today's five and a quick update

[roninangel]

1. got to the next level of reputation in warcraft (i'm a nerd, and i want the awesome mount =P)
2. slept soundly for hours next to mike
3. mike told me that bailey's getting better (this is a big milestone)
4. i noticed today that i'm listening to music the way i used to when i was writing more (with an ear for how the lyrics tell a story)
5. i have a fridge with nearly three full 24-packs of Dr Pepper in it =D (call it cheating, but this is an accomplishment)

i have a FULL weekend ahead of me - my friend is back stateside from afghanistan, and of course this means a welcome home bash - and mike's mom's b-day is this weekend too - and i want to take my son to the park this weekend while the weather's beautiful - so we'll see how this works out

i feel pretty blocked these days with my two major writing projects - i need to take a day for each story and just fully immerse myself in each one

also i am about to start work on a double wedding ring quilt for mike and i to use together (since we're blanket hogs) - if anyone has any helpful hints, i'd appreciate them

and if anyone knows anything about troubleshooting a computer microphone, i could use your help (it can pick up my voice and play it directly thru the speakers, but anytime i try to actually RECORD anything, the only thing that gets picked up is the sound of me blowing on the mic - i have checked every volume slider i can find and nothing is muted)

i feel so spread thin creatively - i wish i could just focus this - but there's just so much that i want to DO - and i'm pretty tired today - i need to get to bed - got work early early in the morning
