Whaaaaaaa???? I need details!

Oh, and congrats!

Okay, now details.

Yes, yes: details! And congratulations!

*Passes chocolate cookies around* They are vegan--rice flour, flax "eggs," and other non-allergic stuff. Speaking of which, they may also be lunch.

M, if I had to pick a favorite color, I’d go with blue, too...though there are just too many great colors to choose from, so I don’t have a true favorite. Except for maybe teal. Hmmm....I am quite fond of red, however. And black is... yeah, you know what? All of them are my fave.

Make those cookies sugar free (but still yummy), and you may be the first person ever to make a cookie I can eat.

I'm sure you remember me talking about traveling and going to the hockey games with a friend. Well, we decided to take it a step further. He should be rewarded with sainthood for wanting to date me.

Congrats, V! And I don't believe for one second that he needs a reward for wanting to date you. YOU are the reward. If he's been hanging around with you for a while, he clearly knows what you are like - and he wants more. :D This is an awesome thing.

:hi: To everyone else. (Lil, I'd call that blue 'royal blue', and I like it!)

Time for more writing for me. I'm just tipping over the halfway mark with my sisyfus story. Got 7 days to finish it. (2 days will be taken up with other stuff - one good, one not so good)

Aaah!! That’s awesome!

I know that’s not true—he’s lucky to have you—but I’ve felt the same way myself many times.

Jay, I think Royal Blue is a bit lighter. I think. I dunno, it’s time to change my shoes anyway.

That’s really awesome V! Sounds like you are HIS perfect catch.

7 days? Stories are due Feb 28?

Yay for the good and I hope for the best for the not so good? :Hug2:

Hey, guys. I've been helping kids with homework but wanted to stop in and say hi.

I made good progress on my writing today. So many plot bunnies going at it, babies springing up all over the place. Gonna need some bunny birth control here if I plan to keep this thing a short story and not a full novel.

Everyone okay tonight?

Yeah, I am aiming to have the first draft done by the end of the month. That gives me a whole month (minus a few days for icky stuff) to get the revisions done so it's a respectable story by the due date. :)


Commiserations on the tax stuff, Sara.

Just finished up in #2's room. Cleared a LOT of crap out... mostly stuff I was keeping for insane reasons. *g*

Now I'm going to have a cold drink and see if I can get some more writing done.

Good morning, reppers!

I'm going to see The Greatest Showman this morning. My mom really wants to see it, so I offered to tag along.

I haven’t seen it but it looks interesting to me.

I’m anxiously awaiting Black Panther. Im struggling to contain my excitement. I hope it doesn’t disappoint.

Good morning everyone!

Well, Jackson has done it again. First, a couple of days ago he figured out how to open a metal wall panel that provides access to a water shut off valve. Since I found the panel open again this morning, I figured it was time to block it. So I piled up some boxes to prevent access to the access panel. Within an hour Jackson learned that he could climb up on the boxes and reach the light switches. I am now sitting in the dark.

The weather here is miserable. The temperature dropped just enough overnight to coat everything with ice, and it has come up just enough that it is raining while the ice remains on the ground. I may finally have managed to convey to Abbie that she should not pull on her leash. Let's just say that terror has its uses.

LadyV, congratulations again.

Bryan, how is your mother doing?

And now back to work.

Hope everyone has productive, healthy, and enjoyable days.

Congrats, JG. That’s great!

Sorry about the weather, M. And the troublesome cat.

I should be writing but instead I’m doing stupid adulting stuff I’d prefer to avoid. Why does real life have to interfered with my plans to be artistic?

Home from the movie. It was really good. Very entertaining. I also enjoyed the music.

Oh, cool. I’ll have to go see it. I’ve been hesitant because I didn’t know anyone who’d seen it and didn’t want to waste the money.
