A brief summary of my life this month...

I keep thinking I should update my blog, since I almost never update anything else, but it seems there is never enough interesting stuff to talk about. So I'll update in bullet form to make it less painful for you to read:

- I am in the top three (of 150 teams) in my hockey pool! It's not the usual sort of hockey pool, it's a Fantasy Hockey Hair Pool. No real hockey knowledge required, but a sense of humour definitely is. You get points when your selected players show up in the media without a hockey helmet or a baseball cap on. I'd probably be Number 1 in the pool except one of my players has been out injured, and on the day they announced his return to play, he injured his hand (you know who you are, J. Staal).

- I am attempting to write a 50,000 words of fiction this month. That's 1667 words a day, if you're superstitious about the number 1666.

- I have to replace the tires on Barbie (the Malibu, for those in the know) so have to learn enough about tires not to make a costly mistake.

- I have started yoga. I'm not very good at it, but I've given myself a year to get better before I quit in a huff.

So I hope I haven't wasted your time with this rather dull summing up of my life to date. But if I have, really it's your own fault for having such unexciting friends.
