Thinkin' about you

Hello!

My throat has been on fire for two days now. Not fun. That doesn't mean that I haven't been thinking about you, my loyal readers, though. ;-) It may be a grand delusion, but, it is nice to know that there are people "out there" that enjoy reading what I have to say. The stories in my head have been developing nicely, which means that they will be put on a Word document which means that they will find their way to you. That just sounded too cute in my head not to "pen" on this blog. In case any of you are wondering, no, I am not taking anything for the throat pain nor am I hopped up on anything. This is just a goofy side of me.

Also, I am feeling a bit like Sally at the end of "The Great Pumpkin". Trick or treating did not happen tonight because of this tonsilitis or strep throat or whatever it is. Instead, I promised David three bags of the candy of his choice when I am feeling up to driving him to the store. So, no mummy and no Cleopatra. :-( I did practice the make up though and it looked awesome (although a friend of mine said I looked like I had been in a fight).

On to more pleasant thoughts...
1) I have been filling up my mac-daddy ipod (no pun intended) with even more awesome music and I have been doing it for F-R-E-E. Free does not mean illegal either. If you want to know my trick, email me and I will tell you. It has already saved me (and my honey) a little over a thousand dollars. Seriously, it is legal so don't worry.
2) I have also been reading some "fanfiction" lately. My husband and I like the show Criminal Minds and over the summer I dreamed some pretty awesome episodes. One of my best friends used to write fanfiction in jr. high/high school and the dreams made me think of her. So, I looked up some various fanfictions and found that many of the writers are more talented than those that actually do the professional writing for various television shows. Have any of you read fanfiction or do any of you enjoy dabbling in it? I've given it a little thought and it may be something that I delve into.
3) It's always fun to get inspiration from favorite songs. I'm just sayin'. So, if you notice that I sample from song lyrics, it's only because I love them so much.

Some of God's greatest gifts are unanswered prayers, <--------- case in point!
