Bouncing, bouncing....

...from topic to topic that is.

3429 words on day one if Nano! I always start off strong though, and then peter out to nothingingness and bullshit though, so we shall see. I'm REALLY trying to focus on just blowing through this month, worrying about intrigue and proper names and etc, etc, etc, at a later date.
I'm not going to be posting bits of it - unless I decided that I REALLY like it. I'll post the creation story that I wrote in July, though - I really liked that.

I'm moving up to the 4g now - . My ears are a little hot, and a little surly, but it was a MUCH easier stretch than I thought it would be. I suspect it's because I REALLY let my ears heal - I've been at a 6g for - sheesh, since early summer, or so? My left ear still stretched much easier than my right, as usual - but a little Liquid Gold, and amazingly enough, it slid right in. So odd. I'm using pyrex spirals, and I'm shifting them as my ears whine more so that it's on a smaller bit.

I asked the magic 8-ball at work today whether I would get pregnant this cycle, and it said postively! *lmao* Yeah, we shall see, magic 8. Though, I think that I am FINALLY about to stop bleeding - I woke up this morning, and there was no leakage, so that's a start. I'll be so THRILLED to be having sex again, heaven knows THAT.

I've lost track of whether I'm supposed to henna this week, or next week. Oh! I need to change out my calandars, too. Hah! How appropiate! I have an Egyptian calendar, and this months image is of Horemheb, the Pharoah after Ay who was after Tutankhamun, and Horenheb happens to be the pharoah that is in power when my MC in Nano dies.....but, anyhow, henna. This weekend is a chruch meeting, and I don't think that there is anything going on next weekend....so I might wait. Or I might not. We'll see how I feel on Saturday.

Suprisingly enough, I don't have any plans for this weekend. I need to shove some more dirt around the roots of the bushes we moved - I didn't have the energy to do that last weekend. Ooh, and maybe I should start working on some clothes. I went to the thrift store today, a scooped up a big white board - I think that will make a suitable 'no cut' board for a rotatry blade. I'm cheeeaaapppppp and I REALLY don't wanna pay freaking 40 bucks for a tiny rotatry board.
Kiss mah grits.

Urm, whatelse?

I think that about covers it.

*blinks*

Oh my god.

It's almost November.

Like - it will BE November in roughly 29 hours (give or take how long it takes me to post this).

November.

That means......

NaNoWriMo

And holy shit, the site is so busy that it won't come up.

I'm thoughtful and scared and nervous and I actually have a pretty solid core of a story for a book.... and I think it will be fun..... and it would DEFINITELY be at least 50K words - easy.

Wow......

I really think I might do this.

*runsaroundmadlywavingherhandsoverherhead*

I'm really going to do this.

Ooooooh.

Fun.

I think what I will do is, make entries about Nano here, and just save them as drafts.... because I don't want anyone to jack my whole novel. Seriously, I think this one might be really good. Anyhow, I'll post some 'open' entries, and crosspost them to OD.

Heh.

Work is worship.

I'm late! I'm Late! Nano & Politics

8468 - I'm behind!! (should be 10K by now)  - but I banged out 3K words yesterday, and I'm geared up to do the same today (I have SOUP!) so, I'm not really stressing.  I'm behind cuz I didn't write on Friday, Saturday, OR Sunday - I know, I know. But I hate sitting in front of my computer at home to write, when I could be doing other stuff. Whereas at work, I'm FORCED to sit in front of my computer, so dammit, I might as well write.

No one had died yet, nothing odd has happened yet, but I'm setting it all up.

Um. Um, yeah - OD'ing always suffers, as I feel guilty about writing if I haven't written yet, ya know?

I voted (have you?) and it felt throughly futile. I've lost all - faith in the political/electoral process..... ah, FoxTrot can say it better than I can.

So - yeah. Go vote. And hope that who you want to win, is who is going to win - cuz your vote has  a 50/50 chance of actually MATTERING.

*sigh*

 

Colorgenics....(and again, BAAAAAAAAA!)

