There are fingerprints on my monitor ...

Which is totally not relevant to anything. Then again this post is not actually relevant to anything either. It is here because I have nothing else to do. Okay, that is not entirely true, I could be cleaning up that random sketch of my child sneaking off with a goat (because I doodle weird things) and working out if I actually plan to go anywhere with it. I am not sure I do though. I think it was only ever meant to be exactly what it is; a quick, rough sketch.

Oh! Coolest thing. Finally, after using a tiny toaster/convection oven (this tiny toaster convection oven actually) for approximately ever, we got our new gas range installed today. 6.2 cubic feet is HUGE when you are excited that you can fit a 9x13 pan in the oven again! I could fit 3 more in with it too! This made me far more excited than it probably should have, but seriously! 9x13 pan! The other thing we had been using barely fit an 8x8! Of course this also means the kitchen remodel (which I don't think I mentioned before) is nearly complete. Counter space is going to be wonderful!

I have written exactly nothing since my last post. I kind of feel bad about that, but only because I am going a little stir crazy. Not in the headspace to write though, so probably a good thing I haven't been trying. I can feel a story stirring however, still back in the hazy dark portion of my mind waiting for me to be in a better mind frame to break out into. I don't know what it will be about, it is still way too fuzzy to tell, but it is in there, lurking.

On the medical front, still no news. I am starting to think this might be a good sign. Maybe? One would hope if things were urgent they would have been a bit quicker on getting back to me. Maybe something new and less worrisome emerged? Would be nice to hear it though. My shoulder is no better and has been joined by my opposite wrist. Stupid nerve damage. :( It may have started improving by now if I would stop using it. I dislike sitting like a lump and not moving though. If I have done irreparable damage to the nerves, so be it. Life is too short to spend months waiting for something that may or may not "get better". I can work through the ow most of the time so that is what I do.

And that is about it. Still breathing, still lurking and nothing really new to report. *nod* Here is a goat thief for those who are curious to see it.






One Rat-brat and Diablo. Yes, the child does have her mother's hair. :P

I can't see it? I've reloaded a few times, but nothing.

[genlisae.livejournal.com]

Can you see it now?

[ritaxis.livejournal.com]

Yes! So cute!

... but why does she have to sneak the goat away?

[genlisae.livejournal.com]

Probably because she was supposed to be doing something else at the time, or possibly because cuteness and cuddles must be horded. NOt sure I haven't asked lol

[century-eyes.livejournal.com]

Awwwwwwwww!

[bolob.livejournal.com]

I see it now :) Nice drawing madame. But why are they stealing the poor lil goat for? :(

Yay for the new range and I guess you could go with the adage "no news is good news" re your health.

Random question for you that Amo and I had a short discussion about. Ok...what all do you think He man keeps under those britches of his? XD I was watching and I watched him pull out stuff about as much as sims pull and stick stuff up their asses!

Don't worry so much about writing. It's not good to force yourself if you don't have a clear conscience about it. Just leave it alone for now and it'll come out when it's supposed to. I missed writing like you have no idea, but I couldn't do anything and then one day...my muses began again and that's how I have a new story up now. It's slow going b/c I've been busy this summer and work is getting hectic too, so...little time for me unfortunately.

Stay cool madam n_n

I already told you. He keeps whatever Man-At-Arms puts up there.

[bolob.livejournal.com]

Shush you xp I wanna hear this woman's opinion lol <3

[amochan8878.livejournal.com]

She's going to agree with me.

[bolob.livejournal.com]

Oh pfft! Xp I'm sure she can be more creative than that

[genlisae.livejournal.com]

Wait. You were in a discussion about an ass of holding and that was the best you could come up with?

I am horribly disappointed.

[amochan8878.livejournal.com]

Actually, how it happened was, she mentioned she saw He-Man pulling all these things from his fuzzy britches, and wondering how they got there. I said, they were obviously put there by Man-At-Arms....I suppose Skeletor could have been using him for safe keeping as well.

