk much.

I’m so glad the internet is moving more and more to 9-5.  The pressure to be sharing and publishing 24/7 is a weird thing, ask a blogger; it can feel like a lead cape.

Been thinking and visualizing a lot about my new assistant.
How if I had one, you’d have known sooner
about important things, such as…

… how I went to the casino on Friday night.

(I love casinos. ‘Wheel of Fortune’ slots is 1/2 of my favouirte games.
‘Jacks or Better’ video poker is the other; best odds in the house)

Or that I’d attended a great Canadian Club party the night before that.

You remember Casie far right, hey you xo! Couch soon.

If I had blog help, you’d have known that I was driving a Hyundai Accent last week.

And that my Saturday night looked pretty typical of many of my Saturday nights.

You’d have known that I’d done my bi-annual buy last week.  My shopping method is solid both in execution, and value; click here.

Nice crisp new jacket eh… I’ll show you it better in another post.

Becoming so professional, me.

I also dug around in a box under my bed this weekend, and hauled out spring clothes.

Might have that shortened.

And if I had an assistant, I’d have been able to show you this beautiful sight sooner… don’t you want to smash them so bad?

They make the most beautiful sound when they smash.

If ever you’d like to get me a frivolous gift, click here.

A blog helper.

I’m excited, ready, and going to kickstart the search this week.

 

And That's Boring Old Taxes DONE

This is the taxes station I set up.

I don’t understand getting worked up about paying more taxes…
more tax means you’re making more money

They are boring though, the dullest thing ever to do.

This was the best part of the whole process.

Fellow OCD-ers: it was as fun as it looks.

 

An Autonet & Work Update

I’m now up to 5 articles / week – 3 news stories, my column, and a technical review like this.

(my review of the all-new Buick Encore)

I still get the biggest kick out of seeing my words in print, like: that’s all me I wrote all that. Sure I’ve written one million words here on my blog, but to hold it in your hand is a neat feeling.

Unfortunately that’s the only review I have a hard copy of, which is sad news for my fridge collection.

This week’s column (prints Wednesday) is about pedestrians, again.

My column prints with this headshot, which is so funny to me.

I took this photo with my phone, and sunglasses on you can’t tell it’s me, which amuses me endlessly.  Because finally after 5 years I finally publish my last name, and it’s accompanied with that photo ha.

My headshot online though, I feel opposite about; wow is it ever awkward. I didn’t actually look so helmety-and-awkward day of.

It’s just, I’ve never liked having my photo taken, and it really shows in the shot.

My boss Joe best sums up the photo.

I jacknifed when that came in.

But the good news is, so we’re switching again to a new content management system, so I can upload a new photo.

But the problem is, time and effort has been put into building that awkwardness into banners.

This is the best banner of all, check out my 468×60… and it’s animated

My disembodied head zooms around back and forth ahaha I’m laughing too ahard ot type…

Welcome to the Autonet newsletter, I’m Keri.

Click through on my helmet hair or weird neck, and let’s go read some car news awkwardly.
