So originally coming off the mini-vacation/birthday fun of last weekend, I had plans to just relax and try to catch up on many fannish things this weekend. Mostly, I wanted to finish the damn story 'o doom that is just not ending...but my family has thwarted me on both days of the weekend so far.

Yesterday my mother dragged me shopping...she offered to get my luggage for my upcoming trip to LA (

winchestercon is getting closer) as I threw out my old suitcase when I moved last year. As a poor person, I could not resist the promise of free things. But we were out forever because the woman kept adding on places to go. And I'm not a mall person because most people are rude and stupid, never a good combination, and I just wanted to sleep. Gone for most of the day. I did pick up a few things - NCIS season 2 and Serenity collector's edition - on our many travels, but last night I couldn't help but wonder where my whole day went.

Then today, I was going to run to Target with my sister and then just relax, maybe get caught up on more of the stuff kicking it on my dvr. But my little bit called me to see if we could hang out. Here's the thing, as her parents damn well know, I cannot say "no" to my little bit. She's the cutest seven year old in the world and it's my job to spoil her. So she called to see if we could *finally* go see Hairspray. So we did that and then because my little bit is the only person who doesn't mock my Nsync love, we came back to my house and danced about to the No Strings Attached album. But after dropping her off and picking up some dinner, dude, it was after eight. Where the hell did my day go?

So yes, I'm about to collapse for the night because I'm tired and want to watch the last Army Wives and cry that I have to wait yet another week for more Burn Notice...but here's to hoping tomorrow I can be fannish. I miss being fannish. I feel like I haven't read fic in forever and my writing is coming at snail's pace (mostly because I keep writing these fucking stories that make War & Peace look short) - it's full of woes.

Not full of woes? The new friends I've made from
