This day always does weird things to me (for me?). I've spent parts of the morning in tears--just random things will set me off and I'll be a weeping mess until I can force myself to stop--the flag flying half-mast at the Whataburger, for example, or hearing that A&M is putting out 8,000 American Flags around campus, both brought me to tears this ( Read more... )

Now I think Ty's got strep--he's running a fever and complaining of a tummy ache and a sore throat. *headdesk* Guess we'll take him to the doctor tomorrow. Whee. (Can you sense the excitement???) I think I'm going to ask what they think about Maggie--they share a room, so she's definitely been exposed. I'll be surprised if she doesn't get it, too, ( Read more... )

First of all, the Aggies? Actually won a football game. Against New Mexico State, but still. We'll have at least one win on the record this season. Y'all have no idea how hard this losing crap is--I got to A&M when the Ags just started winning, after a LONG series of losing seasons. So I was used to winning (at least most of the time). Now I know ( Read more... )

*facepalm* How could I have forgotten one of the most important events of the weekend???

As of Saturday, BOTH Maggie and Tyler are going to bed in underwear and not pull-ups, and they've woken up dry so far! This is like a $40/month pay raise, y'all. It's way exciting!

I sort-of got in trouble for the other tech not calling tech support on Friday. ( Read more... )

Seriously, y'all, I'll stop spamming you. Sometime.

Ahem.

hpgw_otp is hosting The Passing of Time Challenge in honor of Harry and Ginny's birthdays. They're asking for art or  a short (500-2000) word fic or based on one of the prompts, which are all time-related, with a deadline of August 11th. It looks like fun. All of my H/G-writin/drawing friends should ( Read more... )

I could deal with another day off. Or a bunch of days off. I'd be okay with that. (Won't be getting them, though...)

So, for those of you who are wondering what I did today, here you go. (The rest of y'all can feel free to skip right on by):

So, a long time ago, I asked for prompts. And I wrote drabble-type things for most of them. And then promptly forgot to post them. *headdesk* But I found them on my hard drive tonight. Better late than never, right??? (These'll make me feel better about the fact that my hg_silverlining fic is being entirely uncooperative. I've started it three ( Read more... )

Severe thunderstorm warning with hail (baseball size in places) AND a tornado in town. I think it's south of me, although it's raining like a big dog, and the weather guy says they're having 60mph winds, and they're really close to us. Luke is with friends and is really close to where the really nasty weather is. And of course, Will is gone. Crap ( Read more... )

Heh. I was highly amused today, just in general (maybe because I was in such a pissy mood yesterday???)
( What's so funny? )

This is a lovely interview of Matt Lewis where he talks about his role as Neville. I loved reading it because it seems that Matt really gets Neville, you know? Like he says he wishes he'd gotten to do the St. Mungo's scene in OotP, because it was such a pivotal scene for Neville. (There aren't any spoilers for HBP in the article, btw--he just talks ( Read more... )
