i’m pretty shy around people i don’t know, and i’m especially nervous about going to functions where there is going to be mingling. so i almost backed out of going to an optional PMP event this evening but i stuck to my guns and went. now i’m feeling satisified and a little more experienced.

9 hits in the last two games.. he can do it.. he has definitely helped remind me how much i enjoy following baseball.

with Eriko’s physical presence less than a year away, i have to admit that i feel pretty comfortable. when i think about our upcoming marriage and life together, i’m nervous as can be. however, when i look at where i am right now, i feel real good. i really enjoy my condo, i’m enjoying my job more and more every day. i’m slowly starting to transition back into a learning mode. slowly reading more, slowing studying more, including some topics i’m real interested in such as mathematics and japanese. i’m slowly starting to cook more and take care of my body. it is definitely slow but happily steady progress. so, despite my natural fear of change, i know that Eriko and I will be real comfortable too.

it was this site.

this site ultimately gave me the help i needed.

i have spent almost the entire day trying to get wireless networking up on my laptop. first i bought two different wireless devices and two routers from Fred Meyer but was unable to get either to work after several hours. then i drove to a little computer shop far away to get two more wireless adapters and an ethernet adapter (this serial upload link is driving me crazy). i’m really hoping i can get this stuff to work because it will save me money in the long run. i guess i couldn’t really think of a better way to spend this rainy day. ;P
