Better Late than Never?

Sorry.

I had some freaking awesome news this past weekend, as well as many things happening in preparation of Thanksgiving. Who knew it was so hard to shop, then put away the stuff? Many things are sitting on my counter waiting for tomorrow. I plan to do lots of prep work, but holy heck!!!!!!

But then I had Monday that MamaKitty had some minor stuff done, but I spent the day either in the hospital; waiting (the procedure took 1/2 to an hour, but we were there from 5am to 12n!!!). By the time we got home, I wanted nothing but sleep but had to wait until someone else was there to monitor her. The lady cleaned the house after a gall bladder surgery. She needs to be watched.

Today I had GrandmaKitty to shepherd around. I got called a Tattletale since I refused to let her get out of her other Dr Appointment today. I’m mean like that, her health taking precedence. Plus I didn’t get called the favorite Granddaughter. So there. :Sticks tongue out:

Finally, after some minor meltdowns and so on, I could get online and post this chapter.

I am sorry it took so long, but the site is officially on Vacation EXCEPT for the Writing Contest. That is one I am eagerly hoping that we get entries on. I have banned myself from PS to make me even more eager to play. Plus I have time to do them and I will want to sit down after decorating on Friday.

Here is the chapter:

Also, here is the link for the writing contest:

Looking, I have one entry so far. I have the answer to my question, so I will be posting shortly the results for the writing contest for October. I just need to boot PS (I told you I was banning myself) to put the author name in and I will be putting it out after all the relevant information is loaded.

Enjoy the chapter!

Thanksgiving

by Kittyinaz | Nov 17, 2016 | Kittyinaz's GRoup Food Blog Recipes

Tonight I did the thing we hate. I put together the shopping list for Thanksgiving.

I also updated the Food Blog to have those recipes that I will be using. For once upon a time, I tried to use websites that were popular on Thanksgiving. It took forever. Then there was the time mom accidently threw away the Turkey instructions and we didn’t find out until much later. I went online to get what I needed and it took a half an hour to load the Butterball site.

It took me less than a second tonight.

So I put all the recipes that I will be using on the food blog. I offered for those that are in the Facebook Group or associated with the food blog to get their recipes added to the menu, but no one answered. The recipes are all still on the site, I just haven’t been able to link them up since my computer has been acting up and turning off the internet all the time.

Here are the recipes I will be using in one week:

NANCY’S PARMESAN CHEESE BALL

BUTTERBALL’S TURKEY INSTRUCTIONS

GRANDMA’S STUFFING (AKA SOUTHERN STYLE STUFFING)

CLASSIC GREEN BEAN CASSEROLE

SWEET POTATO CASSEROLE

PAN GRAVY

LIBBY’S FAMOUS PUMPKIN PIE

On the post, is a shopping list for all of the items above. You can find it here. I also mention an app I use for Shopping, OurGroceries.

I am off to relax, and I will get the Dying out as soon as I can, I just need to relax so I can wake up earlier tomorrow.

See you guys later!

Another Chapter Down!

by Kittyinaz | Nov 17, 2016 | Brotherhood of Aos Sí, Orginal Story

I have spent the previous and this night researching. I know I seemed to have built in a blind spot in my story, but I am seeing the light at the end of the tunnel.

Of course, my computer was still being a pain in the but. I ended up tearing it apart and working on it. Then today still having issues, M and I moved the tower up out of the area it was in, and now have a fan that is now dedicated in blowing in the area that has the Graphic’s card. I think it was overheating since it was below the graphics card.

One of the most frustrating things is that when I like to relax, I like to play Civilizations V. I am not a war monger, (M is) but I like building up my cities and so on. Unfortunately, the computer kept shutting it down, now I got to play beyond the 160AD. So I am happy. Tired. But happy.

But I also posted in the Kittyinaz’s Facebook Group the new players entering the Pack in Aos Si. So there is a hint on what is coming.

I am sleepy and shaking so I need to head to bed.

Enjoy the new Aos Si Chapter if you have access, and don’t forget to tell me what you are thinking so that I can take it in account.

Also, I moved Crossing the Fine Line to Inkitt, to see what it is like. I am thinking of adding Our Road is Long and a few others, but I want to see how they are on the approval process. If you are over there, I am under my real name. I will provide a link next time.

Night everyone!

On a Roll!

by Kittyinaz | Nov 15, 2016 | Brotherhood of Aos Sí, Orginal Story

So last night a scene came to me from Aos Si. It involved Peter talking to Jason about his idea for air support.

Needless to say, that inspired me to write, but I couldn’t get to it until a couple of hours ago. I wrote it, and I am off to write more on the next one. Don’t be surprised to have a couple more. Hopefully. I want to finish this story up so I can work on others. And to get to editing this, and seeing what others have to say, if I should expand more on certain sections or leave it.

If you are a beta reader for the original stories, there is a group set up there for you to know what the passwords are. You can contact me on Facebook, and I will look to see if you are on the list to be admitted there.

Also, I am awaiting one last person to contact me for what Penname to put on their banner. Once I get that, I can release the placings.

And don’t forget the Christmas Contest!!!

Most of you are aware that every year, I put the ladies and the site on holiday. What this means is that I will still try to get ahead, write and so on, when I get the time. I bake, cook and end up wrapping presents for everyone it seems. Yes, I have even wrapped my own, until lately that I demand that they wrap my gifts. ::grumbles::

Due to the demands on my time, as well as everyone’s during the holiday season, there is no expectation of anything to get done. If they want to work on stories, they can. If they don’t they don’t have to, and on top of that, there are no expectations of anything being done until January. I also spend the first of the year getting the site updated on year things, as well as making sure none of my betas have decided not to be able to spend time on my stories.

It happens. I fully understand!

And I have spent a long time today fighting with my computer. I think I need to talk to hubbies about moving the desktop to another spot so it can keep cool. I noticed my graphics card getting really hot, so that might be a problem there. I have also spent a long time fighting with the internet, and I may have solved that issue. We will find out later.

So, please enjoy the chapter for those that can read it (the banner links you there). I promised someone a chapter of Dying and I will get it out. I just want to get the story out of my head while the muse is participating. I might actually be able to finish it.
