Boring real life stuff
Nov. 29th, 2008 08:44 pmSo, yesterday the rest of the family drove to Holland to dance in a feis (an Irish dance competition). And the plan was for me to write write write all weekend....
What did I end up doing? I shopped till I dropped and spent hours wrapping gifts, tidying up, getting the Xmas decorations up, and making advent calendars for the girls (various favoured chocolates for most days, but there are also a few smallish gifts on the advent Sundays and a very expansive (but pretty) creativity set so they can create stylish and pretty pictures as gifts for auntie and others. *sigh*
I got a lot of shopping done, but the speed with which my November wages disappeared was both staggering and disheartening. Most of you guys know already, that December is always a financial catastrophe, since it's also hubby's b-day on the 25th and Tina's on the 28th. *sigh*
Luckily, I will work more hours as of December. Too bad, most of my raise will be eaten up by taxes. But still, even a little extra money will help.
I keep clicking on Mininova, to see if there's a torrent for Merlin. I could do with a bit of Merlin/Arthurs subtexty goodness. :-)
Actually, I wouldn't mind reading a bit of fanfic, but I have no idea if anyone on my flist is even interested in the show... If you are and if you could point me towards a nice slashy or subtexty fic, I would be very happy. I mean, come on, surely I'm not the only one who thinks that Arthur is really pretty.... ;-)
