Others writing the Sunday Somethings: Kerry
Something that made me happy this week: Getting back on track with exercising.
Something i struggled with this week: My blog is suddenly getting a lot of spam comments. Like, i think i just deleted 200+ of them, and i did the same thing a few days ago. I’m accidentally deleting my recent friends’ comments too. Sigh. Anyone have any suggestions for wordpress plugins that will help? Akismo is falling down on the job.
Something tasty i ate this week: I made a tasty vegetable soup using a Weight Watchers recipe. It was quite good, and very healthy. Yay for things that are good for you and taste good, too!
Something i learned this week: Vacations that are true vacations really energize me. I was so productive this week after having a week off to relax. I need to remember this in the future.
Something from the bridge table: White on white at matchpoints, partner opens 3S in first seat. You hold T ATx AK98x AQxx. What’s your call? I bid 3N at the time, although on reflection i think 4S is much better.
Some things i am doing towards my goals: 1) I competed in a public speaking competition in my Toastmasters club. And i won. (Well, sort of. My competition was disqualified when he went over the time limit.) On to the next level, which will have contestants from 4-5 area clubs. 2) I started my photography class through Wake Tech this week. Based on the first class, i’m going to learn a LOT. Excellent.
Something i am reading: I just finished The End of Faith by Sam Harris. This book is over my head in some ways, but was very good. It’s given me a lot of things to think about.
Something happening around the house: Taking pictures of random things in trying to fulfill my photography class assignment for the week. I have no idea what i’m doing.
Something i am thinking about: Moral relativism.
Something i am looking forward to next week: My second photography class, and a money bridge game.
Something i am hoping: To re-lose the weight i re-gained while i was on vacation.
Something random: If you have music playing on your website that i can’t immediately turn off, there is a 90% chance i will not stay for more than 3 seconds and will never return.
Something captured: Another picture from the beach trip – a slightly wet Nugent has been frolicking in the waves.

Amen to your “something random”… I can’t stand music on websites, and when the way to turn it off is hidden or obscure, I’m with you… I’m outta there! Thank goodness for blog readers, so I can still read the blogs I enjoy despite their stupid music.
