Highlights Of A Week(s) Trapped In Time
It’s been a heck of a week… or two. It’s hard to tell at this point. I’ve been so busy things are starting to fuzz together. So, the highlights that I’ve been wanting to blog about.:
One: We (my friends and I) were sitting outside the craft shop waiting for one of our other friends to finish up inside when this very sweet little old lady walked past us. I smiled to myself, thinking she must be someone’s favorite grandma… and as she walked past she called us ‘devil worshipers.’
It must have been the multicolored hair and cat ears. Still, I’m glad she’s not my grandma. :)
Two: Hubby, Kei, and I have been playing WoW together for several nights now. Dorky- yes, but it makes for such great family time when we’re all questing together. I’m not a gamer like them but I love it.
Three: Found an awesome new Chinese resturant that isn’t buffet style. They actually make the food right there and oh! Mouth orgasm. Enough said.
Four: Ni, Ju, Kei, myself and several others went to a small anime-convention up at the mall. It was great. I dressed up in my outfit from NMAcon and Kei dressed up as a Neko with a red Chinese dress, ears, and a home made tail that actually moved while she walked. :) I won first in the cosplay contest, Kei won fourth and placed in the coloring contest. We had a lot of fun introducing our other friends to convention atmosphere.
Xean was so cute too!
Five: Went on an outing today, mushroom hunting- that’s what you do this time of year in Michigan. Discussed some old stories related to strange experiences. I thought about writing one of them down and when we got home my husband asked if I would. :)
Six: Told my therapist about a writing project I’d set out on a few weeks ago, something related to my issues, and how I was planning on sending it out to this one magazine. She seemed a bit proud and asked if she could see it when I was ready. I told her yes but I’m still a little unsure.
Seven: It has only just now come to my attention that I’ve left my laptop with my friends… about an hour away… thank gods I have the desktop.
Eight: My foot hurts. Really, really bad. Not sure how I did it but the general consensus is that I pulled something. One of my toes won’t move. I’m hoping it goes away before I work next.
Nine: I’ve give it some thought and after reading an article on revision I’m rethinking how I’m going to go about tackling that dreaded novel of mine. Before I make a decision though I need to find some poor soul willing to read it in all it’s unedited (NaNoWriMo’ized) terror. :( Frightening, ne?
And that’s that. :) Been awhile since I’ve made an in depth post of any sort but rest assured- you can assume that only means things are going well. Or well enough that I’m being kept so busy I can’t focus on the bad.
Peace!

I had to laugh at the innocent grandma in disguise. It’s weird how people can turn out to be totally different than they really are. As for the laptop thing, eep. You have more self control than I do. I’d be freaking out, though my laptop is really the only thing I have (besides my alphasmart) so leaving it somewhere would entail a huge freak out from me.
I hope you can find someone to read your novel for you. Shouldn’t be too hard, especially if you have the time to do a swap with someone else. Good luck – and I hope your foot feels better soon.

Thank goodness for the laptop! :D Still thinking about getting something more… mobile. It’ll come to me sooner or later.

Eh, not sure what was up with that. It hurt for like three or four days and then faded away. Pain came back yesterday but then went again after a couple of hours.

Tee hee, I still can’t get over that myself.
Lol, if I didn’t have the desktop to fall back on I would have totally made my hubby go back for the laptop. I ‘need’ something to type on and let’s not forget my precious internet. Ah, what a slave I am…
Ah, I remember Alphasmart. I’ve been considering getting one- I used one back in middle school but I’m thinking of going for something smaller.
Fortunately the question I had answered itself. :) And yes my foot does feel better, thankies! :D I have to run by your blog sometime, if feels like ages since I last checked in on you.
