So, this weekend as a bust for me working and apparently sleeping. But those voices still try to talk… ugh
However, it was mostly for good reasons!!!
First off My dad’s bday was yesterday, but we gave him his present on Friday. See, he has issues with technology. Computers are something that are just not very good for him, since he doesn’t understand them. He just wants to get on them, and have them work. This causes issues since he agrees with anything that pops up to get it off his screen. Yes. He has had so many computers die from viruses that is not even remotely funny. So, when he gave up on the last one, gave it to my mom, he started making noises that he wants a tablet, thinking they would be easier. He sees M and I on ours all the time.
MamaKitty talked with me about it, and I told her to get him a iPad, since he has finally started to understand his iPhone. No need to confuse the man, and since I have had an iPad since they first came out, I can vouch for them. In fact, M has my first iPad, and told me not to get him a new one, he will just take the one I am using now when I get a new one. Awesome man… truly!!!
Friday, Mamakitty was all excited, while I was dead. My insomnia struck and I didn’t get ANY sleep that night. Miserable. Finally, I got some later on, then worked with MamaKitty to get DaddyKitty there. (I know many of you are kinda confused. My bio dad died a couple of years ago. The man I call DaddyKitty raised me, so… you can get the idea.) WE did, and then he turned around and bought my mom her bday present, an iPad.
Now, this is funny, since I have been telling her to buy one all this time. Now she has one, and she aint putting it down. LOL!!!! She has also admitted after using it, it is easier to work with than the Nook and Android Tablets. But they are happy, and I might actually have the new Laptop they have unless M gets me a new one. (my one that I started writing FanFiction on is dying slowly. After 5-6 years, I guess I can let it finally rest…. ::snickering::) This makes working while in Tucson something that IS going to happen. Since I managed to write all of AIW during that time, we can guess that more will be coming out during that time.
I am typing this all up at 1am, (not breaking my Sunday rules ladies!!!) since I cannot sleep. Allergies are bad, and I ended up sleeping most of the day die to them. But, going through my emails finally, I saw that the Friday post for the Non-Canon Awards didn’t go out. Since I didn’t make one for Monday, I figured I would write up one while checking up what happened.
I didn’t hit publish.
Oops. My bad!!! So it is up and by the time you read this, it really will be published.
Here it is:
Stormy… went to the vet on Thursday, (And we suspect this may be the reason for the insomnia, she had been cuddly needing to be soothed after they shot her up with 3 shots and a med by mouth.) And no, there is no official word on what she is, they suspect a male. I told them if so, he will be Stormin Norman. Nicknamed Stormy. Hey it works. She is growing fast. And she is hunting me right now as I type. Lol.
Connor and Murphy got a present yesterday. A wacky sprinkler thingie. And it was hilarious to watch them play with it. Right now, Murphy is playing in the living room, while Connor is sleeping by my feet. Their lives are so hard.
As for me, I watched Alice yesterday and today. Well, Alice in Wonderland yesterday and Alice was last night and finished it today. M watched the end with me, and made all sorts of insightful comments. Ugh. No need more fuel for stories in that fandom!
I plan to finish my project tomorrow as well as the interviews/reviews for the next couple of weeks. So look out for more. Enjoy the time, and there is a hint of maybe a new story being done betaed.. maybe…
Sunday I came in here and entertained the kitten. But the Monday, instead of being online, I was holed up in my bedroom trying to keep cool.
It didn’t work.
Today I thought I was being uber productive, (vs veg state I have ended up in lately.) and cleaned the kitchen. I even asked Hubby M what he wanted for dinner, only to have myself fighting a migraine an hour later. I retreated into the bedroom, and since my allergies are killing me, I took Benadryl to hopefully help. (I don’t take pain meds unless it is a last resort. I have a high pain tolerance, and it also affects my ringing in my ear that is getting worse also.)
M wakes me up and then feels bad, after he touches me, and I am burning up. he gives me IBUProfen, and then leaves the room in blessed darkness (even though he should be sleeping for work himself.) The he does something that makes everyone bless him. He goes outside and sprays off the AC. Immediately there is a difference in my room. I finally could get up, and since then, the temp has dropped 2 degrees. It was 80 in the house, (83 outside with a heat index of 93) and now it is a blessed 77 now. And still dropping.
