warm and cozy

God bless the portable heater thingie industry as I would be a frozen popsicle without them.  Had a good night, finally finished part 4 of my new series and now I seriously need to work on my original some.  Though I have at least two fic ideas swimming through my head right now.  And I am in anguish because I had the beginnings of a Nora and Andi confrontation written on a sheet of yellow legal pad and it seems to have been lost.  That was going to at least be a short about something.  Ugh......help.

Anyhoo, got errands that I have to do today.  It sucks cuz it is cold outside and drizzly, not a good combination.  But when you need to do things you do them.  And what I need to do right now is post part 4 of this story.  I think if I speed write I can do Leo/Devlin and my original today.  I have all day.  I also want to really watch some West Wing today because I am starting to forget things that have been seared in my brain for the past eight years.  West Wing amnesia is not at all good.

So, here is part four and I hope some people can read it and give me feedback.  I have ideas going all the way up to the end of season one for this coupling.  Still, I do want to work on some other couplings soon but I have no hope for real time until the four day Thanksgiving weekend.  Oh well, I squeeze what I can until then.  Yay for Saturdays!!!!

random bouts of randomness

How is this for crazy....How the Grinch Stole Christmas is on!  Its not even Thanksgiving and they are already playing Christmas stuff.  Dont get me wrong, cuz I'm watching it.  It's one of my favorites and I will probably see it about 22 times before Boxing Day.  Absolute insanity.

The Wizard of Oz is coming on again tonight and while I wont be watching it in its entirety, I plan to watch Judy Garland sing Somewhere Over the Rainbow.  I love it.

I bought sweaters today *yay* but no socks.  I saw some totally cool peacoats in Old Navy and I do need a new one but they didnt ahve my size.  Curses!!!  I think I will go to their website tonight and look.  Sometimes when I shop a lot at one store I tend to forget they have websites.  I'm a bit too busty and chunky for their skinny girl clothes but I love their men's tee shirts, sweaters, and hoodies.  On the website they also have a pretty extensive plus-size section, though I hate that term.  We bigger ladies gotta come up with something sexier.

I avoided Suncoast like the plague today because I know I would have left with some movies.  I am a major film buff but hardly have time to watch the ones I do own.....now is not the time to add others to the fold.  Maybe for Christmas.

Wrote this fic drabble while staring at my poster this evening.  Have actually had it in one form or another in my head since the day I saw the poster in the store but it finally came to fruition today.  Check it out.  People who read my fic will know immediately what's happening.  If you dont read my fic I hope anyone who reads it likes it.

 Will finally have gas tomorrow, they are saying somewhere between 12 and 4.  I gotta tell you, it hasnt been horrendous, though I dont recommend it with the weather turning really cold.  But this heater I have in my room keeps it nice and cozy.  Even warmer than the heat would since my radiator is older than Methusulah and the heat always comes out with serious reluctance.  I cant wait to take a hot shower and put some hotdogs on the stove.

Downtown with the little tomorrow for the First Lady display at the Constitution Center.  Think I am going to take her to see the Bee Movie next week.  I have never thought Jerry Seinfeld was the funniest stand up comedian but I have a special place in my heart for certain epsiodes of his show and his voice just makes me laugh.

I smoked too much today.  When I have free Saturdays where I spend the day writing I have what I call Edward R. Murrow afternoons, where there are just cigarettes everywhere.  It gets smoky in here like I was in a bar circa 1955.  I think I want to make a new Year's Resolution to quit.  I have been stickign to my New Year's Resolution from 3 years ago of just a half a pack a day so maybe it is time for me to push it more.  I hate New Year's Resolutions.