Haven't even started writing today - naughty, naughty girl. I've been pounding away on a document I need to get done for SWHC that I need to finish at work so that I can print out many many free copies, so - yeeeahhh.

I may be the oddest person ever - really - I get moody for the silliest of reasons - just resentful that things aren't going MY way. *stomps foot*

Why yes, I AM a brat.

But - onto the profile!

You are seeking protection against anything which might seem to be exhausting you or tiring you out. It would appear that you are seeking a life of security and physical ease, free from any problem or disturbance.

Being a likeable person you get on well with neighbours and friends. You don't need anything to 'Rock your boat'. You want to 'love' and to be loved'.

The present situation, not of your making, is forcing you to compromise. You will have to hold back and forgo some of your hopes, dreams and aspirations.

Recent disappointment has led you to become truly introverted. You are becoming suspicious of everybody and consequently you now feel that you are unable to trust anybody. Unfortunately it would appear that you are curbing your natural enthusiasm and imaginative nature - perhaps this is because you are fearful that you may become over enthused and find that you could possibly be carried away by wishful thinking. You are keeping your distance to see whether attitudes towards you are sincere - but this watchfulness could easily develop into suspicion and distrust.

In the past your trusting attitude has often been misunderstood and so you have needed to protect yourself against your tendency to be abused and taken advantage of. As a consequence you possibly adopt an aloof and critical attitude and you are only willing to let your guard down once sincerity and trustworthiness can be assured.

Suprisingly on point - esp. in the particular mood I'm in. I'll have to do this again when I'm a wee bit more cheerful. *glares at nothing in particular*

*crunches into chocolate*

And - why! Why! Would you a) give away OLD candy (like stale icky old) for Halloween, and then! THEN! bring the even staler, ickier, leftovers to work to torment your coworkers? I mean damn ya'll - if ya gon give away candy from 2003, at least keep it in the freezer so that it stays FRESH.

Though, I suppose I shouldn't be eating candy ANYWAY - my ass is still - wide (hah! it hasn't been not-wide since I was 6!) but - I'm actually starting to ENJOY working out more. I can't say that I look FORWARD to it - there's always a little debbil sitting on my shoulder, asking me in sweet sweet tones whether I would really PREFER to go home and crash on the couch and burn my brain away with television - but once I get there, and once I get changed - it's - it's - good. I'm enjoying challenging myself (dammit! forgot to bring in the 8 pound weights from home!), seeing myself progress (I did 40 minutes on the treadmill Wednesday - and not 40 lesiurely minutes either - 40 sweaty, heartpoiunding, felt funny walking once I got off the treadmill and sucked down a bottle and a half of water minutes - and I felt GOOD - 2 months ago, I was sucking wind through 12 minutes!) - but..... I'm not seeing the changes in my body that I want to. Now, I KNOW that because I'm doing some serious weightlifting, that I'm going to get bigger before I get smaller, and I'm going to gain weight before I lose it, and I'm NOT doing this to see instant results - I'm doing this to be better and faster and stronger....but all I'm saying is that when I get measured week after next, if I haven't lost at LEAST 2 inches overall (which ain't much - really, that ain't much at all) I'm going to leave, buy an entire pint of Ben & Jerry's, and eat it with delighted, luxorious slowness - and then, take my ass right back to the gym to the next day.
The thing that scares me - the real devil lurking in the back of my head - is that the reason that the weight is creeping off so very very slowly is that there is something 'wrong' with me - PCOS, hypothyroidism, pre-diabetes, and that I'm simply sick, and I'll never be able to get knocked up without many rounds of fertility drugs and I'll be fat ALL MY LIFE.
But then, I have to remind myself - I'm SO not eating as cleanly (or as much protien) as I should be, and that I didn't gain it all in 2 months (more like 20 years) (okay, okay, 10 years), and I'm not going to lose it all in 2 months, and I can't be impatient because it's a slow gradual thing, and because most of my clothes are sacks anyway and I haven't worn pants in months (I've worn pants twice since it's gotten colder and they feel - ODD on me) so I don't haveany thing with a 'tight' waistline to compare my waistline too because I'm still too fat to even dream of trying on any of my skinny clothes and therefore I could be changing and I wouldn't even know it because the scale LIES and.......................
And I have muscles in new places and I can run up and down the steps a couple of times without losing breath and I'm stronger and can open bottles and hammer nails and drive screws without feeling like my hands are going numb and I'm sleeping better and I feel sexier and I think I actually have a metabolism now and it's slow - and it's minor - and I can't see it on my ass (yet) but I know it's coming. It's gotta be coming.

