today’s a day for writing

I will not be tempted by Kristen Painter any more. No matter how hard she tries.

I will stay off the Romance Divas’ forum. I have to. Sure I spent most of the morning there “catching up”, but no more. I have writing to do.

I will stay away from RWA Online today. I will not be tempted to rush in and announce the winners of the 2007 BOD election without final approval of the current board. I will not be tempted by the conversations of cabana boys and all the lovely pictures that have been posted.

And, no matter how hard Madame Nocturne tries…I will not be lured back into the land of Vampires and Werewolves. At least not for a few hours.

Am I glad to be back among the Divas? You betcha. But after four hours of hanging out there, I can see exactly why I stayed away.

Kristen Painter is an evil temptress. You have all been warned.

football saturday!

Headache is gone (god I love drugs) and it’s just in time for FOOTBALL SATURDAY!

Goooo Hogs! Beat those Cocks. (Gamecocks, you dirty little blog readers. Sheesh.) This is an important game. My little piggies are undefeated in the conference. But now the pressure is on and we still have some tough teams to play. But I’m not worried. Much.

Woo Pig Sooie!

And again, for me “wee laddie”(here he is in his Nebraska gear)

Go Big Red!

I wouldn’t cheer for Nebraska for anyone else…so Grant better realize how special he is… LOL

Before (American) football starts, I’m enjoying a bit of other football…yes, Soccer to us Americans. Liverpool v. Reading. I love Saturdays….

drunk blogging

Drunk blogging is the new drunk dialing…and I have a rule against it.

Remember drunk dialing? We all did it. (some of us still do) You know…you have just enough alcohol in your system to put you in a stupidly emotional state and you get all touchy feely and decide it’s time to wax poetic to the person(s) you love the most.

So you reach out and touch someone.

And sometimes that works in your favor and sometimes it doesn’t.

For me, drunk dialing has gone the way of the dodo and been replaced by drunk blogging or emailing. Really, I shouldn’t do it. But if I’ve had just one glass of wine too many, I suddenly have this urge to talk about my feelings. In writing. Where it stays forever. And can be forwarded. Or referred to. Often.

I’m a writer. This should be okay, right? Well, I suppose that all depends on the amount of alcohol and exactly what I’m feeling ooey-gooey about.

This has happened a couple of times over the past year. I’m not gonna point out the posts. If you’re a regular reader, you can probably pick them out on your own. If you’re not a regular reader and you’re really that interested in drowning in my sap–knock yourself out. It might take you a while, but you’ll find them.

One of my best friends in the world is still a drunk dialer, though he doesn’t do it as often as he used to. I think it’s cuz he doesn’t drink vodka anymore…but that’s beside the point. One night, I came home to a 30 minute message. And when the machine cut him off, he called back so he could finish. It was kinda awesome, really. I wish I still had that message cuz there’s nothing more true than the spoutings of drunk dialing.

Or drunk emailing or drunk blogging.

Today, I had a headache the size of Canada. It continued to grow until I couldn’t stand to breathe because the smells were bothering me. And the sounds. God everything was so loud! So I left work a little early, came home and popped a Lortab and took a little nap.

And guess what I’m doing now?

Noooo. I’m not drunk blogging. I’m High. Totally different. Duh.

punch buggy!

Back in my day, we called it “Slug Bug” or “Beetle”.

Now the game is “Punch Buggy” and we play it all the time.

Well, today I was in the car all by myself and I was kicking some Punch Buggy ass. Too bad nobody was with me cuz I saw two yellow punch buggies and four other ones. (The yellow cars are 2 pts a piece so they are special)

But, not only did I kick Punch Buggy’s ass, I also kicked some “Cruiser Bruiser” ass as well. (side note: The Lads called it “Boozer Cruiser” but since we have children of the non-boozing age, we stick with “cruiser bruiser.)

Get this…not only did I see the “Woody” Cruiser–I also saw a Yellow Cruiser. Man! There was no stopping me today.

But nobody was in the car, so it didn’t count…until now.

I’m punch buggying and cruiser bruisering all you guys. I’m unstoppable!
