Nobody Knows

My 10 year old daughter has 4 Code Lyoko fics posted on ff.net.  I wonder if she's the slave to canon I am?

If so, and you are reading this, then you get to read a missing scene from Thursday's show. If it sucks, blame morgenwrites .  Because she's the one that put this in my brain. If it doesn't suck. . .let me know, because then I may have good news for you.

( Hello? )

What happened to "it's not a brain tumor"--does mets to brain not count?

Today I was at a conference on medical collections (that's what I do now, instead of the SAHM game), and I saw someone wearing this set of scrubs.

How cool is that? Better than tonight's show, that's for sure.

I haven't read everything everyone's written about this, but I haven't noticed anyone else pointing out( Read more... )</div>

This summer, I'm finishing last summer's fic.  I was stalled, not only  by my Drama in Real Life (which, btw, is still IN PROCESS, and don't get me started. . .this is my happy place), but because Shonda & Co started stealing my ideas.  Yeah, they did.  Callie was always going to move in with Cristina. Okay, there was no Thorny Shrub in mine, because even I couldn't make McDreamy that much of a McDumbass.  But tell me--where did you read about Mer in therapy first?  That's right.  And the Mark/Derek BFF?  Okay, everyone did that last summer, but still. 

AND can I just say that in the candle-house scene, when Mer is calling herself 9-kinds of idiot for showing up there?  Totally reminded you of when I had her wake up on the trailer steps all muddy, didn't it?  Well it did me.

So.

Watch this space.

I went out of town for three weeks.  I've been back for two. And haven't written a word.  Heck, I haven't even managed to watch GA when broadcast, at least not in full.  No, that's not like me.  Yes, something is up.

My husband and I are separating, and I see little possibility for reconciliation.  This is scary for me, but I'm pretty sure it's the right move.  I hope. Meanwhile, fics are taking the back burner. . .unless one could show me how to make money from it.

Going on three week road trip to learn about the Revolutionary War.  If this sounds horrifying or interesting, you can read about it here.

First thing about me: I'm a homeschool mom.  My daughter is what's called twice-exceptional in educational-ese.  She's been diagnosed with Asperger's syndrome but has a very high intelligence.  (Thus sayeth her mommy.  But really, we're doing 3rd grade math, she taught herself to read by 2.5 years, she has near eidetic memory. . .so yes, thus I sayeth.)  She's not a great fit for traditional schooling.  So, we homeschool. 

While I'm not one of those homeschoolers who insists that traditional schooling should be the last choice for everyone, I do think that most of the people who say "I could never homeschool" actually could.  I said it, after all, and so did my cousin, until she pulled her son out of school 18 months ago.

Anyway, my cousin and I are leaving Saturday for a 3 week field trip.  If you ever wondered what a 1600 mile trip with two moms, five children in one minivan would be like, we're going to blog the trip. Be a doll and comment there as well.

We the Mommies

First, a gripe or a request.  It's not really about the comments, except that it is about the comments.  I don't really care if what I write gets commented or reviewed by tons of people, as the people who are commenting are quality peeps.  So it isn't about the numbers.  But if no one is reading Sounds on the ga_fanfic community, then I might as well not post it, right?  It's sort of a PITA to get it up there, as I think the LJ programmers are on crack.  So when I post a chapter and it goes a long time and there's not a single comment, I wonder if I shouldn't take back the 15 minutes it takes me to post something here.  (And considering that we're on chapter 24. . .that's 6 hours of time I could have been reading trashy novels or soaking in the bathtub.)  And since I don't know how to get a hit count or anything, I can't tell if anyone's looking.
