Good afternoon/nearly evening!! I let the kids have the computer this morning while I turned myself into a ravishing redhead. I've been checking in, I just haven't had time to post!  I should, however, be in and out the rest of the evening.

"Another one bites the dust!!"

Pesky stray story thread, that is! There is at least one left, maybe two and I'm on track to have this section ready to post by Friday! 

Followed closely by the Power of Rewrite!!

Yeah, I'm getting there. Slowly, surely but I'm getting there.....

I have labored mightily on the Castle.
I'm pooped. And tomorrow is payday with all that running around to do. And Nike arrives on Saturday and I still have some stuff to get done for her visit. I'm gonna be a busy, busy girl.
We are all calling it a night. Ghost Cat Hall is offline. See ya all tomorrow. Everyone sleep well and be safe.

Well, we're back from town and the groceries and stuff are unloaded but not yet put away. I'm shifting into "home" gear -- rather than "payday" gear --since it feels like I've been running since dawn.  I'll be doing the "ping pong ball thing" -- bouncing from one job to another -- all afternoon but I'll be here too. The Castle must be written!!!

Well. It is waaayyyy later!  The next batch of Castle posts is up. Didn't get much cleaning down after we got back from dinner. Bad, BAD Penth! Oh well, I'll clean while Nike uses the computer and the two of us are gabbing!
I'm bushed and I'm going to call it a night. Everyone sleep well and be safe!

Glad to know Nike got there ok!


*waving madly at Nike*   


I will likely be in chat at some time while you are there, so maybe you and Penth can come chat with me one day!

I have been slacking here today...have to get the kiddo some white t-shirts for her rotc uniform, and get some stuff for the RoadMage, as well as tinker with some computer stuff.

I finally remembered what I was doing with mIRC the other day, so I reconfigured my setup so I can browse IRC servers while holding the Valcaria room open, so I have been playing with that some.

OH! My new phone came in, and some of the accessories to go with! So I now have a Treo 650 and the gear for GPS in the car! 
Maybe I will go for a spin to someplace random! It has the TomTom software, so that's pretty cool.

I haven't posted about DragonCon either, but I still don't know what to say about it, since we didn't really SEE anything easily describable. I had a good time people-watching and stuff, but that is hard to really capture in text, LOL. We didn't go to any panels, concerts, contests, or the masquerade or parade. Makes it sound dull, but it wasn't!

Hmmm...what else.....

RoadMage is now a knitter! Yay! She wanted to learn, but had trouble with over controlling the yarn and needles, making the stitches way too tight for easy knitting. Well, I spent some time working with her on that, and she now has TWO projects going, a cotton washcloth, and her SECOND scarf! 
So we are watching needles and yarn in eBay, and having fun with it!

The baby cat is fitting in to the family well, although the boys are still a bit annoyed with her mad bouncing around! She's grown quite a bit, and is now about three pounds, more or less, about four times bigger than when she came to us. Considering the boys are both over ten pounds each, she's still a tiny thing in comparison! No more worms, thank goodness, and none of the babies got an upset tummy from the meds either!

Well, I have the kiddo working in the yard today. It's part of her "penance" for losing the phone at Dragon, and her low midterm grades. She does feel bad about losing the phone, but the point is to be more responsible, or suffer consequences, the same with her grades. She still has trouble both in thinking ahead, and being aware of herself and her surroundings all the time. Well, we all had to learn how to do it too, she just seems to have trouble keeping her focus---blame the ADD. The rotc does seem to be helping, as the discipline always rubs off some to other things. And yet another new boyfriend is in the offing....at least she didn't go back to her ex, who dumped her on her birthday last year! It seems most of the boys she is hanging out with this year are saving themselves for marriage, so she has a better class of peer group influencing her this year. The new boyfriend is a good student too....A's and B's, skipped a grade a few years ago, etc.  *sigh*  All part of high school. LOL

Well, I guess that's it for now!

I've been looking at the two Castle repost sections that come next and since I'm getting a germ of an idea about the "monster hunt" that I left for later, I think I'll work on that and get it posted before I tackle those next sections.

IN THIS CORNER...... Daemon FarWalker, the Keyholder Penthesilea, MoonCat and SpiritFire, about a dozen werewolves and assorted gremlins with high tech arms. And in this corner........ it's a surprise...... 

We're about ready to leave. This is where we are headed.

Everyone have fun today and I'll see you this evening!

My "evil plan" is shaping up nicely. I still have to sort out the particulars, decide on the "body count", work out the details and the big finish but it will tie up a lot of annoying loose ends.



I love being a "Creation Goddess!" 

Hmmm, working craploads of overtime...

Got promoted to Corporal...

All in all, it's been rather sucky actually.  I hate working because other people don't want to work.  I don't mind if I'm offered and accept.  But being required sucks.

I've been going over plans for the "monster hunt." I've got a pretty good idea of what the monster(s) is/are going to be. There are still some details to work out and I probably won't be working on it regularly until next week.
I'm going to call it a night. I have no idea what we will be doing tomorrow but we are likely to be on the run!    So everyone sleep well, have a good day and be safe. That's an order.....

We did go to the Scottish Rite Cathedral. It was beautiful as always. We didn't go to the War Memorial because it was raining pretty hard by that time and while none of us were likely to melt in the rain, we decided to forgo it today.
