Hi friends,

I'm sure you are all aware that dear amamama's birthday is January 27?

I'm inviting each of you to accompany us on a very special shopping spree in which we each shop for and buy amamama a special birthday present of our choice ( Read more... )

I have the "worst head cold ever". I can't write. I can't critique. I can't even edit my own stuff, which I usually love to do. And the poor dog keeps looking at me with those soulful eyes, begging for a walk, but the thought of walking him makes my head want to explode. So I guess I'll post on LJ. *grins then sneezes ( Read more... )

Let me preface this entry by saying I almost NEVER shop for myself. I don't even like to shop, and I wear very little jewelry - usually only small silver hoop earrings and my wedding ring. However ( Read more... )

peverell lured me into a secret Santa fic exchange by using a character of hers that I have an...ah...interest in. He invited me as only he could. *sigh* Once she realized I was powerless to resist, even though I'm stretched for time currently, I think she felt a bit guilty for using her special technique of persuasion. So she apologized by writing the ( Read more... )

I'd like to apologize to my FLIST for disappearing from my Thanksgiving party on Friday. It's been a very busy personal couple of days and I'm trying to catch up on everything. I must thank everyone who participated and assure you that I've read the entire party and enjoyed every minute of it. You all are too much!

Thank you Grandma Kate for ( Read more... )

Setting: A modest beach house on a bluff overlooking a sandy beach. The house has a patio and a grassy area before the bluff begins, and there is a long, rickety staircase leading down to the sand. The kitchen is rustic and warm and opens to a family room with big picture windows looking out onto the ocean. The table is set for a Thanksgiving ( Read more... )

Alexandros is my main character's love interest in my Sparta story. He's a newly trained Spartan soldier, and in the part I'm writing now, he's going off to his first battle. This pic (from the movie 300 of course) captures my vision of him perfectly. I'm sure I don't have to point out to you two particular areas - one on his right arm and one on ( Read more... )

Just wanted to check if anyone still planned on submitting (how formal that sounds!) a conclusion to the Charlie/girlyswot "looks like a breakup" story. If not, we'll head into the voting phase just as soon as I can drag tdu away from her bottle and get her to oversee the ballot. As I said in my first post, one winner will be chosen by Ros as the ( Read more... )

I finally wrote that return payment drabble for Ken. After the wonderful flangst one he wrote for me and the Cho Chang one which I loved, this offering is not much, but here it is. And a question for Mary - Can you believe I wrote a drabble about rain that's not angsty? :)

I happen to be of the opinion that as much as girlyswot denies liking flangst, and as much as she states she loves fluff, she actually is a closet flangst lover. I mean why else would she write her own scenarios in our on-line parties where she puts her foot in her mouth as Molly Weasley comes up behind her, leading to a heart to heart with Charlie? Or ( Read more... )
