If you are so inclined, I would appreciate your checking out my story (and the others so you can vote knowledgeably!) that's been nominated for another Stargate SG1 fiction award. This is the same one that won an Isis Award...and is again in an very obscure category of "other."

I'll admit I'm not graceful, but I hit a new low in clumsiness yesterday afternoon. Actually, what I hit was my son's side view mirror with my arm.

In keeping with his special talent to not be around when his car needs gas (and the van, my personal limo, is gone so I can't drive it instead) I had to fill it. When I got out, I somehow turned around ( Read more... )

There I was, downloading my new opera CD into the laptop and....the blue screen of death. Something is seriously wrong with it- mostly likely the hard drive is shot, and I'm waiting for the tech to call so I can get it fixed. Meanwhile, I'm going through withdrawal.

It has been my custom to sit on my bed and write in the evenings while leaving the ( Read more... )

Chapter 2 is up at

I'm getting more ideas about where to go with the story, so there's hope it might actually get finished! (-:

It needs a romance... or two, me thinks.

I'm nearly 50....isn't it time to be free of this monthly business? PMS...I'm nagging the kids, fussing because my dear hubby ate all of the Korean pears and I didn't get a single bite of them, and generally grousing about everything. I'm not fit to live with.

I had to go over the next chapter in #1 son's Chemistry book so I can teach it to him ( Read more... )

I'm rather hesitant to even mention this, but will anyway. Someone nominated an Stargate 1 story of mine for an Isis Award. These are categories off the beaten path of SG stories- secondary characters or different pairings.

My story, The Winter of General Hammond's Heart, is obviously about General George Hammond and an 'other character' not found ( Read more... )

Well, I had every intention of getting back into writing and my friends here at LJ....but life has a way of interfering with fantasy, doesn't it??? Things are fine, just too busy. Had 3 weeks back home in the states to see family, which was wonderful. It even got cold for a few days and we saw frost!

About writing- I have read through all my PD, ( Read more... )

Well, I feel like I've been gone for so long from LJ! Nothing major happening, just Real Life.

Hubby took a week's leave and we played tourist. Our eldest spawn drove us around the entire time and I sat in the back of the van and pretending to be calm and read my Anne Perry mystery (I fooled no one. Perhaps it was my constant commenting and dire ( Read more... )

My dear hubby is a punker/reggae-mon at heart, so last night he got us tickets to the big reggae/island music bash the local radio station put on down at the Shell Amphitheater. I'm trying to get out more (I need to get my medicine  dose increased!!), so  tagged along.

Took my book about Miss Julia (an older southern widow who discovers her late ( Read more... )

After being gone nearly 5 months, my dearest hubby is on his way home!

No, he's not been in prison (LOL), but is in the military. For the second time in 2 years, the boys and I will be impatiently awaiting his call from the airport. This year, however, my eldest spawn will be driving.

For hubby, the trip home with #1 son at the wheel should be as ( Read more... )
