Why do I have a sudden love of boys in space??
have to say though... 3 Musketeers in space is just what I needed to be doing today :P God... I totally need to make myself a J2/Wincesty BOYS IN SPACE icon!! :P
In other news...
My Dad is awesome. He was only here from Thursday-Sunday night and even though three of us got sick while he was here (food poisoning oh how I hate thee) I still feel so much lighter for it.
And yes... he did make my shitty christmas all better. He got me 2 pairs of jeans from my favorite store, two shirts that I adore, a black tank top (and the one I wear all the time is just about dead... I was just thinking how much I wished someone had bought me one for xmas) a black sweater and white/gray poncho, plus one of those hundred dollar visa gift cards so I can afford to take my laptop in and get it fixed. My dad rocks!!! Not only that but he took the kids to Chuck E Cheese twice while he was here and to the Aquarium of the Pacific. Bought us food the whole time he was here, Starbucks every morning (plus donuts! YUM!) and listened to me talk about my kids and school. Plus he bought my daughter American Girl stuff for her growing collection along with a trampoline for my son (that will fit just perfectly in the corner in his room :P). The kids had a great time. And my hubby told me last night that when he sort of peeked in to say goodbye on his way to work one morning that my Dad was coaxing my son into talking by using our tactics... he couldn't remember if it was him saying "Use your words," or something similar, but it was definitely one of our techniques to get him to talk. My Dad is the one that has had the hardest time accepting my son's Autism. Not that he hasn't done whatever we asked him in support of it, but I don't think he really understands it at all, and certainly not the financial posittion we've put ourselves in to make sure I could be home to support him through his therapy. So yeah... it was an awesome visit, even being sick, for all those reasons.
Signed up for the
spn_j2_bigbang today and I'm excited. It's one of the challenges that is on my list of things OK to do this year :P I don't know what I'll write yet but I'm tempted to pull out Violently and finish it for the big bang. It will take some of the pressure of since it's already started, but also will let me finish up a project that I decided to finish this year. Either that or I might dust off an old J2 idea. Not sure yet, though Violently is definitely ahead at the moment. If you're interested in a snippet I wrote a timestamp (pathetic! I can't finish the story but I made a timestamp aleady! Tee hee hee)
The End . It was for a challenge and the prompt just called for the Violently storyline, though a warning because it's Sam/Dean dub-con at best.
Anyway... being sick totally threw a loop in my writing plans, but I'm gonna finish my roughs for
j2_everafter today and submit. I feel really excited about it.
And... I made plans to go see my best friend on Wed. I haven't seen her since I moved. I've barely talked to her and it's because I put a lot of distance between us. I'm still trying to wrap my head around why, but I know it's time to stop this. I've put myself into a corner and part of me thinks that's why I did it... things we're getting bad against with the hubby and I wanted to back myself into a corner where I couldn't ask for help. totally stupid but I'm beginning to see things a little different right now. Guess time will tell me if i'm right or not. And if I'm right to put a stop to my personal sabotage. anyway... planning some good things for myself once school starts... like I think my school has a weight loss program and trying to get into it and seeing what happens. Good stuff... and for the right reasons so that makes me happy.
Anyway.. back to the writing. :P *hugs*
