Wow! Could It Be A Real Post?

Good morning! It's been a while since I've posted a "real" post, I know, but I'm here now. :)

This weekend was a little different. Friday morning, I asked Jeff what we were doing. I knew what needed to be done over the weekend. I just wanted to know what we were doing that day. We never decided before I posted my dailies, so I just puttered around a bit...on and off the computer...until about dinner time. Jeff then suggested we go out to get something to eat, so we went to Taco Bell.

After that, we went to Hobby Lobby. I got some yarn and knitting needles there with my 40% off coupon.

Then we headed down to the shopping center. Our first stop there was Shoe Carnival. We both bought hikers, and I have to say, mine are so much more comfortable than the shoes I bought last time I was there! :D

Next, we went to Books-A-Million to see if they had a Kindle on display. They didn't, so we headed over to Target so I could pick something up. They had Kindles on display, but they didn't work. :(

Our next stop was PetCo, where we bought some fish food, cookies for Nikita, and two more African Dwarf Frogs:



One of the older frogs seemed really interested in the
newcomers while they were being acclimated. He
stayed there,watching, for several minutes.


One of the newcomers


We got home late, and went to bed a lot later than usual, as acclimating the frogs to the aquarium took a long time.

Yesterday morning, we slept in. I never had time to post my dailies until last night, as we were out pretty much all day. We went to Hobby Lobby with another 40% off coupon, which I used for more knitting needles. I also got some more yarn and a yard of cloth to send to a friend who's going to make me a cover for my "tea cart":



My "tea cart" is really just a TV cart being used for all my
tea and supplies. I like having it handy! :)


The material goes perfectly with my moss green walls, and
the pinks in it match the pink in some of my
decorative boxes! :D


I did a little rearranging in my studio last week, and I moved my new coffeemaker and all my tea stuff in to where I used to have my laptop table. I moved the laptop table back in front of the windows, where it used to be a long time ago.

Speaking of, I need to fix myself a cup before the coffeemaker shuts off...

Anyway, after that, we went to Staples to see if they had a Kindle on display. They had two, but one only showed a demonstration on the screen. That was the newer, bigger, more expensive one. That's not the one I want. I want the other one they had on display, the smaller one with free 3G. You could leaf through books that were on it and you could really play with it. Yay! :D I really, really want one more than ever now. ;)

We looked around at the furniture there. I saw a computer cart, some book cases (Jeff liked the three-shelf bookcase, but I like the lower profile of the two shelf, especially since it's wide, not narrow) and some other desks I really liked. Hopefully, I can get that cart sometime. It would be awesome. :)

After we left Staples, we headed over to Walmart to do our grocery shopping. We saw Eric and Chelsey and Chelsey's friend leaving, and since I had my Knitbook binder with me, I gave it to Chelsey (I'd told her I would give it to her the next time I saw her). We talked to them for a couple of minutes, then they left and we went inside to do our shopping.

It's been a pretty good weekend. We spent more than usual, but considering the things we bought, we did very well. Also, Jeff just paid the mortgage and put a large chunk toward his credit card bill (we had to fall back on it when he was unemployed), so our bank account balance has gone down a lot, but we'll build it up again.

And speaking of that, I'm finally getting serious about studying my driver's manual so Jeff can teach me to drive. Once I have my license, I plan to start looking for a job. The plan is to earn the money to fix up this house so either, A) we'll like it enough to live in it indefinitely, or B) we'll be able to sell this house and get something better closer to town.

You know, we looked at a house near the new library, but we turned it down because it needed a ton of work. I'm kicking myself over that now, because we could have fixed it up and it would be a much better house than this one...and I'd be right across the street from the library! It cost something like 58,000, I think. It might have been 68,000. I can't remember. Either way, for what we spent on this house, we could have bought that one, got a home improvement loan, and fixed it up. We'd be in town, and I'd be so close to the library!

Oh, well, no use whining about it. I'm done. ;)

I did a little writing this past week, but I did more research than anything. I finished a short story I'd been working on...a Will Scarlet short story. :)

Tomorrow, I'll be babysitting, so if I get any writing done, it will likely be after that. Today, I'll be designing and printing pages for my Day Timer. I need to work out a schedule. I've got several things I want to start doing:
  • Write something every day
  • Research for my writing
  • Editing every day
  • Sit down every day and do some real, honest-to-goodness reading!
  • Start turning some of my art cards into other things, such as mugs, t-shirts, keychains, etc.
  • Create some new art cards and other artwork
  • Knit and/or crochet
So, I've got a lot of stuff I want to start doing on a daily basis (at least on my week days, which right now are Sunday through Thursday). I also want to get some of my writing ready for submission, as well as some of my artwork.

