Hello everybody. I'm a little pressed for time, but I wanted to post something since I've been absent the last few days.

I hope everyone had a wonderful weekend. Mine was busy with running Meredith around. We went shopping for boots for her on Saturday, but came home empty-handed and sore-footed. (Well, my feet were sore.)

Sunday we left home at 9:30 to get to her soccer game that was over an hour away. Her new boyfriend, Matt, came along. Mer's team won their game 8-3 - a good way to end the season. Afterward, we ALL - kids, parents, and coaches - went to Ruby Tuesdays for an end of season party. Got home around 5:30 that evening. I was very, very tired.

New boyfriend Matt:
- is cute
- is very nice
- is mature
- is responsible
- is going to the local community college, studying Criminal Justice
- has been accepted to a four-year school for next semester, but is still debating whether he wants to go there - they want to recruit him for football
- is working part-time on a farm
- wants to work as a state trooper for a few years after college, then hopes to enter the Secret Service
- was able to chat with me amiably and intelligently all day
- volunteered to replace the worn belts in my car's engine

I like him very much. Ergo, he won't last the week.

Gina and Ayla will likely kick my butt, but I have determined that I just don't have time for NaNo. I'm hopelessly behind now, and still have no concrete outline of where I want to go. So, I think I'm out. I have the two exchange fics I need to complete, and seeing as I am the slowest writer on the planet (at least the hemisphere), they will require my full writerly attention. Sorry to my NaNo buddies, if you are disappointed. I will try to plan better for next year.

I haven't totally written off my Thanksgiving trip yet, but it's getting sketchier. The pick-up needs an alternator. Blergh.

Hi Lovely Lyssie-lys! (I have no idea where that came from, I'm just being weird.)

*hugs*

It's nice to be back!

Yay for nice boyfriend and *kicks butt*! How dare you not do NaNo. I'm behind too. That's no excuse!

Hey! I told her to send you to me if she needed to...You rebel chicken! HA! :P!! *huggles*

From: [identity profile] mugglechump.livejournal.com


It's as much about not having a solid idea of what I'm writing as it is that I'll never get my word count caught up. If I had a well thought out premise and enough inspiration to get this done AND my two exchange fics done, then I'd say ok, screw the word count, I'll just plug along at my own pace. But I don't, so I'm going to focus my attention of the exchange fics because people are counting on me to have those done, and I'd feel like crap if I received a fic without putting forth the effort to live up to my end of the bargain. *sigh*

I understand the urge to butt kick, though. Go ahead, I'll take my beating.

Ohmygosh, Baby! :O!! I am rolling here at work! When I saw NEW BOYFRIEND MATT, my jaw hit the floor! HA! I was like Katie-Bugg! WHAT?? Not this soon! :O!! HAHAHAHAHAHA!! whew! You scared me there for a bit, hon! *laughhuggles* X)

Aw shucks! You can send Ayla to me...I can handle that chicken for ya! HA! ;)

Hee! No, not MY new boyfriend. I figure I ought to wait at least until I'm not sharing a bed with my husband before I find a replacement for him. *giggles*

*hugs*

For SURE! :O!! I 'bout died! HA! *hugs back...tight*

Hmm, so how old is this... Matt? Anywhere close to St. Louis *ponders*

From: [identity profile] mugglechump.livejournal.com


Matt's 18 or 19, I guess. I think he graduated last spring. I'm afraid he's nowhere near St. Louis, though. And he's currently taken, although, like I said in my post, I like him so he's not likely to be around long.

*huff* Send cute guys MY way please. I am tired of the same old losers.

Though this one guy David that I met is hillarious. He doesn't believe chivalry is dead- in fact after talking to me, when he had to leave, he bowed and then left =P

From: [identity profile] mugglechump.livejournal.com


Hee! David sounds like a decent fellow.

Chivalry isn't dead, it's just shy. You can still find it around. When you do, that's the place to hang out. It's those times that I enjoy being female.

*hugs*

I know! He is a sweetie. He is fun to talk to also. *shrug* I am not looking for anyone though. I have a hard time dealing with myself.

Mer's got a new boy toy? She's such a cutie!

It's totally okay about NaNo. I've already said you do too much. I don't need a crazy, stressed out Katie-bugs on my hands because she keeps taking on new projects and juggling RL at the same time. You just take it easy and I'll do the stressing out. There's always next year, my dear!

From: [identity profile] mugglechump.livejournal.com


Well, the crazy part can't be helped, but I could do with less stress. *hugs*

And yes, Mer's flavor of the... day? week? month? who knows... Matt's a nice kid. He looks a little older than he is, just because he's a big guy. Not overweight, but solid. Football players...

I'm liking the dot dot dots tonight...

Matt sounds almost perfect! *wills Mer to keep him for a while*

From: [identity profile] mugglechump.livejournal.com


He is pretty cool. Any kid that can spend a couple hours with his girlfriend's mom, chatting while he watches her soccer game, and not sound irritated or bored or stupid - well, he's a keeper.

From: [identity profile] luridlysteph14.livejournal.com


Aww, Kate the boy sounds perfect! Snag him!

Or better yet, show him smut_friday >.>

As for NaNo, miens stuck on 4178 words, and it's supposed to be 11670 by today. I was like "I'll catch up" but then I didn't catch up enough. Sigh. :)


From: [identity profile] mugglechump.livejournal.com


Well, Matt's a little young for me. I'll keep my fingers crossed that he and Mer date for awhile, though. *giggles*

I think you're doing great with 4178 words. I never cracked 1000.

*hugs*

From: [identity profile] luridlysteph14.livejournal.com


Her new boyfriend, Matt, came along. Mer's team won their game 8-3 - a good way to end the season.

*cough*

I was like... Isn't Kate married?

Erm, yes =)
