It's a marathon, not a sprint.

Hey! Hey!

Sending out Christmas Cards. If you would like one or have moved let me know.

You all can email me at l.kellyclev@yahoo.com if you'd like a card. No need for you to send one(you can if you like) but I just enjoy sending out cards!


Hope everyone is having a good day!

I'm eating hot water cornbread (that i fried up with the help of bacon grease a few days ago) and Mrs Butterworth syrup. I feel really Southern right now.

Off work for the summer. Yay! Hope to get some writing done, new and WIPs. Hope to get my fic only lj/dw journal up and running.

Saw X-men:FC twice. Somehow it was even slashier the second time.

Want to babble about various tv shows and stuff plus pics I promised to show a long time ago. Will get to that. Just happy to be off of work so my brain can take a break from moronic people who can't read instructions but somehow can find a 800 # like a frigging heat seaking missle and call me to ask me stuff that's oh! what's that? the answer is two inches from that 800#? Yeah.

Didn't sleep too much last night. Too nervous.



Took Zoe to her first day of preschool.




*freaking out*

I think my three year old just told me to get her a "damn popsicle." I understood the popsicle but maybe the other word was 'yam.' Um. Considering that this is the same child who sat on her potty and said, "Damnit, damnit, damnit' a few months ago, she probably did say damn.

I made macncheese the other day because the six yr old wanted some and hubby had to work(as usual). So I got the recipe from him and it turned out great. Some flour some water, some milk and white pepper, some velveeta. Yum.

Then later that night I accidentally made a cake(we had cake mix and brownie mix in the cabinet and I failed to look at the front of the box until after i'd mixed the ingredients,so, accidental)and we had no frosting until hubby pulled out the Paula Deen cookbook of butter and yummy food and found me a quick recipe.

Omg, I never knew cream cheese, butter and vanilla flavoring could taste so good together. I like it much more than the cake which is too fudgey rich for me and the frosting.

So I've went to barely cooking at all years ago to now cooking at least three or four times a week. Heh. Cooking can be very exciting at times. Sometimes I imagine I'm on my own cooking show.

Signed up on Insane Journal under Kellygirl.

Went ahead and ordered Supernatural S2 with my meager work money. Yay! More Yummy, conflicted, hot brothers.

Speaking of hot brothers, sandersyager is making me write Peter Petrelli with his weird sexual pocket kink. Don't ask. Just...turn and run in the other direction. It's in my lineup to write just because I'd never heard of it and Sanders is evil.

( Writerly stuff )


( TV Watching )

Work is going okay. Still not getting the hours and times I want. But apparently people love to buy lamb skin jackets, watches and throat cream at midnight. Who knew?


Things to do today:

Empty dishwasher, fill it up with dishes in sink. Wash extra dishes and pots.

Fold clothes.

Cook dinner which will consist of chicken and dressing. Probably other stuff, but don't know what yet.

Feed kids. Again. And Again. Find them stuff to do so they don't drive me insane, or more insane. Right now, they're eating pringles and drinking chocolate milk.

Work on resume and fic. Try not to confuse the two.

Watch Firefly marathon in progress on SciFi. I have it on mute right now since I wanted to listen to music. Usually I turn the TV off when I have music on but this is firefly and I am contractually obligated as an Old School Fan of Firefly to have it on.

I agree on most of this!!




I despair over so much that is popular in hip-hop these days. I hate that all the bling and naked women seems to be what makes up hip-hop, even though it's not. I remember sneaking into my brother's room and playing his 45 of Slick Rick and Dougie Fresh's "La di da di." I remember listening to Run DMC's 'Peter Piper' over and over, just fascinated with the way they rhymed the words.

Now stuff about shooting and having all these women rule the billboards and it's just...ugh. I love sharing music with my children, but those songs are not part of our music education time.

I know there are other types of hip-hop out there, I just have to search harder for it.

This is a good example: Lupe Fiasco w/Matthew Santos. Man, Matthew's voice is just genius. I love it.

My brain: There are twinkies in the cabinet. Let's eat one.

Me: We already did. What else do we have to snack on?

My brain: Twinkies.

Me: No

My brain: I don't know if you know this but we have twinkies.

Me: We already had some.

My brain: We should eat more.

Me: No, no more. We'll be sick.

My brain: Know what prevents sickness? Twinkies.

Me: Shut it. You're supposed to be thinking about nathan and peter anyway.

My brain: Nathan and Peter are eating twinkies. The end.

Me: You suck.

Bored.

Have used all my icons spots. Need to go through and weed some out so I can have more. Still have not counted how many of them are now having to do with Milo, Adrian, and/or heroes.