I've never looked forward to someone wrapping a measuring tape around my ass THIS much before in my life.

Okay. I have to get back to this ^($&%$*&%$ $ document now.

Nano count later.... much later, as I might not write til I get home, depending on how the afternoon goes.

*kisses*

5469!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Continuing on with my beastliness today - thank god I have no plot, as I have no clue what I'm doing.
Really - this is the easy part - I'm introducing characters (and do I care if they are consistent? Nope, not at all), and fleshing out backstories and setting up stuff for future twists. But still - 10%!!! In two days!! Icouldbe finished before T'giving at this rate! *ROFLOL* Um, yeah. I'm just building up extra word stock so that when I start to hate it, and hate it with a passion, I'll only have to slog through 15K words rather than 35K.

So far, I've commited at least one writing sin, telling instead of showing, and I so really am NOT going back to tweak it, nope, nope, nope.

YAY!!! For the DM creating a Circle for us Nano and NoJo types... if I write one Nano entry everyday for a month, does that automatically qualify me for NoJo?

Um. I'm wearing pants today, and they feel VERY odd. (utterly not NaNo related, but I had to tell someone!)

Remember - no plot, no PROBLEM!!!

Write ON!!!

Whooohoooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

*wishes the DM had the headbanging rocker smiley*

2444!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Arrggghhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So yeah, I went all beastly on my first day of Nano. So far, I'm actually having FUN. As I was falling asleep last night (at 10pm, cuz I'm an old fogey) (actually, it was all my husbands fault, as he's up to hijinks, and therefore I had to come to work early today) all sorts of additional, extra-special, utterly brilliant plot ideas came to me. So far, I'm sticking with my starting idea of a murder mystery, but because no matter how hard I try, I ALWAYS manage to end up writing a sci-fi/fantasy book, I just gave in, and made them vampires.  Ohhhh yeah.  *LOL* And they're a poly triad... oohh yeah! And - one of them is going to get knocked off by another one - can you say, the love is gone?? Mwuaahahaha!!!

So - this is my goal.  I'm going to write each chapter in the form of  'Number of the Beast' by Heinlien, where each chapter was first person view from a different one of the main characters.  I now have four MC's.  I figure each chapter should be at LEAST 2k words - so that way, it's easier for me to write a big chunk in one fell swoop.  I want to get all my writing done at work, and do other stuff (research,  timelines - which I already need one of!) at home.  Writing 2K words a day will still leave me a little short if I don't write on weekends - so I'm planning on 3K words over Saturday/Sunday.

Um....what else, what else? Ah! I've come up with a title: "Triads and Tribulations" *dies laughing* *clears throat* Um, yes.  And there will be Sex! And Murder! And Money! And I utterly refuse to think about this at all, because then I'll get bogged down in my right brain and this is the left brains turn to go, go, go!

And I must go, and eat, as my tummy doesn't care about word counts.

Bummer.

Nano Survey (cuz, Baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!)

Look everybody, it’s a NaNoWriMo survey! Stolen from the everso fabulousTemmykins!

