While LJ was shut down, I had so many things to blog about and now I can't think of them!

Okay, let's bullet point this and get it over with.

Going to Connecticut in a few hours to dog/cat/petsit for Andrew's parents. It is a thing beyond all awesome. DOGS! CATS! CONNECTICUT! I'll get my fuzzy fix and go to the Book Barn.

Since we don't have the license plate for out car (it was stolen), we're taking the train. Wheeeee! I love trains. They are my absolute favorite way to travel.

Concerning the license plate: we got pulled over on Saturday by a cop. At first he was kind of brusque, but once he saw Andrew's crime lab ID, he became laid back and sort of indifferent and after we explained the situation he sent us on our way and all he said was, "You know more than I do."

Yes, I've been thoroughly spoiled (by myself) for Book 7. Feel free to discuss it around me all you like.

Quote of the Week: "That's it. That's what we're naming our firstborn child, boy or girl: Monkey J. Monkington." - Andrew

I take the above to be proof that not only should Andrew and I never have children, but that we might want to look into having any future pets pre-named for us. I hear the nice folks at the Humane Society do that for you.

I am THISCLOSE to my goal weight for my sister's wedding. Just three more pounds. God, I hope that dress fits when I get into it.

Congressman's office is not as helpful in helping with our passports as I thought they would be. I still think our congressman is kinda cute.

Re: current novel - I am two chapters away from flawless victory. I will have this sucker complete before I go to Florida if I have to start dictating to Andrew while I'm in the shower.

New blog! I know you're all groaning, but it's actually just a crossposting non-LJ version of

fiction_theory. It's over here. I set it up and posted in it while LJ was down.

While LJ was down, I was so desperate to blog/journal I set up accounts at InsaneJournal, GreatestJournal, Blogspot, eBloggy and was seriously considering blogging via MySpace. I may have a psychological problem that needs looking into.

I've been in a rush all day, but gotten everything done that I needed to do! Yay me.

I really need to get back in the gleepost swing. I miss it so much.

Yesterday's weather was so fabulous I could not even begin to describe it. It stayed below 78 all day. Living further north does have its advantages.

Someone is growing tomatoes out behind our apartment building. I need to find out who and if I can get on the delicious homegrown action.

Connecticut, WHEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
