happy day off
Let's see...solo went okay, a bit breathy on the high notes, but I didn't crack and managed to come in at the right time each verse which had been an issue. Also, held the mike which I'm getting more comfortable doing.
Mom and dad skipped out after my solo. *snort* The service was okay, on differing/shifting perspectives/perceptions of people.
They put new gravel in the parking lot and I wore high heels--nearly broke my ankles a couple times. *sigh*
Then I went to the grocery and spent way too much time futilely trying to find bottled ginger or even ginger root which made my feet hurt.
I recorded the Chiefs so got that going and it was not pretty. A lot of three and outs; we couldn't do anything offensively as they were shutting down our receivers. Oakland scored pretty quickly but then our defense also kicked in. Lots of long punts on both sides. We managed to tie it before the half.
And then stomped all over them. Made some adjustments at the half so our quarterback could actually hit some receivers and the crowd noise forced them to make several false starts and throw a couple interceptions. We've long been known for our noise but we officially set a World Record for outdoor stadium noise level! Sometimes they couldn't even hear the whistle to stop play after false starting!
Also, at one point, we forced a third and 48. Who does that???? lolol Just majorly flustered their young QB. And we won 24-7, most of our scores coming in the fourth quarter which the Chiefs just rule. So far have not needed my "chiefs suck" tag which I've used so much the last couple years! And New Orleans lost so it's just us and Denver unbeaten!
Then I napped, followed by watching a lot of tv. I wrote nothing. *sigh* I did watch OUAT in Wonderland which was okay. I suppose I'll give it a go if I remember to watch it at abc.com Sad turn around on TAR, but nice to see the Baseball Wives doing better. Caught up on everything but Vampire Diaries and Walking Dead.
Also watched that Hansel and Gretal Witch Hunters movie that was...um pretty bad. Why did they have modern speech and the villagers didn't? Weird. Clint was adorable, though. Yeah, he'll always be Clint to me. *snort*
It's supposed to rain today and has gotten overcast. I was laying on the couch reading about a half hour ago and there was this loud thump and then weird cat noises and then another thump. I thought one of them was having a fit, so I sat up.
There was a black cat pressed against the French door with Elektra throwing herself against the other side, making these weird ass panting noises. lol I got up and went to the door and the cat backed off and Elektra did her run around the interior of the house, come back to the door, pant, again and again until the cat finally disappeared. Raine ignored the whole thing from her ottoman.
So, that got me up and over to my writing spot.
Parents ordered my tv so I'll go to Best Buy next week to look for stands. It'll take ten days to get here and they're having it delivered to their house so it doesn't sit on my porch all day and get stolen.
Yuletide sign ups end sometime today. This year I went through the request/offer list and offered some fandoms that needed them--ones I can write in, but not my traditional ones in all cases. I know the bucket lists can throw this off--there may be offers no one knows about since those don't show up--but while some people are squawking about the mods asking people to consider doing this, I had no problem with it. I still offered a couple that no one has requested yet, but whatevs. I'm convinced there are some people who just like to bitch. This is a massive challenge and very complicated to match up with so many fandoms available. Kudos to the mods for making it work at all.
I'm not going to sign up for the candy exchange this year since I really shouldn't eat it (though I did get some sugar free last year). I may or may not sign up for the book exchange since I never did get my book. This year is a new coffee/tea/drink exchange which I may do.
Well, need to start the IWRY fic or not going to get it done, or at least not the one I want to write. Found the ficlet I was looking for--it's actually up on my website, duh, but not at the series on AO3. I need to do some editing to it because it doesn't quite fit with the earlier fics (earlier in the timeline) and why Buffy stopped trying to get home.
So...writing now...