What’s your NaNoWriMo screenname? MindOfKiya - because it just sounded right
Why did you decide to do NaNoWriMo? Because I'm insane, obviously. Isn't that why anyone does this? But no, really - I'm doing it to see if I can.
Have you outlined your book’s plot? Plot? What is this thing you call a plot? Hmmm?
What genre will your book most likely fit into? Insane babblings....seriously. I've been having dreams lately, and whhhhooooohooo. While my intial thoughts were a mystery, um....well. Let's just say it's - getting interesting.
What’s the title of your book? Title?? What is this thing you call a title??? Hmmm??
What music will you listen to when you write? Instrumentals usually - oohhh. I need to put together an iPod playlist for Nano!! I get distracted if there are words... ohh butterfly.....
What’s in your NaNoWriMo survival kit? Large amounts of instant sleep, a computer, pens, paper, cloves (if I was still smoking), a thesarus and a dream journal. Hey, if Stephen King can do it, why can't I??
How many writing buddies do you have? 10? 11?
Do you honestly think you’ll win NaNoWriMo by writing 50,000 words in a month or less? Ummm....the only RIGHT answer is yes. A better question would be - will I still be SANE by December 1st?
Do you have any tips for fellow Nanos? DON'T REREAD YOUR WORK UNTIL IT'S DONE!! Esp. if you are an editing freak like me, because you will lose more time rewriting than you will writing. Keep notes of maor plot arcs, and be willing to scrap them in a second for a really FUNNY idea. Warn your family and loved ones that you will be walking around in a muttering, heavylidded stupor that only raises when you are in front of a computer - and TALK to the other Nanos - we'll keep each other sane.
Make a NaNoWriMo pledge here and now in front of all these witnesses. I pledge to write 2000 words a day - words that fit into a sentence structure (unless it's mad crazy dialouge) - words that are in English (unless you know, their Martians or something) words that - words that make me laugh - even if it's in that 'Oh my god, what was I SMOKING???!!?!??' sort of way. Cross my heart and hope to win.

Notes for [Nano]

• "It was thought if a black cat jumped over a corpse, the corpse would
  turn into a vampire and the only way to prevent that from happening
  was to kill the cat. However, since it was also considered bad luck
  to kill a cat, people realized they needed to lock away the dead
  bodies so a cat couldn't find them. This is how the first stone crypts
  came to be built underneath churches."
• 
  It listed a whole bunch of different ways one could become a vampire (desperately trying to find it now). One of such ways was to sleep with your grandmother.

Um, why am I doing this to myself AGAIN?

See - this is one of the reasons that NaNo makes me want to pull my hair out - I'm always torn between going with the flow and seeing what I sqeeuze out 11/1, versus plotting my ass off, and having a detailed outline BEFORE 11/1.
I've done it both ways before - plotting and no plotting - and I've still never won. The plotted one was fun - it's actually one of the ones that I need to pick back up, but I got so SICK of it (it was pap, really) that I put it down, and have never started back on it, because to do that I'm going to have to read what I wrote, and if I read, I'm going to hae to edit/rewrite, and if I do that - well, the whole damn thing is going to go downhill from there.

And then, there's the fact that I don't even know what GENRE I'm going for this year. I'm done sci/fi twice, chick lit once....and I really don't want to do either this year. I was thinking about going straight for romance (which really would be a bit of cheating, as they are SOOOOO formulaic), or maybe - and this is tugging on me - just maybe, I'll do a mystery. I've never written a mystery - never tried to write one. I'm not a big mystery READER, but I love Law & Order, CSI, New Detectives, Forensic Files, the whole nine. I've got a VAGUE idea of a plot - very vague. No characters, no location (I kinda wanna cheat and work some outside interests into Nano, so that whatever I'm boning up on to write about, I'll actaully need to be using outside Nano - so that'll most likely determine my characters/locations).......

So. The plot I have, I'm almost certain has been used before, but I'm thinking of doing a double twist........

The idea is that Lisa has commited suicide, but framed Jane for her murder, but in reality, Oscar killed Lisa AND framed Jane.... (the names were totally pulled out of my booty, and will NOT actually be used).

*grins* Murder is easy. Means, Motive, Opportunity. I can get creative with the suicide, creative with the levels of twisted motives, and I think I'll start backwards - it's always more fun to start with the dead body, isn't it?

