catching up

(written 12/21/05, 9am) My insanely wonderful husband did a load of laundry last night while I was taking a bath, so that I’d have some shirts to wear. I came downstairs this morning, having fallen into bed immediately after my bath, and got very confused because I couldn’t figure out when he could’ve possibly done laundry without waking me up when he came in and out of the CRRRRREEEEEEEAAAAAAK!ing door. After a few moments, though, I remembered about the bath. :) Anyway, isn’t he wonderful? *beam* Best husband ever. So…

(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.

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. The wishes can be anything at all, from simple and fandom-related (“I’d love a Snape/Hermione icon that’s just for me”) to medium (“I wish for _____ on DVD”) to really big (“All I want for Christmas is a new car/computer/house/TV.”) The important thing is, make sure these wishes are things you really, truly want. – If you wish for real life things (not…

drawing near

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…
