Monday was Employee Appreciation Day at work. They fed us which is always nice. When I first started working at Walmart they fed us on such a day too. At first it was nice even if it did all come from the store deli area - a taco bar, fried chicken with all the trimmings, etc. Then it became either Walmart brand frozen pizzas or those thin little ( Read more... )

I am really fighting the urge to just go to bed. It's only 1:30 in the afternoon here but I did not get enough sleep last night. It's not that I couldn't get to sleep but that I stubbornly stayed awake a lot longer than I should have ( Read more... )

It's always gratifying to get the odd 'kudo' notification from AO3. It's usually for Gravity, sometimes for my 'Connections' stories (both Fast & Furious) but sometimes it's for one of my two J2 fic, occasionally for my Black Hawk Down fic, and once in a blue moon for my Wanted fic (a fandom based on a short lived TV show of less than a season that ( Read more... )

Back to work tonight. I managed to keep my sleep schedule better on these days off, but then it was grey and coldish so there was no temptation to stay up during the day and lounge in the sun. I went to bed shortly after 6 this morning and had planned on reading for an hour or so and then getting up around 4 but I think I fell asleep almost right ( Read more... )

Although I guess it's actually Monday morning already. I'm going to try and stay up another 4.5 hours. We'll see if I make it.

Last night dine asked me to name my favorite fic. I told her there was no way I could narrow it down to one because it would change depending on what fandom I was most immersed in at the time. As a compromise I said I'd ( Read more... )

Actually, being unable (for the most part) to sleep in anymore is both a blessing and a curse. Since I've been getting up before 5:30 in the mornings for so long, it's difficult for me to sleep in. That doesn't mean I hop right out of bed on the weekends, but it does mean that sleeping past 7-7:30 in the morning is pretty much a thing of the past, ( Read more... )

I baked my ham and made my colcannon and I can go into a food coma now. Back around Easter I was looking for an alternative to the basic pineapple and brown sugar topping for my ham and did a little online research. Brown sugar and spicy brown mustard sounded good...and it is! This is the best one yet. Just the right combination of each and not so ( Read more... )

Yup, I'm alive. I've been around, reading other people's posts and commenting occasionally. I had a nice Skype chat with

It's really frustrating when you're trying to get into an Supernatural story that sounds like it could be pretty interesting but your mind keeps getting derailed because Sam is packing a 'jumper' and throwing trash in a 'bin' and Dean has a 'sexty-seven' Chevy Impala that's 'blearing' music. Sad to say that those weren't the only things my mind ( Read more... )

The only other fandoms that I've been involved in more than peripherally before Supernatural were The Fast & The Furious and Black Hawk Down ( Read more... )