Hmmm - I wonder if that is the plot of the OD Murder Mystery? Dammit...that would suck - though I know where I got the idea from - it was a conversation me & one o mah bois were having about Hiphop - and I said that hiphop was dead... he said that hiphop was murdered by rap - but I was thinking that it was a willing participant in it's own murder - so really, hiphop commited suicide, and let rap take the fall for it. But - in reality - greedy record executives murdered hiphop, and set up rap to take the fall... so - yeah..... music.

Okay..... *wanders off muttering about blunt objects*

Low Tolerance

Is it possible to have POST-menstural syndrome? Or, is my tolerance for idiots, assholes, and stupidity just gone down, once again??

I don't know what it is, but I have been in a 'bite your head off' mood ALLL damn day. Okay, not all day - I was sunshine and light leaving home, and driving to work, but I got here and I feel like the Dark Cloud o'Doom has settled lovingly over my shoulders. And I've eaten (and eaten, god, how sick I am of eating) so it's not like my blood sugar is low. I wish I took a tae-bo class or something, because whoopin some ass sounds like a GOOD idea right now...and I'd LIKE to be somewhat pleasant once I get home, as my husband has one of his rare midweek days off.

Anyhow!

My utterly insane tail has decided to do NaNoWriMo this year - I don't make any promises to the likelihood that I will finish, but meh - at least I'll start. I'm trying to figure out where I'm going to write - I might do private entries here so that I can access my WIP anywhere I am. Maybe. 

ETA: I'm MindOfKiya over on the NaNo side.... so if ya see me, say hi!!! :)

Maybe I'm just tired.

*growl*

Huh? Monday already???!!!

*deep breath*

All I need is 100K. Hell, 50K would do it for right now. That's it - really. *deep breath* But patience is a virtue, and who knows what coming around the corner and...and....and.....dammit. *breathes*

Umm - let's see - this weekend was - good. It's amazing how much time flies when you aren't doing a damn thing. Friday was a non-day, as I developed the headache from hell while browsing the thrift store (more about my scores there later) and left work around 3:30. Was home and sleep by 4:00pm, didn't wake up fully until around 9am Saturday morning. Yup - a full seventeen HOURS of sleep. It was the best rested I've been in - years. Years, I tell you. *sigh* Yet another thing that'll be a fond memory of the past once kids end up in the picture.

Saturday - I was a busy little bee! After the hubby headed off to work (he closed this weekend) I finally got outside and finished off my compost pile - *wrinkles nose* cut grass that has been left in black plastic bags for a few weeks is NOT the most pleasant variety of green things to be around, that's for bloody sure. But now, I've got a HUGE pile over in one corner, a much smaller 'mound' over the strip where the strawberry plants are going, and a wire cage half full of spare leaves to cover the kitchen waste as it goes out. I think I'm about done for the season - though, if any of my close neighbors toss out a bag or two of leaves - oooohh - mulch & additional cover for kitchen bits throughout the winter! Then, I cleaned the downstairs, washed the kitchen floor, baked two loaves of bread (STILL denser than I want - what's the secret to FLUFFY bread??? - damn good stuff though) and *thinks* then I crashed. I refused to leave the house at all on Saturday or Sunday - nope, nope, nope. I made up for the busyness of Saturday by not doing a damn THING sunday. We sat around, drinking beer, chitchatting - he played video games most of the day, I read *Thinks* 4 books? 3?? Not sure....but it went by WAYYY too fast. I looked up, it was 10pm, I was yawning, and I hadn't even tossed a load or two into the washer. *shakes head*

But speaking of books - the thrift store scores!! I went to pick up some wine glasses - I was hoping to find something kinda kickass and different, but eh - ended up with two plain old stemmed glasses. The first score consisted of two heavyweight GLASS loaf pans in almost perfect condition for five bucks (for BOTH! one was 2 and one was 3)!  I've been making bread in all KINDS of differently shaped containers, because I wanted the 'larger' sized loaf pans - and I didn't really WANT the non-stick ones, as I know they lie. So, I had been keeping an eye out for some glass loaf pans - but to find TWO - and in almost perfect shape! *nods* Thrilled, I was. Then, I strolled over to the book section, and found a reference manual from the editors of 'Organic Gardening' all about how to maximize the yield from your garden - organically! It has listing of companion plants,  planting times, digging patterns, compost suggestions - this book is a GREAT resource - 2 bucks. *delighted sigh* I SOOO do enjoy the thrift store. And this was the one by work - not even the one by U of M where I found the breastfeeding books at! I'm thinking that I might swing by the Goodwill near U of M and see what they have to offer- it's right around the corner from the Y - maybe I should start parking in their parking lot (as the Y almost NEVER has parking available) and then walking to the Y - it's barely a block, and it'll get me a little loosened up - besides giving me a chance to see what they have. Hmmm. *grins* But really, the last thing I need is an excuse to spend MORE money.

