Getting slapped upside the headed, the SIMs 2, profound insights and more

Mar 14th, 2008 | By Barbara | Category: Insights

Morning,

Yesterday was quite a super day writing-wise and family-wise! First things first; took the kids to karate, sat out of it myself (did some major stretching instead, gosh I’m stiff), and then did the 2.4 mile circle walk. One of my kids is craving Sims NightLife, and spent the entire time gravely explaining to me how, by purchasing this video game, I would be contributing towards her overall maturity and growth structure (Mom! In SIMs Nightlife, you can get a car! And grow a garden! And I would have to get a job because you know, Mom, you need money!)

Ya’ think kid? Ya think that’s why I’ve been trying to teach you about making money online via blogs/sites/etc.? Ya really think?

Kids’ thought processes are truly absurd at times.

Anywhos, writing wise, I devised:

The first centered upon what happened to my kid at Aikido (you wouldn’t believe the bad grammar!) and smoothly segued into developing your own personal blogging voice.

The second one is Day 4 of a 5 day tutorial and concentrated upon how to step out of the box. To wit, I’ve devised my first quotable quote!

“When you’ve exhausted all possibilities by thinking outside the box – turn that box upside down and give it a good shake. You never know what will magically fall down that had been stuck hidden in the corner before.” — Barbara Ling (aka Owlbert)

Martial arts wise, today is BJJ in the morning and Adult Karate in the evening. There’s also beginners karate as well; I generally bring my Notebook of Brilliance and jot down whatever fascinating ideas occur to me.

Time to start the coffee,

Barbara
