mbeancntr: (Storm)
The work week is over. Finally. It was another long one, but overall, not as bad as the last two weeks. This week was 5 days of morning Mondays and then the rest of the day after noon wasn’t so bad.

We have major storms headed our way. They've been coming out of Chicago and then building as they come in my direction. Wow. I think it's thundering, but not sure. It's definitely thundering. Here is comes. :)

I watched Pitch Black last night. At first, it was odd and reminded me so much like Aliens, but it grew on me. Vin Diesel plays a good badass. I was surprised at the speculation of the ending by fans.

Tonight, I want to write. At lunch, I drafted a scene that will be toward the end of the story. It was fun to write – now I just hope it sticks. :) I also should take care of some of my weekend chores since I won't be around this weekend much.

Tomorrow, my boyfriend and I are taking my parents out to eat and then maybe play some cards afterwards. The food is the best and the dessert comes with. Mmmm…probably chocolate mousse pie for me but I'm craving raspberries. Not the seeds in my teeth though.

While I'm there, I want to look for some patterns or material for some neat crafting projects I like to do. Once I figure out how to post images, I'll do that.

Sunday, I'll go spend the day at my parents and see what they need me to help with around the place.

Have a great weekend.
mbeancntr: (Summer - strawberries)
It has been raining nonstop since 6:00 this morning. What a gloomy, dreary day, but we should be thankful for the rain. It makes the grass green and the flowers grow and bloom pretty.

I've been in a really depressed mood most of the week. I'm not sure why, other than lots of worrying about those I love.

I'm meeting my mom for lunch to pickup some fresh strawberries from her garden. Mmmm. I love the taste of strawberries.

Work's been keeping me hopping and my writing has been advancing smoothly. I'm working on descriptions, connecting scenes, and making chapters. I worked on an info drop last night, but intend to separate that throughout the first few chapters so it's not an info drop per say. It was something I needed to do because I've neglected descriptions and backstories. As I was reading Crossfire, I came across a section, several chapters into the book, that used almost an entire chapter to flashback as to how the two main characters met, which overjoyed me since I had a scene with my characters started (and abandoned) when they first met. That's now been finalized and I'm happy with it so my next step, after the above additions, is picking up where I got sidetracked and continue my plot and subplots.

I'm going through a Vin Diesel stage right now, and have the first Fast & Furious from Netflix. Next will be Pitch. I saw the newest Fast & Furious in the theaters the other week and realized I had never seen its predecessors.

Cutest movie I've seen recently: Waitress with Kerri Russel and Nathan Fillion. I adore Nathan (Firefly and eventually I'll watch Castle) and I've always thought Kerri was cute, although I never watched much of Felicity - full time college and full time work made TV watching nonexistent.

The movie I've seen too many times the last few weeks: Gone in 60 Seconds. Thank you cable for running the marathon and melting my brain with action and beautiful cars.

True Blood season 2 starts Sunday. Yay! HBO's been running season 1 eps, so they've been owning my soul too.  I'm still catching up on Fringe.  Love that show.

Have a good Thursday.
