The Bouncy Castle in Space

Sounds like you got off easy there; my girlfriend expects the same kind of swap is fair, but substitutes DA with 'reality TV' *shudders*

I mean, I'm not even forcing her to watch Dr Who anymore, she loves it. So why must I suffer?

Also, Daniela, my two-year-old was mesmerized by your stripper pole dance-y character earlier.

HAHA! Here I was trying to squeeze in a little AW time with 3yo next to me and he had the exact same reaction! So funny!

Also, I've never lost an entire draft, but last night I was writing exhausted and when I finally decided I was too tired, I closed a bunch of windows and clicked "do not save." on all. Including the writing I had just done. ugh.

Ach! summerb. That would be horrible. Now watch, I'll end up doing the same thing.


I'm worrying that the parents in my current WIP (which still isn't progressing) are just too dang evil. I know villains are supposed to be nasty, but these folks are over-the-top, although we don't actually meet them until almost at the end, and then everything gets turned upside down anyway. But still, I just don't know if they work for MG.

Maybe this dilemma is why I'm not finishing it like I should. Self-doubt is so hard to deal with.

Sissy, I vote for evil parents. They are practically a MG institution.

I spent 5 hours on a bus trying to prevent the naughtiest student in the fifth grade from getting in trouble, and 4 hours freezing my patoot off stomping around a muddy snowy field at a revolutionary war reenactment field trip. I am pleased to be back home. I was supposed to go on the trip, then told by my boss yesterday afternoon that I couldn't go, then told this morning on my bike ride to work, five minutes before they left, that I WAS in fact going...and luckily I had not dressed appropriately. Or brought my teen vampire romance to read. And my brand new shoes are now my muddy old ruined shoes. But it was worth it to enjoy the reenactors sassing the students in bad fake English accents.

I think we need to devise some type of award or medal for Kitty. The situations she gets put into and handles are beyond the bounds of the ordinary. Five hours on a bus with a group of kids? Who comes up with such an idea? Five hours on a bus, alone, would put me in a wrong mood.

She at least deserves a cupcake of her choice. That just my opinion.

We could make her Queen of the Bouncy Castle for the rest of the work week.

At you service, my Queen.

*is honored*

That's what I'm talkin' bout.

Though I'd join the bouncy castle. Don't think I've posted in this thread, so howdy .

I've come to pay homage to Queen Kitty. I bear gifts of slightly used chapter books and Fresh baked (at the store) chocolate chip cookies!

Welcome, AC Thomas! Feel free to bounce.

Hey AC, sorry I didn't say Hi--if you hang around here enough you'll learn I'm not exactly proficient in the social graces =-)

I officially proclaim:

Let them eat cupcakes!

Curtseying to Queen Kitty.

I have some killer orange dream cupcakes my sister made. I'm sending half of them over to you, Queen Kitty.

Hi, AC Thomas. Nice to meet you.

I'm so very curious. Where was your trip going to be? Shame you couldn't go, but yay for the extra time to write.

Well, we'd planned to go to either the Riverwalk in San Antonio or on a wine tour of the Hill Country. When we looked into actually booking a spot a couple of weeks ago, everything we were interested in was already full!

First Valentine's together, so it was a little disappointing. But we decided we'd just stay home and save the money for a better vacation later in the year.

I'm going to make full use of the time!

That is a pain when that happens. But spending time at home together can be fun, too.
