Back from Lake House

[bloodsong1]

Had a proper 20something experience Friday night, complete with my first tequila shot and four small glasses of Sangria. Walked home drunk. SNB does not believe that I was drunk.

Swam to the floating dock Saturday. Swam with a life jacket on and with company. Choked once when tipping dock drove Cuteness (also in life jacket) into my right side, thus throwing my balance off and taking a wave to the face. Water down nose AND mouth. Blech. Swam back to shore, again with company. Spent the rest of the water time either sitting in the shallows or on a floatie.

Cuteness swam her little heart out. She got to the point where she was happily paddling around in a life jacket and a foam noodle to the floating dock and back. C, L and SNB all gave her swimming lessons.

IDK caught about 8 fish over the weekend with his shiny new rod and snarled the line so badly twice it had to be cut and re-strung. Cuteness snarled her line pretty badly, but we were able to save it every time.

We went to a carnival. I am too old for the high g rides. Cuteness rode the gentle rides and was happy. IDK went on the bumper cars and was happy. We got shaved ice. It was good.

Finally got to play D&D tonight before we left. More on that later.

Was inspired for my Urban Fantasy Novel, wrote about 1 to 1.5 pages on my phone and various notepads. I have a lot of research to do. Really should finish Maybe You Should Have Stayed Home first.

Cuteness and I are sunburned. We forgot the sunblock. It will not happen again. Noxema cream, the original in the blue canister, is still the best thing evar for sunburns.

Cuteness fell asleep in the car. She doesn't DO that. She swam her little heart out. I'm about ready to follow her.

Urban Fantasy will NOT be posted in here. I will send chapters out for critiquing upon request or if you succumb to my begging and pleading for input. All chapters will be in Rich Text format thanks to MS Word's stupid incompatibility.

I'm very tired. I'm going to bed.

I thought there were some programs aimed at writers for Mac that did not exist on PC

It's possible. I LIKE Word, it does what I want it to do. However, any file I save as .doc on my Mac cannot be read as .doc on a PC. I have an RTF of my resume because of this. I had to make my PBC teacher send her study guides out in RTF because I couldn't read her .doc files either.

Odd, I presume that you are using MS office for Mac? B uses that and I haven't had any problems opening up .doc files on my MS office 2010 for Windows in my Windows VM on my Mac from him. Silly computers.

Actually, it's Microsoft Word, 2004, for mac, version 11.0 It's probably too old to be compatible. We've had this particular I-Mac for over five years and Wolf transferred the G4 (now IDK's computer) programs onto it, which is even older.

Sounds like you had a good time. I greatly admire your strength and courage for working on facing your fears.

That is awesome that you were able to work on urban fantasy novel. School/work is crazy for me now, so I won't ask for any of it at this time for critiquing, but if you need/want me to look at it at the end of this year/next year, I should be able to do it.

*hugs*

Hopefully by then I'll have MYSHSH done!
