It snowed here today, not enough to be serious, but it’s supposed to be the start of more. Currently waiting for the children to come home and watching a cartoon they’re not allowed to see.
I’ve been working on my fairy tales and dreaming up some new uses for old things. It’s been going pretty good so far and I’ve been having a lot of fun.
I reloaded ScribeFire Classic. The new ScribeFire was very unhappy making, and since WordPress changed their settings so Semagic doesn’t work, I had to find something that would 🙁
ScribeFire has never been my favorite, but sometimes you have to make sacrifices to what works, even if it is slow and ungainly and a pain to use.
Anyways, back to writing.
I’ve been trying my hand at watercolor painting. It has not been going well at all 🙁 While I have the eye of a great artist, I have the drawing/painting skills of a less than third grader. It is very sad.
There’s so many things I want to be able to do, so I get kind of sad when I try my best and it doesn’t come out very well. Still, I’m going to keep at it and hopefully I’ll find some kind of skill at it. If not, at least I’ll have enjoyed myself.
The house currently reeks of roasting turkey and Kahluah is going crazy.
We got a phone call from the half-brother I haven’t spoken to in close to 10 years. That’s pretty crazy right there. Crazy awkward, but good crazy too.
I guess the holidays really are about coming together. Though the kids are still a couple of jerks and next year is going to be different. Less presents if they’re going to keep acting so bad, and more time outs if they’re going to be such gigantic spoiled brats.
Anyways, it’s the holidays again, and even amidst the chaos and yelling, it’s still a time of family and all that jazz. So have a happy holiday and a wonderful New Year.
