before before BEFORE - I am SUCH a pig. After.  Clothes hung by color, purses and hats neatly arranged I'm a still a little messy; I mean it's really not perfect, but at least it's up off the floor.  

My SON is currently sitting at our dining room table, with a GIRL.  Doing homework.  Pfft.  *silent scream* Her name is BLAKELEY. He's smiling at her. He's flipping EIGHT years old. Seriously?  I'm about to boot the little trollop from my house.  Corrupting my son with her hair flips and cute little disposition.  Nolan's direction via telephone was to keep daylight between them at all times....

I was cleaning house, but I got distracted. For going on about two years now, it has been a fun game for my boys to try to scare me.  (I should say that I'm very easily startled.  My husband enjoys getting the, "Oh. my goodness!" out of me, too.)  One of the ways Ethan and AJ do this, is to put a toy rubber snake in various places in the house, and then hide and watch until I find it.  I was going...

What Greek Goddess are you? You are Persephone! You are like Persephone, daughter of Demeter and wife of Hades. That's right...you are married to the god of the underworld...and that makes you QUEEN of the underworld. But you should tell your friends not to judge...sometimes good girls just fall for bad boys. Like Persephone, you are somewhat paradoxical, as you present a saintly...

I attempted this last night, but el-jay thwarted me.  I am resilient, however, and sallied forth to persevere through that punk Frank eating my stuff. 1. What was the first fic you ever wrote? The first story I ever wrote in the wonderful world of Harry Potter fan fiction was called His Girl .  Some parts of it are delightful, while other parts make me want to cry.  It's Harry/Pansy, Draco/Ginny...

Here's a little quiz that I thought was interesting. It's only 10 Simple questions, so grab a pencil and paper, keeping track of your letter answers to each question. If you take it and repost, make sure to change the subject line to read YOUR total.   Ready? Begin.   Dont peek at the answers! 1.     When do you feel your best?   a)  in the morning  b)  during...

As many of you know, I write for an RPG.  I have a good time doing it, and spend a lot of time looking at my Googledocs page, seeing if there's somewhere in which I need to tag. Nolan grabbed my computer tonight to check his fantasy baseball scores, and Aiden was open to that page. The page in which someone (my money's on Jane, here) had dubbed the scene, "Ravenclaw Girls Go Wild." I glanced over...

Aaron James is not a morning person. Of course, he can bounce out of bed at 7 am on a weekend, but for school?  Huh uh. This morning's exchange went something like this: **** Me.  ( flips on light ) Good morning!  Time to get up. A.J.  ( puts pillow over his head ) Five more minutes. Me.  Nope.  Now. A.J.  Twenty more minutes. Me.  Erm...  no. A.J.  I don't want to go to school. Me.  Sorry...

IT'S THE FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL! *shouts for joy* A hearty breakfast of pancakes and milk... Katie's not going to school. She's WAAAY too smart for that. Ethan looks a little maniacal.... And then their patience was up for pictures. Cute Kid Story: So the boys have been into Star Wars all summer long.  They've been playing the video game, watching the movies, dressing up like Darth...

For the most part, I am an isolationist.  A lone wolf.  And I'm a little agoraphobic.  People stress me out.  Like really stress me out.   So I use music to de-stress in public.  I have my ipod, and I use it when I'm at Wal-Mart or the grocery store or the pool; I find I'm less homicidal that way. It is amazing to me how the most annoying voices cut RIGHT through the loudest volume on the ipod,...
