Making my own bookmarks

So, to cut down on costs of the all expensive promo stuff, I've decided to make my own bookmarks. No...wait. Let me go back. I don't want to always write about my writing. That's kind of boring. Let me start the day off as I started it off. I woke up, my husband, who is my alpha male, was very mad that I woke him up at 9 on his day off. Next, I sat down to write. I only got a couple thousands words out, but i finished the chapter while listening to Theory of a Dead Man "Bad Girlfriend." It's sorta of my anthem. Next, I went fishing at my little pond and cuaght four blue gill, however, I"m pretty sure there is an alligator and her babies living there. Okay, seriously, when you rent property, they should disclose there are gators in the pond.

Afterward, my husband and I went to Statesboro, of course, having to lock Ranger up, and I hate to do that. When we got to town, we went to Petsmart, my favorite place in the world. Do you know why? Chinchilla's! I've been wanting one for some time, but my husband says you have a dog, three cats and two gerbils. You cannot have a chinchilla. I, on the other hand, want two of every animal ever made, that way I can have my own ark. The problem is, I have only the same sex. Two boy gerbils, three female cats and a boy dog.

Then of course, we went to see Wolverine, which of course, begrudgedly I say I liked. Then onto Hobby Lobby. My friend Robyn said it's a great place to go, and I fell in love the moment I walked in. Whicker furniture, black wood and all kinds of crafts. My husband is an artist as well as soldier, so he didn't mind.

I picked up everything that I needed for my bookmarks, and I did a mock up tonight. It turned out alright. At least now I know what i have to do to make it look better. Anyhow, I thought I'd share with you a day in the life of Teirney. It's not too exciting, but hey, I like it.

Monday Morning Blues

I had hoped to hear back from the WRP today, however, my inbox didn't bring me happy news. Still nothing. The waiting game sucks, but it's still early in the day. I may just get something yummy later, or even later this week.

So, I'm not one to put much faith in my horoscope, I mean, really, but I did get a career horoscope that said I should look over contracts carefully on Apr 10th or something like that. I admit along with not changing my nail polish since I got the first email from the senior editor, and it's all chipped and yucky, (I'm a bit superstious), it made me happy. Btw, I hate looking at chipped nail polish, it's black on top of that, and I like red better. The husband and I went out, and i wore all black, so I did my nails black. Phewy.

Heres a little secret about me: Don't laugh. Well, you can laugh, it's actually kind of silly...but when I'm writing the erotic scenes for Ivory's Addiction, I have to put on red lipstick. Don't ask, but something about the red lipstick screams BAD to me, and when trying to pound out a heartracing, getting down and dirty scene, I need some back up. I also have to listen to r and b music, because let's face it, rock and metal are good for Jax's internal monologue, but for getting busy, Usher, 112 and Ginuwine take the cake. They've got some good baby-making music. I guess you could call it getting into character!


Happy news: One of my bf's had a baby over the weekend. She was in labor for thirty hours and I cannot wait to see the little bundle of joy.

Future news: Sean and I are getting ready to PCS, and that means, permanent change of station, and we're headed to GA. I had a horrible nightmare last night we were put in this dingy housing and someone broke into our house, and I cut the guys head off, and do not ask me why, but once I did, the head told me I had to carry it around with me. So, I was looking for a ziplock bag to stick this shrinking head into (yes it got smaller and smaller) to freeze it. I held with the very tips of my fingers, and everytime I noticed blood on my nails I would drop it and the thing would freak out! I don't know...no more late night caps.

oh, the joys of being a military family.

I wonder what the head shrinker will say about that dream!

Oh, and I woke up this morning with pixe sleeping on my hair, pumpkin on my stomach, and snickers behind my legs. I was pinned. Don't you hate when that happens? I hated to disturb them, and they twitched their tales several times. Happy to report: They all fell back to sleep immediately.
