Christmas was lovely! I got a set of water colors and a couple of pads and an easel and some pastels and I'm really excited to figure out how to use everything! Also, my sister announced that she's having a baby! Mom has already called him/her Blueberry because she's about the size of one, but because of my sister's previous miscarriage, she's tentative about telling the rest of the family.
So the reason I haven't written anything new fic-wise in awhile is I've been going through some emotional stuff lately, but I think the worst of the storm has passed, mostly due to Earl. It's kind of amazing what dogs can do for your mentality. I mean, I love Spooky and he's an awesome cat, but Spooky doesn't need me the way Earl does. And it's just nice to have someone curled up at my feet every night and it's great to belong to someone and to be responsible for someone else and have a reason to be out of bed at a god-awful hour.
I never understood the appeal of coffee in the morning until I began getting up for Earl at 7 and in that spirit, I bought a Keurig machine with my Christmas money. I had a cup of chammomille tea to christen it and now I have a cup of breakfast blend ready to go in the K Keurig for the morning.
Next on my list of things to buy is a keyboard. I need a light-weight portable one that I can carry around and take with me to gigs and stuff. I am also trying to get a local writer's group off the ground. I really, really need a job but since there aren't many available...I'm trying to focus on the things I CAN do, and at least starting a writer's group would look good on a resume.
