ramblings, exchanges and a few reviews

Woke up today to no water at the house I'm sitting out. It seems that the main pipes froze last night (we were SUPER cold last night). So, no shower for me *icks*. I had to go buy bottled water for the puppies and cats so that there's something for them to drink because, of course, the way I found out there was no water was that I went to fill the dogs' dishes.

Got my springtime_gen assignment and I couldn't have asked for a better challenge and assignment! YAYES!!!

Signed up for hpslashnotsmut where, btw, sign-ups are still open.

Thank God I got an extension for my hpvalensmut as I'm finally finishing the wrangling into place. corvidae9 is a brilliant mod and I worship her for the extension *worships*.

slashfest will be opening the mini round soon... gotta finish getting ready for that.

Work is crazy, am trying desperately to finish all my year end crap by January 31st. We're also migrating payroll systems from one company to another so that's a wee bit stressful as well.

Finally - a couple of book reviews (same disclaimers and spoilers abound):

( Mistral's Kiss by Laurell K. Hamilton )

3 out of 10

( Artemis Fowl: The Opal Deception )

9.5 out of 10
