Tikatu's Travels Through Time

... but I've got one of my IR:TNP authors working on her next post and she wants my input.

Sigh.

Ran around like a chicken with my head cut off this afternoon, shopping for groceries and such. The kids had the day off for teacher's work day. Nice not to have to get up and make lunches but Hubby missed his bus and I had to get up and take him to work. They'll have next Tuesday off for voting, too.

Worked a bit on Chapter 14 of Turnabout over the weekend, and fleshed out some of my novel as well. Noticed today that someone put up a TB fic on fanfiction.net called WashUp. I guess maybe the "babe washing up on Tracy Island" fics have either been pulled or been ignored by the newer writers. I hope she didn't get any ideas from the bits I posted on Live Journal. Though I will admit that the plot has been done to death, I planned a twist on the traditional scenario. I should finish that fic, I really should.

funky_cheese sent me a picture to post on IR:TNP; the one of my character's daughter. So cute! I can hardly wait to see what she makes of my character's sons. Took a quiz that rockchick86  posted on "What Kind of Lunatic Are You?" I was "normal"! Yeah, right. Just ask my kids if I am.....

Well, the author has left the chat, and so has our companion in crime, so I'm going to put my husband's uniforms in the dryer and go to bed!!! Yeah!

Never thought I'd see the day that I'd welcome sleep so much.

Sigh.

as a grilled hamburger with both American and Swiss cheese on it. Put a garden salad with lots and lots of cucumber in it on the side and life is good!

Second week of school has started and things seem to be settling down into a routine. Take the hubby to work, the boys to elementary, the girl to middle school, then back home to do some work around the house. Added grocery shopping to the list today; that's where the burgers, the American cheese slices, the Swiss cheese slices, and the garden salad ingredients came from. I've got a two week menu of meals to choose from and plenty of variety (I hope). Still have a few things to get but that can wait until tomorrow morning.

Finished chapter one of Washed Up. I need to post it at Tracy Island. I might cut it in half and make it into two chapters; I haven't decided yet. Wrote five requested reviews at fanfics.org yesterday. That Street Fighter fic was really hard to read! Made my teeth itch.

All the cats are fed and waiting to go back outside, so I'd better tend to that since no one else is.

And I made the big mistake of going to the grocery store before breakfast. Came out laden down with cake, fudge, snack treats, and apple fritters. All on sale of course but none of it truly necessary. (Though the fritters went well with my coffee!) The shopping wasn't all unnecessary junk food, though. I did get stuff for tonight's meal; some small steaks on sale, fresh corn on the cob (on sale),  and I already have some potatoes for baking. And some fresh pineapple at a great price, too. With the cake to top it off, we'll have a good supper and I am determined that the potatoes will be in the oven when I go pick up Hubby.
