word clouds

sometimes i need a quick creative fix, and wordle is just the e-toy for easy, immediate results . i made a couple of "word clouds" using the text from the post i wrote about my dad shaving, as well as from the tags on my delicious bookmarks. check them out!

• the saturday shave

• funyummylicious

try it out for yourself and leave a comment with the link to your word clouds so i can enjoy them too!

a new year, a new way

well, i've thought about it (even though it isn't thursday :-), and i've finally made a decision about what my blog will be like this year: unpredictable.

yes, i know. this type of word goes completely against the nature of a perfectionist...but hey, i'm trying to overcome the limitations that go with this quality! so here is yet another attempt at doing so. no schedule. no deadlines. no expectations. no pressure. yikes!

in 2009, i'm simply going to post here whenever i'm inspired, and whenever i have time. but getting those two things to occur simultaneously will no doubt be a challenge in and of itself!

so thanks for staying tuned in to the fast lane, where i'm still trying to be intentional about going slow!

thinking about it

hello readers!

thanks for reading about my life in the fast lane in 2008.

with the new year, i am reevaluating my activities and goals...and with that, comes this blog!

i will still write here, but am thinking about what that might look like for 2009....

i'll let you know when i'm done thinking about it and have actually made a decision. (unfortunately for a perfectionist...making just the right decision can take a while!)
