Ted and I went out to dinner at Simon & Seafort’s last night, in part because it was Dine for America day and they were giving 100% of proceeds to Katrina relief, and in part for celebratory stuff, which I’ll talk about later. What I will not talk about is what my diet has been like for the last week, and the consequent reading on the scale. :P I’m supposed to get to go clothes shopping with my PFD, but I’m not buying anything until the scale reads a definitive…

eaaaarly
It is not yet 7:30am, and I have gotten nearly 1100 words written. The only bad thing about this is the getting up at 5:30 part. :) 1800 words yesterday; not quite as many as I wanted, but not bad. I did break the 20K mark on this book, which is sassisfying. Expect to hit 100 pages today. I have reached a part of the story where Jo sits down at her computer to research something, so I get to sit down at my computer to research it, too. :)…
things
I have plenty of things to talk about, but I can’t think of any of them right now. :) We garage saled all weekend.

first lines meme
Meme picked up from and : Post the first few sentences of various things I intend to finish someday. Ok. At least, I’ll post what I’ve got on this computer, anyway. :) THE SEVEN AND THE NINE: Air bubbled and burst with such force that drops of water, cold enough to burn, splashed onto the Inquisitor’s hand. MANIFEST DESTINY: Revon glanced at the sky through a tall window, lead supporting panes of hand-shaped glass. FOOL’S GOLD: Everybody’s saying how normal I am. THE QUEEN’S BASTARD: “It cannot be found out.”…
daily grind
Dinner: *stunningly* good. Ted made halibut with a feta-spinach stuffing and a lemon … white sauce (there’s a fancy word for it, but I can’t spell it), over a mushroom risotto, and green beans. It was incredibly good. I made a turtle cheesecake. It was also very good, and now I know there’s a such thing as soy cream cheese & sour cream, so next time I will be able to make a cheesecake that’s ok for our very lactose-intolerant friend who came to dinner. Serenity: AUGH. I really liked…
