EEEK, HAPPY BIRTHDAY CHOCO!!!!!! :D :D :D

I totally need to get to your blog more often, by the way. Every time I do, I'm just amazed at how thoughtful and awesome your posts are.

ETA: Neen, I just wrote a blog post that I think it super lame, too. We can be lame blogging twins today. (gee, that sounds like fun, huh? Never mind).

:D

Cheering you all on!
The multi-quote button isn't that old. Maybe a couple years? It came after a big upgrade. It is a wonderful thing.

I totally understand about the betas. Even though you want good, thorough feedback, you secretly hope the betas come back and say, "OMG, it's so wonderful. It'll be as big as Harry Potter. I can't wait to see it on the shelf." (Usually I get one or two of those and mixed reviews from the rest) And depending on how big the suggestions (especially if they agree), it can be overwhelming when you get that thorough feedback, even when you want and need it.

Thank you for the birthday wishes and kind words hound! :D I'm glad you like theee posts, haha. And I'm sure the post you just wrote is not lame :)

haha, epiphany, I keep wanting to yawn when I see YAWN as well. I guess even written yawns are contagious?

Well, I guess we're technically birthday triplets, since it's my sister's birthday too (twin, duh :)). And yes on the cake!

Sarah, good luck!! :)

Thanks, Sage, and good luck with your queries *fingers crossed* :)

Thanks PEEPS!! I huggles you mucho!! Thanks for letting a gal have some cheese with her whine...LAME! LOL



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.


I haven't watche the Braves in FOREVER! My cuz used to have the hots for Javy Lopez, who was a cutey pie!!


Jeff Francouer maybe(sp)

Funny story about Chipper JOnes....the orthodonist my cuz works for used to live across the street from him in Alpharetta...well Kim would house and babysit for him. She and her daughter and all the kids one night had their faces plastered to the windows staring across the street at him bc he had blinds open and stuff.

The next thing they know he's in front of of one of the windows, lol. He waves and then proceeds to close all the blinds.

SNORT....

Woot!!!! 50k FINALLY!

My MC is about to kick some serious ass in this chapter. Only 20kish more to go!

Congrats Sarah! Only 20k to go? no problem ;)

Ugh, Cannot. Focus. At. All. I have like a million things I should be doing and I've accomplished none of them. Grrrrr.....

I hear ya there. I've done just about everything today and have little to show for it. I did find some new networking/backlinking tools which is nice.

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)

Yay for new haircuts! I need one badly, but not in this weather!

I just started working night shifts at the day job (bartending :<), and it's freakin' wrecking HAVOC with my system.

I don't think I could ever do nightshift. I had a job in junior high catering for my friend's dad (for weddings). We would start early Saturday morning and go home around 3 am Sunday morning. Was awesome though. Best paying job I've ever had (under the table).

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:

So sorry to hear about the crappy day. Have a good cry, we all have days like that sometimes. Hoping tomorrow's better.

HOUND! *glomp*

And WHY HALLO BIRTHDAY TWIN PENGUIN! :partyguy: hope you're eating lots of yummy cake :)

Happy b-day Choco!

Whew, I think I'm caught up now. And look, I'm no longer a multi-quote virgin! *whispers* It was my first time.

Kate - NOOOOO! No, your crits, and Alina's crits, are both awesomely helpful and positive and NEEDED. There are just those moments when I feel like the clock is ticking down and I am so overwhelmed in my personal non-writing life that the time to actually revise feels impossible. I heart my betas bigtime!!!!!!!
Oh, *heart attack*. If I EVER make you feel like less than the fantabulistic writer I think you are then you will let me know, right? So I can gush and glop all over you? Deal?

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...

:cry:

I have NEVER gotten a warning--always a ticket. Except the time I got pulled over by a dog-catcher. He gave me a warning. I swear I'm only as bad a driver as everyone else! :p




Lol everyone keeps talking about YAWNing and I'm like WTF IS THAT!?!? STOP MAKING ME YAWN YOU SLEEPYHEADS!

Um...I don't. Splain?

I got my final R on requested material today. :D So I can officially trunk UtS! :D :D

NOOOOOOOOOO! That's not the way it's supposed to go. :(

Happy birthday to the birthday celebrators! :D

Haha. That's awesome. And thanks for the help. I just looked up Jeff Francouer, and now I have to post a pic because SWOON. He is hot. Especially in this picture. I don't know what it is about hot guys holding dogs that does it for me.
*is weird*

ETA: Picture Fail. Can you only post from a url and not an attachment? Grr. Wanted to share the hotness.

Jeff Franceour is no longer on the Braves :( ....but he was definitely the hotness when he was on the team.

Don't know who's really the crush these days. Maybe Jason Heyward? And Brandon Hicks didn't really get a lot of playtime last year, but I think he's pretty cute. We don't really have any stand-out hotness, though.
