Has it been a whole year already?
Every year I think I should write one and send it in, but haven't yet. Maybe this is my year! :)

HOT HOT HOT HOT
It's supposed to be 105 today.
It was already 90-ish at noon.
I'm not going ANYWHERE for the rest of the day.
But I will hang the diapers outside instead of putting them in the dryer (I always mean to, it's just I'm lazy)

DH stole my computer again!
I am tired today and haven't had much time that I would have been able to write. Well, not totally true, because I went and worked out while DD was napping. I could have been writing. I also could have been napping, but oh well.
Anyway, I was trying to get back into a scene that I started yesterday where the hero's coming to terms with his problems with his late brother. Too much of it is back story blah blah and I will need to pare it down to stuff that is vital to the heroine understanding the hero and the hero getting over it.
So anyway, I thought of some stuff that I needed to say and next thing I knew DH was taking my computer to some demo. And the thing went out of my head. POOF like that.
I have also identified a couple of chapters that I need to cut completely, that don't do anything at all for the plot or even very much for characterization. But it makes me sad, because I like the chapters. I also need to trim down one of the chapters that I wrote more recently because I am suddenly introducing characters from the second book and I shouldn't unless they can add something to this book (it drives me nuts when authors write a series and toss in characters just so they exist before the next book comes up or just so we can see how happy they are after their own story's over, even though they don't do anything in the book) Sigh.

more teeth!
Silly tooth fairy stilled hasn't showed...
But she'd better get here soon, because DD is apparently working on 4 teeth. Is that story about the TF using old teeth to make baby ones true?
DD's been working on them for a while, but she's been chewing on her fingers and tugging at her ears and having horrid poops and I'm hoping it's only teeth. I gave her a half dose of tylenol liquid and she calmed down some, but she's still majorly cranky. We've dragged her off the table and away from computers more than usual today, all with much screaming and yelling.
Oy, my head.

sad news
A UK online friend of mine is separating from her husband. Six kids. It's just so hard to hear. Will everyone be happier apart, how will the kids cope, how will she cope, etc etc.
Another friend's dog had to be put down.
No recent news of the friend whose son has lymphoma and I hope that means good news. They were home after the latest round of treatments and massive side effects.
Another friend's mother has been told that the chemo isn't doing anything. This is the mother who was diagnosed at the same time as my mom's friend, who has been told the same thing.
And Michael Jackson? I don't actually care about him, is that bad?

he's right
I'm never going to get anything done now.
Dh installed the wireless network so now I can browse from anywhere in the house.

Stupid tooth fairy!!!
still hasn't showed up to take DS1's tooth. AND he says there's still one floating around from the last tooth he lost ages ago.
What's the tooth fairy's cell phone number? I want to give her a piece of my mind.
