May. 23rd, 2009 10:46 amHappy belated birthday wishes to
simply_fly_away and
feelingcold I hope you both had fantastic days ♥
My boys set off for France yesterday. After days of packing and lists and gathering the stuff they needed -- also ironing creases in the stupid neckers multiple times, something I'm trying to block out -- Corey still managed to leave his sleeping bag behind. Which he found out at the meeting site for the coach and meant him having to be driven back by a scout dad and just getting back in time.
It's so quiet without them here and while I'm going to enjoy the time to do what I want I'm going to miss them. Heck, I am missing them. The bed was very big and lonely last night, even with Milo sleeping with me.
This morning there was stress when Asda phoned and said there was an issue with my grocery order that was due to be delivered this morning. Well, I say phone but what I got was one of those weird talked text messages saying I had until 9 to sort it out or it would be cancelled. The time they sent the message? 8:15. I called them and it was an issue to do with the debit card, which is in James' name, so they wouldn't talk to me at all. I told them he was out of the country and asked if I could pay another way, but they were having none of it. In the end I had to let the order cancel and reorder for delivery tomorrow, and I really hope that goes through okay.
Still, plans for the day. Writing, reading, watching tv, catching up on emails, chilling with the animals. Not a bad way to spend time at all.
erilyn posted some excellent gifs today, including some that gave me much glee. Mikey with his tambourine! Way hugs with stealth FOB.
To end, the meme that's been going around lately.
Comment with a request to see absolutely anything on my computer. My desktop, my documents, my bookmarks, my inbox, secret stash of pornography, latest works in progress... whatever you're curious about, and I will respond with a screenshot.
ETA: I zipped up and uploaded my folder which has bandom cover versions in it. It's here if anyone is interested.

And stupid grocery store.

Dude, seriously. I wanted to kick the man I was talking to. Just send my food already!

I'm sure withholding food is against the Geneva Convention. *g*

YES!
Also, the window cleaner is here now and he uses this huge ass brush with attached hose. He stood on the path and just blasted the window next to me, and it was open :(

You'd think they'd check that in this kind of nice, breezy, window-opened weather.

Date: 2009-05-23 01:28 pm (UTC)He should check, though. You would have thought it was a no-brainer.

Date: 2009-05-23 12:56 pm (UTC)That's sucks about your grocery order. I hope the new one will work out, we wouldn't want you to starve!
Sounds like you have an awesome Saturday all planned out!
I totally want to see your current work in progress.

Date: 2009-05-23 01:06 pm (UTC)Well, I'm not that worried about me starving, but the cats and dog, yeah.
I do. I'm enjoying it immensely so far.
Here you go. You may be able to guess what fic it's for :)

Date: 2009-05-23 01:25 pm (UTC)Frank and Bob are in the middle of having a talk about gifts and how Mikey and Frank have been dating for nine months and four days, and how Gerard is trying to be a big brother and Mikey's all weirded out about that. So Bob wants to strangle himself with his jeans, while also thinking secretly they're kind of sweet *g*

Date: 2009-05-23 08:30 pm (UTC)That's how it starts. I actually came into bandom through liking FOB's music. Fell hard for MCR but vowed I'd never be into Panic. Yeah...sigh.