Of course, sometimes I have to babysit, so I have to be able to drop everything for that. But it should only be one day a week, and not even every week. Occasionally, it will be more than once a week, but it shouldn't be a problem. As long as I can work on at least one or two things on those days, I'll be fine. And the weekends I'll save for hanging with my hubby. :)

And on that note, I'd better get busy with those Day Planner pages. ;)

But first, here are a few more pictures:

In this picture, he's checking out the Lupines.


To brighten your day, Snapdragons and
Texas Blue Bonnets! :D

I hope you're all happy and healthy! Have a good one,

10K Days...

I was supposed to participate in at least one of the 10K Days this month: this past Wednesday or Saturday. I couldn't participate in either because I agreed to babysit, so I tried for a 10K Day yesterday. As far as reaching 10K words, the day was a bust, but to me, it wasn't so much about 10K as it was about sitting down and writing. In that respect, it was a success. I managed to write and edit two writing articles, one on character journaling, and one on using outlining in screenwriting. I'll post links when I can. :)

I've completed the first handwarmer in my Handmade Exchange for , and I'm well into the second. They're looking really good, so far! :D

My mom's heading back home on Saturday, so we have some things to do before then...like wash her hair, do her laundry, buy her a lingerie bag for her hand knit items, and laminate her new address tags.

Our library is moving to their new building...finally! I can't wait until they open for business (if they aren't already--I need to check). :)

Before I go, here's a photo to brighten your day. We planted some snapdragons in Jiffy pellets a while back. Eventually, Jeff planted them in pots, and one of them is actually blooming! :D





And now I'm about ready to start work on a new Immortal Watchdogs short story. I still have some planning to do (a lot, really), but I can write out the prologue, at least. :) Today will be my "official" personal 10K Day. ;)

Have a good one!

Happy 4th Of July!!!

lmeighmyYesterday was good, but I didn't do much reading. I got some yarn when we went shopping, so I did a little crocheting. Jeff's been working on his resume and cover letter, mostly editing and refining them.

Eric and Chelsey are setting up her computer and trying to get anything off it she wants to keep. I'll be formatting the hard drive and installing a fresh copy of Windows XP on it later. I'll also copy some setup files on it, in case she wants any of the free programs I've downloaded off the Internet (such as OpenOffice.org, Photo Filtre, and Belarc Advisor).

I'm hoping to do some writing today, even if only a little. I don't want the story to go cold.

I've got to e-mail my sister, too.

And I want to read.

Jeff and I will be babysitting Josiah tonight while Eric and Chelsey go out to see Eclipse. :)

That's about it for today. I hope everyone is having a great Independence Day! :D

Short & Simple

lmeighmyYesterday was a depressing day for me. I don't know why...maybe just the feeling that nothing I want matters. I don't know. I feel a bit better today, and I hope it stays that way. I'm trying to learn to be content, but it isn't easy. :(

Anyway, I've got four things on my To Do List for today:
  1. Grocery shopping
  2. Go through guest room closet with Jeff
  3. Edit more photos
  4. Do some outlining for tomorrow's personal 10K Day
These tasks should keep me busy. Hopefully, they'll keep my mind of stuff.

Today's supposed to be sunny and get up to 98°...and it's already that now. It feels like 112°.

Have a great Father's Day weekend!

Another Busy Day

lmeighmyYesterday was a very full day, and I got a lot accomplished. I miss writing, but I'll get my fix on Sunday, when I have my personal 10K Day. I may make Monday a day of drawing. It all depends on how things work out with weeding out and everything. Other, more urgent things may come up.