What else? Work - is -  boring as HELL. Do ya hear me Big Brother?? I can do my responsibilites, as well as those of two of my coworkers, on a daily basis with one HAND tied behind my back. Argh!! And ya know - I can't blame anyone but myself, as I knew when I TOOK this job I was overqualified - I did. I knew that it would be slow, slow, slow. But - I still took it, because of the money (oh, when will I learn) and I'm gonna stick with it (because of the money - still haven't learned) for at least another 16 months. After that - *shrugs* who knows?  The Access project I volunteered for is more or less done - I just need to write up a users guide, add a small subform, and let everyone get a good look at it and beat the bugs out - and I think I'll be done with it. 3 weeks, like I said - 3 bloody months! Indeed! I've been trying to drag it out though - simply so that I'll have something to DO here on a daily basis. If I had - any damn sense at all - I'd finish writing the book while I'm bored out of my head - funnily enough, I don't want my pseudo-boss to hear me typing all day. Heh. Stupid excuse, I know - but that whole 'thing' is something I'll have to hash out in another entry.

Speaking of writing - this is the first year since I found out about it that I consiously did NOT do Nanowrimo. Last year, I planned on doing it, but time got away from me, I looked up, and it was like November 21st, and while I'm occasionally demented - never THAT crazy. *laughs*
Had a recent conversation with myle, in which somehow I got into a conversation with my 20 year old self. I had excellent responses to ALL of her 'what in the hell happened????' questions except for the one around my art. I've just - laid it to the side. I don't have a URGE to create - it's - dormant, almost. I still know that I can - it's just that the need isn't there - and I don't know how to wake the sleeping beast. Anyhow - I don't know. I've started one weekly ritual, maybe I will be able to kick off another. 500 word or poem minimum?? (and why do I get the eerie feeling that one of my faves is doing this, and the idea has been mouldering in the back of my head for a while...). I'd most likely cheat, and go for a poem most of the time. *thinks*  Need to consider a subject - maybe I could go to one word and get something from there.  But once again - it's something that I feel like I SHOULD be doing, not something that I WANT to do. Eh.

 

*snort*

Failure, failure, failure.

I haven't written a SINGLE bloody word. Oh Well. I guess it wasn't meant to be......

Wow!

That was fast - it's 8pm the day before Nano - and I JUST realized it.

I haven't thought much more about my book - I've given the main character a last name, but other than that - that's it.

And oddly enough - I'm not going to think about it. I'm just going to - run with it. How utterly unlike me, and I think I'll give it up in about three weeks and 25K words but I think I'll have a shitload of fun doing it.

I'm going to aim for 2K words a day - I'm sure there will be points where I won't be able to work on it - or where I just give up, but - I'll try my damnedest.

planning

So.... I signed up for Nano. Like I say each year - I think I might be crazy enough to do it this time.

As usual, when I signed up, I had no clue what the hell I am going to write about - but I still had to come up with something to put in the 'title' box. I put in 'No Earthly Clue' - and over the next day or two realized that could actually be a pretty interesting title to a book.

I don't think I'm going to try to write fantasy this time - or at least not the out of 'this' world kind, even though with a title like that, it almost begs to be used prettily - bt, I think I'm really going to go straight beach reading.

So far I've got Jessamyn - the main character - she's got a quasi-live in boyfriend, a ferret, and she used to have a very nice job.

