Two great things happened writing wise this week!

ChicGalleria   Is doing a promo give away - signed copy, etc.

Spinetinglers  Did a great review on Beyond My Imagination - The Fantasy Short Story Collection.  Once its officially on the Site, Ill post a link.

Ive been pushing to try to finish up CB2 by the the beginning of Oct.  Life has been mostly work, writing, and keepig up w/ FaceBook, Twitter and here of course.  Im also on livejournal.  Must keep my name out there.  Hah!  Gawd that sounds funny.

I  still try to get on WoW when I can, but, its a bit on the 'back burner' w/ turning my mind set around, and focusing on my writing.  My acct actually got hacked about a Month ago, so, once they got em' back in stock, both the hubby and I got Authenticators.

Getting a craving for Chinese food.  Heh!

Ciao for now!

Not a whole bunch of news, but, thought Id post Something seeing as its been a few days. 

Been alot more consistant w/ CB 2 the last couple of weeks - think there was some fear / confidence stuff going on.  Working past that (the feedback I get from the 1st book def helps w/ that) and so the 2nd installment is really coming along.  I think Oct. is when itll be rdy to submit or self publish, whatever I decide. 

Im not sure if having a book out there already would help or hurt w/ getting an agent etc.  Not that Ive been known to do things the easy way, anyway.  Heh! 

Hubby and I are starting to think about what we want to do to the Condo, and trying to get a plan to actually Save the money for it.  I think a tankless heat pump, heater, whatever its called, would be the best bet.  We know we want all new windows at some point, and I really, really want to replace the patio door.  (the screen doesnt really work on it, so sucks for gettting 'fresh' air.

We plan on catching Harry Potter tomorrow night, obviously 'Fandangoing' the tickets.  hehe  Should have tried to reread the book b/f hand but ...  ah well.  Seeing as Im off tomorrow, really need to think about getting my hair cut.  Heh!

Give Away for CB or Big Things in Little Packages:

P.S.  Tks Steph for the great time at the housewarming. 

OK, Car story for yall;

Got to my car after work last night, started Her, and got a half-hearted try from the girl and then 'click, click, click'.  I got outa the car, and walked around the car (dont ask me why)  anyway, when I got to the back, Voila!  the trunk for some stupid reason was open.  So apparently the trunk light being on can drain the battery.  Yeah ...  Nice employee offered to assist, but neither one of us had jumper crap.  Yes Im taking car of that) Hubby rushes to rescue, but couldnt get a connection.  Did I mention its drizzling through all of this??  We have roadside assist, through our insurance, so we had someone jump us that way.  Yay! Car started.  After asking me (begging me) at least 2 times to Keep car running once I parked - wait for it - I turn off the car.  Realizing as soon as I did that Im an RTard, I start it up again.  'click, click, click,  (sighs)  Daddy in law adv that issue might be w/ the car being 5 years old, and w/ me draining the battery completely, I might just need a new one.  We have a regular charger and are going to try that through the day tomorrow, since Im off.

The hubby drove me in today and obviously picking me out tonight.  If by a miracle he gets it going b/f picking me up, were taking Her for a Very Very long drive through the country.  Hah!

Whew - how was your Thursday???

Maybe Im cranky, b/c Im hungry, (lowered calories, in hopes of losing weight for the Summer - Heh!) but having a really aggravating week.  Agitated, grumpy, and overall plain ol' frustrated. 

Work is demanding, home life is demanding.  Gawd, WoW is becoming demanding.  lol Theres nothing that isnt making me feel overloaded atm. 

Anyway, just needed to vent.  Im taking a couple days off in May, so hopefully that will rejuvenate me, again.
