Oh so behind on life!

[paragraphs]

I have so many things I want to write about (the trip to the UK mainly) but am behind, behind, behind. And am at work, and supposed to be transcribing a tape my boss Ed made while on vacation. "There might be seagulls, bar sounds, ocean waves..." LOL. He's in Houston today but I've been taking care of his business bunches.

I don't like what I am wearing today. I am just not a ruffles person. Okay I do like that purple shirt I have, which is similar to this, but yeah...they seem different on here...

My friend Cid is in Paris now and LOL I miss her tweets and texts!! Hope she is having a brilliant time.

It looks like I will not be going to school this semester. I have not the money after all due to many things like my son's car, a couple of evil bills, and my a/c needing work. I am suddenly really really really broke, and haven't been working much the last month, so yeah. I'm going to talk to financial aide/the register but I am thinking I may have no real choice. I also have a bunch of books to buy, too... Life, why you misbehaving? Why didn't I qualify for financial aid--at least a Pell grant? That would've been brilliant. Sigh.

Book status--I have nothing. I emailed my editor last night. I signed the contract in February? March? I should have a date by now--granted, it needed work, and all that, but I am getting antsy! Grrr. LOL. Soon I hope! Sooooooon... I am not whining, I just am eager! Seriously!

Ha Davis was just in here--he cracks me up, writing down all these instructions for me, to fill out a check request. I could've given him the check request...

BIG BANG -- oh wow, so many comments, so much love. I am adoring it. Yeah, the meme got me down a little with some wicked evil comments, but also? Many good points where made about things I'd left hanging a bit (nothing major, some little things), and some things that these particular readers found lacking. I can't disagree with a lot of the comments, and will take all under consideration. Otherwise, the comments I am getting are really really sweet.

Okay better do the work thing...I was only going to say HI but you know how it goes. I'm still here, still in limbo, though the person I am filling in for is now going on disability, so...yeah. We'll see what shakes out. Hopefully, it'll shake out in my favor. Sigh. Life, why you so frustrating?

I'm bummed that you can't get to school. I know about unexpected bills, soon as I save enough to buy my toys something big comes up. D:

I haven't read your BB yet! It is in line after Tomato's. I'm going to get a b/w nook I think if it allows me to download PDFs of these stories.

~news of your book is exciting~

I think you saw on twitter maybe but I figured out how to get myself to school after all. YAY!!! :)

I am sick to death of the unexpected. It all needs to stop now! Everything, behave!!

It's such a shame that you can't go to school! *sadface*

But yay for you getting sweet comments on your BB fic. ♥ I wish you would write SPN or HP - miss your writing.

Anon memes about the big bang - you are a brave one! I didn't even know they existed until I read a post in someone's journal about the SPN_J2 anon meme. I sometimes wish that we had a different comment culture, where people were allowed to say things to an author instead of hiding behind anon comments.

I get to go I get to go! UTA had a plan that I could do, so I've all been approved for it and am ready to rock. YES.....

LOL anon memes can be fun or they can be infuriating. I look every once in awhile on the Merlin one and have poked me head into the spn one, but generally, a major lack of time means I don't do it often.

Awwww SPN should be easy for me to write. At least I'd have the "Texan" dialogue down. ;)

oh man, that sucks about school. i know the feeling though b/c I have to make the "pay tuition or buy food" decision myself this week.

I found a way! YAY! I was so excited last night. Turns out I'd been really depressed about not being able to get started. I didn't want to wait until Spring. Too far away! So now, I will be whining about papers, school work, all the reading... LOL.

Oh man, I understand the "broke" thing. You know, sometimes I think having no money would be easier than having just too little money. ;)

I'd nearly forgotten about the book! C'mon, editors! I want to live vicariously, reading books that my friends write! I'm sure you'll let us know when it's out?

Wishing you luck with the work and the school issues.

I just wish I had no obligations. So many bills every month...sigh. Even though the kids both work and help out. Of course I did just get back from the UK... Priorities, priorities... LOL.

YES I heard from my editor this morning, finally. She's about done going through my edits, and is sending me back to go through one last time. OY! Slow process this time. Taking forever-- That money will help so much.

LOL you nut, and I love that picture of your niece.

[mightypretty.livejournal.com]

awwww hun, sorry to hear about school - fingers crossed you can maybe find a way to work around it?

So glad to hear you got the praise you deserved on your BB! <3

I did! It is all set to go again. Whew! I would've hated to have to delay another semester.

I can't believe all the people who have read that thing. Tons more than I imagined, and I hardly know any of them. :)