I have to admit to no small amount of discouragement. I really, really want to move back to New England. I've wanted this for a long time, but we keep putting it off because of other things. I'm tired of putting my dreams on hold because of this or that! Will I ever get to see my dreams come true, or am I doomed to live in "Tornado Alley" until I die (which could be sooner than I think with all the tornadoes that come through the middle of the country)? I know we'll all die sometime, but I don't want to go until I at least get to live in New England again. :(


I only have four things on my To Do List for today:
  1. Go through guest room closet (with Jeff)
  2. Call S. in Vermont
  3. Edit more photos (ongoing until they're done)
  4. Draw

I'll be calling S. as soon as I finish up online. I'm hoping she'll be home, and not working, but I guess that's what answering machines are for.

Jeff and I went to the library yesterday and got the books I had on hold. I also got an extra graphic novel while we were there.

Then we went to Coffee & A Good Book and exchanged several books for two new paperback novels. The credit I had left, I put toward a large Chai Latte. :)

We also mailed out a rebate form with proofs of purchase, and two thank you cards. I'm hoping to take some new photos today or tomorrow to print and send out to my grandma.

I signed up for a Library2Go account and downloaded my first audio book. I'll have to start doing that from the coffee shop, though. They use up a ton of bandwidth!

Well, I'd better hurry up so I can call S.

Have an awesome day!

I Really Need to Get Serious

lmeighmyI'm taking the next three days to work on weeding out. I haven't been ruthless enough. We still have a lot of clutter. I need to go through my clothes again, my books, and all the rest of my stuff. I want to get to where I only have the things I need and want most.

If I get a little writing done, it will be a nice bonus. :) Same goes for drawing. I'll be keeping a writing notebook (something I haven't been good about doing before) to jot down any notes or snippets, and I'll keep it nearby.I've also got a sketchbook, so I can do some sketching when inspiration moves me.

Anyway, my To Do List for today looks something like this:
  1. Get a notebook and pen ready for note taking
  2. Get my sketchbook, pens and pencils ready for sketching
  3. Go through my clothing again
  4. Go through my books again
  5. Go through my CDs, videos and DVDs again
  6. Go through my studio closet again
  7. Go through guest room closet
  8. Call S. in Vermont
  9. Don't forget to eat and take vitamins during all this
  10. Get thank you cards ready to go in the mail
  11. Edit a few photos
I have a lot to do, but really, this list is for the next three days. I'll do most of it today, since Jeff's working. Then tomorrow and Saturday, I'll do what I can. It shouldn't be a problem. :)

Sunday will be either a 5K Day or a 10K Day. I'm hoping to make it to 10K. ;)

It's nice and sunny here right now. It's supposed to get up to 96°, but it will get hotter than that. It's been like that a lot lately. Yesterday, they predicted a high of 89°, but it got up to at least 100°, and it felt like 113°. The wasps and hornets are already out this morning. :(

Have an awesome day!

So Much To Do...

lmeighmyYesterday, I finished the scene I was working on. It ended at 1,701 words.

I still need to work on my To Do List over the next three days. I don't need to finish everything on the list, but if I put a reasonable amount of time into each item, I'll be satisfied. It's nice to be busy again without putting undue pressure on myself to do too much.


So, my To Do List for this week now looks like this:
  1. Finish Immortal Watchdogs: Harshad scene
  2. Work on Immortal Watchdogs: Kalaghata storyline
  3. Work on Immortal Watchdogs: Chhaya storyline
  4. Work on Abu Faruqui screenplay
  5. Work on Karan Malhotra storm story
  6. Edit Raven: Indebted
  7. Edit Greywolf: A Boy Misplaced
  8. Work on Faerie Music drawing
  9. Work on two new art cards
  10. Work on dragon designs
  11. Work on Immortal Watchdogs ink drawings
  12. Edit and post photos

Chelsey, my mom, Josiah and I went to pick up Eric at his new job at Tyson Foods. He had orientation. After we picked him up, we went to Walmart so I could do the grocery shopping. Chelsey had to leave to pick Jeff up at work and bring him home so he could work on mowing the lawn, then she went back to Walmart. When we got home, we found out that Jeff was in the process of selling the Concorde to our neighbor. The price almost covered the grocery bill. ;)

I don't know how much I'll get done today. The kids and I have to go out later to see to car things (Chelsey's dad brought her a car and they need to get tags, take care of taxes, and all that). Otherwise, I should be able to spend time on some of my projects.

I'm almost done with the audio book, Acheron. In spite of its icky parts, it's an awesome book. Next, I'll be reading Bad Moon Rising, also by Sherrilyn Kenyon. I definitely want to get these Dark Hunter books. They're really, really good. :)

Well, I'd better go.

