Yesterday I finally got around to shipping out 4 X-mas boxes that are going to OH, IL, NY, and Canada. And a reg. box to ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
berrygold. The other 3 smaller gift packages will go out next week. Hope everyone enjoys the goods since as always, money is really tight and what little I was able to keep back for, it always comes in handy of getting double of certain things.
I need to start making X-mas cards out near the end of Nov cause I know that I won't get half of the cards I want to send out this yr, including family.
This is the 2nd yr in a row I'm not in the holiday mood. Again we didn't put up any X-mas stuff around the house and bubba really was adamant about not doing it either. I guess I don't blame him cause by the time you put all the work into putting everything up, you gotta take it down. With the months going by so fast, I just can't get excited for any holiday, not even my bday. Maybe if it went a little slower, my attitude could change but that's highly doubtful. Plus the weather annoys me in TX when it comes to fall and winter, there are no such things unless Mother Nature gets a bug up her ass and makes it coldcold once in a blue moon and that ain't often.
Bah.

Still haven't watched the last eps of Avatar. I have it on the DVR and I dl'ed the eps and have it on the laptop which I haven't touched.
And now I'm getting hooked into watching American Dragon: Jake Long on the Disney ch. It just makes me laugh cause Zuko is Jake's voice and Katara is Rose. The only thing that annoys me is the whole hip-hop slang that Jake speaks.

het_challenge assignment, it's driving me FUCKING BONKERS!!!!!!!!!!! I keep going back to the stuff I already have written and re-write certain areas or keep adding stuff in whereas I SHOULD BE writing NEW STUFF to complete the bitch. *headdesk x's 100* And then when I do start to tackle the new stuff, my brain goes blank as if I forgot how to write. So instead of letting it get me down, I just started jotting down the ideas that have been running in my head and THEN go back and see how to put them in a sentence. Why does something so simple have to be so damn hard!? The whole thing sounded good in my head but it turns into mud when I try to type it down.
*weeps*

I may not be in the holiday mood but I still plan on uploading a X-mas cd and other music goods as a gift to the flist in the coming weeks.

I took 4 strategic days off of work to give me those 10 days off in a row. Since I'm contract, the time off is out of my own pocket (ie I don't get paid), but my folks will be visiting from out of town, and you know I desperately need the break.
*gets out her pokin' stick* I'm ready whenever! I really hate days when nothing comes out right... I feel like breaking something sometimes. You were definitely on the right track with what you had started, so I bet it's really good.
On a related note... this evening I finished all the writing for my mammoth project, and it's halfway through the final beta. WOOHOO! Now I can start on
the third story in the seriesall the other projects that I have backed up, like cleaning my apartment and planning all the zillions of things I need to get done in the next couple weeks (like shopping, food, xmas fics, etc). *flops down ded*All of that said... my world is going to come to a screeching halt when your package arrives. ^_^ *gets champagne and tissues ready*

Yeah, I was getting so frustrated that I couldn't come up with what I wanted to write, I was losing steam. But it seemed that the night after ranting about it, the thoughts came back to me and got back to writing. I asked for a week extension since I know I won't have it done by tomorrow.
WOOHOO! Now I can start on
the third story in the seriesall the other projects that I have backed upYou should also use that time to think about what you want to write for the contest too. I can't wait to show off the art banner I'm having made up for this new contest. I already seen the sketch, now I'm just waiting on it to be colored and completed.
All of that said... my world is going to come to a screeching halt when your package arrives. ^_^ *gets champagne and tissues ready*
Yep, I'm sure it will once you get my package. *evil grin*

I've definitely been thinking about what I'm going to do for the next contest! I have some ideas, and I'm letting them percolate before I switch mental gears. :) I can't wait to see the art - the summer banner was sooo cuuuute! I want a little red puppy. ^_^
So when should I start looking for this package? Next week or next month? *looks hopeful* If I'd have known about the shipping issues (wtf it's Canada not Siberia!), I would've paypal'd you some money to get it in a priority envelope. *laughs* I'm so hopeless... :D
(But I am busting my ass at work, so I am darned well gonna spend some of this money on fun stuff! Like the *three* calendars I ordered for *myself*...)
