Yeah, parts of the floor are buckling, but I'm not going to cry about it. If it stays as it is now, it won't be so terribly expensive to fix, I hope, and we have some extra planks left from the install. I'm so determined not to whine about it. Happy stuff--I got a haircut and that made me feel better, took some money out of the bank I probably (definitely) shouldn't have, but heck. I'm getting new rugs for the kitchen because that will make me happy too. Tomorrow, I have to go to work, and I will carry on something horrible and suck up lots of pity hugs. And maybe even burst into tears for a free cup of coffee. What? Coffee's gone up by 30 cents--don't look at me like that. We do what we have to.

I'm reading MTS, I'm writing slow motion on my various fics and working on the ideas I got the other day, thanks ladies!

Oh, I was so upset I forgot to mention, if you've seen Iron Man, you know how lovely Jim Rhodes was, you saw the fondness they have for each other? Well, so did dancinbutterfly she wrote an *incredibly* lovely story about the two in younger days, Extraordinary, pre-slash, does that make it gen? Oh, it's so very good! You should read it!

Speaking of gen fic, I've gotten a terrible bug for reading gen SpN lately! I know--I put it down to my recent trauma...*tears fill eyes, lip be all wibbly---one single tear runs over plump, barely wrinkled cheek...* Gosh...gosh I...think I'd feel better with a smidge of caffeine in me. *sniff*

Ah? Ah?

Thank you so much for the rec. Have you read the recent Ironman stories by hackthis? She's an absolutely fantastic writer.

oh, i'm so sorry about the buckling. that's a real shame. hope the fixing is easy and not too pricey.

coffee at the diner is $1.99, but they keep refilling it as long as i want them to. still, that's a lot of money for coffee. i remember sitting in a steakhouse near campus, buying no steak, just coffee, and refilling from their pot till i got tachycardia, for 25 cents. (this is one of the perqs of being old, telling stories like this. *g*)

LMAO!!!!

Right! I'm really steamed because for the last year at work, I've been paying 52 cents (senior discount) now the bastards raised it to 80 cents! It's the only benefit I had at Tarjay! And no, *shifty-eye* we won't ask how I get the senior discount five years early....

*slurps*

It was goooood, right? *beams*

If it's too expensive, I'm moving in with you. *G*

[rosy5000.livejournal.com]

lol I'll let my parents, nephew, cat and dog all know. We'll make room. lol

*HUGS* I'm sorry about the floor.

I don't have a coffee icon but I do have tea. And you could always put something a little harder in it. ;)

SpN fic! Yes, write that! Help me with mine. We can brainstorm and stuff! :D

[roxymissrose.livejournal.com]

okay! We can brainstorm! I'm very bad at it, but I can try! *g*

[selinamoonfire.livejournal.com]

Mostly, I need someone to say "That's a bad idea." Jay will never tell me if something needs work or if I should bury it in a very deep hole and never look at it again. LOL

[roxymissrose.livejournal.com]

hmmmm...I do tend to be a bit of a weeny, but what the heck! Do you want to send me something?

[selinamoonfire.livejournal.com]

I'd really appreciate the help! LOL What I was planning to do is post something about "Ok, who wants to tell me if this sucks?" then throw out ideas in one of those nifty custom filters. That way it can be sort of a free for all of crack!

[roxymissrose.livejournal.com]

oh, sounds great--I like that way of doing it!
