Sigh

Really don't wish to be at work today.  My mouth doesn't want to talk, my stomach is hurting, and I just... hate Mondays, lol, even when they're on Sunday.

Saw A-team with brother and his fiance last night.  It was just as good the second time, lol.  Still cheesy and silly and full of the crack that made it such a fun series.  Could have done without the forced romance, though.  That had me rolling my eyes and just wishing for those parts to be done with already.  I'm an incurable romantic, but it seems that most movies are just sex, sex, sex, and the women usually have me wanting to bash my head in.  I'm sorry, but you don't need to be a bitch to be strong and powerful.  If you switched genders, half the time what is supposed to come off as perky and smart is just downright vicious and sexist.  It drives me nuts. 

OK, mini rant over, sorry. 

Mom is doing some landscaping, and it has become a family affair to move rocks around and help plant flowers.  Now the weather is mostly cooperating we're trying to get it all done before it begins to get hot.

I'm working on a Sherlock Holmes story now.  It feels so good to be writing again, even if I still doubt the quality of it.  I'm trying to write at least 3 or 4 pages a day, and keep reminding myself that I can go back and edit and add and change things.  So far, I'm pretty happy with the results, and hope I can do the idea justice.  

Not really much else going on.  I got my movie and book, and loved Without a Clue.  It was cracky and silly and fun, and just a good laugh. 

What are you all planning for the rest of your weekend?

Mom, Pippin, and I just came back from the park, and I'm starving. Need to find some elevenses... lunch... pre-dinner... something.

*hugs*

Am I gonna have to slap you? **grin** Your Sherlock Holmes idea is BRILLIANT and having been priveleged enough to read what you have so far---you needn't have any worries about the quality!

Remember, get the story down first, then worry about adding and editing and beta stuff! You're doing fine!!!

I've been goofing off for most of what is left of my weekend. I was so done in from fighting the Dell (which now, miraculously after another Granada chat is long into history, is behaving itself again. Grrrrrr.) I ended up going back to bed today after getting up at a normal hour! Slept until 3!
Sheesh!!!

hang in there, sorry about the stomach and the work schedule! ((Hugs you hard!))

How wonderful that you're writing again (even if it's in a fandom I know nothing about, LOL)

Thanks, hon! It's wonderful to be writing again, and I'm hoping it will stir my LoTR creative juices.
