I have to say, Microsoft OneNote is awesome. It’s pretty much my new journal software. I have a tab for creative writing, one for memories, and one for journal entries. It automatically dates things, you can set it up to look like a notebook, you can use a stylus to write if you have one, you can put in pictures and what not…. it’s perfect! Well, perfect for my kind of writing needs at least. It runs really speedy even on my netbook - which is great. It’s literally like keeping a notebook on your computer. I am in love with it - which is not something I say about Microsoft products often.
I’m hoping this will lead to more blog posts. I’m still try to figure out if there’s a way to sync it to wordpress. If there is, that’s even better. It does! And, it’s a built in feature. Swell!
I do not see One Note on my mac here at work in Office 08. Yup, definitely not there. So, you kids are missing out. Looks like it’s not in Office 10 for Mac either, but there is an app to sync it to your iPhone/iTouch (which is odd).
Anyways, it’s definitely worth a whirl if you do any sort of blogging or journal entries. It’s always nice to have an online and offline back up anyways.

2009 was a rough and yet amazing year for me. It was a battle that stretched the entire year, and I really wanted to get it all down somewhere… This may be far too much information for some people, but then again, this is more for myself to remember just how far I’ve come. No, I didn’t proofread this beast. Ignore the grammar/typos.
I just got done making these, and they are a++ fantastic. Peanut Butter Carrot Cookies Ingredients:

Does it drive anyone else nuts when someone you were friends with in high school that you haven’t talked to since then pops up and friends you on facebook and wants to be your bff all over again? Read the rest of this rubbish »
Last year, about this same time, I saw her play this song live at the Lilac Festival and promptly burst into tears as soon as the piano started. Granted, I had been brutally dumped about two weeks prior, but still… a year later, the same bull shit…and it stills feels like last year’s war…
I made these on Sunday morning. It’s a custom Molly recipe; I’d double it for two people. Cinnamon Spice Pancakes (low-fat)

1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
1 c vanilla soymilk
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp vegetable oil
2 tsp applesauce
pinch of ginger, nutmeg, salt
Spray frying pan with cooking spray. Drop 2-3 spoonfuls of batter on the pan. Flip when the middle starts to bubble.
She’s back! Kitty survived her 12 hours of being in a crate and flying across the country on Saturday. Naturally the first thing I did when I got her to my place was try to bathe her… she was so happy with me that she pissed on my leg. That’s my girl! She settled right back in to her chair stealing, pillow thiefing, workout obstructing ways. My favorite was when she jumped on my stomach claws-extended while I was in the middle doing an ab workout yesterday. She’s lucky I like her so much.
