MAEN all!  Woohoo for the job Ren, and starting AFTER your birthday   Always nice to have the day off to celebrate another year My motivation to do anything at all in the heat here is zero.  But, my copy of Brief Cases is on the way.  (Yes I already read it from the library.  We were going to wait on purchasing because responsible adultding.  Then I wore hubby down)

Since I was last active I have managed to write two stories that were 50K+ in length.  One is complete the other is not and utterly stuck.  I had planned to do Camp NaNo this month but it is now the 12th and I have 500 words written. 

I need someone to come kick my butt into gear.

If you want to meet up at the Greenbriar B&N release night, I'm game.  Electric Butters said that he met one of the major organizers for Marscon working there, so I'm thinking she might be supportive of organizing something if we can get enough support drummed up.

I think we'd (yakoaohw and I that is) def be up for this.  Maybe...it depends on rehearsal schedule for "Guys and Dolls".  

Yeah, I'll get that when I get home.

Thank you thank you!

Yesterday, Jim said she was at about 80%, but he had a full-blown case of the con crud.

  Someone send them chicken soup stat! 

Heh. Shannon claims to be embarrassed by how sick she was at the panel. I countered by telling her I WASN'T sick and was visibly more out of it than she. I even (accidentally) head-butted another beta.

She was sick at MarsCon?  You couldn't tell at all.  She's a trooper.

Hey, betas are NOT omniscient - as anyone who saw us when Jim dropped the bomb about Demonreach can attest. I could FEEL Fred and Terry come to quivering attention next to me, and when Priscellie and I looked at each other over Terry with what had to be absolutely MANIC grins on our faces, I think at least half of the crowd behind us erupted into laughter.

I could see your faces from where I was sitting on the floor and y'all looked like kids on Christmas.  

And Fred, Sir, I believe you have one of the most adorable child I have ever seen!  Her super powers of cute overload are astounding.

Edit: She's only one child.  My fingers really should listen to what I tell them to type! 

And now the facebook album.  http://www.facebook.com/album.php?id=705106851&aid=270194  As it says, I did quick and dirty edits to the photos.  If you would like yours removed, just ask and I will.  And if I didn't tag you it's because I'm horrid with names, please tag yourself if you'd like.

I didn't get nearly as many pics as I would have liked.