I'm thinking of it kinda as a novel of self-discovery (and yes, I'm going to be writing a hell of alot of me and the thoughts and crap I'm dealing with now (plus some wishful thinking) into it) with a little bit of adventure and sex thrown in for good measure.

I know where she's going to start, and I have a rough idea of a few things that shes' going to encounter - but I still don't have a really clear idea of where she's going to end up - which makes it a little more interesting.

I usually plot out almost the entire book BEFORE I set down to write - it takes shitload of time, but it's my way to organize. However, I've noticed that I'll do some sort of freaking plot change in the first third of the book that almost invalidates the road map I've created - which therefore leads me more towards wasting huge chunks of time than really getting organized.

So this time, I'm jsut going to do the high level stuff - character sketchs, climaxes, and maybe a pre-thought out plot twist or two. I already know she's not getting pregnant, raped or married......*grins* maybe briefly kidnapped though - that might be fun. She's definitely going to travel - and I think she might sketch. Hm.

*grins* So - I'm getting excited - it's going to be a real struggle not to Mary Sue her - I have to be sure to come up wih some real faults when I do her character sketch.

Hm. :)

Weekend Recap....

*Grins*

Well.. that is one way to get around it. I wrote about her drunk to start off with, and I wrote about her in third person (though that was by accident). So…. I was able to flow about her for a while, and then I switched over to the boy toy.  It’s odd writing this, because I honestly don’t know what is going to happen, and I get the urge to ‘read’ ahead to see what is going on…but I can’t cuz I’m writing it.  How wild is that??  I guess that is a sign that it is pretty darn interesting.

This weekend was really nice.  I didn’t do a damn thing but write and sleep and veg out in general. Actually, I take that back. I did clean up the living room and do the kitty’s box, and  reorganize my file box (as I have to do every 6 months or so).  I wanted to go driving, but as I had left my wallet with my ID in it at work (nicely covered by a bunch of papers) I didn’t really want to go gallivanting about with expired temp. plates AND no license AND no registration AND no proof of insurance. Somehow, I think that would have been temping the fates just a BIT much.  :)  

I got up to 7114 words, which means that I am right on track. I have today’s requirement to fulfill, but I don’t think that will be too hard. :) I might have found something that will eliminate most of my boredom at work.  *evil grin* And just imagine… if I write truly for a living… I will have two jobs at once. MWAHAHAHAHAHA……

I’m so so broke. It’s really sad. Oh! and the boy got fired. :(   How much does that suck?? I went all paranoid and anal (inside my head) for a little while… and as he knows me so damn well I know that he KNOWS that I went all anal and paranoid in my head…but I just had to calm down.  *shrugs* He is good at getting jobs. *raised eyebrow* Not quite as good with keeping them…but… I don’t go to work with him every day, so I don’t know. He says that it is all about hateration…but *shrugs* I’m a relative innocent as far as  employment politics go.  So… I’m sitting here printing out some resumes for him.  *deep breath* I will not freak out. I will not freak out. :) Urgh.

Anything else going on?? *thinks* Nope… that’s about it.  I am 2 pounds short of my “Can I have another ring goal??” so that’s exciting.  Have I mentioned that I have totally changed my mind about what I want? No…. hmm… I will have to post the pictures of the new one.  I still want a princess cut, but I decided that I don’t really like the setting of the one that I shown before. *shrugs* It’s too high set. So……I want this setting:  with a princess cut stone in it. :) It’s going to be a little over 1 carat, and I’m hoping that’s not too big. *sighs* I want my version of perfection….is that brattishly greedy of me?? I’m more than willing to pay for more than half of it. *sighs*  But anyhow… this setting is a lot lower. And it has the pretty crisscross thing going on. :)  *sighs*
Next week…. well actually I will wait till he gets a job to ask him. :) I’d hate to make him feel really bad.
*grins*

 

Ummm….I broke 1800 in the car!! Whoohooo!! I need to look at the users manual to see what kind of checkups and jazz that I need.  I think I might have already passed the first milestone (1200) but I’m not sure.

Um. I’m done for now.

Stay Jazzed.
