(written 12.18.05) Well, Breic’s birthday party went very well. :) I went out to Blackrock on Saturday morning to make a wemon cake, which was Breic’s request for his birthday cake, and he was sufficiently excited about the prospect that he didn’t want to go with his daddy to turn the movies back in or to play in the park. He just wanted to help Aunt Catie! We kind of compromised on him helping me make the frosting, and he went off with Gavin. He also went down for his…
a bit whirly-eyed
I’m somewhat less together with this posting than I’d like to be. That’s the disadvantage of no net; by the time I get to a computer I’m no longer sure what I wanted to say. I’ve been working on my ‘things that are different’ observations, but the only one that’s sticking with me now is that the not-as-sweet apple juice is vastly preferable, IMHO. I finished HoS yesterday, so took the rest of the day off and went for a walk with the boys. We got rained on, but not…

How it works: Step One Make a post (public, friendslocked, filtered…whatever you’re comfortable with) to your LJ. The post should contain your list of 10 holiday wishes.

I just thought, “God! I haven’t finished a book since July! What’ve I been DOING all this time?!” Then I remembered I’d been getting a house ready to sell and moving to the other side of the world. Oh yeah. Feel better now. :) (later) Ok, I can tell I’m almost done and have reached the point where I just want to *be* done, because I’m fiddling around with the very last chapter, which is not in need of fiddling anymore, and avoiding doing the work on the two preceding…
a busy day
Got through another several chapters on HoS. I have to do some fairly significant stuff in the antepenultimate and penultimate chapters, which I left largely untouched due to NOT CARING ANYMORE last time through, and I need to write two new scenes for around the 24th chapter. I’ll have to re-arrange chapter breaks after that, and make a couple of other small modifications to a few scenes much earlier in the book, and then by God I think I’ll be done. I’d better be, because I’m at the point of…
