I had to stop watching to take care of the grands, and I received a bit of bad news from one of my clients. I'm no longer working for TempoX.net. Long story. But, they were the penny a word client. My other client pays 2 cents a word. But he's not that frequent. Still, I have had contact with a few interested companies, but you know the red tape. Sigh. But, I'm not discouraged.

Anyway, the Omen 2 is just so sinister. It's not the gory stuff we see today, though there is a very mild amount, extremely mild. It's just plain good story telling without the necessity for oodles of blood. The young man who plays Damien is charming and chilling. His reaction to finding out he was "the beast" of revelations after being told by his platoon leader to read chapter 13 of Revelations was excellent. It paralleled the story of Jesus when he asked God to let "this cup pass from me" when he realized his purpose. The deaths all around him are frightening. You can tell who's going to be offed when they realize who Damien is and try to tell it. Such a good movie. Here's the link again

With evil Damien. I need to watch a dark kid right now. My head's so tight. Here's the link if anyone wants to watch this classic.

Not an easy writing day. Chi didn't tell me that she was going to Montgomery to pick up Cheyenne, Jamie's daughter. So, I've been watching the kids all day. It's raining so they can't go outside and are restles, fighting, just doing normal kid things that are breaking my flow. Sigh. But I'm halfway through the chapter, spurt writing. I hope I can finish it tonight.

Really. I heard him say "hello." His name is ccino. He's a Gorden Setter. I was amazed and enthralled. Oh, and J* is nice too. lol :::waves::: I just thought that was so cool. I've seen/heard talking dogs before on television and on youtube, but they sound garbled. Ccino's hello was clear as a bell.

I really think he's a familiar. Don't be surprised if a talking dog pops up in one of my fanfics. :) Probably the familiar of a witch named J*

I always love that scenario. I do it more now since DH. The idea of Hermione rocking young Snape's world is rather exciting for me, and daunting at the same time. But she's not the least bit retiring here, which I like. Let's see what comes of it next chapter.

Dell comes in and tells me she was two minutes late and they wouldn't let her in. I was like noooo.

Then she said, "No! I got in!" She did the interview with 4 other people and they are supposed to call this evening to let her know if they are interested. However, the guy she was with never mentioned he had gastric surgery which brought him down from six hundred to 300 pounds and Dell went with the "buddy system." If he gets disqualified she may too. But, the reason she did it was because the focus was on "buddies" Friends, family etc. And she says she'll his ass behind if she has to.

Cool beans. Everyone keep their fingers crossed and send good vibes her way. She gave her home number and my number too.

I still suck at taking pics but it's still kind of cute because Dante looks like he's smiling. :))

lolol. Seriously. They were tagteaming the crap out of me with the crying, so you know what I did. First I thought about it. They spent more time with each other in the womb than out of it, so they're used to having someone right there . . .

So, I folded a blanket up on the couch, rested it over the sleeve and put the two little munchkins down, facing each other.

worked . . . like . . . a . . . charm. They look so cute and are sooooo quiet. Sleeping like angels. Now I can go back to writing. :)

People can be so trifling. Not Dell (this time) but the guy she rode with to the "Biggest Loser" auditions. They get there. The line is only about 20 feet long and the guy says, "They're not going to let me in because I had the gastric" He's still 300 lbs. He says, "Let's just drive around a while."

So Dell comes here in her own car, telling me the auditions go on until 6:00. I said, "Take your own car and go back."

She says, "I don't want to ride there by myself."

She's like that. Sometimes she calls me 12 at night to ask me to ride with her to Walmart. Hell, Walmart is closer than I am. I lit into her but good. I told her she needs to stop counting on other people to "come for the ride" and learn to do things for herself. If she had taken her own car instead of riding with the idiot, she would have been there. She was like, but I'm so stressed, Ruthie.

I fished out my paypal card. I have a little more than 15 dollars on it. I gave it to her.

"Put 15 dollars worth of gas in your car and go, Dell. I really want you to go. That's everything I have to my name and I'm willing to give it to you so you'll just go for it. Please."

She just left for Mobile. I don't know if she'll be accepted, but that doesn't matter. I want her to try. At least try. It's worth my last to know she did something herself for herself. I'm keeping my fingers crossed.

(Yeah, I know I complain about her a lot, but she's still my sister.)

I had both babies in one arm and had to hold my webcam with my TEETH. lol. Just wanted to give y'all a quick look at what I'm dealing with here. And Shante, I tested her. She was crying in her car seat. I put her in there because she wanted to be propped up. But I went over to her and just looked at her. Didn't make any cooing noises or anything. And she looked at me, then shut up.

"Aha!" I told her. "There's nothing wrong with you at al! You just want attention!"

Of course I picked her up. Anyway, here is the collage. My webcam settings must be on tiny:

put one to sleep the other wakes up but i'm up to 1800 words 400 more will make a fair chapter

high maintenance baby here debra gets off work at 4 so I'm going to wait

If they are smart, they'll take her. If they want drama, someone that will bitch, moan argue but work hard, they need to put Dell on the show. I have fingers and toes crossed for her. I really think she could make it. She's something else. So everyone cross their fingers. :)

working at it y'all. Tay and Tweet are helping me with the twins. I figure I'd better write now because they are going to a birthday party this afternoon.

Mia and Ferporcel who are betaing my fanfic "Through the Looking Glass." I would have never made it there myself. I have a kind of defeatist attitude when it comes to moderated sites. I don't know how well anything I've written will do over there, but I guess we'll find out. Thanks Mia and Ferporcel. You both sure know how to put the flames to the robes. lol.

Debra goes back to work tomorrow, and I will be taking care of the twins. I also have morning duty with the other 4 until their parents get up. It's like that every morning. But Mimi and Malik went home. I'm soooo glad. lol. Seven is fine and healing nicely. They did the skin grafts and he doesn't seem any worse for wear. Mimi was biting everything and every one that moved. I love my grands but it's been a bit overwhelming. I've got to get back into the groove of taking care of little babies. I'll adapt. I always do.

This came to me after responding to Snapealicious' post. :)
