Wow, unimaginably (spelling>??)tired.  Were all moved in, but, its taking forever to get everything the way we want it.  Of course, with owning your own place, were already finding things to do that will eat up alot of our play money.  Boo!  When did I agree to become an adult???

I unofficially have an editor set for Nov. for Creator Born part Deux - hehe - so def will have it rdy for her by then.  Excited! 

Ok, seem to be addicted to Intervention on Monday nights  - yeah, I know, Lame.  I find it really interesting.  The hubby is obnoxious during it though.  Man has no sympathy lol  He thinks the theme song should be Winehouses' Rehab.  (sighs)

We cant believe George Carlin died.  The hubby had introduced me to him, actually.  Loved him.

Oh!!! Madonna might be single again!  I hated her for having kids - long story.  Heh! 

Anyway - Ciao!!

Well, weve finally done it:  we close on a Condo near the middle of June.  Excited and terrified at the same time.  Its going to be a very busy couple of Months.  Heh!  Movers are already scheduled, and were both getting boxes from work.  Yep, already packing.  Rather do that slowly, now, than in a mad rush at the last minute.  Its all the silly phone calls that Im going to have to make.  Making sure everything gets xfered to the new addr.   What we almost feel the most thrilled w/ is that everything is being donated to an animal league.  The last owner had past, and had no heirs.  That part, of course, sucks.  Its nice to feel were doing something good, though.

We just got back from a 5 day stint in VA Beach.  Gorgeous.  The room looked out over the Ocean.  We had a great time.  We had to be in Norfok to get the "condition" remvoed off my "visa"  - for those who dont know, Im originally from Canada.  It blew b/c were on vacation, but was great in the sense it was 25 min away, verses 2 hrs away if we had to go from Richmond.  I accidentally cheated by putting the form ontop of the pile instead of underneath, so we knocked it out in like 20 min - funny.

Ill post some pics from the trip soon.

Creator Born 2 still coming along.    Should be posting a short story on http://www.creatorbornonline.com  soon.  Still hoping  the fantasy short story collection will get picked up.  The waiting is crazy.

Anyway, that is all.  Hah!

Was Not having a good day yesterday:

A Dark Place

What have I done, my Dear,
That would have brought me here?
Wrong choices?
Listening to the Voices?

Risks and chances,
Lifes little dances.
Cant correct a mistake,
No hope of a retake.

No opportunities abound,
Unable to stand my ground.
A day in my life,
Seems to be nothing but strife.

LIFE

Voices in my mind,
Crying out that Ive wasted time.
A warning that my blessings have run out,
A life thats been filled with doubt.

Wanting so much,
Was so outa touch.
Could of had everything,
Instead, it all seems to be ending.

Wanting the pain to leave,
Hope impossible to conceive.
A thirst for happiness that wont be quenched,
A once joyful soul thats been wrenched.

Damn!  Cant believe I havent written anything since Dec!  Having a love/hate relationship w/ my new job.  Ive been scrambling to find time to continue my work on the sequel to Creator Born.  Cabal seems to have taken over my soul.  Great game, weve actually closed our WoW accounts for now. 

Were going back to VA Beach in May - sooo excited!  We listened to one of those timeshare deals last time we went, and got a 3 night stay for $29.99 per night + $50 spending money.  Worth giving up a couple hrs of our lives. Heh!

Oh, the agency that really liked the Short Stories closed their doors. Hope someone isnt trying to tell me something.  lol

Curse of the Golden Flower, and

Legend of the Black Scorpion = Must Watch!!!

Hey all!

Been a bit, so thought Id say howdy.  Im working on Creator Born 2 a litte bit daily, and it seems to be coming along fine.  The hubby gave me a great idea for a story, so Im working on an outline for it.  Vamp is almost done, well, almost done rough draft.

My short story collection actually made the second stage at a lit agency, so the waiting is just killing me.  Wish me luck!

Anyway, thats bout it.

Ciao!

Yes!  I got my 1st official, professional review!  It's just a thrill for me!  Sorry if I'm babbling. Hah!

Here's the Link, so please check it out.

They also posted it on Amazon.com!

Life is good ... 

The book signing in Fredericksburg went fine.  They were really nice.  Have an open invite if I ever want to go back.  Def when the sequel comes out.  The hubby went w/ me.  It was so sweet of him, he was soooo tired.  He works nights, so is usually quite out of it by that time.  hehe

Emotionally, wisdom wise, whatever, I dont think I feel alot older.  Think I feel in my body though.  Need to work on that.  Want to be healthy.  Anyway, all in all, it was a geat weekend.

Comcast is going fine, so far.  I mean, only the 2nd day, so Not like were going to accomplish much.  Call center work is call center work, more or less.  Miss a couple ppl from Reservations, but Ive learned to expect change.  Think thats the only thing thats constant in the world - Change.

Oh! I forgot my Betty Boop blanket, so Ill Have to go back and get that lol  an excuse to say Hello!

Bit of WoW news lol  Ill have my 3rd lvl 70 Char tonight, at some point.  Should lvl the Hunter tonight easily. 

Anyway,

Ciao!!
