Betsy's Home of Rambling Randomness (original) (raw)

25 October 2012 @ 10:35 pm

Re-read the first 4 chapters that I had posted of Resistance. Then I went and looked in the story folder on my computer, and there Chapters 5 - 15. Chapters 5 - 7 or 8 have been finalized and are ready to post. Now to polish the rest to 15 and get them beta'd (thanks dragonydreams for volunteering to take up the mantle this one again).

Now to re-read the rest and see if I can remember where Lori and I were taking it. I believe at 15 we were on the downward hill to the finish line.

I forgot to include that I've lost touch with my writing partner, which I'm very sad about. I see I only posted 4 chapters of our WWII story. I looked in my fiction folder on my computer and we had written to chapter 15 of that story. I'll work on getting them posted. We were just about to the end. I'll have to see if I can finish it off by myself.

Thanks for the welcome back guys. It's funny, I haven't posted in like 2 years and had no muse for any stories. Then I post last night and can't get Angel and Spike out of my head. How funny is that.

Lots have been happening since I've been gone. Some good and some not so good...how about a lot not so good.

Took my first hiatus back around Nov 2009 when one of my best friends died unexpectedly the Tues before Thanksgiving of that year. She was about 45 at the time. She went into the hospital the middle of November and died about 2 weeks later from complications from H1N1. It really threw me for a loop. I just kind of turned inward for a long while.

Then I see I posted about when my account was hacked. But didn't stay around for long. Then my computer went down for 6 months last year, and a year ago (Oct. 18th) I was laid off from my job at the hospital with about 300 other people. Still don't have a permanent job. Started doing temp work back in February while I looked for something else. Lots and lots of resumes sent out, but only about 8 interviews that turned into a whole lot of nothing. Didn't even hear back from 3/4 of the resumes I sent in.

I started temping back in February. That 1st assignment lasted til the middle of May, and the one I currently have started June 1st and I've been extended to the end of January. I've never had to work this hard to get a job before in my life. I hate not having the security and not having the health insurance.

Went to the Oregon Coast for 6 days over Labor Day weekend to celebrate my parents' 50th wedding anniversary. My sister, her husband, my niece and her boyfriend flew in from Colorado. My dad rented a house on the beach and we had a great time. Decided living on the beach suits me really well.

So have I missed any good stories? Hope all of you are doing well. Now it's time for me to get ready to hit the hay so I can get up at 5 am to get ready for work.

Hey guys...remember me? Can't belive it's been about 2 years since I've posted or even been on LJ. But I'm back. Missed everyone and reading great stories about my boys. Haven't even written, done graphics or videos since I took that long hiatus.

So what's new with everyone?

I know I haven't been around in a long while. Lots of crap going on.

Anyway I wanted to pass on that my email was hacked. I have control back but not before they sent out a mass email saying I as stuc in London and robbed at gunpoint. They also deleted all my contacts so unless I have an email from you in my inbox, I can't contact you personally.I'll post more later when I'm home from work

But I'll settle for hugging my modem. I've been without internet since I got home last Wednesday night. It was back on when I got home from work today....god, how I missed getting online. That better not happen again. Got lots to catch up on, and that's what I've been doing tonight.

Now it's time for bed, but you better believe I'll be online all weekend. Thank goodness the weekend is so close. Still lots to catch up on.

Got lots to post, but that will have to wait. Been watching a lot of shows this week, or at least downloading them and trying to watch them all before more start premiering. Not sure how I'm going to keep up with them all, and work. But I'll sve that for another post.

The purpose of this post is to let you all know that I've posted a Chapter 4 of our story Resistance.

(Click on the banner and the story will open in a new window)

Hope you all like the new chapter...and just a word of warning...the angst is kicking into high gear with this chapter.

And I'm looking forward to it. The leavs are starting to turn, it's darker much earlier in the morning and the evening, and there is a slight nip in the air. I love it.

Haven't done much this weekend. Was really tired yesterday and didn't get my ass out of bed til 1 pm. I never sleep that late anymore. Guess I really needed it. Of course, when you sleep that late, the day just flies by.

Been watching some new season premieres...after the 1st episode of the new Melrose place, I decided to skip it. I didn't think it was all that good. The original, so much better.

I have the 2nd episode of The Vampire Diaries sitting on my harddrive waiting for my attention, along with the season premiere of Fringe. I think I'll watch that next. I fell in love with Fringe last season, and thing Bones is a great lead in for it.

Loved the season premiere of Bones, and it did great in the ratings. Over 10 million tuned in. Loved the 2nd episode of Supernatural, but it was sad at the end. But this looks to be an exciting season. Is it true that it's the last?

Waiting for the Seahawks to come on TV - 1 pm. So in the meantime, I'm making a quiche and I'm bringing you the next chapter in our WWII story. Things are going to start getting really angsty now, and the road a bit bumpy for our boys. You can find the newest chapter
here. Looking forward to your comments.

Now off to throw some laundry into the washing machine. Wouldn't do anyone any good, especially me, not to have any clothes to wear to work tomorrow.

Just watched the series premiere of Legend of the Seeker. Never heard of this show before, but it was recommended to me when I put out a post at the beginning of the summer for new shows to watch. I really liked it...alot. I have Episodes 2 and 3 already downloaded, so I'll have to now download the rest.

I was so caught up watching it, that I never got around to responding to comments. I'll have to do that tomorrow night. It's 10:00 and part of my quest of getting more beauty rest is to go to bed on a work night before midnight. Oh to be young and in my 20's again.

Why can't the weekends be longer, or at least go by slower? Like my usualy sunday night, I had probably falling asleep, and didn't until about 1:30. That's fine for the weekend when I can sleep in, but not when I have to get up at 4:30/5:00 am to get ready for work. Going to be tired today. Means I'll have to try and get to bed a little earlier like I've been doing.

I'm must be getting old. Seems I need to be in bed by 10 on a work night now in order to be able to function the next day at work. I hate getting old.

But we have the Bones Season 5 premiere in 4 days, 3 if you don't count today (and I'm not, since the day has already started - lol).

Well gotta go and get all clean and pretty work work. Have a good day everyone.
