I did a whole lot of nothing today. Well... let me rephrase that: I did a whole lot of nothing outside of my house today. In fact, I barely got dressed. However, I finished up my epic retagging project over at Reading the Paranormal. It has made me hurt. Physically. My arm is aching from wrist to elbow. Now, it admittedly might have been me ( Read more... )

Do you guys remember all the times that I got it in my head that I needed a project and then proceeded to choose the most INANE things to project on? Yeah. Me, too. Oh, the hijinks that ensued that time I decided that I was going to listen to every song on my iPod at least one time within a calendar year. And, of course, being that I can't just ( Read more... )

I've missed a lot of blogging days this month. I find that amusing because I used to be super gung-ho about blogging every single day. Like, WOE! if I missed a day or something. While I admittedly blog more for myself (because I have a terrible memory and need all the help remembering the little things that happen that I can get), it seems that ( Read more... )

As is my tradition on New Year's Eve, I watched a few movies. Hailey and I started off the evening with Resident Evil: Afterlife which was pretty much just like I remembered it from the theater except without the 3D. The opening scene in the rain in Tokyo is still gorgeous. The fight scenes are fun and brutal. There wasn't enough one on one ( Read more... )

Cole has a book report due on Friday and there's no way he's going to be able to get the book he's doing it on read between now and then. Part of this is my fault because I talked him into the book and I think it's a little more than his poor brain can handle. The book? The Drawing of the Three by Stephen King ( Read more... )

I had a remarkably unremarkable day. Sort of. The fam went over to my grandma's house for a big dinner, which was cool and everything. Good food and lots of it. My mom springs it on me on the way there that she wants to take a family picture for her Christmas cards today. Umm, what? Could you have warned me ahead of time so I could brush my ( Read more... )

Okay, guys. I did it. I printed out my unedited manuscript for a read-through/first-pass edit. This is just to catch all the glaring errors, whether they're grammatical, plot or whatever. I'll be taking notes while I'm reading to patch up any major plot holes and to smooth out whatever rough edges I run across ( Read more... )

My beast of a child had a virtual ton of homework tonight. He's normally very good about getting everything done and tonight was no exception really. Except. Except that he had so much that his normal homework schedule (homework, break for Halo, homework, break for Halo, later, rinse, repeat) wasn't quite working. He had to do more of the ( Read more... )

Yo! Tomorrow, Hailey has a soccer game at 10 AM. That means that I'll start tweeting around 9:30 or 9:45. That's right, guys, I'll be checking for the shambling Zombie horde and fending off signs of the apocalypse as I duck and cover while those around me scream "ATTACK!" Don't worry, I've managed to evade the Zombies thus far, I'm sure I'll ( Read more... )

Cole stayed home sick from school on Monday and Tuesday and I woke up this morning and could barely drag myself out of bed. It was not fun. I managed to get the kiddos off to school and then I came home and went back to sleep. I think I slept from 9-1. Whoa. Nice sleeping, Kel ( Read more... )
