I'm home.

We were able to come back to our house this morning. The older three kids are at school and the two younger ones are playing nicely. My A/C in now working. I don't know how long it will work, but we have a few more hot days to go in this heat wave. I NEED it.

I was able to get some real work done and I spent a long time this morning in my workshop packing merchandise and printing shipping labels. I'm glad to work at home, but sometimes its hard to get motivated. Until the bills come in.

I printed out my fan fiction for my mom to read while we were out at her place trying to keep cool. She suggested the title "A Perfect Fit." I think for now I will go with that title. She loved it by the way. Of course, being my mom, she had to be nice to me. Mom is retired and she reads romance novels and some mystery novels. She can read one and half books a day. Her favorite author is Nora Roberts. I got my love of reading from her, but she doesn't write. She will watch episodes of Buffy with me when I am at her place, but she doesn't like the Angel series at all. I force her to watch it with me when season five is on, though. 

My mom thinks that my obsession with James Marsters is a little weird. As a young girl, I never went crazy for any one actor like most girls did. I was crazy for Depeche Mode, The Cure, The Smiths and other bands, but not for one member, just the whole group. I have never been one for a pretty face, but if you saw my husband you'd think I was lying. Its why he liked me so much. I looked past his face/body to the person he was. That is why after 15 years of marriage, we are still the best of friends and lovers. Looks can get old real fast if there isn't any substance to the man behind them. 

So mom read all nineteen chapters in rough draft form and liked it.  She even asked me to bring my Buffy DVDs over next time so she could watch one of the episodes I elude to in the fiction.  I have all seven seasons.  I used to have all five seasons of Angel, but I sold them.  I wish I would have kept season five, but at the time, I thought they would sell better as a complete set.
