The new story is finished, roughly speaking of course. The hubby read it through for me. I asked him to just read it for pleasure and tell me what he thinks about it first, before really diving in and hacking it up. He said he thought it was cute. Hmm, well, I thought W.G. Rowland's story, "The Great Wizard Joey" was cute and it won GRAND prize at WotF. Heheh. I could only wish my story would win that. ;)

But I'm way, way, way ahead of myself. This story has a long way to go before it's even ready to think about being sent away from my hard drive. :) A long way before it's even sent to a crit group. I'm trying to constantly remind myself that it is a work in progress, a diamond in the rough so to speak. A lot of work left to polish it up.

We're going to visit James' parents again this week for a couple of days. We're trying to work around feeding schedules so that James and I could get away for dinner and possibly a movie while the grandparents watch Xander. I'm looking forward to it. I just hope Lord of the Rings is still showing so that I can at least see one of the two movies I've been wanting to see. I guess I only have to wait till May before I can see Harry Potter. I saw that it will be on video May 23rd. Hmm, does Pay-per-view on Dish Network show movies earlier than the video release date? I'll have to keep my eye out for it.

In an effort to more wisely use my time, I've started watching either news (can they talk about anything other than the 'war' or Enron?) or PBS University channel while breastfeeding. I'm watching shows on Writing, History and government. Occasionally I've watched some language shows, but if you don't catch program one and follow the entire series, it can get very difficult. The trouble is, though, that I'm learning so much, my brain can't process all of it, so I'm forgetting a lot. Uh-well, even if I only remember bits and peices, that's something.

Now I'm off to finish a crit for my group!