So really, I was answering her question so nyaaaaaah :P

[genlisae.livejournal.com]

Ah, I see, you are forgiven then. This time.

[genlisae.livejournal.com]

Goats get stolen for hugs and cuddles *nod* or because you want to give them hugs and cuddles but you are supposed to be doing something else at the time.

In all honesty, I do have to agree with Amo, whatever Duncan puts there, BUT (the puns! They kill!), because that is a not very specific answer, here is my list, in no particular order of

Things Duncan has stashed in He-man's Ass of Holding:
-Spare Swords: duh. Use your sword as a lightning rod often enough and it is going to end up a sad shriveled nub (shut-up, Amo)
-$3.52 cents: a.k.a. Bus fare for all the times He-man mysteriously got back from beyond the middle of nowhere in just a few minutes
- Cat treats: oddly the cat did not want them afterward.
- Monster Bait (again, shut up, Amo)
- A burn kit: Thus explaining how it is possible to get struck by lightning that often and not be one giant blister.
-PBandJ: Heroism is hungry work.
-Lube: Because not even He-man is man enough to take all that without it.

*ded of laughter* XD I knew you would have a lovely extended explanation

[amochan8878.livejournal.com]

And I know why she's stealing the goat. It's to send to me...
No news is good news has always been a saying I lived by. Your update has been put on hold (see? bad news) cause I had to like..work. This chick had a box of all sorts of stuff fall on her face so the lawyer I sometimes work for had to call me in. Time in that office takes away from time in Elven Glade :(

[genlisae.livejournal.com]

OMG, you worked instead of writing a sims story??!! Amo, how could you!? Your priorities, they need adjusting. :P

[amochan8878.livejournal.com]

I know right? And I have to do it today too! Kind of sucks. On the plus side though, you know...money.

[bolob.livejournal.com]

I'd believe it XD

You a freelance paralegal Amo? :Oa

Work ALWAYS takes away from sims, don't you know that, but bills have to be paid, so money must be made and sims won't do that for us - as much as it'd be nice if they would. Damn...in fact, I wish I had this one sims salary. I almost feel bad for her hubby. He's in the military career making a little over $800 and she's in the Nature Science and making $10,000! lol I was wondering how the hell they were getting so much money XD

[amochan8878.livejournal.com]

Nope. I'm a freelance phone answerer and filer XD. Kind of nice that you think I finished college though LOL. I think the attorney I work for wants me to be a paralegal though, since he got rid of his. She's a bit of a flake. A lawyer without a paralegal is an uhappy, pissed off lawyer. Yay, good times.

[bolob.livejournal.com]

Ah so you're doing what I have the associates degree to do. What did you study when you were in college? Those peeps are who we deal with in the office I work in and yep I'm very aware of how stressed attys can get when they have no help. You gonna do it? :)

[amochan8878.livejournal.com]

I never made it past the first semester of college. I do still hope to go back, but the idea of a major keeps changing. I really have zero interest in the law and working for attornies for as long as I have really doesn't change my opinion of it much.
This one I'm with now, is much nicer and calmer than most, but he's still an egomaniac and believes himself to be the smartest person in the room at all times. Which is weird because he's the most socially awkward and insecure person I've ever met. His conversation ability is just......weird. He also fancies himself to be a bit like Bob Ross.
Like I said, the man is strange, but he doesn't scream at me like the other attorney did, so I can deal XD.

[bolob.livejournal.com]

Well as long as its someone you can put up w - unlike my boss - she is forever thinking someone is talking about her in a bad way! She drives us crazy w that bullshit. She would be the last person any of us would talk about except to say how insecure of herself she is! Its nuts OTL

[abovepoetics.livejournal.com]

love it

[klokwatcher.livejournal.com]

Congrats on your new gas range! I'd be excited about it too!!! ^_^

As far as the medical front, "no news is good news" right? Sorry you're having to "work through the ow" as you put it. <3

The scribble looks nice!
