Girl Weaknesses....

So it turns out I am a girl, if the boobs, hair and hips don't initially give it away. Brandy and I were shopping and I spotted a beautiful pair of green knee-high boots that were just so pretty... so I caved and bought them. Yay. So now all I have to find is a skimpy little skirt to go with it and I am SET. ^^

I ordered some books online on christmas (I had gift cards. w00t!) and they came today. I'd say 3 days is good service, right? One of the books is one of those romance novels that you just wouldn't be caught DEAD buying in a store, simply because its cover has a giant sexy, rugged-lookin guy's face on it, but you can't see his eyes, so it's all lips. How embarassing would it be to walk up to the nerdy-lookin and/or sexy bookworm guys behind the counter at Barnes and Noble and hand that to him?! This way, the book NEVER leaves my room. Hahaha.

Brandy and I saw Night at the Museum tonight. It was really good, absolutely hilarious! Had a great plot twist and a good, satisfying, "I'm going to go home and smile for a while" ending... so I did. And then when I got home, my mom and I had soup (it's been raining and yucky all day...) and we watched the Devil Wears Prada. You can't help but giggle at that dragon-woman. ;)

My scarf is nearly to my waist now. It'll end up being a little taller than I am, maybe six feet long when I'm done. So I'm halfway done. I'd say that's pretty good.

Au revoir, little journal of mine!

Grapefruits

So today while I'm at a friend's house, my mom texts me and says "Hey sweetie. Mind stopping and buying me a grapefruit on your way home? I'm really craving one right now!" Uh, sure Mom. Whatever you say. (Seriously, who on earth craves grapefruits?!) And then I announced to my friend that my mom wanted a grapefruit and we giggled and made fun of my mom and continued playing Super Mario 64 on our Nintendo 64. (Yeah we're cool!) But I suppose my mom isn't the only one to have weird cravings. Most of the time, mine have to do with things like chocolate or caramel (or gummy worms... mmm...) but sometimes you just get those really weird ones... like jelly beans, steak, or, like this morning, good, hearty BACON. (I ended up indulging myself on that one). I guess it depends on the person, what they crave and all. Mom's can be that disgusting fruit all she wants. Yuck, not for me.

Try Two

Well, whaddaya know? Day two, and I have managed to remember to write on this. I'm going to have to rummage tonight for a book to reread while I have no books in my room that I already haven't read. With the exception of an odd textbook or two. I edited 3 chapters tonight in rapid succession, so now I have a whopping 20 chapters left. Hoo-rah.

Today I had to go take care of a citation on my drivers license, because I was pulled over 3 days after my license expired and damned if there isn't a grace period in which to renew it. But I had it renewed, paid my whopping $10 fine (oooh, NOW I'm broke. Hah) and, as the lady behind the desk told me, "It's dismissed. Now be on your jolly way." I waited for two hours to get that thing off my record, knitted a foot of my scarf, and I did indeed go on my jolly way. I jolly-wayed all the way to Jamba Juice, where I had a Caribbean Passion with an energy boost. Which did nothing for me, but I do so love that smoothie. :)

Scarf is officially about a foot and a half long. I've decided I'm going to send it to my Grandmother for her birthday. She, after all, probably needs it more than I do, living in the northeast. Brrr.

I've been debating about whether having a new editor help me out next year is worth it. Maybe I'll make a list of pros and cons in which to help me decide whether I need a new one or not.

That's all for tonight. My eyes are starting to burn from looking at my computer screen too long. Ouch. >.<

Not So Blank Anymore

So tonight, my little Parchment blog, I've discovered something about editing tonight. I can't do it without comfy pants and my hair up. And a bigger chair that i can curl up in would be a nice touch, but not tonight. Just my uncomfortable blue chair tonight. And the editing job tonight is: "Show Me The Way" which, I am quite sure, will be on my "to-do" list for the next six months or so, due to it's massive length. But hey. The writer is good; she's rooted a lot of the problems herself. It's just up to me to catch what she hasn't - very little. I'm on the third chapter, as it is, and it's only 5 pages. Last chapter was 10. Hah. I haven't written a 10-page chapter in ages.

I started a scarf this morning. It's got three colors: olive, cream, and chocolate, (sounds better than 'green, white, and brown,' huh?) I've done about a foot of it, alternated each color twice, and have decided that I am officially a lame gal. Knitting, writing, and romance novels. Yep, that's me.

That's all for tonight. Maybe if I'm lucky I'll remember to post on this sometimes. ;)
