  1. Am so irritated w/ kids' dentist. They always underestimate insurance copays, overcharge me, and then I have to ASK for my credit back! Grr.
  2. @lissamatthews The words "reindeer" & "blend" next to each other disturb me. U know abt the coffee that's been pooped out by civets, right?
  3. And the short story, she is done! Woohoo!
  4. @melissablue13 Nooooo! Living through the 80s once was enough to last me a lifetime.
  5. Heard at dr's office: Two words that should never issue from any male person's mouth: "fanny pack." I'd rather hear "man purse."
  6. Just hit 2k. Am definitely going over, lol.
  7. Okay, buckling down to wrap up my short story. It'll go a bit over the 2k minimum, but I'm having fun with it.
  8. @victoriajanssen WEREWOLVES OF LONDON by Warren Zevon. Oh wait, dang, that's a song and you said book or movie. Pooh!
  9. Wow. Word count up to 1833. One more short scene and this baby is history!
  10. Less than 400 words until I can say "done." I do love writing very short stories, although it's definitely a challenge!
  11. Am making turkey hash for dinner. Since we were away all weekend and had no turkey, it all feels new again.
  12. @jodywallace Holy crap, I didn't know I possessed a collector's item. I must say, it's funny and the art is EXQUISITE.
  13. @jodywallace Hands down, CAT YOU BETTER COME HOME by Garrison Keillor.
  14. 999 into my 2000 word short. Should be able to finish tomorrow. I pray. It's already a month late :(. But turning out pretty good, I think!
  15. Did I mention minimum days are finally over? Thank DOG!
  16. @shannonstacey I remember that episode of Castle, just FWIW.
  17. Mercy, it's cold, but I REFUSE to turn on the heater until the winter solstice. I DO live in SoCal. Time for hot tea!
  18. Sometimes, I think it helps me to be reminded that struggling is par for the course, not just about ME. @ShelliStevens @PortiaDaCosta
  19. This is a GREAT (if depressing) article about the realities of publishing for midlist authors: http://bit.ly/8Q5FEG
  20. I think it's hilarious that I poste about disliking LV, and now have to block all kinds of gaming followers. Um, people, I said DO NOT LIKE!
