After sending Caramon to school with a packed lunch he requested and a check for a new lunch ticket… I goofed off with Joram. Shhh don’t tell anyway. We had some fun playing this morning. And I discovered he has two slightly loose teeth. Well that led to some prancing around thinking he’s HOT STUFF. He hasn’t lost any yet… hehe. He just wants to be included. Darned boy wants to grow up too fast!!

So anyway we had some major giggles. Then I sat down to try to write. But got a bit distracted and we ended up playing a game where he was head chef. He made me stew!!. MMMMM I like a yummy stew. And then there was raspberry lemonade. Doesn’t that sound tasty? He gave me several bowls of stew. I told him my tummy was very happy because his stew was sooooo good. Then he made me shrimp! MMM I definately like shrimp! Finally we ended up with chocolate brownie surprise. (It had a happy face!) The best part was when I was able to kiss the chef. i had to pay for my yummy make believe food with kisses! Well I can sure afford that too!

After lunch we walked up to the bus stop. It was a beautiful temperature today. Of course still cloudy as anything so no hops of seeing Mars fighting the Moon for airspace! I’d have loved to go for a bike ride but I was a good girl and came home to be manic trivia girl at JU. Running that Friends Trivia is a blast but boy do I race on Thursday afternoons! We went through 11 cards… that’s 55 trivia questions!!

This evening while the kids were at their activity I stopped by the bank to make a deposit. Thank goodness we had an extra paycheck come here before the direct deposit started! It’s going to help out a lot!! Then it was Kroeger. i got daring. I picked up these already prepared stuffed turkey things. Broccoli or something inside? I don’t remember. Sounds pretty neat. Also I didn’t get pre-seasoned fish fillets… I actually got a package of actual fish. Something that starts with a T? Not tuna. Tilipa? I don’t know. I also picked up little smokies because the boys loved those when I made them last month. So hopefully we’ll have some interesting meals this week!!

Finally… novel news. There is none. *SIGH* I tried… I’ve got only one paragraph of chapter 7. I need to get to work. HAHA But I’ve been a little tired. Last night I was going to go to bed at a decent time but this guy pops into chat and he’s all like “Check out this game!!” So I ended up trapped in the Crimson Room. My brain, stuck in a puzzle, just had to finish it!!

I’m going to go to bed soon. Hopefully I will get some rest and be able to really write tomorrow. I can’t believe the progress I’ve made this week. I had only finished 1-4 and had just barely started 5. Now look at me!!! WOOHOO. It will be good to have this done!! So I need to really just work hard for a bit and finish it out.

I’m hoping that I was just tired today. I mean I actually have a plan for chapter 7. I know what’s to happen. I just have to write it! That’s better than where I was for chapter 6!! HAHA Chapter 7 is when you get a surprise. Well really a big event leading up to chapter 8’s surprise. MWahahahaha. So I even know what’s going to happen in chapter 8 too. Or at least… a glimmer of an idea. As you know, you start off saying “Joe is going to go to the restaurant” and the next thing you know he’s done 15 other things while there! It kind of just grows and expounds!

OK… off to get ready to wrap up things and get ready for bed. Perhaps to see if I can add another at least paragraph or two for the book.