Have a great day!

If All Goes Well...

lmeighmyI've finished my Immortal Watchdogs: Harshad storyline...I think. It ends with a cliffhanger, so I may actually tack more onto the end, but for now, it's done. Word Count: 1,120, 1,046 of them written yesterday.

I started a new scene starring Harshad, but I didn't get very far into it. I plan to finish it today, though. In this scene, he is a knight, but he was almost "killed" and disappeared for a while, having been captured. Because of his eastern heritage, he went through a lot, being considered a traitor by those who captured him. Now he has returned and is telling the young woman he loves, for the very first time, how he feels about her. I've only written 97 words, so far, and those need to be edited.

My To Do List for this week looks like this:
  1. Finish Immortal Watchdogs: Harshad scene
  2. Finish Immortal Watchdogs: Kalaghata storyline
  3. Begin Immortal Watchdogs: Chhaya storyline
  4. Work on Abu Faruqui screenplay
  5. Work on Karan Malhotra storm story
  6. Edit Raven: Indebted
  7. Begin editing Greywolf: A Boy Misplaced (and come up with a better name!)
  8. Work on Faerie Music drawing
  9. Make two new art cards
  10. Work on at least one dragon design
  11. Work on some pen and ink drawings for Immortal Watchdogs
  12. Edit photos and post
It's a longish list, and I may not get to everything, but I'm sure going to try!

Jeff and I went to Lowe's last night to buy a new lawn mower. I wanted to do some more writing last night, but he only mowed for about an hour, and I ended up doing other things.

Well, I need to hurry up and finish on here so I can get to work.

Have a great day!

Guess I'm Not As Finished As I Thought

Yesterday was a good day. I wrote 3,339 words in my new story. I thought it was finished, but after reading it last night, I see it needs more. The ending is too abrupt. So, I'll be working on that for today's Wednesday Writing Sprints.

I had Josiah back here for about an hour yesterday. We watched music videos on my laptop. He fell asleep toward the end and his mom and dad took him back out to the other room. :)

Jeff and I had dinner at Burger King before he took me to sweet Bay. That was fun. Then I got a decaf spiced chai latte at Sweet Bay.

Not much else is going on here. Just a lot of writing. And I have to call about jury duty tonight. I have a list of things I need to do, so it won't be a boring day...just not much to "write home about." ;)

Have a good one.

Busy and Loving It

Yesterday, I wrote 2,828 words in my new story. It's not as much as I wanted to write, but I'm happy with it. I never wrote any character journal entries last night either, but I'm okay with that, too. It was nice to spend time with Hubby. :)

I have a lot to do today. I have all the usual online stuff, as well as working on my story and a character journal or two. I also need to edit some photos at some point, look over my friend's character workshop and give feedback for it, as well as feedback for [info]jakflak's book. It's nice being busy, as long as people understand that it might take a while.

I downloaded two MP3 soundtracks yesterday (Kaminey and Vivah) and one today (Mission: Istanbul). I'm really loving them! They're making me want to learn Hindi. Anyone know a good foreign language course? ;) I want to save up for that really expensive one...I forget the name, but it uses the immersion method. I think it's $300...or more.

I'm hoping to go to Sweet Bay tonight. If no one else shows up, I still have things I can do...stuff I can download.

It's very cloudy this morning and it's supposed to rain. Our high is only supposed to be 48°. I may use this weather to my advantage. It's great for writing atmosphere into a story, something I need to really work on.

I hope you all have a great day! :D

Day Off From Writing...Maybe

I wrote two character journal entries yesterday, bringing me up to where I started (the first entry was where the youngest character comes in). It came to around 13 pages. I had some awesome compliments yesterday about how my characters/ idea are very original and how I may "corner the market," so to speak. Very cool. :)

Today, I need to do a few things that I've been putting off because of writing. Our tree still sits bare in the living room. The Christmas cards still remain undone. I still need to do some shopping, too. And there's a potluck at the greenhouse. I don't know if I want to go, though. My mom would be left home alone. That would be a bummer for her. The room they have it in is on the second floor and the steps leading up are steep metal stairs. She could never make it up there. :(

I also need to get some photos taken to put in with the Christmas cards. I haven't had a chance to do that yet. :/

I just can't seem to keep up this year. Hopefully, I can catch up on most of it today. I'll have to resist the urge to work on my writing, though. That's hard for me to do right now...really hard...but I have to do it.

