turps: (hot  as hell)
[personal profile] turps
I cancelled my doctors appointment as I don't feel well enough to go. Which sounds stupid I know but it was only to see the nurse and walking down in the cold doesn't appeal at all. The last thing I need is for this cold to get worse, as it is the red nose, cough and headache is enough for me.

I especially can't get really sick because in the next week or so I have to arrange all the stuff for James' birthday party. Decorations, the cake as well as buy and make food enough for around 100 people. The MiL was going to help but she has to go into hospital next week so it'll be me and my little helper. The decorations will be simple, maybe a few banners thats all. I'd love to have balloons because they make everything better but I know I'll get all resentful when people pop them and they will, they always do. Why James has to have a birthday this close to Christmas I'll never know.

Thinking of James he fell up the stairs at work this week. He's not that steady on his feet sometimes so came home with this huge blue plaster on his knee. I'm used to Corey coming home and showing off poorly knees not so much James. He's fine now until he takes his leg off then there's fun and games as he has to kneel to walk. I tell you it's a laugh a minute in this house *g*

It's wonderful that challenge is happening next year, the news sure got the flist moving ;)

Now to end some memes gacked from various people.

My journal is called - It doesn't have a name. *sobs*
My subtitle is - Or a subtitle...sigh.
My friends page is called - Them, I have no imagination.
My username is - turps33. Turps is what my brother calls me, I have no idea why I picked the 33 it's not significant in any way.
My default userpic is - Because I sort of have this thing, a big thing about those damn braces which seems to be spreading. I was lusting after the window cleaner because he has braces. I'm a freak I know.

And If there is any question you would like to ask me about any one of my fics, then go ahead! What I meant by a particular line, why I chose that characterisation, what I was listening to as I wrote, what crack I was taking and where you can get some ... anything. Anything you might like to know about how I wrote a fic, I shall do my best to answer.

Emphasis on that last line. I tend to wing it when I write to say the least.

Now I must go and find the remote for Sky. I've been listening to Cartoon Network since Corey went to school and can't take it anymore!

I love hot ribenna, never tried it with cloves through. I may have to try that, but I'll be fine soon I'm sure. As will my boys.

I love balloons and they are cheap enough. I'll have to get a pump though I haven't the lung power to blow them all up *g*

I wish you could come too, not to help just because, however I think you've more than enough on your plate.

Thanks, hon.

Boxes started as a ficlet at [livejournal.com profile] fic_requests. [livejournal.com profile] krabbypatty wanted an AU and I got this idea of Chris standing watching as Justin was harassed by some guy. It was supposed to stop there but the damn thing exploded in my mind. I was interested to see if I could maintain the characters of the guys when they'd been brought up and were living in such a different way. It was an experiment really, I love world building so creating that universe was fun.

I started researching the homeless as I went on and that helped too. Thinking about all these people who remain decent human beings despite being looked down on by so many so knowing that I tried to show that Chris and the others are still good despite circumstances.

Man yeah 100 people. I can see days of cooking in my future.

I hope you're feeling better soon, Terri.

*snuggles you*

*continues to try to make a decent cup of tea for you*

Oh, I'm actually thrilled to have found my *special tea*, which I can find EVERYWHERE I go, except St. Louis, is available by mail order. YEA! I sent off for 10 boxes!

I hope your party goes well!

*thinks they should make special super-thick non-popable balloons for parties*

Thanks, honey.

*snuggles with you*

*drinks the tea*

Yay for your 10 boxes of tea, that sounds cool, tea by mail.

I hope it goes well too, it'll be fun I think it's just the prep that's a bit daunting.

They really should have non-pop balloons, that's a great idea.

100 people? Yikes! I don't even think I know 100 people.

I hope you feel better soon - or at least hold off for the party. :)

At first he wanted 200 people but I put my foot down at that. They're all James' friends and family mostly. I know I don't know anything near 100 people, in fact it would be nearer 10.

I'll be fine, thanks. I'm just doing the hermit thing to ward the germs off. No way am I going to be sick over the festive period.

Organizing everything for a birthday party with 100 guests? Respect! Good thing no one needs to organize a birthday party for me, because my birthday is even closer to Christmas ;-).

Hope you're feeling better soon! *hugs*

I'm dealing with the party by delegating. The food is being prepared by various people now so I'll I have to do is the cake, sandwiches, nibbles, chicken and cheese pies...eep! What the hell am I letting myself in for!

I'm much better now, thank you, honey.

*hugs back*
