irrelevant (and sometimes questionable) ramblings

The next one’s on the table, folks.

It’s started, but I’ve got to work on the synopsis a bit and see just where this ends, exactly.

This one also has the potential to be the first in a trilogy, so we shall see just what happens, there…

(Yes, I am trying to keep my momentum going. Honest. )

Happy belated to all the Maternal ones out there! Anybody get burnt pancakes or toast, or inexplicable breakfast items?

I didn’t.

Anyhoo. Success was in the air today, en route home — a quick stop at a dress boutique yielded one outfit for the upcoming weddings! Yay! I’m rather pleased. Of course, I don’t have shoes that would match, so that means shoe shopping is also in order… hehe.

This takes a little bit of stress off — now I have a bigger window in which to shop for a secondary outfit for the second wedding. W00T!

Well, several late nights in a row mean I’m going to crash now. (For the second time this evening. Oops.)

Catch you on the flip side!

Well, folks, the next submission is OFF! I just emailed it away, and I will let you know what happens.

Of course, now I have knots in my stomach.

In the meantime, of course, could you send good thoughts to Spice Briefs for me? It’d be *much* appreciated. Thanks!!

Have a good weekend, gang — we’re off on a whirlwind overnighter to Southern Ontario — and I’ll see you when we get back!

Today snuck up on me this year. Somehow, I completely forgot.

Or else I’ve been blocking it out. Hard to say.

Anyway. Raise a glass for me, and I’ll happily do the same for you.

Finito.

Yes, indeedy, Ladies and Germs — Lovely is complete. (Thank God…!)

Now it’s off for a crit, and it’ll be back for (hopefully just) a quick tidy, and then it’ll be speeding on its way to Spice Briefs.

Eep!

But for now, I am Going. To. Bed. Night!

Lookie at yon word count meter there, folks.

I’m not done quite yet, but damn, I’m close. I had a later start tonight, so that’s what has delayed me.

Otherwise, I should be wrapping this puppy up tomorrow. W00T!

I’ll keep you posted…

Upon first viewing the car, my boy Einstein described it thusly: “It’s like you — practical, but with a touch of sass.”

I think so, too. What do you think?

I’ll tell you, this is one bad boy, all right. And boy, do I like it.

I would have written “Hatred” instead of “Passion”, but it didn’t rhyme. Although that’s how I really feel about the matter.

One of the problems about living in a smaller town is the lack of decent clothing stores. I have not one, but TWO family weddings to go to this spring, and I have yet to find anything to wear. My closet was emptied of all the fancy stuff last summer when it got too big for me. (Yeah, I know: complain, complain.)

So I spent the day tooling around IN MY NEW CAR doing some clothes shopping, and I found nothing that I liked. And the handful of garments I thought were *okay* ended up looking nicer on the hanger than they did on me.

The bottom line is, I spent all day burning gas IN MY NEW CAR, with not even one dress to show for it.

Bah. Bugger.

Well, at least I got to drive around IN MY NEW CAR. And there *is* a last-minute shopping trip to the big ‘burb of Toronto scheduled in a week. Keep your fingers crossed that I’ll find something, otherwise I’m going in my pajamas. (Well, at least that way, I’ll be *extra*-comfortable. Heh.)

ps. Yes, I got my car. The weather’s lousy today, so I can’t take a picture, but the minute I can, you’ll get to see it. I promise.  

I’ve done it.

I’ve figured out how to party and have fun, and not feel like microwaved death the next day. Wanna hear it? Here you go:

1. Start drinking early. (Like, 5PM or earlier.)
2. Quit drinking early. (Around 10PM.)
3. Drink lots of water. (About four 250-mL glasses or so.)
4. Go to bed ASAP and get almost a normal night’s sleep. (I was in bed before 11PM last night.)

End result?

Today I feel almost completely normal. I get a tiny ebb of nausea once in a while, and I’m a little tired, but otherwise good. Who knew it could be this easy?

*insert hysterical laughter here*

ps. T-minus 7 hours, twenty minutes to New Car. W00T!

I know I’ve been in and out quite a bit lately, but it’s gotten awfully quiet in here.

What’s everybody up to?

If you’ll notice, I’ve added to yon word count meter over on the side there. (Yay!) Let’s just say the end is a bit closer in sight now. (Why did I do something silly like leave the big secks scene to write last?? Yeesh…)

Tomorrow night’s kinda shot because there’s a work party in the evening. And then Thursday night it’s an early birthday celebration (Whee!).

Not to mention, of course, on Thursday I shall also be picking up my brand spankin’ new ve-hickle! Yee-haw! (I know, I know. Finally!)

So hopefully by sometime this weekend this sucker will be finito.

Jeebus. It had better well be, or I might be driven to run down the street, screaming and poking out my eyeballs with dull pencils.

Keep your fingers crossed that *that* doesn’t happen, ok?

Later, gators!
