The multi-quote button is awesome! Wouldn't know what to do without it :D

I don't think I popped on earlier after I got a haircut. And by far this is my FAVE haircut in my entire life! I wanted to keep my CMRH book cover (It's the fave mockup book cover I've ever made lol), but I think I may just have to put a new picture of me and my new do. What wonders that does to your self-esteem - knowing you have rocking hair lol. (Or at least *I* think I have rocking hair right now LOL)

How is it that I seem to be the only person to have lowly writer troubles whenever it is I'm down? Or at least, it feels that way lol. Maybe I'm too selfish in MY OWN problems.

Ack. Rambling.

Done lol.

Especially since I have 1 hour to do my hw assignment due tonight! MEEP!

Cya when I finish it! :D

you inspire me.

Also, when I read "what I'm looking for" lists on agent blogs and think...my WIP! Its what you need!!

Off to make some dinner :D

Oooh yeah I daydreamt when looking at those lists too. Strangely enough, usually the agents who I thought were definitely going to request never did, and the ones that I thought I was taking a shot in the dark with always sounded super thrilled about my MS and requested lots of pages.

Weird how that works...

Srsly, I had been here over a year before I found the multiquote button! LOL

So, I've had the WORST day....if you're on twitter, I''ve whined there, but I'll share the love here too! :tongue

Horrible headache, two disrespectful kids today, worrying about fiances but realizing I can't take the afterschool teaching job I've been offered bc the hours won't mesh bc I'm too far away from home...so its like the teaching job is double kicking my ass

THEN....on my way home, we get pulled over and I get a speeding ticket...my carpooler got pulled over last week and he got a warning....I get a ticket. I went like 10yrs without getting a ticket and now 2 in 6 months...

FInally get home(after blowing my weight watchers points on chocolate) and try to clean up and the vacuum cleaner starts smoking....

:cry:

I'm here guys. I've been checking in all day, but I have a friend and her 1 year over and things have been a little nuts around here to say the least. I had to take my friend to the doctor and I had to sit with 2 toddlers in my van for 2 hours! They did very well considering. It didn't hurt that I had the dvd player though. That helped. I remembered to bring my netbook and I got 3K written during that time :D Not too shabby. I haven't written that much in a long time.

I am wanting to get another 3K written today but IDK if that will happen. It all depends on when they finally get picked up and the baby goes to bed.

Sorry to all the people having downer days. I've had them a ton lately. And happy birthday penguin.

I totally love this board because we are always here for each other whether its a cheering day or a cheering up day. *huge hugs to everyone* I'd have went nuts a long time ago if it wasn't for you guys.

Oh June, I'm SO sorry. I HATE days like those. I also hate finances and diets...and floors that need vacuuming...

Really.

((hugs))

Wow, good job YOU! I've been doing more babysitting lately than I care to, and I'll say...it takes an amazing person to be happy after a long day with other people's kids (some days it takes an amazing person to be happy with their own kids ;)).

Thanks so much for all your warm wishes! :Hug2:. Krista, thanks for the pictures, they're really cute :D

Sorry you guys are having a sucky day :(. I hope it's not because of me. I do tend to be the bearer of doom...lol. Hope things get better soon.

My first year anniversary with AW is in two days, so this week is really special :D.

Isn't it funny when you have the same b-day as a celebrity? Today's Ellen Degeneres's (sp?) b-day, too, and one of the actors from Eclipse (the guy who plays Alec--don't ask how I know that!).

Anyway, thanks again and hope things look up, Krista and Sarah and Melly, and did I forget someone? :)

UGH JUNE! It seems like it's a crappy week for everyone. *builds a barrier around tonight's workshop so the doom doesn't come tonight and pound my story into the ground*

I have a question for Hayley (or anyone else who likes/knows about the Atlanta Braves). It used to be that girls were crazy over Chipper Jones, but he's getting up there, so what Braves player would high school girls crush on today? I don't follow baseball enough to know who The New Hotness is.