Yes, 3rd world issues, but I already would have died long time ago in a 3rd world. I was raised a Northern Chick, and I need it to survive! I so hate the heat. And the Humidity. Can’t forget that bugger that makes my nice hair frizzy within a step outside. Seriously. Don’t need the humidity. It can go somewhere else. Like CA. They need it.
Anywho, this is all to explain how much of a wimp I am. And seriously, I am. Once Winter comes, I will be the one thrilled when the rest of Houston is complaining of the cold. I can’t wait this year to go to Tucson. We stay outside of Tucson in a town called Benson, it’s higher up. It gets colder and more chance of Snow!!!! (Yes, I told you I belong in the north!!!!)
Right now, I am going to be sitting here writing out my ideas for Sacred. I have other obligations, and since they have time limits on them, I need to get them out. I will probably do what I have done with Sacred, edit what I have, and write on them after I finish a chapter or Midnight comes.
I have an inquiry out on what is ready to go this week. If I do, you will see another email from me.
For now, please go over and read my review for My Wish by the awesome JC52185! I have an interview to put up on Friday, so be watching out for that! (And yes I made the banner, she is free to have it!)
I will also be updating the other sites tomorrow, for those that read them. I am sorry, I have falling behind on so much, but I am trying. I am off to write up stuff, then look over the chapter I have up for Clocks to edit. Hopefully without Stormy trying to help. She thinks she is, but when I have to restart my computer 3 times in the last 2 days, and reset my keyboard completely, well it aint helping. She manages to run across any keyboards that are out. Unluckily, she likes my keys the best. I guess I will be putting up the keyboard at night. But she makes up for all the bad things by being cute. Look at this pic M took last night coming to bed:
I just wanted to let you guys know what is going on. I am not ignoring anyone, I am just having health issues. Hopefully with this idea, we can hope I will be fine enough to get back to working at night again. I like being nocturnal, no one talks to me in the house, and I get crap loads done. My muse loves it also!
First off, I would like to reuse a gif. It fits how I feel right now!
Replace that we’re to I’m! Holy cow!!! I didn’t expect to win anything much less any of these!!!!!
I get the idea you guys REALLY liked All I Want. I will promise you this, if nothing else, I will write it when I am back in Tucson this winter! I am going for about the same amount of time that I did two years ago, and it inspired the first one… I am truly blown away that you guys picked it as first place!!! Over my favorites even!!! I am truly blessed!!!
And then to win second place in Otherworld, and 3rd for Romance?!?!? Thanks!!!!
Finally there is You’re!!! I get the idea!! I will be working on that as soon as I can!!!
Truly…. I did this when I read through the awards this morning:
The vacay was awesome. I spent the time with my mother in law, and we (including M) went all over Houston. She had been here on a convention for Emergency services. And she was quite amazed by our cities readiness.
And of course they had a laugh on TS Bill at the convention. I told you he was a joke.
Huge reminder, the Fairy Tales contest is ending at midnight tomorrow. Get your entries in. This means on the first, I will be busy making the banners for each entry. Once that is done, then 4Padfoot needs to set up the polls and so on. We try to get them out to you as quickly as possible.
So while I was gone, I would hit up wifi spots to reblog things. I kept seeing something that I had done good in the Fanatic Fanfics, but I didn’t look it up. As it was, trying to explain that I really feel like my muse is not me, and how I often don’t know the ending to my own stories, until it is written. And how there was all these little clues I scattered into the story without knowing and so on, well let’s just say its a good thing my Mother in Law knows me so well, or I would be in a white coat this morning.
It is really hard to explain it to someone who has no idea. M even tried to explain it. He made more sense, but he told me it was a little more out there than most would think. But his description? My subconscious is my muse… If so, the little bitch needs to behave even more!!!!
So I squealed, then tried to explain it. And gave up. She supports me 100% but doesn’t really understand. I can deal with that.
