If anyone's wondered why I've been so quiet lately, here's the reason.

We had a record snow storm.  Normally we get two inches of snow on the ground and it's a big deal.  This year, we had over a foot.  It's the most snow my area has gotten in over 70 years.  No one knew how to cope with it and no one was really prepared for it.  My family is lucky because my father lived somewhere that got snow like that regularly so he knew what it was like and is one of those people that stock up on things "just in case." 

On Christmas Eve we lost power around 9 p.m.  The power came back on last night at 9 p.m.  Everything got put on hold until today.  We haven't opened gifts.  We had everything for Christmas dinner shoved in the fridge hoping that it wouldn't spoil.  And Dad stayed up for two nights watching over our gas stove to make sure the house didn't get too cold without damaging anything.  Dad is awesome! LOL

So a very late Merry Christmas everyone!  I haven't caught up on LJ or my mail (snail or email) or anything like that so be patient.  I'll get around to it soon. :D

Another Christmas Miracle

Since it's 12 days until Christmas I thought now would be a great time to start a holiday rec spree at feelgoodfic 



Please visit the comm and share the fun. :D

I snagged this from bethctg2  who got it from foxrafer and stormatdusk 

On October 31 create a Halloween post and invite people to "trick or treat" by leaving a comment. You can give any kind of treat you like: a picture of their favorite actor, a manip of their OTP, an icon, a ficlet, a few words about why you're happy they're on your flist ... basically anything goes.

Be as creative about your post as you'd like ("decorations" are encouraged!)!

Happy 4th of July Everyone!

I don't have a icon that is properly festive for the holiday, but I 'm sure no one minds a cupcake or three. ;)

It's New Years so it's time to take down all the pretty things.  The tree is gone, but I snipped some bits of it to put in my room so that it'll smell nice in there.  Let's hope the cats don't notice that bowl of pretty green things. LOL  I cleaned up the remains of gift wrapping and stray gifts that I didn't have a place for.  The guitar still has me stumped.  I'm tempted to shine up my father's old guitar and hang it up on the wall.  Not that I really have room to do that.  But I think it'd be nice up there.  My guitar for practicing is in the closet and barely fits.  LOL

I'm sad to let the Christmas icons go.  I love the Christmas lights (my favorite decorations) and the pretty Lex icons for the holidays, but it's the New Year so new pretties to play with!  I am tempted to use the new Tom icon I have with the hot pink background, but I usually use girly icons as my default.  But it's sooo pretty...and pink is girly right?  *g*

Friday, I'm planning on taking the laptop to the hot spot and download everything I can think of.  Vista, Norton, Netscape, spy ware removal tools...maybe even a few trailers.  Maybe I'll finally be able to see the Dark Knight trailer.  Woot!  I went in and cleaned out the start up programs, which caused the start up to pick up speed.  Though it keeps complaining that I changed the start up procedures.  (Will that EVER shut up? LOL)  I also uninstalled a ton of programs that I don't need.  That helped too!  Maybe after the updates, I'll be able to sit down and actually write using it.

Last night was a bust but I'm not going to whine.  I did read some great Clex stories and I worked on my Christmas present to hils.  So I'm getting closer to finishing at least one resolution!  Yay me!  LOL  And thanks to a late night (for her) convy with hils, I have more crack.  *facepalm*  I swear all she has to do is say hello and BOOM I have crack. 

So off to do more reading and writing so I can work on those resolutions!

My ramblings about the weekend.  If you're interested click the link and read my long ramble.  ;)

Happy Valentine's Day flist!

Ya know, I never thought I'd just babble about random stuff in my life on LJ and now I do it all the time.  I wonder if that's a good thing or bad thing.

Today  I attempted to start my Christmas shopping.  I couldn't find a single thing for anyone else, but I did make a nice haul for myself.  Got two new shirts for work.  Not super dressy but nice enough.  And I can use them as layers which is great coz the office is either freezing or an oven.  glimmergirl's facination with lotion is contagious.  I went into Bath and Body Works planning on making a haul.  I was lucky...sorta... There was no sale so that curbed my desire to spend and all that new holiday stuff goes wonky with my body chemistry and it doesn't smell all that nice on me.  But there is an Avon store in the mall and they had my favorite lip balms AND a  trial size lotion basket.  They had this wonderful stuff that smells like a tropical vacation.  I could just picture my Wes!Muse rubbing it ALL over.  Told him about it and he said he loved the idea!  Yay!  I love it when he does stuff like that.

I think I'm doing too much NCIS.  Abby's having a bad influence on me.  I went into Hot Topic and wanted to buy a leather collar.  I've wanted one for awhile.  I have no idea why since I don't normally dress like that.  Maybe it's the whole patent leather thing.  The Cattwoman in me wanting an outlet.  Though if I wore it to work, the girls in the office would have a fit.  Which could make it fun.  Maybe I could get a collar with a jingly bell...that would drive everyone insane.  Bwaahahahaa

No I won't do that.  I like my job.  I want to keep my job.  No jingle bells.

I do have Jay's (aka Wes!Muse) present.  I hinted at what I got him, so now he's going insane trying to figure out the present.  It's the gift that just keeps on giving.  He goes crazy for a month while trying to figure out what I got him.  I love being an evil kitten.

At the moment, I'm snooping at Batman Returns screen captures and considering working on the McAbby fic.  I'm sort of wondering what sort of music McGee would listen to...correction, music that I could stand.  I need the right flavor for the writing process.  And I have to stay away from Train for awhile coz it's making my Ton!Muse go crazy.  He loves the stuff for some reason.  UGH!  The Muses need to stand in line or something.

U2 may work for McGee.  I know the Stones works for Abs.

I should be writing something, but I'm busy talking to Jacey and using that as an excuse not to write the annoying Padme plot bunny that's hopping through my brain. I do NOT like Padme so I don't know why my bunny involves her.

I've been looking for a Halloween costume, so far no luck. But then I don't know if they'd be happy with me at work if I did dress up.

I'm reading Karen Traviss' Bloodlines. I'm liking it better than my previous attempts at reading NJO and post NJO books. It's weird reading about Fett though. I used to avoid Fett related stuff because my ex is so obsessed with the character. But now I'm happily ex free. Yay!

Ok...I guess I should write something in my strange Padme fic. Blah!
