Lookin' For Love In All the Wrong Places
I have joined some new Yahoo groups this week. A member of D's group lost a family member this week and we haven't done any posting on the group. I've been feelin' lonely so I went in search of a new group to take my mind off myself. I found a very nice group just for ladies which is nice and different. Right now we're all writing about our favorite tv shows.
I've been workin' on a short series for D's group. D has gotten me into writing stories that include animals and insects. He does that in stories for his brothers, so I've decided to try my hand at it too. At least with this kind of writin' I don't have to worry about bein' exactly accurate on everything. And it's fun.
The story I'm doin' is entitled CSI DRAGON: THE CASE OF THE MURDERED TOMATO PLANT. I thought it would be fun to do a CSI story. I'm doin' it in small segments, like one small section at a time. I can't say one page or one chapter at a time, because sometimes it's less than either of those. And sometimes it's more. It just depends on what ideas flow out. I've written four parts to it so far. I think it's goin' pretty well.
I have a problem with starting stories and then never completing them because my mind suddenly goes blank and I can't think how to continue on with it. I hope that I will be able to finish this one up. I should. It's not too complicated. And I've even laughed at it myself as I write.
I have added a couple more dvds to my collection. I've purchased sets 4 and 5 of a Poirot collection from Amazon. It has 12 sets altogether and each set contains 3 one hour long movies. I finally got my dvd player hooked up and working so I can watch my dvds again. I'm so happy for that.
HB has got to get out of my bed. She's taking up too much room and crowding me out. Hahahaha! Last night she was at the foot of the bed right under where my feet were. I nearly kicked her off the bed a couple of times and I couldnt' really relax with her there anyway.
Last night before I went to bed, HB was lying at the foot of the bed right at the edge. She decided to stretch out but her body was aimed in the wrong direction. You should have seen the look on her face when she stretched out and nearly fell off the bed. She scrabbled around and managed to catch the end of the comforter with her claws and righted herself. She looked like she felt really dumb when she was back on the bed again. I laughed at her and she squinted her eyes. I know she was saying, "Yeah, she who laughs first, laughs last next time."
I did fall out of the bed one night. I didn't even know I was that near to the edge of the bed until I was fallin' out. When I hit the floor I looked up to see HB lookin' down at me from where she had been sleepin'. I had to laugh at the look on her face. It was as if she was thinkin': "And what have you been drinkin'?" I'm sure she must have thought that humans should have been born with claws to hold onto things with.