While this past week came about, I got two new Cousins, (Nephews). To be clear, I have 3 normal Nephews. As in they are my nephews because 2 are my brothers, and 1 is my sister in laws. However, because of how close the real family used to be, I was raised with my cousins being closer than cousins. So all the current babies call me Aunt Wendy. And M has a butchered name, but it is accepted by all of us. They have slowly made it into fics. I have Riley, need to add Evan and the new ones into it.
One of them was Korbin, which came first. And then came Noah. Noah was special….
About 3 years ago my Grandfather died of Alzheimer’s. That had started my year of bad luck, since Bear died, and then the following year is when my dad died as well as my mom being diagnosed with Breast Cancer. It is what made me go to Tucson for a month and half to get away from everything. And what led to AIW being written.
But my grandfather’s birthday would have been yesterday. And Noah, after much pain for mom, came into the world in the last hour possible to make it a day we still celebrate, just with joy and slight sadness for the man who had the birthday first. What a way to honor him…
I am meandering alot this day, sorry! But being on vacation means that the slight control I had over the muse, is gone. Which is good since I have alot I need to get done!
The review for this week from Non-canon Awards is the following:
It truly is an awesome story, and if you follow her on her site, you get updates one day earlier!!!
There should be more stuff to tell you, but I am completely lost if there are!!! There should be an update of a story this week. No Promises, since The betas have RL and they have to get back into gear like me!!!
Oh yeah!!!
Stormy!!! She is out and about the house. The dogs watch her every step, but she loves it. Here is a pic for you to aww over like I did when I took it.
I am officially not here. Nope, this post is your imagination…
lol!
My vacation is here, and as of Saturday, I was bored to death! Seriously. Alot of it has to do with sleep. Not much of that going on lately, between the heat and the kitten. Since she likes to sleep on me, it doesn’t help…
There is the normal review for you guys:
Then there is the reminder that the writing contest is ending in a week and a day. I am soo looking forward to reading you guys work! And making the banners for you guys. It will keep Stormy all entertained for however it takes.
As for me? I am going to do whatever I like. I think today I am going to play computer games since it is too hot in the rest of the house. We are waiting for the bonuses to get a new AC unit, that is desperately needed. Since this room houses the computer not only for me, but my mom, I have worked to make it the coolest room in the house. The AC blows in here first (not that that actually helps all that much but hey every little bit!) has the best ceiling fan, on my end there is a fan on the tower itself, and a fan on the credenza behind me. There is a 5 degree difference from the rest of the house and there is a 5 degree difference from the actual temperature in the house and the hallway, which is where the temp is at. It says it is 78 right now.. it aint…. You can feel the difference walking through the house… The AC we have is for the front of the house, but when they added the rest of the house on, they forgot to upgrade the AC unit.
So yuck. Even the dogs are like OFFICE IS OPEN!!! REPEAT.. the OFFICE is OPEN!!!! It sounds like a stampede when I open the door. They are now under my desk, be all happy and crap.
Also remember, there is a coming soon ribbon on the home page. It has been updated. I am missing one banner, and that is for All I Want’s sequel. But all the rest of the coming soons are there… It may be nothing more than a banner and a description, but it is more than what you had before!!! There is a sequel in there that the name has been shown….
There are all sorts of goodies 4Padfoot is adding to the site.
And I do have to say THANK YOU for the ladies helping out on the database… It truly is a weight off me to not worry on it. I already did an export to give to 4Padfoot, for her new site she is making… She teases me with snapshots… I cannot wait to see it completed or out where I can play with it!
Congrats to the winners of the You Want Blood Awards New Blood!!!! I am thrilled for all of you!!
I am looking forward to seeing what the results of the Fanatic Fanfiction awards. I am hoping that the people I voted for win!!!! And yet again, thanks for getting me into the final round… It truly was an honor to be there!

As for me, I didn’t get much done in writing, I did get one chapter done for HP, but I will try this weekend. I am starting on Clocks, which will be interesting. I also have demands of my betas and prereaders for more Sacred. Seems I made a monster there!
omgomgomgomgomgomgomgomgomg
Also, a heads up. Next week, everyone is off. I have family coming in to visit. So I am going to busy, and as always, if I am off, then all my betas are too. If I get a chance, I will drop a line to let you guys know I am still alive.
