Today I write, and write, and write.

And mow the lawn.

And fold some clothes.

And maybe a little beach jaunt to walk on those wooden slats again. I like how they feel on bare feet.

Urgo helped me by setting me up with some space on his site for both the PTSD and Billboard Sky stories. Blogger doesn't have a chronological order option (as I found out on a forum), but while searching to see if they did offer it, I stumbled across a cool blog and hope to read more of it at some point:

So today I'm mainly working on some writing stuff and then going to Dad's for supper. The kids have been so cool the past few days, spent most of the morning checking out the newest additions KC made with Winter to their rollercoaster theme park (computer program/game). They were working on it for about an hour before we headed out to get them to school.

I feel very organized with the writing sites right now. Am ready to write. :O)

Here's the two story sites:

I've been tooling around on the Blogger for a few hours, in between offline stuff... downloaded some "hello" im program that is supposed to enable one to post pictures to the blogs... completely frustrated, can't get that to work.

Also can't seem to find a way to set up the other blogs going the reverse way they are... I want the oldest posts to remain, and the newer ones to go under it. But I think the 'archiving' thing makes that impossible.

What I need is a thread-like setup. I'm tired of trying to figure it out, though. For some reason I thought it would be pretty simple and basic, but it's not... I'm thinking I'll just message Urgo later on and ask him if he can suggest a way to get things the way I want them for the two story sites. After that is figured out, I can just write... gsus, I could have been writing instead of trying to figure this crap out. :/

Aside from all that, it was a pretty calm day today. The boys were excited about the thunderstorm when they came home, thunder in the distance. Last night Winter ended up running into the room when the lightening strikes got too close and loud. Nikki worked on some Writing/Reading stuff, and June is going to be mainly a refresh course on Math. This week looks pretty gentle, on the calendar anyways... hope to get a lot of things done with the freelance ideas.


So much I haven't written about anywhere... sometimes I like to talk it out rather than write it out. Thank gosh for friends with patient ears. Like Barb. And Kenny, even though he falls asleep if I yap longer than twenty minutes, hahaha. :O)

I'm beat... gonna take a quick run around the house, straighten things up, see what the boys are up to with the RollerCoaster Tycoon park they built, and then message Urgo and at the very least solve the story pages issue, if it can be solved.

Gsus... haven't had a spare 3 or 4 hour block to surf around this blog area to figure out a better set up... my boy KC got sick with a tummy flu and my dad swung by for some Scrabble games with me and The Kenny. Work, the garden, the media center, and trying to get the house situated for the inlaw visit next week has pretty much left me with an hour here and a half hour there.

I did notice a picture addition section, will quickly try that after this post. I think I might have caught the tummy virus my son had... I feel freakin' dizzy and flip-flop bellied. 3 Advil and two cups of coffee pounced on the dull headache I woke with, but nothing is removing the pit of doom feeling in my lower stomache. I'm hoping to use the power of my mind to stop the virus, right now I'm just forcing it out through my nostrils and ears. Yeh, I'm a little bit nuts, I believe in the scientific magic of positive thinking.

Been trying to find a place to download some Uncle Bonsai tunes... kaaza lite has only 2, and a coworker gave me a cassette tape insert from a very old tape called "Boys Want Sex in the Morning". The lyrics are great, and the one song I did hear (not one from that tape, an obscure one called Chubby Wanna Sundae) sounded good. Sort of like Girls Guitar Club. Lately I've been grooving on Japanese rock, old jazz, and some violent heavy metal, though, so the transistion is a little weird to the ears, hahaha. :O)

Got a junk load of errands to do today. With my boy KC home, I'm focussing on the paperwork this morning and hope to heck he's ok to drive around with later this afternoon. If not, I'll just wait until The Kenny comes home and can get the rest done this afternoon. Kinda wanted to get it all done during the day so I could hang out with The Kenny when he gets home from work.

So, the plan right now is to use this place as a sorta journal spot until I figure out the setup thing, then I'll be deleting all this and making a writing area better suited to what my mind wants.


Been getting letters from brother Billy in prison... crazier and crazier. :( I felt homocidal a few times the past few weeks, but mother's day does that to me. Got a letter from brother Ed in California, learned something I didn't know about a family member, and will be seeking the details on it, although it doesn't shock me and even though I'm sick of all the drama and headaches in this family, I am curious to know the facts on it.

My garden is kicking up some major sprouting. I have never been able to grow cantelope or green and red peppers... but this year, they sprouted and are looking hardy. I am pretty stunned, and just hoping the grub worms don't find these perfect little budders. The sunflowers are popping, as always, and the morning glories are starting to get their second tiers. Still waiting on the snow peas...



Just in case my sweetie pooks mutual-stalking buddy Xavier finds this website, I want to say... wet tshirt this summer for you, straight from the pool. Know what I'm sayin'? ;)

That's it for this mornin'... and a nice mornin' it is, even with the overcast skies and cooler temps. A great thinking and writing day, along with running around doing errands.

I'm screwing around with all the options and trying to figure out how to get a picture on here... times like this I feel I shoulda paid attention to html threads. There's got to be a button somewhere... I've also got to figure out how to seperate two sections for both stories I want to work on.

It appears somebody might have already regged a gmail account with my fc moniker. I hope that's not the case, not that it matters much in the big scheme of things.

I've got to spend a good three to four hours playing on this tomorrow to get it set up... this isn't exactly what I want yet. But it's fun exploring all the setup options.

May 8th... leaving shortly for Plymouth to see freezerman and meet LadyGodiva/notafeminist. Going to look into the gmail thing tomorrow, because I understand setting up a blog gets one a beta test version of the gmail, and Flailey never emailed me back because he's most likely too coked up to check his emails, that rat bastard! Hoping to mess around with all the options and set up the blog the way I want it; might opt for the $15 bucks per year thing depending on what it allows and how many extra features are included. Using this space for now to sort out head and ideas.

May 7th, 2004. Busy weekend coming up. Setting this up now so I can work on it more Sunday or Monday.
