Let's start with happiest birthday wishes to [livejournal.com profile] lostt1, [livejournal.com profile] jenadamson, and [livejournal.com profile] mkitty3! Each of you is a wonderful person and I'm so glad to have gotten to know you through livejournal. I hope your days are fabulous and full of pampering. I was going to mail Jared Padalecki to y'all, but I got distracted...er...

Yesterday was basically a waste of a day for me. I have so much I need to get done before we move into the house at the end of the August. Alas, I woke up with the sinus headache of doom. I used my neti pot like three times, sat with a warm compress over my eyes, and then slept all but about five hours of my day away. Yeah, I accomplished a lot.

Today has been better. I have a slight residual headache, but nothing I can't work through. So I've gotten some laundry done, did the dishes, and started going through my clothes. I'm a fiend, my friends. I buy so many things and still wear about like 1/4 of my entire wardrobe. But this simplifying thing is really hard. I keep coming up with excuses to keep everything. "I could need this!" or "If I lose 10lbs this will fit again!" And I am trying to lose weight again - back on the Weight Watchers cult express - but it seems silly to keep tons of clothes.

There is not nearly enough good fic centered around Edmund and Lucy from Chronicles of Narnia and they are my two favorite characters from the books. Tons of Peter and Susan fic, but where is the Edmund and Lucy stuff?

My sister finished with Stephenie Meyer's new book, Host, so I'm hoping to get to that some time this week. I'm so behind on my reading. I'm currently reading Scahill's book on Blackwater and while it's interesting (and quite horrifying), it's a rather dry read. So I keep coming up with excuses to stop reading.

Hopefully this week goes fast at work. I have to train a new temp again. We have a Board meeting. And it's a short week. Please go fast. Please.

And then it's a long weekend. On Friday I'm supposed to go to the shore, but it's going to be so crowded. I might just opt for a movie with the boy and friends, if I can convince them that sailing is dumb (not likely). And then Saturday, I'm meeting up with [livejournal.com profile] benitle to go to one of my favorite places, the Constitution Center. And then on Sunday I'll be saying, "Where did my weekend go?" Such is the cycle.

So very sleepy. I have another sinus infection and the meds just knock me off my feet. I'd really like to understand why sinuses are so necessary rather than having my doctor chuckle at me every time I grumble about these stupid things. Apparently, living in Jersey = very bad sinuses/allergies no matter what.

While I was wallowing at home, my sister went over to the inspection on the house we're buying. Overall, nothing major except carpentar ants (::shudders::) that the current owners are dealing with before settlement. Oh, this adult stuff is hard and scary and I've signed over my soul and...eep.

Do you think I can hire Jared and Jensen to come pack for me? And to do it shirtless?

The thing I have found about fic in both David Cook RPS (yes, I'm a complete and utter LOSER! I accept this!) and Chronicles of Narnia fandom is that a lot of it is WIPs. Like a major fuckton of WIPs. And I just don't read those. I wait until a long story is done. Because I know how I have been in the past with WIPs (who's still waiting for chapter updates on Trouble In My Head?) and I understand how authors get distracted or busy or just bored with their own stories...so I'm afraid of getting sucked in for the story to never finish.

But it makes it rather hard to find decent fic to read in the interim. And even when the WIPs are done, I'm not sure I have a lot of time to invest in a 41 chapter story.

I've been spoiled by Supernatural fandom. there is so much fic produced on a daily basis that there's something for everyone.
