Grrr

I know I said I was going to post the next part of Lucky, but my backstory kind of imploded on me. That's what happens if you start out with a basic premise, then have a few ideas on the way, and later can't weld everything together. The good news is, both sangpassionne and ladycat777 said the porn works. Yay. The bad news is, I won't post tonight. Tomorrow hubby is out. I intend to write all morning, pick up the kids, feed them, then send them off to play with friends. So I'll have most of the day to myself. Hopefully, I will get the problem sorted out. Sorry about the delay.

Had a stressful day today. But at least I got paid a few EUR for teaching. And you know what's even better? ladycat777 wrote me another Spike/Ethan scene, one that seems to fit into the same universe that her Christmas fic for me was set in. And willshenilshe wrote a Spike/Ethan AU ficlet for me in which Spike is human. Hot!

Thank you guys! Both stories really hit the spot.

*sings* Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you,

Happy birthday, dearessene... Happy birthday to you.
I hope you get lots of fic written for you. All the best for the coming year, dear. *hug*

What else is new? I have a freaking headache and feel queasy. Must be the storm outside. It sucks to be weather sensitive. *pops pills, tries to look brave* Today is one of those days where I feel like sitting down at the table and getting a nice meal served to me, one that I didn't have to plan or cook. Not a chance. *sigh* Oh well, next week I have an invite for a posh breakfast in one of the better hotels in Braunschweig. Yum. And the week after that a friend and I are sampling the food at a rather exclusive Indian restaurant. So, I guess I shouldn't complain.
