A Little Persuasion

The monthly Washington Romance Writers meeting is today. I’ve had it on my calendar and kept the forum digest in my Inbox so I don’t forget the wheres and whens — from 10:00 to 3pm today we will be discussing Jane Austen’s Persuasion. I assumed that in the five allotted hours we’d be watching a version of the film…

Ice, Ice, Baby

As you might have noticed, I’ve been MIA from Teh Intarwebs recently. Part of it is being caught up with work (I suddenly find myself awash in manuscripts to revise, and I am not unhappy about the prospect) and the Ice Capades weather of DC, resulting in The Fairy GodDaughters getting not only MLK Jr. Day off from school,…

Geek Joy

The Playstation Network has finally made Final Fantasy VII and IX available on Playstation Classics. I am in complete geek love. The FairyGodboyfriend wonders if me killing bad guys all weekend constitutes me being technically “off the grid.” You think about that a minute. I have some Materia to collect. Tweet

The Car Window Epiphany

It was a gorgeous day, too gorgeous to experience in the confines of a car. I rolled the window down part way…and then rethought my decision after immediately experiencing the wind and the noise that resulted. Defeated, I rolled the window back up…and learned something new.

Merry Christmas!

Hope you’re having the merriest of Christmas Days, no matter what you celebrate. Santa was good to our little tree…we’ve even had some flurries today but nothing has stuck yet. Fingers crossed we get some white, but perhaps not as much as is predicted to dump on NY tonight. Everyone contributed to the Christmas Feast tonight — Joe’s cooking…

The dishes, the lawn, the errands — those are someone else’s problems. Right now, all you need to worry about is hot coffee/cocoa, a roaring…

Wassap?

Lots of errands to run today. Strategic hits, all of them…it’s kind of amazing how much we got done. SEARCH AND DESTROY, BABY. Now, I am organizing art supplies. And then I will work on my novel. Maybe not necessarily in that order…but both need to be done.I am SO behind on NaNo…but I am so not worried, because…

The Princess’s Day Off

I sent a Tweet when I got home from the gym yesterday morning, and then I took the day off from the computer. The Fairy Goddaughters were out of school and my new desk arrived and needed to be assembled (that only took about 4 hours).Ariell and I went for a ride and got Starbucks and went to the…

Halloween Pics

Just a few, but fun stuff. I really had a great time with the pumpkins, and I thank FGB for twisting my arm and buying me some at the last minute. (Speaking of arms, carving two-and-a-half pumpkins is QUITE the triceps workout. Ow!) Also, I forget how gorgeous the fall is further north. I’m so glad I came back…
