Like I've said, if I didn't look so much like my great grandmother and my grandmother I'd swear I was adopted or something... I'm THAT different from the rest of my family.... Roll Eyes

Mom thought that I looked like her mother in law but looking at her senior picture from her high school year book and my picture at the same age AND Moonie, there is no doubt that we're three generations of the same bloodline.

And on that note, I'm heading out.
Everyone sleep well and be safe. Smiley Smiley

I see you've been playing around D! The Zodiac Banner looks great on the Purple Noir, which is what I use. Cheesy Freaking Awesome!!! Cheesy

It's a "holiday" here today due to Canada Day falling on a Sunday so almost everything is closed today, except for corner stores and of course, GAS STATIONS... Roll Eyes Hubby works tonight so it'll be just me and Son this evening.

Morning!

I'm loving it too. I'm using the O_opacity template and so far, I'm finding it easier on my eyes than BlackNoir which was the easiest for me to read of the choices we had.

So far, the day is starting off good!

I was using Purple Noir, and noticed the change pretty much right away... I didn't see the new banner on the Default when I checked in this morning, I was NOT awake at that moment! LOL

I'm using O_opacity too, so pretty and yes, easy on the eyes for me too! Cheesy

I have the folder that contains NR/#7's files in it open on the desktop/taskbar... Debating on what to edit next. I did a LOT of editing over the last while and I'm also debating on how to proceed in the Main Manuscript file and where I left off in the "Second Half" first draft file.

I DO want that gap between where I left off in Chapter 14 and the MBEWCA file so I can finally do a TONNE of splicing!!

I'm thinking I may attack the story either tomorrow night after Masterchef or on Wednesday after the guys crash... I'm starting to get the urge to chomp at the monitor again!!!!  Smiley

Then it is time to get back to work! I printed out another three chapters of Book One yesterday and "hopefully" I will get some more printed today and the lot copied. The copier is being reasonably cooperative so that part of the job is going reasonably fast. Once I have the manuscript copied, I'll get the rest of the package for DAW together.

I still have a ways to go before my story is ready to send off, let alone be printed out! LOL I'm still thinking along the lines of my MIL for a local "first draft" editor... I talked it over with Hubby and he thinks it's a good idea. MIL is not only highly intelligent, she's also very good at vocabulary, grammar, etc. so she is the first person I still talk to that comes to mind for that kind of thing. Cheesy

Fingers crossed on DAW accepting it Penth!

We did, everything's fine. It took a while for the storm to pass overhead, it was a slow moving one.

We're supposed to get more on and off for the rest of the day so I'm not sure how much I'll be around. I've got a CSI book on standby just in case things go crazy again. I don't want the computer on if there's a storm happening, due to what happened when the video card in this fried...

Better safe than sorry!! Tongue

Danger Princess has been unusually lovey today. Normally, her sister is the cuddle glutton but today DP was following me around looking for cuddling.

I know it... GRR... NOT HAPPY!! It seems that the instant I get doing something big online, BAM, we get a thunder-bumper overhead!!  Smiley

I would NOT be surprised if we get more and if we get too many more of them, I'll go offline for the day cause my temper is getting to a boiling point.......................... Smiley

Gotcha Penth and Thanks...  Smiley I hope that's it for the day because Son's taking meltdowns each time I shut the computer down... Roll Eyes He thinks if the computer is off, so's the power, even thought I've been showing him the lights CAN be turned ON and the fans are running full tilt. KIDS. Roll Eyes

He'll "get" it eventually. It just might take more repetitions than it would for a "standard issue" kid.

Yeah, I know... I just don't like seeing him so upset that's all. Sad

Our one neighbor is making a lot of "thumps" in the yard and I keep thinking I hear thunder................ JOY OH BLISS......... Roll Eyes So far nothing yet in the western sky (that's the direction things are coming from) but I'll be watching it every now and then, my computer room faces east so I have to get up and go look out the kitchen window that's above the sink....

I have a sliding glass patio door a few feet away from where I'm sitting and the curtain is pulled back so I can see into the yard. hehe Last night I was in the bedroom with the Queen and the Prince and we were hearing odd noises. The furpersons were almost at "RED ALERT" when I finally got Skywise's attention [he was deep in research] and he went outside to investigate.
A very young raccoon was climbing up the ladder that Skywise had leaning again the house just outside our bedroom window. It scrambled up onto the roof and Skywise came back inside so it would come down once everything was quiet and dark. He said it was about half the size of one of the kits so it is probably one of this year's litter. This morning, since we were sure our little visitor was off the roof, Skywise took the ladder down. If the little beast wants back on the roof, it will have to climb the evergreen like the cats do!

Raccoons are VERY intelligent and resourceful little buggers, aren't they? Cheesy

He must have been SO CUTE if he was that small! I love raccoons I just don't like how destructive they can be sometimes... Roll Eyes

I has a fat kitty laying on the stairs behind me, she's been doing that most of the last few days. NO dive bombing, just rolling and flirting with the occasional "adoring" look and lots of purrs...
