Told you I'd be back for a non sap post *g*

I'm giving my self a few hours to try and catch up with things before the family arrive this afternoon for Corey's tea party. I spent all day yesterday doing party stuff and writing, finally finishing the rough draft of the Joey fic after midnight. I sent it to some people but the rest will be getting it once I've done this. I'm pretty happy with it just now, some areas still feel off to me and there's one jarring part that I don't think I did well at all. I'll wait and see if other people see it, I suspect they will, because when I read it this morning it threw me out of the story and I wrote the bloody thing.

Then once that's done I must get either the MX done or finish The End 3. I've proved this week I can still write, now I just have to move that to other fandoms.

I was also helping James make a SpongeBob Square Pants birthday cake last night. I was rolling icing and everything, me, who usually cremates everything I try to cook *g* It looks great, SpongeBob's eyes are a bit bulgy but what they heck, Corey loved him. Then I had to sit and blow up over 200 balloons, which wasn't nice at all because I hate doing that. I always think the damn things will pop in my face.

Better go, I have three days of the flist and comment replies to catch up on.

ETA: Forgot to say. I was thinking yesterday about BT and the way they're screwing me about in terms of leaving their ISP. So I remembered that I'm intitled to a website on their servers, now I didn't need a website but at this point I'm going to screw as much out of BT as I can so I made a download page and uploaded some of my footage onto it, tested it and it worked. I've no idea how much bandwidth I can have, it doesn't say but at least I can share stuff now.

I really shouldn't say that I'm going to catch up on things for an hour or so. I just curse myself, I should know that. I've just sat down for the first coffee of the day. Do you know how wrong that is? If it wasn't for the Pepsi Max I was scarfing down I may have been in caffeine withdrawal.

First my dad came with Corey and my cards. He brought mine because he said he might be on holiday next week so this way only had to do the one trip. I asked him where my present was and he said I was too old for presents, which he's been saying since my 16th birthday, so 16 must be the present cut off age in his world. Then the best friend came so we all talked for a while. When she went I'd just sat down when the whole clan of in-laws arrived, just after 1. BIL was also there which made for a frosty atmosphere because of the prostitute thing. Corey and his friends came home and we had tea then mam (who was tipsy) arrived with my brother and sister. The in-laws went soon after she came and I had to sit and listen as she babbled on about the builders, while Highlander was on! I looked up at one point and Darius was dead, and I was all WTF?! Must remember to catch the repeat in the morning. I did see Mac hug Richie which was of the good.

So yes, I'm ready to face plant on the keyboard just now and I haven't even done that much. But we've had fun and that's all that matters :)

Thanks again to everyone that commented on my post this morning, I'm a terrible sap at the best of times and today was even sappier than usual. I should try to be all cool and organised, however, I think I'm destined to be a sappy flake, and as such....

*hugs and kisses the flist, some with tongue, some chastely on the cheek, pick your poison* You all are awesome!

ETA: Forgot to say, dad did bring something. Three more Mills and Boon books, his fiancee seems to think I like them and sends them up. I mean, Mills and Boon, can they be any more wrong?
