I've been so busy lately that I've barely had time for fandom or anything. I miss you all and I miss playing here. One of the things that has been keeping me occupied on the weekend is some redecorating and with that comes LOTS of cleaning. I got some new furniture and it's been exciting.
( yada yada yada )

Anyway, all this whining brings me to my goal. I want to jump back into fandom fun and I can't think of a better way to do that then by celebrating one of the best seasons and holding a contest. So please, please, please sign up and let's have some good ole fashioned silly fandom fun!

FALL CONTEST


And if you read all that, you deserve a reward and I can't think of a better one.

*grouses*

*mumbles*

*grrrrrrrr*

Mondays suck! Especially Mondays when you get out of bed to cover something for a colleague AND SHE GAVE YOU THE WRONG DATE!!!!!!!!!!!! I could have slept in a bit and came to play with all of you. But nooooo, instead, I'm in court looking like an idiot.

So when I finally untangle the mess, I went shopping. Retail therapy helped a bit. I bought this jacket:


and brown slacks with a matching sleeveless camisole.

And this:


And I bought a cheap pantsuit that was on clearance. I'm still cranky. I think maybe, perhaps, just possibly, I need some porn. Can anyone help me?

I'm doing my trial prep for Wednesday like a good little attorney when a HUGE wrench is thrown into the mix.

I can't get into too many specifics, but let's just say that I have to get this trial adjourned for the benefit of my client and I'm not sure I can do it. It's such a MESS.

I'll only feel better if everyone on my flist signs up to do something for this contest:


Otherwise, I might not survive this week!

I had such a great day today until I got home and started to try to clean up all this mess of paperwork from when I was really sick.

Now, I'm cranky and everything is causing me angst. grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

or I'll have to spank you ( so says the great God Kinney via Tweak) *giggles*

I'll especially have to spank you if you don't submit something to qafmaniac for the SPANK ME challenge at qaf_scavenger. Just because I'm taking a back seat on this one doesn't mean that you guys get off the hook. I expect some delicious goodies on Friday night. :P

In other news, I had a delightful lunch with shadownyc yesterday. We spent hours chatting about all sorts of things. It was a great visit and I'm so glad she had to come to town for a conference. She's even more sweet in person than she is online. ;)

HELP ME!!!! Since it seems that Franklin Covey is now on my boycott list, I'm lost. I've used this company since law school, that's like 15 years. I think I'm going to be lost without my beautiful leather burgundy planner and my blossoms inserts. I love my monthly tabs and my daily pages. *sobs* Does anyone know if there's another refill that will fit a compact Franklin planner? Can anyone recommend a different brand?

Pumpkin Carving Contest: As soon as outlander and I can be online together, we'll post the creators and the winners.

I just wanted to remind everyone that tracking on IJ works now so you can follow discussions via email instead of bouncing back and forth. Just click on the thumbtack. I find this feature very useful for stalking. *snickers*

Looking for a laugh? Then you must must must check this out. If you're not in the need of laughter, go look anyway. Do it for me.

Also, if you've missed zortrana's crack!fic masterpiece, you can find it HERE.

Porn tonight...I'm excited. However, I also feel guilty because I didn't write anything. I just couldn't make it work. I'm sure it's all connected to my mood swings these days. :(

( off the top of the head ramblings pertaining to just about everything )

I'm feeling a little overwhelmed today. I can't seem to shake this weird sadness that seems to have wrapped itself around my heart. It's weird because there's nothing new going on in my life, just the same old BS, so I'm at a loss about why I feel this heavy sadness.

Plus the weather here is freaky and it's making my sinuses go BONKERS and I'm just waiting for my head to explode.

Also, IJ's slowness is annoying the fuck out of me and normally I wouldn't care but my emotions are all over the place.

Thank you to everyone who has voted at iconics (if you haven't yet, don't worry, voting is open for a week). :)

I made some great (IMO) recs at qaf_retread and qaf_crackfic and I hope you guys enjoy them.

Now, having said all that, I'm going to take the day/night off. I don't feel very social and I don't want to spread whatever this is around too much.

I'll be back tomorrow for the announcement at qaf_repixed (I put up the third lameass hint earlier).

NOOOO

I don't want to go. BLAH. I have to go meet a client and then attend a BORING, STUPID seminar. And I don't wanna.

I want to stay home and write drabbles about friends so that Justin can win this week.

1. I still haven't read any of the fics at bj_action.
2. I have little to no desire to play online.
3. I have no desire to decorate Halloween Corner. sobs and sobs. I even went into a Halloween USA store to absorb the feeling of Halloween and didn't buy anything. Not one eyeball, not one decoration, not even the bloody body parts they had packaged like meat. :(((((((((

WHAT IS WRONG WITH ME?

I missed a couple of birthdays too. First, qafmaniac, I hope you had a fabulous day. You are generous, kind spirited, and such a lovely person. You deserve nothing but the best. I adore you! ♥
