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 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…
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,…
Chapter 20 of The White Winds went up today. Not a long one by any means, but it’s there. And I feel like I should work and finish this story up. Maybe get a chapter or two of Overtures done along the way, but focus on one story to complete it. Like I did with Masquerade. I had a bit of an epiphany on the ending of the Masquerade story arc, but I don’t know if it will work. Hopefully I’ll…
I don’t know how to say this. The other day as I accessed Thunderbirds World through my bookmark, I noticed a “Hmm. We can’t find that page” notice from MSN Groups. I emailed MSN Groups tech support twice to find out what was the problem. I finally got a response today. This is part of it: **Please be informed that the said Group, “ThunderbirdsWorld,” is no longer available. I am sorry to hear about this though I cannot determine more…
Right now my feet are doing the “neuropathy dance” for the first time in, well, months. I figure it’s either a new front coming through as it’s supposed to rain tomorrow, or it’s hormones, or it’s both. I doubt it’s my blood glucose because it’s been pretty good over the past couple of days. Of course, the real test will be on Monday, when I see Dr. E. for my hemoglobin A1C test. A little later I’ll have my hubby rub my…
Well, the Hubby is getting better, if you don’t count his cold. Two of the cats, Tika and Cotton, have been to see the vet (finally!) and now have been dewormed and given shots for their itchy skin (and flea treatment, as well). Boy #2 has been busy. He won his second basketball game 16-10 and was very happy. He also got a special t-shirt for scoring Advanced on the state achievement test last spring (one of five in his school to…
The Hubby broke a tooth some time ago, and late last week, another piece broke off, making it difficult for him to talk. The remaining sharp edge bothered his tongue and the inside of his cheek. So yesterday I tracked down a dentist who was taking new patients (ended up being an out-of-insurance-plan doctor as we only have three on our list right now, one of whom does only braces, the second of whom is not taking new patients, and the…
Updated The White Winds in the wee hours of the morning this morning. I now have ideas on where and how to go on with it. Same for Overtures. However, there’s only a week left to get my Valentine’s challenge fic done. So that’s my next task. It’s going to be a Kyrano fic, and I have a title. Now to write it. The kids have a four day weekend, the Hubby has a two day weekend (MLK holiday). Basketball starts…
I just got my order from FABGearUSA! The 40th anniversary Thunderbirds soundtrack, and a set of 8 movie pencils. I’ve sharpened the pink one (man, that eraser is day-glo pink!) and put it in my pencil cup! Guess what I’ll be listening to on the way to pick up the kiddies? No ABBA for us this afternoon. Overtures 15 is almost ready… I’m not sure where to break the introduction of Lou to Penelope, but Lou is feeling rather…
