Hi ladies! I am not so hot today- just beyond exhausted. The littlest exhertion leaves me feeling almost faint. D had to go to work, and Parker is so cranky, I think he is tired of being cooped up in the house, poor guy. Val is going to watch him for an hour while I go to the store to get my supplies for the pie I am making for Turkey day.

Question for the cooks (both of you lol), my pie has a crumble top that includes pecans, but my sister's MIL had nut allergies. Can I just take those out?

How are you guys?!!? I hope you have a wonderful Thanksgiving!

bah! it just ate my entry. and i am wearing glasses so I cannot see a thing. arg.

I also go thru my profile, i don't like going into the forums, too many scary people.

Daizy- i thought it was crazy too. I mean, there is a reason why high risk people get priority, but if your dr doesn't have them in yet, you can only get them at free clinics, and there are so many sick people standing in line it really isn't worth it. Luckily my bro in law found a free clinic that isn't getting any one in there, so d and Parker both got the vaccine for free in like 10 min.,

Abbs- how is D doing? I still feel so bad about his uncle, plus everything you've been going thru!

I am feeling better. the dr put me on a z pack and i am feeling so much better- i can breath a lot more easily, yay. I just have to be careful not to overdo, because this flu really makes you tired for a while. so i'll feel fine and start to clean or something (d and parker have had the run of the house for almost a week, eeek!) and then bam, I can barely stand up. LOL

hi ladies!quick check in, I have the flu and so am typing in bed. bah this stinks!

Ring how are you guys doing? how is d?

Daizy, is your injury any better?

Val, how is Phebe, I know she has the flu too....

wait, did I miss something? what is going on tonight with ring? I must have not read journals carefully enough. I did read them, but lacked the energy to comment. Something is sucking the energy right out of my soul, I tell you. I am so tired and MEH today.

hi there! i am indeed back. not typing too much because my wrists still hurt from the NaNo madness , LOL.

I missed you girls! kris how did the marathon go? I am so proud of you!

Ring, did you apply for that Job?? I think you should go for it!

Well, I am right now taking a break from the book I wrote for this years nano, to work on the first book, which i want to be shopping with Agents by the end of the year. Here are brief synopsis of both, since you asked ;)

The Beach House: One day, Adelle wakes up to find that her boyfriend of 6 years has left her, without a word or any indication that he was unhappy. He leaves a note by the sink and is gone.  Having been left by her father when she was 12, this is not new for Adelle. With the help of her friends, she slowly begins the process of healing,  and of understanding who she is.  The story follows her progress as she learns to trust her feelings and let go of her worries, in order to enjoy her life. It also looks at what happens when two friends realize that what they have is more than just a friendship.  By the end of the book, Adelle must decide if she is too afraid to risk her heart and her friendship with Finn, and take a chance on loving him.

Ok, so not a great synopsis, but hopefully you get the point. I've never tried to synopsize my book before, if that is even a word, and it is really hard!

Ok, so the second book:

The End of May's, is the story of Caylin. We follow her as she travels accross the country. Each new , she has some new story of where she is from or who she is. But really, who she is a girl who is running away. One short month after her father's death, Caylin packed her bags and left her home. After more than a year of lonley cross country travel, she finds herself in Florida, where she meets Evan, a fellow server at the restaurant where she lives. Over the next few months, they fall in love. But Caylin can never forget that he doesn't really know her, and she is haunted by the lies she has told, as well as by the memory of her father.  When she goes home to help her best friend plan her wedding, she comes face to face with her worst nightmare, and has to decide whether she is capable of opening her heart to anyone else, and take a chance on being hurt once again.

So yeah, those are my books. LOL. Sorry for the terrible synopises. If that is a word either, :)

Hi ring!! It's been pretty quiet in here, I wonder where Daizy is? Hmmm...

I am glad you had such a wonderful wedding, with little stress! I remember not being stressed at all, even though every one else was. It rained in the morning (it was an outdoor wedding) and everyone was freaking out that I would freak out. I was just happy to be getting married. And on top of that, I had literally no voice. None. I had to drink honey before going down the aisle in order to say my vows. Man, good times. And the maid of honor forgot the rings. Ha! But really, it was a wonderful day!! I am so glad you and D enjoyed it and had a great wedding!!!!

DOH! Late again, LOL

Hi girls. Man I suck at getting on here latley. I think it is cause i have been working on the novel, and it is going so well, I don't want to interrupt the flow.  Iknow it is saturday so no one is coming in here for a bit, but i wanted to say hi!