Jeff, my mom and I watched A Christmas Carol (1999 - Patrick Stewart). I love that movie! :D We'll be getting the version starring Alistair Simm next. :)

And on that note, I'd better go. I need to finish up on here, then get ready to go to the potluck (it's at 12:30...if I go).

Have a great day!

A Character Development Chat Would Be the Perfect Activity for Today

I don't know if I'll be doing any writing or character development today. I have one last feedback to write before I go on hiatus for a little while (hopefully, jury duty won't affect it at all), and then an "extracurricular" feedback. Otherwise, my To Do List really has nothing to do with writing:
  • decorate Christmas tree
  • start work on the Christmas cards
  • print out bank statement
  • Christmas shopping (haven't finished yet)
  • see about returning an order for my mom
And that's it. I'll be chatting with the writers over at the writing forum, so I may get something done, after all. We're having a character development chat. I'm hoping to work on one of the American Indian characters. :)

I also want to do some reading. It just depends on how long it takes to do each thing.

It's cloudy and foggy here and we're supposed to have a high of around 58°. This weather is so not worthy of Christmas. Where are the sub zero temperatures? Where's the snow? I'd even take icicles right about now. Anything to feel even a smidgen of Christmas spirit! (I know the spirit of Christmas is more than snow, but to me, it just doesn't feel like a real Christmas without snow.)

Anyway, I'd better hurry up and go fix my mom something to eat, then finish up on here.

Have a great day!

Wednesday Writing Sprints

Today is Wednesday Writing Sprints over at the writing forum, and I plan to use the day to work more on my new characters. I actually have four I'm working on this month. I haven't participated in Wednesday Writing Sprints for a while, so I'm eager to get started!

I'll also be working on my Xander Greywolf novel some more. I work on it a little each day, first reading some of the stories in the Mi'kmaq Stories books, then reading my novel and making changes, corrections, etc.

My To Do List:
Must Do:
  • Continue going through Mi'kmaq books in search of stories I can integrate into my novel
  • Go through some more of the novel making changes and additions, small edits
  • Work on character development for four new characters
  • Library
Would Like To Do:
  • Brainstorm new short story
  • Drawing and sketching
  • Read from new screenwriting book, taking notes
  • Other reading
I did some research last night, but I have more to do today...for my new characters. I'm really excited about them, and I'm keeping a journal about them (not a character journal yet, but I'm thinking of creating new categories over at Native Heroes for them...once I have enough to go on).

I'm still excited about Xander's story, too, but I'm anxious to finish the first draft so I can set it aside for a while, and revise it later.

I'll be babysitting for a while today (four hours or so), so character development seems a good fit. I can research and make notes, but I don't have to give it my full concentration like I do with my noveling. And it'll be good to spend some time with Josiah! :D

Have a great day!

Lois

So Much To Do

Today will be a busy day, but I love it! Yesterday was busy, too, but I felt like I didn't get as much done as I wanted to. I'm hoping today will be better.

A friend of mine gave me an idea for a new character and I'm anxious to start working on that today. I don't want to say anything about him and/ or her, but I will say that, as usual, he and/ or she will be American Indian.

Most everything on yesterday's To Do List has carried over to today's To Do List, but most of them are ongoing, at least for a while:
1) Continue going through Mi'kmaq stories to see which ones I can integrate into my novel/ start reading novel and adding new stuff (descriptions, etc.)

2) Work on character development for a new main character I'm working on (project over at the forum)

3) Brainstorming new short story

4) Drawing and sketching

5) Continue reading from new screenwriting book, taking notes

6) Other reading

7) Library (if my books are even still at the library)
So, today will be a busy day...and I plan on working hard to make up for the past couple of days where I didn't get a whole lot done. Okay, so maybe I did. I wrote feedback and posted it and did some reading in my Mi'kmaq stories books, then did other reading at night. I also read a chapter from the new screenwriting book. Still, I want to be able to scratch everything off my To Do List today. Some things will be carried over again, but I at least want to work on everything today.

