Catching my breath…. puff, puff, puff

Catching my breath…. puff, puff, puff

Since I’m home alone (at last!) today, I’m trying to work on my bedroom, specifically, getting some of the floor picked up in front of my husband’s dresser so he can put his clothes in it. He’s got three  baskets full of clean stuff that hasn’t been put away  because, frankly, there’s too much junk in our bedroom! Too much from both of us; I’m as much to blame for this condition as he is.   Laundry, laundry, laundry! That’s the…

A cool new picture!

A cool new picture!

The Girl has created a picture of The White Winds boys for me! I’m going to add it to my pictures here and it’s already at my Photobucket account. Right now, all I have is the black and white version, but she is going to color it for me!   I just love it!!

crossposted from my livejournal Boy #1 has been home sick with a fever; the second day in a row for him. It struck me this morning that this was probably the result of his vaccination last week; he had a DPT booster. If the fever continues tomorrow, then I’ll call the doctor. It’s not like the fever’s very high or anything, it’s just annoying enough to keep him home from school. Boy #2 has a basketball practice today. He’s going…

Woo Hoo!! The day looks brighter!

Woo Hoo!! The day looks brighter!

The plumbers are gone!!   They left behind them a fixed bathtub, and water turned back on in the house! Our water bill should drop without that annoying drip, and the faucet should fit again, once Hubby puts the wall back together. The dishwasher is running, then the washing machine will be, then just about everyone will have a nice, hot shower! Woo Hoo!   And…. ff.net is working again. Don’t know why it was offlline before, but I was…

Wow! So soon!

Wow! So soon!

I went to add We’ll Always Have Paris to my account at Lunaescence and what did I find? I’m already on “validated” status! That means my stories automatically go up, and don’t have to be reviewed by the mods! Wow! I’m excited! It’s especially exciting considering that they only had A Possum Tale, and two chapters of Burning Muses to go by before they made the decision!   This doesn’t mean that I can drop my guard and post tacky…

Another chapter up and one ready

Another chapter up and one ready

Finished a chapter of The White Winds yesterday and beta’d it today with Hobbeth. Also got another chapter of Overtures up on the 21st. Ff.net isn’t allowing uploads, so I posted TWW at FicWad. I think it will get good reviews.   At least now the hit counters are working.   More later.   It’s later. The document manager is still timing out at ff.net, a very frustrating occurance. I know I’m not the only one frustrated by this. Well,…

Got another chapter of Overtures up

Got another chapter of Overtures up

And it’s about time, too. My writing has been soooo sluggish lately. I know I need to do it, I know I want to do it, but I can’t get myself to do it. Overtures has been primary in my thoughts, but The White Winds needs updating. Not to mention the places where I RP and the plot synopses I want to do for IR Central. I’ve been doing a lot of betareading lately, some of which has been difficult…

A new addition to the household

A new addition to the household

cross posted from my lj.   Well, Boy #1 is now officially 12, and as a birthday gift, we bought him a larger fish tank. The size has doubled, from 10 gallons to 20, and it has upgraded fluorescent lights, so he can have aquatic plants – something he’s been agitating for. The fish seem to have come through spending a night or so in a big red bowl, and with the clean rocks and the nice gravel, the tank…

Found a new fic archive

Found a new fic archive

Found a new place to host my fics. It’s called FicWad. I had heard of it a few weeks ago, and had pestered the admins to put up Thunderbirds categories in both TV and movies. They finally did the other day, and boy! There was an onslaught of fics! Hobbeth, andrewjameswilliams, chibimax and I all put stuff up within a 48 hour period. There are now 25 fics in the TV section and three or four in the Movie! I…

The Valentine story is up

The Valentine story is up

It’s entitled We’ll Always Have Paris, and I’ve added it to my story listings here. Quiller put hers up this afternoon and I thought I’d follow suit. I hope it’s well received. We’ll see.   Not much more to tell. The family has gone to the Grand Prix at church; the boys barely got their cars done with lots of help from their Dad and sister. Boy #1’s has a chance at a design prize, he made a snake. Boy #2’s? Well,…
