Didn't mark my tenth Yuletide by defaulting
So my yuletide fic clocks in at about 9,000 words, and I can't really pretend I held myself to the "It only has to be 1,000 words, girl" thing. On the other hand, I haven't put my hand up for any pinch hits. So I kind of kept my resolution ( Read more... ) -
Hunger Games doll fail (plus more bjd)
The Hunger Games Tonner dolls are out, and after all that anticipation, I'm horribly disappointed. At $180 rather than Barbie Katniss at $30, Tonner Katniss is bigger and has more expensive detailing (e.g. metal mockingjay pin), but she isn't as attractive or as Katniss looking as the Barbie. Gale is just utterly horrendous. Peeta is probably the ( Read more... ) -

All right, childish fangirl moment: I am really, really glad Glee didn't do Fantastic Baby properly.

Life and stuff like that
So I'm doing okay. Meaning: I sleep. Today I got out of bed at 12.30. I will probably have an afternoon nap in a couple of hours. After a lifetime of insomnia, my body is obviously saying "sleep for the baby". All those things I was totally going to do on maternity leave? Hahaha. I really do need to get kick started on my yuletide assignment, though, it's ( Read more... ) -

She doesn't have a face yet, and I'm glad I didn't buy her eyes yet as she's wearing the recommended size and they are way too big, and I don't have her own stuff for her yet... but meet Momoko.

Dorks dorks dorks
I don't think I've mentioned that romana03 and I have headed into complete dorkiness by actually getting into AD&D. Someone from her work invited us a few weeks back. I think it's actually first edition, too. I don't know, the books look ancient and there is no stuff like the twins play with like models and little hexagonal maps and things. My contribution ( Read more... ) -
Yuletide!
LOVE my yuletide assignment.
In the end, after several billion changes to my signup and a lot of decision anxiety, I was really conservative and left myself with only five offers - all things I a) had never written before, in order to have at least a little challenge but b) felt confident with and c) would be delighted to write. But you can't really ( Read more... ) -
Update
Signed off work for a week (unpaid leave) with a letter from the obstetrician suggesting taking maternity leave at 28 weeks. Kind of disastrous financially, especially since we don't qualify for Centrelink help yet as romana03 hasn't lived here long enough, but it's not like we won't have to get used to being one income soon enough anyway. We have savings ( Read more... )