Daizy- I do hope you get to relax this weekend! It sounds like things have been way hectic for you recently.

When does Abbs come home from her honeymoon?

Ahh, I was sick and didn't weigh in- I did log my weight though, so I can post it...so sorry!

I also saw that O posted, and was hoping that meant she'd come back here, but no luck. That makes me sad, I miss her.

Sorry I haven't been on- Friday I was watching my niece who is three months old, and between her and Parker, I don't really get time to come online much. Saturday I had a wedding (D's cousin). It was the biggest wedding I have ever been too. Over 400 people were there. Oh my. The food was amazing- italian food , family style. Multiple courses. Chocolate fountain with an expresso bar. Yeah I ate way too much, which is sad, because Sat. Morning I weighed in at 149.8, a new low. Which I haven't seen since then. Yesterday D let me sleep in, and I did. Till like 11:30 which is really late for me. Then I had to clean and grocery shop because D's best friend and his wife were coming over for dinner and to hang out. I ate a lot again, of course,  but mostly because I didn't eat anything before dinner time, so by the time dinner came around I was famished.

Abbs- how is the wedding planning? Aren't you getting excited ?!?! It is so close now!

Daizy, how are your legs doing? Mine are not so hot, I think I am going to have to break down and buy expensive shoes. Ugh.

I'd love to join, but am confused by the SW. I am guessing GW is goal weight and CW is current weight?

that just begs the question, what kind of guy would rather watch his woman do that than... you know, the real thing?  Man, people are funny

I want to click but I know it will make my computer crash....boo.

How was eveyrone's weekend? I went for a run today, and it felt awesome! But the following annoyed me- I was on the treadmill at the gym, and there were probably 15 treadmills, and only 4 in use. What do you know that this old guy picks the one next to me. I hate that. I hate when people come use the machine next to you when there are plenty of others. And I hate to be rude, but he smelled bad...luckily he only walked for 11 minutes. Does this bother anyone else?

Daizy that was so insightfull. I guess all those years of practice help a bit.

Ring- I understand what you mean when you say there are two sides- in the end, regardless of what happened or who was really wrong, it doesn't change now. He is obviously still insecure about your involvement with Relay, so you guys need to work on that. What compromise does he want? Why does he want that? Are you willing do to what he wants, or can you guys meet in the middle somewhere? I understand what you mean about being called to do it, I feel the same way. Honestly, I have always known that I have a calling for service. More than anything, I wanted to join the peace corps- and would have, but D was waiting to find out about the government job and that was important to us too. I still regret it, but at the same time, I cannot blame D, because I could have chosen to make it a priority and done it before we were married, or even after, if it was that important to me, I am sure I could have talked D into doing it. There is no sense in being upset about it now. But I do know that I have the desire and the calling to do this sort of thing, and I can't not do it- not for anyone, because then I wouldn't be true to who I am , and ultimately, I would be unhappy. And you cannot be happy in a partnership if you aren't happy on your own.

Ahhhh socializing- I am totally a social whore. JK you know what I mean. this is why i looooove the book club. I would absolutely shrivel without a social network. I know what you mean Abbs, and I think it is important to explain that to D. I mean, he doesn't have to feel the same way, but if you feel that way, then it is important he knows and understands that this is something you need for your mental and emotional well being as a person.

Daizy- I laughed at your telepathy joke. D is not like that at all, but my sister in law is totally like that. Now I have never been the kind of woman to be upset with D but try to make him guess what I am upset about. That seems like a great way for me to get frustrated and more angry while D eats chocolate and plays games, completely oblivious. I really feel that unless you share your feelings, you are the only one responsible for them. So if you chose not to communicate them, then you have no one to blame but yourself.

Total side note, Daizy- did you read twilight?

hi there! I didn't get on until afternoon time, so I missed you all! Yesterday was HOT for Michigan in september- 83 ish. Blech. I hate hot weather. I love fall weather, so bring it on!!

The day before yesterday parker took his first real steps, lol and now he is refusing to do it again! I want to catch it on video so I can put it on facebook. Right now he is chewing on my pj shorts and saying Mama mama mama over and over because he wants me to come play....way cute!

I hope you and D worked it out Ring, and that both of you are over the Mondays! I don't get those any more since I am home all the time, the week days mean nothing in my world.
