Critterfixer Posted August 20, 2016 Share Posted August 20, 2016 :grouphug: Krissi and family. Jean, a pox on early morning telemarketer calls. I hope your camp week is completely telemarketer free. Lemon juice is an ingredient in pancakes if you are not using buttermilk. I've seen it in more than one pancake recipe. I'm home from work and hoping to get some writing and/or a nap in today. Got some good feedback from the romance writers' forum on how to handle my over-emotional protagonist and I want to mull that over some today if possible. The suggestion was to let him feel what he wants to feel, but focus the writing lens on the emotion that most represents what needs to change in him. So I think I'll go back and read through his scenes to get a feel for what represents the best opportunity to showcase where he really needs to get his act together. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jean in Newcastle Posted August 20, 2016 Share Posted August 20, 2016 (edited) Took Rusty to bunny camp. Drove a half hour to my next errand. Discovered that I had left my purse at bunny camp. Drove all the way back to get it. Then all the way back to errands again.

KrissiK Posted August 20, 2016 Share Posted August 20, 2016 Thank you all for the hugs and prayers. The funeral was very nice. My cousin was quite a character, so it was upbeat with lots of stories of the pranks he pulled, etc. There were a lot of people there, my cousins even came down from Oregon, even though they were just here for the family reunion in July. 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Critterfixer Posted August 20, 2016 Share Posted August 20, 2016 (edited) Nap accomplished. I've been invaded. My neighbor's guineas are running around near my creek. I hope they enjoy the bug-feast.

I'm pretty sure my cat-contract specified-owner will nap while cat curls up and offers purr support. Not owner tries to nap while cat takes vigorous bath.

Susan in TN Posted August 20, 2016 Share Posted August 20, 2016 We have had the day. But all good. We finally got ds to his apartment and waited in line for 2 hours to get his key and check in stuff. Good gravy, there must be a better way! So it started raining right about the time we started hauling things up to the 3rd floor, but he had friends helping so it wasn't too bad. He has a nice private bathroom and a huge walk-in closet! We took him out to lunch at Dairy Queen and got him a gift certificate while we were there to encourage him to consume more calories! :D I had a mushroom swiss burger and could. not. finish. it. It was huge. Dd18 said theater call-backs went very well, but she didn't get the part of Nancy. They gave her Widow Corney, which makes sense for dd because it is the only "legit soprano" part. She is a little sad, but says it will all be good. While we were in the University Town we found a car to replace dh's car! It was so newly traded in that they hadn't cleaned it yet. It has higher miles, but it was immaculate with fairly new tires and the previous owner kept meticulous hand-written notes on oil changes and service done. Clean AutoCheck. It was well within our budget, too, even with doc fees, tax, title, etc. The sales guy was nice and said he will call as soon as he gets the second set of keys, and he'll pay us back for the emissions fee and fill up the gas tank. (They normally do it at the sale, but the tank was still 3/4 full). When we finally got home, we found the kids having a "formal tea" for dinner with cucumber and quark sandwiches and 4 kinds of tea. I puffy heart dd18. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ikslo Posted August 20, 2016 Share Posted August 20, 2016 Re: Theatre part I think I would rather get the part that made more sense vocally. Would give me more confidence that the director knows what they are doing. Which for me, would be not getting a part. I'm much better suited to painting sets. :D 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Critterfixer Posted August 20, 2016 Share Posted August 20, 2016 I have to confess, I've always wanted to act in theater. But I am no good at it. I can write emotion, but I can't act it. And I certainly couldn't sing it. So kudos to Susan's dd for being able to do both! 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm so hungry I think I might eat the dog. hmm, well, seasoned correctly, you may have something there! The sky has fallen in Central Texas and a deluge is pouring out. Oh my. I hope you're ok!

Or if I do, I eat a banana or a yogurt or something. I like to eat, but my stomach goes into open revolt if it gets fed first thing in the morning.

AMJ Posted August 21, 2016 Share Posted August 21, 2016 Good Morning! COFFEE!! Saturday Sleep-In! Yay! Yay for Susan's dd. Yay for furnishing apartments! Yay for DS going to camp! Today is going to be difficult. We are going to my cousin's funeral. He was shot and killed last week at age 59. He was always kind of the black sheep of the family. The kind of guy who just made some bad, foolish choices. But he was the nicest guy and he was the most giving and generous guy. And friendly. And he never ostracized himself from the family. He always came to everything and everyone liked him. Anyhow, he was letting a co-worker stay with him and they got in a fight and the co-worker shot him dead. It's been a terrible shock. So, the funeral is today. :grouphug: :grouphug: :grouphug: :grouphug: I am so sorry. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
