My wife Crystal will be sending you a package as soon as she gets a day off. Thanks again.
Very good. We're gonna try to meet up with you on arrival!
That would be nice, you guys can be my family for the homecoming:) THings may change, as always with the army. We had a sandstorm today that turned into a rain storm. It got real cold real fast. Had to dig out some warmer clothes. Kinda like WA today with the cold rain and all, except lots more sand.
We've got thick fog this morning, I bet they never get fog there ;~D
cant say I've seen fog, but just about every other kind of weather including snow.
Heh..."Oops! Did anyone just hear a splash?"
On the other hand, that'd be a pretty horrible way to pollute the sea. Ick.
Snow even eh? I bet that is an odd sight.
Yeah, well, something in the ocean would eat it. Maybe.
My goal is also to be at 25k by Monday. Hopefully, that will happen, though it'll involved writing 11k this weekend.
Hmmm... sounds like you need a plot complication to me. Although when your story starts writing itself, to me that's a good sign. Means you're doing something right.
Ok, bus time! I managed 250 words this morning, should I feel happy?
It was last Feb. Really took us by suprise, as well as the locals.
My sister was on a trip to Israel (this is back in the 70s) and it snowed in Jerusalem.
They were all complaining until the guide looked at them and said "Do you know how many people get to see snow in Jerusalem?"
(BTW, I watched "Office Space" last night)
Did you think it was funny? There are some good lines in that movie!
Well...I do have something of a plot complication, in that I planned to have her meet kinda the classic romantic lead character - tall, dark and handsome and a bit serious. But then a little goofball of a guy showed up at the laundromat (thanks to the Hobbit Holers) and I think he's the right one. Right now she thinks he's incredibly annoying, though, mostly because he keeps getting in the way of her efforts to meet Mr. Tall-Dark-and-Handsome.
But I'm discovering just how truly lousy I am at writing romance of any kind, even the innocent stuff. I just haven't done it - guess this is good practice in that way! But I don't like my character very much right now. She's not been very nice to her true Mr. Right.
250 words in a sitting ain't bad! 11k in a weekend, though...whew! I don't think I could do it!
I still want a keyboard for my PDA...I think I could get a lot more done away from the computer. But I have other stories waiting in the wings, so if and when I get that, it'll be nice to have.
One of my all time favorites!!!!
We have a problem with your TPS reports. Did you get the memo about the new cover sheets?
Oh, and I'm gonna have to go ahead and ask you to come in on Saturday, mkay?
I think if I saw snow in Baghdad, I'd be trying to remember all the things that were predicted to happen on a cold day in Hell. ;~D
Such as yours truly voting for a Democrat?
so long all, signing off now. Probably go to bed soon, being as there is nothing else to do here....and that's a great feeling!!!!
Sleep well, You've earned it!
It does have a certain "flair."
It was a riot. Mainly because it's so true to life...particularly MY life.
Rasputin IS Lumberg...caught me in the elevator this morning with "are we ready for Monday? That's a priority you know."
"Oh, really?" What an idiot.
Of course I had half a dozen emails that take priority over the priority...
I guess it's good that I just don't care.
