Hope you have a great weekend!!!

I thought I'd give you a little something to make you smile :-) !!!

This week hasn't been much different than any of the others. I did manage to finish the purple witch hat that I needed to crochet for the October exchange. It's purple!! I'll post a picture of Monday. So that is two hats that I have crocheted now. One black, which is on it's way to NC for Mary, and the Purple one. I seem to have been bitten recently by the crocheting bug. It is easy to get lost in. I did do some tatting last weekend, for about 10 minutes, the rest of the weekend was spent cleaning the damn house. I know that I shouldn't feel that way, but I hate cleaning. I just HATE it!!! Furthermore, if I lived alone, I would not have to clean nearly as much. I would rather be tatting, or crocheting. I just want to put something on TV, usually something I have watched before, it's just for sound, and I just want to tat mostly. There are hundreds of patterns lately, that I just want to make. Plus I need to get to work on Christmas presents. My fiancees family is just getting homemade things this year. I'm not spending a lot of money on them. I don't even spend time with them, much.

For instance, this weekend my PMIL (possible mother in law, not!) family is having a reunion. I know about it, but I have not been asked to come or invited. So, do I go, or not?

I participated in writing workshop yesterday, on-line. The Erotic writing group hosted Karen Higgins workshop on Idea to Outline yesterday. I think it was a very good discussion and very helpful information was passed around by all. One thing I did notice, and I thought this was weird, some of the people, writers, worry that they sound like a "dork" if they record their voices making notes for their writing. I thought that was weird. I do this, because I live in a very stupid town where I have to sit in traffic twice a day, 5 times a week. So as I am trying to keep my temper at bay, no easy feet that's for sure, I think about my writing and if I get an idea I record the thought into my digital recorder. Then when I get somewhere, either home or the office, I write it down in my notebook. But some people don't do this because they are distracted by the way their voice sounds on the recorder. No offense to those people, but I think that is so stupidly vain. It' not like they are going to stand in packed football stadium and play this recorder, it was an idea for your own use. Why does it matter what you sound like, when it's what your saying that you need to remember. And then one of them said that they keep a notebook on the seat next to them and just write down their notes while their driving. Yeah, that's not dangerous!!

Other than that, the rest of the discussions, I feel was very productive and helpful. I encourage anyone who is interested in writing Erotic Romance to consider joining this group. Marie also has some very useful articles in the file section for writers.

Well, I better close now. I'm venting. I have been very tired lately. Tired of work, tired of Alex, tired of the dogs, Bailey tore up a ball of my thread earlier this week and my wallet. I didn't kill her, but I did think about it. I need to do something, but I do not know what.

Bright blessing to all!!
