The Wildly Eclectic Me

Listening to: Cartoon Heros by Aqua...Yes, I like Aqua! You got a problem with that? hehe I dragged Bryon and Nicky to Target this morning and got Nicky three new pairs of shorts. He has SOOOOO many t-shirts. Now he actually has something to wear them with. Other than jeans of course. Now I'm sitting on the swing in the backyard watching Nicky stare in complete and utter awe at the riding lawnmower go by. I love that my internet reaches the backyard!!!

Listening to: This Kiss by Faith Hill I was going to visit my parents and go fishing this weekend, but it looks like its going to rain like crazy tomorrow which would prohibit fishing and make driving a nightmare, so it's a no go. I guess I'll just have to get my darling husband to help me come up with a new design for my homepage. I think he has some ideas for including some of my 3d art. That'll be fun. Lishy and I are going to Bath Junkie this afternoon to mix up our long overdue empty bottles of stuff. I'm trying to decide what to put in mine, but it's too darn hard! At least I know what color it'll be. I am a firm believer in the color pink. *looks around at her blogger template* Which is probably pretty obvious. :) Off to work on Fiona while the munchkin naps.

My little guy has a tendency to bring me all the stones in the yard while we are outside and as a Mommy I am forced to graciously accept them as the most amazing finds in the history of time. So naturally I take them and inspect them in depth and then chunk them over the fence toward the drive way. Now I live in the mountains and we have a few rocks (read: millions). So by about the 100th time he's done it in a ten minute period my rock inspection skills have somewhat dwindled. However, today Nicholai brought me a really neat rock that looked like it was compressed sea floor sediment with tons of little fossils in it. So I thought awww too cute and stuffed it in my pocket to keep for him to play with later (read: try to eat). So the next time he brought me a rock, approximately ten seconds later, I looked at it and low and behold more fossils. So obviously my child is gifted and meant to discover a skeleton that will tell us everything we ever wanted to know about every extinc...

A PINK 125 Genuine Buddy to be exact! My best scooter buddy tipped me off on this scooter ages ago. I know what you're thinking... And its not JUST because it's pink! It's also got a lot more umph than my little Metro. It'll get up to about 60 MPH. Now I don't plan on cruising the highways on my scooter so why do I need to be able to go 60? Because sometimes you need to be able to get the heck out of the way. I'll need a motorcycle license before I can actually drive it, because in Arkansas if it's over 75 cc's you need one. I'm thinking I'll take the motorcycle safety class that the local community college does. Of course, I can't afford my buddy now so it really doesn't matter, but hey its good to dream! I actually saw one of these for real the other day! There is a place in town that sells them. I didn't even realize it, until I saw this adorable pink scooter sitting out in front of the place. I squealed quite loudly and...

On the advice of someone more knowledgeable than I , I'm going to be redoing my webpage. She suggested putting in sample chapters for all the books you've got out there submitting. While I'd considered this in the past I wasn't sure if it would be frowned upon by editors and agents alike so I didn't. They'll be up as soon as I can get the chance to wrangle my hubby into helping me. I'm also going to be adding a gallery with my favorite 3d stuff. On a more personal note, I've been up since 3:45 AM!!! My darling boy decided it was time for me to get the heck out of bed and take him to the living room to play. So my husband should just remember those blissful hours of sleep that I allowed him when I go asking for help with my page. :-D

I took one of my favorite images and put it on an assortment of products at CafePress. For the Not-So-Well-Behaved Woman is now open!!! Enjoy

Okay, I've been trying to work on two novels at one time this past week, but I've decided I get WAY too much into it to do that. The characters are alive all the time in my mind and when I've got two main characters competing for my attention at once...Well lets just say that this could go horribly wrong! I think I can work on plotting for more than one at once just not the actual writing. Plotting is more about details than emotions and it's the emotions and personalities that get me all confused. Fiona and Marie (from Blood and Violets) are two utterly different personalities. Now you may say what about the other characters in your novel, Lesley? Don't they get all confused too? Well not usually. My heros do occasionally intrude on the party in my head but generally its just me and the heroines planning how to make their lives difficult. ;-D So who won the tug of war? Fiona. Because while it would make the most logical sense to work on Blood and Violets, ...
