Morning, purgs. Looks like I missed a lot while hunkered down in the revision cave this weekend.

Shveta!!! *tacklehugs*

(((Xiao)))

(((All the sick purgies and their families)))

Rick and #3, congrats!!

Lily, yay on finishing!

*wonders what squicks out Fire*

Made the weekend all about my revisions, and actually finished them. Need to send them out today and ask what's going on with my thriller that she gave to another agent. Ugh.

Mornin' folk!

Working from home today. Highly suspect I'm coming down with whatever kiddo had. Bleh.

Worked on MBG this weekend, came out with about 3,200 new words. I'm sitting at 36/50 pages, so I still have some more to go, but I'll count it as a win.

Think I'm gonna curl up with fuzzy pajama pants, hot tea, and pretend to work.

Good morning, everyone. Our January thaw, which was considerate enough to occur on a weekend, is officially over. It's fun, though, seeing people who have a little bit of a sunburn across the tops of their cheeks from spending the weekend outdoors. A whole lot of the locals managed to get their Christmas decorations down before Easter, for a change! Me, I'm still stowing the indoor stuff, so I'm glad we do very little outside in that regard.

Can those of you with covers in your signature tell me what size images you use? I've been meaning to do that for a long while and figure I should get it done sooner rather than later, even if it's just anthologies with my pseudonym misspelled and cover art completely unrelated to content. Sigh. I resized my covers to the largest allowed, but they look too big, really.

Maryn, livin' large

Morning all.

You all know I started a new diet last week. Well, I'm happy to say I can report a 7 lb loss this morning. Very happy about this. Who knew W3ight W@tchers would work so well

Yay, on finishing the novella, Lily!

Morning, purgs! Repped my way through a few pages. Yet another crazed weekend here, though more on the home-improvement front than the social-life front, sad to say. I was actually looking forward to work this morning, I was so tired of messing around with the house.

But we have a bunch of new valves in our heating system (which = much quieter pipes), and a new faucet for the kitchen sink, so yay. Much better water pressure. I didn't realize how bad it had gotten.

Also, am totally caught up on Dr. Who now, and somewhat crushed that I have to wait till April for more. Matt Smith is an amazing, amazing actor.

Warm here, which means slushy muddly yeugh with heavy fog, but as it'll be dropping back to 0 soon, I guess I'll enjoy it while it lasts.

Shveta! ~*flying tacklehug*~

{{Tas}}, hope you feel better.

Rick, yay for kiddo!

Lily, w00t! on finishing!

Blue, that sounds like a lovely day, sea lion farts (?) aside. (How close do you have to be for that experience, anyway?)

Afternoon all.

Cindy, I'm still giggling over sea lion farts.

Hooray for the weight loss, Sammy!

Wahey, Rickette #3!!!

Sleepy as all get-out here. Had one of those nights, the Hour of the Wolf turned into two, so I guess I only had 4 hours of sleep. Bah. Have just finished an edit, but that's it for me today. Now to write.

Mine are 75X120, pretty small, but I dislike humongous sig blocks. *nodnod*

Ink and firedrake, yay for the revision and edits.
Tas, impressive word count for the weekend.
sammy, congrats on the successful diet.
Sunna, yay for new pipes! I had a weekend full of house repairs, too. Only nothing so exciting.

Y'all, I could use a little good luck. I'm about to go mail out my application for this amazing dissertation writing workshop in Sydney. It would be a fantastic opportunity. Plus an expenses-paid trip to Sydney!

Hiya all.

Repped as I went. It's Monday. I have deadlines looming, too much on my to-do list, and work is piling on more stuff. Long weekend yet?

Quick fly-by to say hi and I miss you all. I am deep in the revision cave. This has been much more work than I was anticipating. But I think the end is in sight now...maybe? Please?

Hope all of Purgatory had lovely holidays.

*waves to FruitTree*

Sammy, yay!

Red, welcome back to the land of the mostly-living! This has been a really wretched year for viruses so far, and we're still in the early round of oog. I had the damn flu shot in September, and I'm told that's the reason I was only sick for 4 days. o_0

sea lion farts are no
joke. it is a giant cloud that looms over
them and wafts with the wind!

I've been to family reunions just like that.
