Almost a month with no updates is horrible stuff. I know. But, on the plus side, I've been writing, and I've been busy at work, and I've been doing things for Portrait. So, it's not like I disappear off the face of the earth every time I disappear from livejournal, right?
Anyway... speaking of work. We had our big holiday dinner last weekend. They ( Read more... )

Actually, I don't hate closing. I just hate getting home so late. Because then, I always have to cook if I want dinner. After nine at night. Ugh.
Here's the thing. If I get home before my mom and her boyfriend, I make dinner, and I make dinner that everyone can eat, and I make enough for everyone, plus leftovers. When they get home before me, my mom ( Read more... )

I don't really have anything interesting to report. But, I thought since I was on livejournal, attempting to catch up on my friends page, I'd write a quick note to anyone out there reading my ramblings.
I haven't really been doing anything exciting, just working, reading, watching some television. I've discovered (again) how much I love a good crime ( Read more... )

The good is always supposed to somehow balance out the bad in life, right? I feel like this week is the opposite.

Good: Scheduled for an additional 9 hours this week.

Bad: Mom's car died.

Good: Mom got her new (used) car she had been waiting on fairly quickly.

Bad: Still no internet at home.
Good: The cashier gave me a free drink at Panera this ( Read more... )

Just an FYI, for those of you out there wondering if I disappeared...
About a month ago, our desktop computer and our internet hook up were struck by lightning, so I haven't been getting on line as often. My laptop still likes to overheat if I use it for more than an hour at a time. I've purchased a new desktop, but we still haven't had the chance ( Read more... )

Oh, another Friday, another five random bits. I kind of like updating this way. I get to write about multiple topics, and I don't have to write as often. Ha!

1:

So, Nickelodeon ordered an iCarly and Victorious (hence the title) spin off about Sam and Cat. Um, am I the only one ridiculously excited about this? So many adults seem so cynical about it ( Read more... )

It's been exactly two weeks since my last entry, how about that? I thought, since it's Friday, a Five part update was in order.

One.
I made lemon flavored cupcakes this morning (from a mix, so it's kind of cheating) to take into work tomorrow. I work later today, but it's a short shift, and it's closing, so I thought it would be better to take them ( Read more... )

I have about fifteen minutes before I have to leave this place and actually go into work, so let's see if I can do a quick as lightning Friday Five. Haven't done one in a while.

One.

I had planned on participating in a writing challenge in a Victorious community, and still have not had time to sit down and write my story. 10 minute spurts are not ( Read more... )

Writing prompt: write a letter to the 10-year-old child you had been.

( I don't even know where to start )

I'm trying out some new writing prompts, and today's is Electricity is a recent discovery. Think of 12 things to do when there's no power.
Seems kind of like a boring topic, but maybe they get more fun as they go? I am an expert at not have electricity. I've lived without electricity for over a week at a time during hurricane season. (Not that I'm ( Read more... )