They voted for ME!!!!! So freaking awesome. Unbelievable. OMG!!!!!!
In addition, I live in the Houston area. Specifically, between Houston and Galveston. There is a Tropical whatever coming in. It is to be named Bill. Enough said? But basically I am in for alot of rain. Even if it hits where they think it will, lower on the coastline, we are on what is called the dirty side. Lots and lots of rain. Last night it was forcasted 10′ Now they are saying:
The current forecast calls for heavy rain from the disturbance to start moving in around 4 a.m. Tuesday into the afternoon. Wherever it makes landfall, we’ll see buckets of rainfall that will likely lead to severe street flooding in areas with 6-8 inches falling around Houston and up to 10-15 inches in areas to the west. South of Houston—near Dickinson, Santa Fe and League City—the ground is still saturated after heavy rains hit Saturday morning, dropping seven inches in parts
Let me tell you.. I am in one of those cities. And you guys heard me when I posted last time we are flooding, we just got rid of most of the water yesterday. I am so glad to be in a raised beam house, in the best drainage district in all of Galveston County. The other side of the road was the dividing line, and they had water everywhere.
If I am late tomorrow with posting the results, you know why. It will be interesting to say the least. It is NOT a hurricane. It is only a storm, but dropping alot of water on a city area already soaked. For some reason, my wishing isn’t moving this crap to CA. They need it. We don’t. Though.. If the rain wants to push all the State Birds called Mosquitoes away, I would be thrilled.
I am just giving a heads up that there is voting going on for the YOu Want Blood New Blood awards. Go over and vote for your favorite new author.
Right now, I am trying to wake up. Bad, BAD storm this morning and it finally stopped raining. When I was asked to get up and lock the doggie door, there was water in the yard standing enough to cover the paws and a ways up the dogs. Connor was soaked. The floor before the doggie door was standing puddles. Our yard was flooded, which we don’t unless it is bad. The neighbors across the street, well they are still under inches maybe a foot of water.
So glad I live in a raised beam house. For those that don’t know, that means my house sits on what looks like cinder blocks a couple feet off the ground. It is not a mobile home, but a house. The front part of my house was built after the 1912 storm in Galveston. It is also thought to keep the house cooler during the warm months with the air moving underneath. Most of the times, it is a pain in the ass, but when it floods, it is a blessing. And since it has survived many a hurricane, we are fine with it.
And then we have the fun of weather in Texas. Yesterday, with AC running all day it was 80 in the house. Today the AC is off right now, and I have turned off a fan in the office. And people wonder why I want to go back to AZ. Weather there is so much nicer!!!
So all this is to tell you, I have a try at a photoshop that someone requested, then I am going to work on Heavenly chapters. Yes, you heard it, I wrote one last night. Then I spent the rest of the time thinking of what else I need to hit up to finish this book. There will be a total of 6 books in this one, and as time goes by, the original HP series will be departed from. I already had a bunch of stuff I could cross off the list for CoS. I am hoping to get it finished or at least close to this weekend. Then Monday I will be back to work on editing.
Right now, I am going to make my cups of tea, then I am getting to work. I have laundry, then Stormy will be with me today while I work.
It truly is amazing the stuff you can find on the internet. I searched Alexander Skarsgard leprechaun and the picture above is what popped up. I think it is fitting for today. Sorry I missed posting last week, but Daylight Savings in the USA screwed me up. Losing one hour completely wrecked my week. I…
Can someone please explain to me why I am seeing more snow in March than I did in the entire months of December and January???? I should be getting ready for spring, not worrying about shoveling 8 inches of snow. The only way snow in March is acceptable is if it this is part of…
Hello lovelies. I cannot guarantee I will be back to publishing weekly, but I will try. My dear beta, kleannhouse, is in high demand trying to juggle the stories of three writers. She is amazing and she makes me laugh with all of her comments on my stories. This one especially. I started this story…
