browncoat2x2Today was a fine day at work, for once.
Makin' up for my horrible
"all-day-Annual-General-Meeting-from-hell-
with-food-that-made-me-sick-the-next-day,"
today was a nice 'pot-luck-y' get together with our neighbouring department. Good on the Spousal Unit for suggesting this on Wednesday. Yay! We did nachos, lots of insanely sweet easter candy, and grapes (my futile attempt at being healthy - don't worry, I don't believe any grapes were actually *harmed* today ;o) Also had samosas, pecan pie, little fruity turnover things, some little bread slice things with salmon sushi (tried one, but nope, still not a fan, unfortunately... and I *so* wanted to be cool, too!) little tarts and tea! Made for a very nice early lunch.
Spent the rest of the day *tryin'* desperately to write more of Choices, and when that didn't come, tryin' to write for the ff_friday challenge (Redux week is too hard... I simply *cannot* choose when there are soo many options) I *did* however fire off 550 words for the NES for taramonk so that's somethin'. And it was fun too! I had to stop myself, since we're tryin' to limit each part. It's been *so* long since I've had a NES partner, I'm very excited!
So, still stuck behind that gorram wall that's blockin' me from the rest of Choices. Perhaps it's self-doubt? I get plenty of comments when I post my work, but there's always that one person you want to comment, I don't know why, and when that person doesn't leave a comment, you feel like something is wrong with your fic... Notice how I've switched to third person to distance myself? Nope. Not talkin' 'bout myself at all am I?
On a happier note, I wore my 'fighting elves' Jayne shirt today. This is my very favourite shirt. And, in the t-shirt department, several people have asked if I'd sell my home-made Firefly shirts; I've been considering it. But I've been workin' on figurin' out what works best, and what kind of quality I can get with the equipment I've got first, not to mention, tryin' to find a Candian supplier of wholesale t-shirts that don't cost a fortune! But, after our St. Paddy's day party / Bros. In Law's B-Day party, had a friend commission two shirts on the spot! (not firefly related unfortunately - she doesn't have tv, but I keep tellin' her about this great little show... I'll get her watchin' eventually) One is to read 'Skate Like a Girl' and have a maple leaf, maybe a hockey stick or something, which she wishes to wear when she goes to China soon (How sad is that? Going to China and not even a gorram Browncoat to really appreciate it!) She wants that to be her 'yay Canadian Women's Hockey' shirt. And the other is to read "I fling poo" for a friend of hers. Should be fun to design!!
Conjure that's about all I have to update today. I hope to make the Canadian Browncoats chat tonight, I've missed the last who knows how many fridays and haven't chatted with my friends there in far too long, plus it's SPG's birthday!
Have a shiny weekend!
