A bit of this and that

[agt_spooky]

So. It's Friday. Should be a good day, right? It's payday, it's the start of the weekend. Good, right? Yeah, except if you're me and walked into a shitstorm at 6 am this morning with emails from after I'd already left last night. It's been five hours of complete crap with no end in sight. AND I have to go back to our old building for a meeting today which starts AFTER my normal quitting time. So lucky me, I have to work OT on top of everything. I've already got over 3 hours OT this week as it is. Well, I guess it means even more in my paycheck next week.

Ok, enough of that. Thought I'd take a break from all the crap and think about good things instead!

First up, I posted ST: Enterprise fic yesterday! Only one of you was able to guess which fandom it was going to be (congrats cadia58!). Yes, I'm still on my Scott Bakula kick. :-) Many, many thanks to all of you who read it and those who took a moment to leave me a comment. Meant the world to me, as this was a new endeavor for me and I'm thrilled a few of you enjoyed it. I have a feeling I've got another Archer/Tucker story or two in me. :-)

It just felt so good to WRITE something, you know? And as a wonderful by-product of that, while I still had the momentum, I started writing again on my next new ebook. That sucker has been sitting dormant for about a year and a half now. I got it about 75% finished and then ran out of gas for some reason. But this time I know I'm going to get it finished and published!

I signed up for my next glass blowing class, which will be February 9th. I got two of my good friends at work to sign up as well! I'm really looking forward to doing this with them. I know they're going to have a blast and want to go back again.

I leave for Florida two weeks from today! It's my best friend charityflint's 50th birthday and she wanted to spend it at Disney, so now there's a group of 8 of us going. I haven't been to Disney since I was 10 years old! Can't wait to get down there! And it will be great to leave the freezing cold of Chicago for a week for the sunshine of Florida. :-)

Last but not least, how about another daily dose of cute? Just got Mandy and Bean a new toy called the Turbo Track. It's one of those toys where the plastic ball is inside and they can't get it out. They love it! The best part is that it got them in close contact with each other and there was no hissing and growling on Mandy's part since she was more interested in playing with the toy. Here's hoping the more they play near each other the better they'll get along with each other.

Ok, gotta get back to the nonsense. Have a good weekend, everyone!

Hey sunshine, sorry to hear you're having a bad day. :/ At least there's extra money in it for you, right? ^__^ Try to hold to the bright side. Glad to hear you're taking another glass blowing class! Your work there has been really beautiful so far and I can't wait to see what you come up with next. The kitties are as cute as ever, of course. I'm super happy for your trip to Disney! That's going to be an nice break from things for you. Take a TON of photos!! Also, I heard that Disney after dark is a great place to grab HDR photos. The park staff will start herding people out about an hour and a half after the park closes so the time between when the park shuts down and when they shuffle everyone out is a great time to set up your tripod and snap some bracketed shots of the rides and awesome lighting. ^_^

Oh, and I can't wait to hear about your new book once it's all done! I'm sure it's going to be a hit!

Friday ended up lasting forever. My one hour meeting at the end of the day ended up going almost two. Grrr.... But I’ll be happy this Friday when I get my paycheck. :-)

I’ll be doing another glass heart in February. I’m taking this class over again because I wasn’t happy with the colors on my last one and it was also broken when I picked it up.

Bean is growing by leaps and bounds! Can’t believe how big she’s gotten in the 4 months we’ve had her. She’s going to be bigger than Mandy in another few months, I’m sure. Much to Mandy’s dismay!

Can’t wait for Disney next week! I’m definitely looking forward to the break. I don’t normally travel anywhere in the winter, so this will be nice. Thanks for the tip about Disney After Dark! Chris loves photography as much as me, so I’ll be sure to tell her and we’ll see if we can get some good shots.

I think you might actually remember me telling you about my ebook - about the two cops, one is seriously injured and is in a coma for 2 years then wakes up and doesn’t remember the last year of his life before the accident, forgetting that he’s in love with his partner, and much angst ensues. I wrote some more on it today!
