Stess's Journal

OMG y'all. Apparently, when I break my Writer's Block these days, I turn around and laugh in it's face and then saunter away proudly. Seven pages. SEVEN PAGES in one day. That's a lot of pages.

Anyway, other than writing all I did today was cook. Seriously, I baked three batches of cookies and then made dinner. First batch was sugar cookies, I found colorful sprinkles and I made happy-fun-springtime cookies. That is their full name. Happy-fun-springtime cookies. They looked like easter eggs. :) Then I made oatmeal raisin cookies for mom and dad, because my mom just found out that, in addition to like nine other health problems that she's having, she is pre-diabetic and can't eat lots of sugar anymore. Not like I should be either, I'm probably on the verge of being diabetic myself, but so far that hasn't stopped me.

Then I made dinner tonight, because my mom wasn't feeling all that great and none of us were super hungry, so I made quesadillas and they were excellent, if I do say so myself.

So all in all, a good day. Now its time to go back to playing bridge with the parents. We are sad, sad people y'all.

Ok ok...don't everyone go at once, because of Geocities and bandwidth etc, but...

My website LIVES!

It's just an index page with a link to this lj, my porfolio, and the new site I made about my book, but check it out, because I'm super proud of it.

I had to post, because my mom thinks I'm going to get on here and tell you all that they tortured me into playing bridge with them. Actually I had fun, bridge is like slightly more complicated Hearts/Spades. I got the hang of it quickly, and actually won the last three hands, which thouroughly irritated her.

In other news I've been working on a website for my story. Admittedly, I have started and restarted doing this about six times in the last year or so, but this time it looks rock awesome, thanks to my recently heightened knowledge of GoLive. Yay for rollovers! It would look even better if I had Flash, but that shall come later.

NBC just showed an ad for the new Monday programming after the Olympics. Their tag for the show Medium is "Everyone's favorite psychic soccer mom". Like, how many other psychic soccer moms do we know?

Ahhh Andre Boticelli. I'm telling you, man, my future husband better have a good singing voice. I'm a voice person. And there are like four hundred brides walking across the stage...ooookay. Ahh...they represent "hope" and carry torches made of lilies. Gotcha.

( Ranting about Facebook, cut for length and in case you just love FB )

In other news, Yay! for defeating writers block once again! And very yay for being more than half done with the best thing I've ever written, ever. It rules, seriously. If you don't believe me, I will be more than happy to let you read part of it. But if you tell me it sucks I will hate you forever. Just kidding, I think I could use some second opinions.

PS - Ash, you totally need to rent the Chronicles of Narnia for GC and get Zeb or someone over and play it together, so fun. You can do 1 player, but it's better with 2.
