    Good conversations abound, with siblings, husband, friends, ex-loves.  I like them!

    News:

    1. I will be applying to work as a contract editor for Ellora's Cave, an erotic romance novel publishing company.  As I understand it, contract editing would be grueling work - long hours but getting paid per word.  On the up-side, I love editing!, erotica is fun, and I can do this job from anywhere. Hope that I: a) get an initial test edit and b) kick the test edits' asses!
    2. My husband's tonsils look like raspberries, but he's happy.  I'm happy.  He works 60 hours a week.  Loves both jobs but not so pleased with one of the nazi-managers.  Maybe when I move down there he'll quit the job that's making him sick and we can start doing homemaking hoo-ah (I'm thinking "picking out furniture," not "making babies" here).
    3. Oh yeah, Happy New Year!
    4. Last night my roommate and I made a really good dinner out of a box - a Homestyle Tuna Helper off-brand to which we added broccoli.  I was impressed!  I want more!  Evan also made a killer smoothie, and then we went to see Batman Begins at the dollar theater.  I really enjoyed it.  Gary Oldman, Liam Neeson, Michael Caine, and Morgan Freeman win.  So do all of the other actors and Katie Holmes (poor thing).  I didn't realize Katie Holmes was in the movie and married to Tom Cruise until halfway through, but during the first half (forgive me) Christian Bale looked a bit Cruise-ish.
    5. Tonight I pick up my wedding pictures!
    6. Tomorrow Caro and I make chicken soup, eat moderate amounts of candy, and have a stitch'n'bitch!
    7. Then I spend the night.
    8. Then after work on Friday I drive "home," where my heart is - Steve, my brother, my sister, my parents, my dog.
    9. <--- one of my favorite numbers (along with 4)
    10. Do it again!

    So you would be editing contracts, but not the erotica?

    I am rather enjoying the Ender saga.  I read Enders game years ago but only recently developed a desire to read it again..and in doing so, found myself appreciating it more than I could have when I was thirteen and thus the series has been one I have been working on for a few months.  I really appreciate the depth of the last couple of books, especially "Children of the Mind" which I am only about three chapters into but already inspired by the dialogue and emotional intensity taking place.

    Oh, how exciting!!! Editing erotica would be totally fun and awesome. I'd be totally excited if you got it. Is Steve gonna go to the doctor? I hope he's ok. I can't wait for you to come over tomorrow. I'm thinking of getting the bbc Pride and Prejudice from the library tomorrow. I feel as if I've neglected you lately. My back has been pretty achy and gross so I've not been at the computer too much. I hope you are well and I'm excited to see you tomorrow night!