I should add "clean and organize my studio" to the list, but I'm waiting for the weekend for that. Saturday, most likely. That's usually my day off...except that this Saturday is 10K Day, so I don't know. I'll have to think about it.

And on that note, I really should go.

Have a great day!

It's December, but It's...Raining?!?!

I wrote the two feedbacks yesterday and sent them on for approval or changes. I have two or three more today, so far. I was really sleepy yesterday while I was writing them, and I think that's probably mostly because of the cloudy weather. I feel better today...so far.

I never looked through my Mi'kmaq stories yesterday. I plan to do that today.

My To Do List for today looks a bit like this:
1) Feedback

2) Go through Mi'kmaq stories to see which ones
I can integrate into my novel.

3) Work on character development for a new main
character I'm working on (this is a project we're
doing this month over at the writing forum--
all writers welcome to join up and participate!)

4) Brainstorming new short story

5) Drawing and sketching

6) Read from new screenwriting book, taking
notes

7) Other reading

8) Library
Think I have enough to do? ;)

The Bradford Pear is wet! O_O It must be raining out, a light, misty rain that I can't see.

Anyway, yesterday was a mostly relaxing day, which would also explain my sleepiness. Today should be much the same...hopefully without the sleepiness.

Last night, Jeff and I watched Escape to Grizzly Mountain, a cute, family movie starring Dan Haggerty, from the Grizzly Adams television series. It was pretty good, actually. Jay Tavare was in it, too! :D He's great in anything.

Guess I'd better get started on this busy day. :)

Have a good one!

It's Nano 1st!

I'm going to make today a 10K Day so I can get a good start on my novel. I have a few things to do first, but when I'm done, I'm going to write like a mad woman! :D



Before I can start:
* Breakfast
* Dishes
* Finish posting entries
* Post to Int'l Scribes Support Group
* Get int'l money order ready to go out
* Make a money transfer
Wish me luck! :)

Have an awesome day!

Today Is A Day for Other Things

My To Do List for today looks something like this:

* Edit Native Heroes docs
* Work on Native Heroes book
* Make shopping list & go shopping
* Send out DVDs and CP Agreement
* Catch up on LJ Friends Page and Blogger Friends Posts
* Feedback
* Put books on hold at library
* E-mail wedding and Josiah photos to my sister
* Invoice
* Read
* Draw

And that's pretty much it. The things in bold I'll be doing before we go shopping.

Otherwise, it should be a relaxing day. The weather here is still very gloomy. That may force me to take it easier than I want to. ;)

Have a great day!

Monday's Are for Writing!

Today is going to be a writing day. Writing was the only thing on my To Do List yesterday that I never got around to doing. I have an essay to write, then I'll move on to my own writing, my novels. I can't wait! :D

It was a pretty good weekend. Saturday was a sleepy kind of a day. Jeff took lots of catnaps and I spent a good part of the day babysitting and reading. Yesterday, Jeff was back at work and I managed to get quite a few things done.

I have ideas for another new story, but I need a co-writer for this, so don't know if it'll work out. I have someone in mind, but don't know if he'll even have the time. I'll broach the subject today and see if he's interested.

Anyway, that's about it for now. I'm going to go fix myself some breakfast, then get started on the essay.

Have a great day! :D

My New To Do List:

Today's a cloudy day. It's only supposed to be "partly cloudy," but it sure doesn't look that way. It's just a gray, dreary day.

I plan to do some writing today, but I don't know when I'll get to it.

I have several other things to do:

  1. Make two or three message CDs
  2. Upload photos to laptop and edit
  3. Put new books on hold at the library
  4. Laundry
  5. Copy character journal entries into new documents on the laptop so I can have electronic copies
  6. Do two online photo searches
  7. Edit scenes and get them ready to send to my mom
  8. Read (I'm currently reading Terry C. Johnston's Sioux Dawn)
  9. WRITE! :D

Jeff's back at work today. He got really bored yesterday. He had stuff he wanted to do outside, but just never quite got around to it. He likely just needed lots of rest, and he got that, but then he couldn't get to sleep last night, so he took antihistamines to help him get to sleep. He seemed better this morning.

Anyway, after I do everything else on my list, I plan to work on my novels. Those are the plans. We'll see if I can carry them out! LOL!

But first, I've got to fix myself a cup of Rose Scented tea! :)

Have a great day! :D