Can't sleep. Have been up since last night. Probably not a good thing trying to sleep with the second half of 'The Matrix' on but I went to sleep the other night with the first half on so I thought it was okay.

It wasn't but I did have some deep thoughts about action movies and their profound sayings and how if we judged action movies in some sort of religious context Bruce Willis ends up being God. It was either Bruce Willis, Laurence Fishburne or Keanu Reeves. Oh, and Nicolas Cage is Satan.

No sleep would be okay if not for the fact that my kiddies will be up in about an hour.

If I sleep when they are up they will possibly destroy the house. I will probably attempt to doze, while keeping a half eye on them.

Hubby has to go back out of town again in a few weeks. *Rolls eyes*


Not looking forward to beginning of August, at all. Sure I'll get to reflect/think about/angst/scream/cry about it being a year since AJ passed but I do that anyway, I don't need a special day.

Watching some preview about Comic-con with hubby yesterday morning (cause i was up, i'm always up or whatever) and they showed David Boreanaz and hubster hollers out, "Hey there's horsedick!"

I looked at him and laughed. Then laughed some more. I guess all those stories I told him actually stuck in his head. Usually when he sees DB hubster makes neighing sounds. Hubster is insane when he's here and not off in another state learning vague stuff for his job. He got some sort of promotion by the way.

Can I get a version of Fergie's video with her cut out of it? Just the Milo parts? And the song, can we change the song? Hee, I guess I'll just keep watching it with the sound muted.

I guess I could go write something. I actually have ideas for original fiction. Look out world. What's it called when you fear failure so much you don't even try? Is that fear of failure? Ehh, whatever it's called I have it when it comes to writing original fic that i'd want published. I do have some people telling me I can do it and that's always nice.

I think I'm going to go find the clip from one of the Milo comms I belong to where's he's um committing some type of sexual crime with a loaf of bread.

Heh, my five year old just ate a crab rangoon. I should look outside to see if pigs are flying. She who barely eats anything without threats of sitting on her chest and stuffing it in her mouth. Maybe if she likes them I can get more chinese food into her.

Everyone's been sick. Started last wednesday when the two year old threw up once an hour for about seven hours straight. Let me tell you, those are good times! Not. Really, really not. Then the five year old got sick Thursday night. Same thing. Yaaking til around 1 in the morning. Then I felt queasy and yucky. Probably because I got to clean up after them all by myself. Slept most of friday, watched Stargate(ohmygodhowcuteandhotandyummywerejackanddaniel?) and SGA(rodneyverycutetooandlovesheptryingtoteachhim)

After they went off I went back to bed.

Oldest kid still feeling yucky so not in school today. They like 12 hours between throwing up and she did some more last night after I thought she was over it.

Hubby was sick too. Less said about that, the better. *Rolls eyes*

I want to make a post about writing and fic and ideas and plot bunnies but need to be thinky some more. If that's possible. I did finish two stories before their deadlines. I have one more to finish. I started it but who knew Peter Petrelli was a friggin talker?

Right now he won't shut up. Hopefully that story will be done on time. He may need to be tied up by Nathan.

I'm thinking I need to set deadlines for my other stories and maybe they'll get done. Maybe three weeks out. Then I will get people to poke me or something. I really want to finish my cult AU and an older NCIS AU. I want to finish a few others too. Oh and Bo and Jimmy still talk to me. But ha! Fuckers! I was right. With Heroes being back on their voices are somewhat muffled by the hotness that is Nathan and Peter.(okay i did kinda watch cursed last night and fast forwarded and yes yes stop looking at me, rewound Bo and Jimmy parts last night. Leave me lone)

I was still kinda stunned from last monday night until about last wednesday night with Heroes. I am so in love with hot ass scarred Peter it's insane. I really want to rework the entire episode so that Nahtan is still alive though. Then he and Peter could fight mind washing/controlling Sylar when he showed up.

But,um, please oh heroes people never, ever, never put Nathan in a long black coat like Peter's. You will kill your main demographic. Screw what researchers tell you, women who really want to see Nathan and Peter kiss or Mohinder and Sylar make out are your main and very loyal fans.

Three episodes left! And DVDs will be out near end of August. They better give us some man kissing. Preferably Nathan/Peter kissing. Come on, Milo and Adrian totally make out when the cameras are off. Just give us a little treat or two. You know Adrian's cool with it. I bet Milo is too.

You know you think it would be hard to talk slash and incesty goodness with Backyardigans playing right next to you, but it's not. Or I have mastered the gift of blocking children's programming from having any effect on me.

I love LJ's saved draft feature. My power just went out for ten minutes and wheeeeee, my entry was right here waiting for me when I got back.
