Hello!

Hi, all!

I'm still alive.  I haven't really been doing anything much lately except work and sleep and work.  The new schedule is still throwing me off. I like being able to sleep in, but getting off at 10 makes it hard to get to sleep much before midnight, and I find myself sleeping until abut 10.  I'm trying to get my body used to going to be at midnight, getting up at 9, and then going for a long walk.   I still want to lose 30 pounds before I go to England, so hopefully I can keep this up. I have to keep watching my diet, too.  Not eating out, which I can't really afford anyway, and eating healthy.

In other news, OMG, I'm almost finished with my giant Holmes story!  It's a little over 80000 words now, and will probably end up abou 85000.  Umm.  Would anyone like to beta it for me?  It goes from PG-13 to NC-17, which is a first for me, but I don't think it's too bad.  Or does anyone know where I can find a beta? I figure once I get it finished and have someone do  a look over I can start posting.  Yay!

Also, on the Sherlock front, I got a new jacket!  Or, well, actually, I don't have it yet, I put it on layaway, but I'll have it next payday!  It's really warm, and so pretty!  It's a deep gray wool, almost military.  I'll have to take a picture when I get it and show you all my new coat! Really, I haven't had a new coat in, goodness, years. I love my military trench coat, but it doesn't fit me very well now that I've gained weight.  I was 40 pounds lighter when I first got it, after all.  But I call this new one my Sherlock coat because it kind of looks like the coat Benedict Cumberbatch wore in the new Sherlock series.  Heee.  I'm such a geek!  

Not much else going on, really.  In a sudden urge to be productive I've gone back and started tagging my journal, because I'm horrible and didn't tag ANYTHNG!  So that's being fixed.  It's been kind of weird, reading all my old posts.  I've been posting since 2004, so there's been a lot of stuff to tag!  I'm in 2009 now, though, so almost done! 

OK, I hope everyone is doing all right.  Have a great weekend, everyone! 

(((HUGS)))

Yay!!!

The giant Sherlock Holmes story is finished!  I need to go back and edit the hell out of it and touch up the last bit, but the most of it is finished!  I found a beta, and just have to get in contact with her. As soon as I start beta-ing it I'll start posting.  OMG, it's  huge!  As it stand right now it's just over 85,000 words and 200 pages.  It will probably be a tiny bit longer when I get to fixing it up.  Whew!  I can't wait to start posting.  

I can't tell you how wonderful it feels to be writing again, and honestly, I think this is some of my best work.  I hope you guys will read it, if just because I think it's a pretty good story, lol.  

In other news, I saw Secretariat today.  I had no clue about the horse or anything, so I was holding my breath during the last race and cheered when he won.  Wow!  What an amazing tale!  

I think I'm off to bed now.  Have a good weekend everyone!
