Old People Writing for Teens, IV

Um I took my stupid pills tonight, bc I refreshed about a billion times while saying, "Hmmm, I wonder what this part 4 link is???" D'oh.

Also, you can all be the comma queens if you like and I will just be the queen. Now, come rub my feet and bring me yummies.

MIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIICE.

I have an irrational fear of mice. Didn't realize it until one ran under my bed when I was up with then 3-month-old babygirl. Hubs took some drywall out of our laundry room the other day, and found like SEVEN (very old) dead mice between the walls. Yeah. I love living in an older home.

But in your CAR??? That is horrifying.

Piano and singing will come back. You'll be fine

Is anyone fnwing or did I miss it? Also, Look! Shiny new thread

It must be the full moon...made the connection between my brain and mouth disconnect.

I'm wondering if the mice froze to death and how many more may be in my freakin car.

I may FNW.

Ew, ew, EW. Do you have mice in the garage a lot? Was your car in the garage? Outside I guess, if the mice froze. Maybe you're lucky, and there are only two. I say, take the car somewhere to get it detailed. Offer them a big tip and tell them to wear gloves.

(In car salesman voice) What would it take to push that "may" to a "will"?

Ack! Lame! Me! I'm having one of those evenings. It was the Costco trip. Yes, brain+mouth disconnect--I've been there. And I am DREADING tomorrow--babysitting again. Just not good at it. I like having my kids with my routine.

Hiya!!

I accepted someone's offer of providing the music for the wine and art festival at my Synagogue. I'm a freaking nut...I don't play piano anymore. And someone wants me to help them with their modern opera performance...I don't sing anymore. Then I found two dead mice in my car...one of which I reached under the seat and pulled out his wet body...can anyone top that? This day officially sucks but my inbox is down 75 e-mails and I have a shiny new folder for unfinished beta reads.

I think touching dead mice wins for possible worst thing that could happen.

No garage, it's just outside. At least they didn't smell. And yeah, gloves. Ewwww.

I think I'm scared of my car and I'm nauseated. Plus, I want a hot shower.

I just came in to find the parrot on the dining room table eating the bag of pecans. He knows he's not allowed where we eat. I think I may just need to go to bed and forget this day happened.

Okay, I've been randomly refreshing and opening new windows and getting nothing done. Going to write at least 600 more words (preferably 1000) and then go to bed. Husband is cranky. I wish the economy would rebound so it would be easier to change jobs! Ick. (but he's employed, so grateful for that).

I'm going to watch VM and then go to bed. Have a great night!

Good way to end a sucky day. I would also recommend a hot bath--will relax and help you feel CLEAN!!! Lol, but VM will be helpful too.

WHOA. We're anti-commute around here (we don't have any family around, so it was really important to me he be close. In case. When the boys were little, it was REALLY important ). Heber??? Yikes.

I've heard Heber's a nice place to live . Just kidding, lol. Seriously, the economy needs to improve STAT. someone get on that. I'm just going to go...probably waste more time.

All of the above.

Morning all.

Think I may take a day off of freelance and edit more of my book. I'm itching to make some kind of headway, but of course, I cannot decide on what project to focus on.

Morning guys.

How is everyone?

Morning morning.

Rebecca - how you feeling
Kyva- Take a day off and enjoy.

Well today I took the baby to the sitter. I'm going to write! Debating on making a video about writing for my website. Doubt it will happen though because that would require makeup to be applied and today just doesn't seem like a makeup kind of day.

Morning Peeps!

Dang, I don't get on last night and KABAM, new thread.

Gah, I'm sooooo sleepy and tired! TMI, but womanly monthly issues srsly sucking the life out of me, lol. I don't think all the coffee in the world could help right now.

EW, that is awful!!! Yes, you win Worst Day award for yesterday, lol.

I'm sure you'll do fine playing and singing....I hear ya on never playing anymore...I think I've forgotten how, lol.

Morning!!

My husband's flight home from Kansas got cancelled yesterday. Hopefully he'll get out today and not get stuck in Chicago. Winter, I'm over it.

MICE in you car, Jen??? YIKES!!! That gets a prize!

New thread!! Yay!!

LOL Erica! I have those days sometimes, too. I'm doing well, I guess. I'm anxious to get the ultrasound finished up. :/

Krista, I feel you on being exhausted (though not for the same reasons). School's not at all what I thought it would be. SO much tougher.

Jamie, I'm over winter, too. :x

Sowee about school!! Maybe it'll get better. Yeah, it's the one reason why I'm not going back for a Specialist degree anytime soon. Sure, I'd make more, but the hassle is just not worth it at the moment..

School/Work is also painful this week b/c it's the end of the semester, well it should've been last week, and I'm running around, hunting down kids, begging for work so they'll pass. Yeah, so glad I care more than they do. Now I know why my buddy who had all Seniors last year was in a mood a lot of time, lol. This graduation pressure is too much!

I concur about being over winter. It's freakin' freezin' here today, especially in the higher altitudes.
