Haven't posted in weeks - just have had no real desire to. I've been floating along how I usually do: not overly depressed, but not overly happy either, and no real variation in that routine. I know things could be a lot worse and am trying to take assurance from that. Hopefully this coming year I'll finally get that fire lit under my butt to ( Read more... )

Was at work a grand total of thirteen minutes before word came across that non-essential state personnel were to go home! I needn't even have gotten out of bed! Well, I did need to get cat food, but I didn't need to drive across town for that. :P It's freezing rain and sleet right now, which a whole crapton of snow coming in a few hours ( Read more... )

Little sister has come down with a stomach bug. :-/ I'm guzzling down some grapefruit juice and vitamin tablets just in case; I do not want to spend Christmas repeating a certain part of my trip to Florida last year. :P I really hope she gets better in time to go see Grandpa on Friday ( Read more... )

Merry Christmas/Christmas Eve! :D

Still working on the next batch of gifts. I'm almost done with a couple of the drabbles (the problem with my drabbles is that they always want to become short stories), and a couple of the graphics. If I have time to get online this evening they'll probably be up sometime then, barring my untimely demise. Which ( Read more... )

Well, what a shock, I'm behind, as usual. I'm probably not going to have them all done by Christmas (and it's likely that even if I post them now many of you won't see them after the holiday anyway), but whatever the case may be, here's the first set I've completed, all graphics. rabidfangurl, ginnyrules2, and arbor_vitae, come on down!

I'm trying to focus on that now, instead of that most of this holiday will likely be anything but relaxing. With the exception of tomorrow, I'm probably going to be moving nonstop all weekend. Sunday I may be going to Mom's to do Christmas prep, then Christmas Eve day I'm spending with Dad, then Christmas day is with Mom, then Wednesday I'm going ( Read more... )

Merry Christmas! :DAll in all, not too bad overall, except for still having to blow my nose every five minutes. Nice haul, largely various kinds of clothes and bath sets, but the big surprise was from my sister - a Darth Tater/Spudtrooper gift set! :D Apparently she and her boyfriend went all over the city to find it, and managed to snag the ( Read more... )

...since I'm totally deadlocked on making any headway in those holiday drabbles I promised some of you. You'd think, with H/Hr being something like my #2 or #3 favorite pairing ever, I'd not be stumped on them, but go figure ( Read more... )

Christmas card shopping gets harder every year. Yes, I know part of it this year was waiting until December 23. :P ( Read more... )

smilie117, got your card - it's so pretty! :) Thanks.

Also, I'm still taking requests on my earlier gift post, so if you've got one, lay it on me. :)

My Potter watch arrived last night! It's so very pretty, and not just because of the subject matter. ;) And it's pretty without being overly girly or overly childish... aside from the fact that it's a ( Read more... )
