Just a quickie

I've had a busy couple of days.... I'm just going to cherry-pick the highlights as I can't be arsed posting a mega-entry.

Have finally stopped feeling insanely jealous of my pregnant friend. Saw her on Sunday, she's got such a gorgeous bump, and surprised myself by feeling really excited and happy for her.

Had an early-birthday party at the in-laws. I've been deluged in pressies, even from extended members of the family that I'd never met. I love them all to bits :D Also, FIL made all my favourites!

Met up with some folks from Australia who I've been talking to online since about '97. Neither were axe-murderers and I had a fun day. Although, there was a bit too much walking for my tastes!

Nipped into Murder One and picked up three import books that I've been trying to get hold of for ages. Trashy, comforting, crime books; just what the doctor ordered!

Had dinner with Dave at our favourite restaurant. They have the most incredible venison there!

Got another review for Shiner :D Not convinced that all the reviewers "got" what I was attempting to convey, but hopefully the sequel will resolve that. Most (sensible) folks got it though. Yay!

Welt is up to 1500 words again after I stripped out about 200 useless words. It feels much tighter and better paced now. As I've fucked my poor knee, I'll lie in bed tomorrow (well, today, now) and finish it off.

Night y'all!

I nipped over to the reviews for Shiner to see who wasn't "getting" it, and my eyes bulged out of my skull. "wow! That's cool beans" ?!? What is that? The review's author at least has her username picked out right. Can't get more fucking accurate than "bootybrains"!

You know, when you say "pressies," it seems perfectly fine, but whenever people from California say it, I want to claw my own eyes out. Just wanted to say.

Go Welt!

I'm glad you had such a nice weekend, Ang. I can think of few who deserve it more! I saw that particular review for 'Shiner', and you know, sometimes the mind really does just boggle.

My back is feeling sympathy pains for your knee.
Hope you had a pain free day! :D

And will phone you asap :)

Gald to hear that David's family make up for the lack of sympathy from you own--they do sound very nice people.

Can't wait to read the Shiner sequel. :D
