It's been snowing steadily since about midnight and while it's very pretty, it took me an hour to get my car out of the driveway. I get to work and two hours later they close the plant and send us home because of the level 3 snow warnings. WHoo hoo - 1/2 day off.

Now I hope my muse isn't taking the day off too. :)

Just me whining. I headed off to Birmingham yesterday, hoping to get a little writing done on the plane and a relaxing time in the hotel. It was not to be...I am sick as a dog. I think I had food poisoning - seriously not a happy camper Do you have any idea how not fun it is to be sick in a strange city and stuck in a hotel?

The of course I had to go to the plant today to work on my projects. Needless to say I am still feeling like crap and I think I've have downed an entire bottle of Pepto Bismol. I just needed to whine about it becasue...well I feel like crap and have to get on a plane in an hour to fly home. Not looking forward to it because I just know it wont be pleasant.

Please tell me your day is going better then mine.

I got new glasses today and they were Bifocals - YUCK, I am officially old!! But at least I can see again. It will take some time to get used to looking through the correct level. Right now I feel constantly Dizzy.

I am off work until January 5th and doing nothing but vegging on the sofa, watching TV and of course writing. It may be the best Vacation ever!!

Hope everyone had a Happy Holiday!!

So hubby needed to have his Jeep painted because the 15 yr old vehicle had rust and other assorted damage that demanded a new coat of paint. He's a huge Pittsburgh Steelers fan and everything in the car is already decked out that way. I had the shop paint it Steeler yellow and then bought one of those logo magnets for the door. I think it looks awesome. Hubby is lovin' it. I do enjoy making him happy and sometimes it is so easy!!!

What do you think?



And yes I'm still a Texans fan but I am surrounded by Steeler fans. I've learned to live with it. [g]

USA today reported that last week's episode of Supernatural was its largest audience since Feb 2004 - 4 million viewers. Whoo Hoo! Almost caught Smallville in the ratings.

Watched tonight's Supernatural. No spoilers just the prevailing wisdom voiced by Dian Winchester that Bobby IS AWESOME!! Love how he keeps calling the boys idjits and other names.

I will post my thought on all the new seasons later - still catching up on the new season from my week without power.

In other news, I am in Alabama on business once again. Stop by say hi - Hotel rooms can be very boring. Flying home tomorrow. I do this just about every other week. It's gets a little tedious but at least I get a lot of writing done.

So as I head into day five of no power, I am starting to get pissed. #%@$@&#!!!!

Called AEP - we are on the list for friday. FRIDAY!!! Not a happy camper. They lied about Wednesday but I guess I shouldn't be surprised. My block is the only one in the neighborhood without power - Lucky me.

But at least I will be able to watch SPN tonight. A friend with power has taken pity on me and has invited me over to watch.

And because the quote meme makes me happy, (Sorry Ith don't know Forever Knight well enough to quote) here are some others floating around the flist:

1) When you see this post, put a quote from the Buffyverse in your journal.
Xander: That's something you don't see everyday...unless you're us.

2) When you see this, post a quote from Stargate Atlantis in your journal.
Maj. John Sheppard: How's it coming, Rodney?
Dr. Rodney McKay: Slower than I expected, but faster than humanly possible.

3) When you see this, post a quote from Supernatural in your journal.
Sam: I don't understand, Dean. We burned the damn thing.
Dean: Yeah, thank you, Captain Obvious.

4) And because I am being held hostage by the power company - I'm starting a new one with a quote that seems appropriate.
When you see this, post a quote from Magnificent 7 in your journal.
Ezra: Now that we are rid of that loathsome curmudgeon you can effect my emancipation.
JD: Huh?
Ezra: Let me Out!!!


Please someone call the Winchesters or the Mag7 boys and tell them to shoot the power company or something. Maybe Chris Larabee can glare them into submission or Dean can exorcise the gremlins infecting my power lines. Or maybe I need Rodney McKay right now - he'd have had my power back in 15 minutes!

Hey out there. Sitting in the airport on my way to Alabama for my monthly check in with the plant in Birmingham. Flight is delayed - of course. I really hate flying through Atlanta and yet I continue to do it.

I will be be sitting alone in a hotel room all night tonight. Hoping many of you will be around so I don't lose my mind!

I'm cutting it close on this week's spawn fic but I always seem to be inspired on airplanes. I think my muse likes the peanuts. She's been a little uncooperative lately.

But the good news on the writing front is the next Watcher!Abby story is at the beta. I've been neglecting poor Abby and I hope this means she'll be yakking at me more.

Halfway through a new highlander fic - Methos centric - yep when everyone else shuts up you can count on Methos to snark at you.

As for the ficathons update:
The numb3rs story was posted and I won't be signing up for that community again

The WTficathon story is almost done. It came together in an unexpected way and I'm writing House - never done that before. It's due Aug 22nd so I should make that.

After swearing off ficathons I signed up for the Mag7 one - come on how could I resist. I have an idea so it shouldn't be a problem.

Now if JD and Mule would just cooperate and tell me what mischief they are up to - I could write my spawn fic.
Wanted to share - sweeteen_200 made these excellent Icons of my Spawn. *hugs* to her!!

It's finally really spring and i drove the Spacebug for the first time this year. Poor thing was sitting for months on the garage. I'm doing the happy dance. It is so much fun to have the bug back on the road. I love my car!

It has been a hectic week. Happy Passover to all who celebrate. I am already sick to death of Matzah. I've never really been a fan.

As for the Sequel to "Since I found Serenity", I haven't had much time to work on it but i am at 14,000 words and closing in on the end. Remind me to avoid epics in the furture, they can suck the life out of you or maybe that's just the Reavers.

I haven't forgotten the other stuff in my queue or the beta work i owe people, but time is at a premium. Work is just crazy but I will get to the other stuff soon!
