No need to duck on my account, VE. I would have been surprised if the Canadian team hadn't won the hockey gold.

Thanks... I was ducking because I have a lot of American friends who were rooting for the home team so to speak.

Women's ice hockey is really the only Olympic sport I care about and I'm proud of our ladies for winning gold for the fourth time in a row.

And I'd better shut up about it, Bestie is on the verge of shooting me now..... Smiley Personal profile in FB....

Oh the heck with it...

OH CANADA.....

I think my knees are turning into "weather predictors." Storms are expected and they're aching. Aspirin has been taken....

*sigh* I need to get prone for a bit and let the aspirin work. If I'm not back before you leave, VE, have a nice night and I'll see you tomorrow.

Yeah, I'm going to toddle offline and relax for a bit. I finally got the potato wedges into the oven and my CTS is going nuts.

Have a great night everyone. I'll be back for a bit in the morning but offline writing most of the daytime if there's school.

Nite, hon.

There's a Tornado Watch in effect until 10 pm tonight. It doesn't include this county but does include the ones directly west of us. Oh happy day.

YIKES. Shocked Holy crap Penth, isn't it a tad early to be having tornadoes in your area????? Glad to know y'all are SAFE!!!

I'm here for a couple of hours then offline trying to write and getting ready for the live music this evening if the weather cooperates. I NEED a break from everything and I just need an hour or so where I can sit and relax and listen to some awesome music by some of our talented musicians! *SIGH*

Gas prices went up, which means Hubby will be getting the brunt of ticked off people. He doesn't have a darn thing to do with what the prices are, it's the regulation committee that chooses if prices go up or down so people should STOP screaming at him about it. *SIGH*

On that note, it's time to get offline and see if I can get moving in one of the WIPs... After I do a run through of ONE chapter of No Regrets to highlight a lot of the passive, wordy and other areas that need work!

See y'all in a few hours. I'm only going to be back for a couple of hours after the bus comes this afternoon, LIVE MUSIC TONIGHT and the guys are supposed to be on pretty much right away... CAN'T WAIT!!!!!!!!!! Cheesy

Morning.

Yeah, VE, it is early for tornadoes. Normally we don't have the temperature extremes that produce them this early in the year. Fortunately, all we got were straight line winds which are bad enough! I have tea and now I'm going to get caught up.

That's what I thought Penth. It seemed too early in the year for this kind of thing. *SIGH*

Back. Not as productive as I would have liked, but I STILL managed to get a little added to Eleven, in a file that's going to be spliced in very soon!  Smiley

I'm just settling in to work. Skywise needed to do some stuff so I let him have the comp while I worked on "non-writing" things to settle my nerves. The wind picked up again at sunrise and has been blowing/gusting ever since.

hehehe Someone in a position to do so ordered Our Heroine not to make her sunrise offering of song to Apollo. She went on to say that she wasn't afraid of Apollo.

She changed her mind!  Smiley

Iz happy! My subscription to Writer's Digest has started! I got the issue that I already had today and the new one and it has a couple of things I'll be reading soon, if not today then over the weekend.

I'm now wondering if a 20,000 word short story about Our Hero is in order.... Smiley I'm thinking of a pivotal incident that could make a short story for later inclusion in his "biography." More.. Smiley

Might need to start another word document......

I'm leaving in about 45 minutes or sooner so I'm going to get off my tush and get ready to go.

LIVE MUSIC... WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOT!!  Smiley

I'll get some stills up tomorrow afternoon if I can get any decent ones... Videos have to wait until I get my monthly refill in a few days.

Have a great night everyone, see y'all sometime later tomorrow morning. Son has a doc's appointment first thing so I probably won't be on until after we're home from that.

Night all! Cheesy

Smiley

Skywise is home and I'm heading out. I didn't get much more writing done. Brain and eyes were not inclined to work but I did get a little editing and tweaking done so there's that.

Anyway, everyone sleep well and be safe. Smiley Smiley

Here!  Smiley We didn't get out of the doc's office in time for Hubby to run us home before he had to go to work... So Son and I have to leave around 4:30 or so to go get Hubby.  Smiley

Last night was AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!! All of the bands were GREAT and I HAD SO MUCH FUN!!!!!  Smiley The lineup was Dirt Stache, Flesh Cauldron, Whom Gods Destroy and Vicious.... It was a range from classic/melodic metal (WGD) to hard rock/glam metal (Vicious) and death metal (Flesh Cauldron). Each band had their own unique energy and feel, and everyone did a great job during their set!

The only downside to the evening was two drunken dingbats. They did NOT follow etiquette for a live show in a tiny venue AT ALL and I wasn't the only one ready to clock them either. They only reason why they were not kicked out is because they knew the bartender. I figure if it had been anywhere else, those two would have been GONE LONG before the first band (Dirt Stache) was finished their set. Moshing in the designated area is one thing, getting in the band members' personal space WHILE THEY ARE PLAYING is another thing.

And a strange male touching me is bad enough if he's sober, when one puts their arm around me and they've been drinking, they'd better consider themselves lucky to walk away with ALL of their limbs.... CREEPS.  Smiley

I have a couple of photos of WGD up on my FB author's page if anyone wants to see them.

Here for a couple of hours and then I'll be off. I have a LOT to catch up on... YIKES.  Smiley
