Wow, I just finished watching the new Star Trek movie. I thought it was great, although I got a little tired of having to keep explaining to my 10 year old son what was going on because he couldn't be bothered to pay attention. Urgh! I'm not sure why he was even watching it because he insisted he had no desire to see it when I told him what I'd ( Read more... )

With money being so tight these days, I've rediscovered my local library for my reading needs. I love, and I do mean love, bookstores, but right now books are a luxury. :( Usually, if I want to read something, then I want to reread it multiple times, so it's just more convenient if I buy but right now that's not happening very often.

Anyway, I just ( Read more... )

I can't believe it has been so long since my last entry. Things seem to be moving smoothly on the home refinancing front so hopefully before October I will have a lower payment which will help out a lot. The only advantage to making so little money right now is that my state health insurance payment went down to reflect my lower income. I find that ( Read more... )

Good news! The thing that caused the breast center to call me in for additional mammograms and an ultrasound turned out to be a lymph node that showed up more clearly than it typically would on most people. The radiologist who viewed my mammograms yesterday and also performed one of my ultrasounds said everything looked normal, and that the lymph ( Read more... )

I have to admit I'm a little stressed out. After my hysterectomy I've been cancer free for almost a year and a half. Since my fortieth birthday was a few weeks ago, and I have a history of breast cancer on both sides of my family, my oncologist sent me for my first mammogram last Monday. I wasn't too worried since I'm pretty good at remembering to ( Read more... )

I can't believe how long it's been since my last update.

Like the subject line states, I've started my first snarry fanfic. Actually, it's my first attempt at Harry Potter fandom, but that's besides the point. I'm driving myself a little batty over the whole thing because this story just kind of popped into my head demanding to be written, and yet I ( Read more... )

My youngest nephew celebrated his 2nd birthday today.  I felt so bad; things have been so crazy lately that I totally forgot about buying him a birthday present until 11:00 last night!  Luckily, I didn't start work until 10:00 this morning, so I had a chance to stop at Walmart and get him a couple things.  He loves to play my piano so I got him a ( Read more... )

I've been thinking about my story The Knight who Sees a lot lately.  I've been blocked since July because the characters and story ended up developing differently than I originally intended.  Not that I don't like what I've done so far, it was just different than I expected.  About a week ago, I finally had a breakthrough and I'm pretty sure I know ( Read more... )
