I have to write this down

Okay, so here's my motivation to lose weight. Alot of it, and quickly.

Little Bit got finished eating and says, "Sissy, I'm s-o-o-o full, my belly is s-o-o-o big. Just like Mommy's."

Okay, going to get the treadmill tonight, by hook or by crook. Enough talking, now I'm walking.

Hugs,
Melinda

Stuck

I'm stuck. I don't know what to say, not here, not there, not anywhere.

I've gotten addicted to this game called Kingdoms Live. It's a massive multiplayer online roleplaying game, otherwise known as a MMPORPG. It's an app that I got for my iPod touch. I love it because it's fairly easy to play and understand, and I get to pretend. :D

My problem is that I've created this forest called Evendar. You can read more about it here. This is the unofficial blog for the "bards" of this realm, of which I am now a contributing author. My alternate name is Miranna.

I really, really, REALLY want to write a new story of Evendar, but I'm stuck. I'm afraid part of the problem is that I've read so much fantasy that all the stories are starting to run together, and I'm afraid I won't tell anything original. Part of the problem is that I have an idea in my head, but I keep forgetting it... LOL I also can't seem to get it to move beyond the first opening lines.

So, what I need from you, all five faithful readers, is questions. I need you to spur me on, and ask me all about Evendar. Help me come up with a new story.

And for the record, this isn't for the game as much as it is for the opportunity to have a creative outlet, to write and to be recognized as being somewhat talented. ROFLOL

Anxiously awaiting your responses,
Hugs,
Melinda

Ice Cream Social Day

***And the winner is.... (drumroll please) .... Ruthie and Giggles!*** Since you ladies were the only ones to play, you will both win. Could you please send me a mailing address, and tell me if you can get Blue Bunny ice cream where you live? Thanks for playing!


Today's the day! Today is the day to submit a picture of your Ice Cream Challenge Quilt. You can either e-mail me a picture at mghollis 38 at msn dot com or you can leave a link to your quilt in the comments. I'm so excited to see what everyone came up with! :D

Hugs,
Melinda

P.S. Special thank you to Ruthie who reminded me that it was today and not NEXT Monday. Her's is the first one submitted.

Science Kit Giveaway

Homeschool Creations is having a giveaway. Go here to see all the details, but the short version is that All Children's Furniture is not just furniture.

My brain's not in gear yet. Otherwise, I'm sure I'd be more verbal about this. lol

Hugs,
Melinda

I'm going to have trouble waiting.....

And yet, this is also why I can't let my 10 year old read the books.... yet.

New Moon Trailer

[eta] Well, apparently, someone got upset that the trailer is all over the internet. Here is the link to Stephanie Meyer's website. The New Moon trailer is currently in the second post.
