Good Lord...it's been awhile
Wow... I just saw how long it's been since I've posted anything here. Let's see, updates for anyone who might be interested! :D

1) Schmoo is growing like a weed. He's now 27 months old, over 3feet tall and 30+ lbs. He is learning how to swim, jumps off the diving board like a little pro and climbs anything and everything he can get near. He knows his ABCs, can count to 30 (with assistance to keep him on track) and is actually reading. He'll open a book while in the car seat and I'll hear him back there reading the words or sometimes just pronouncing them carefully. He's got all his 'At' words down and his daycare provider says they'll be working on 'and' words in the Fall. We took him down to his first concert just this past Wednesday. The Wiggles. He was a little trooper, loved the metro ride (puts him 1 up on Mummy) cheered and clapped along with the music and was utterly entranced by the whole show. Btw, if you have small people and a chance to see them, the Wiggles put on an awesome show. It is all about the children and they will not hesitate to skew off script to spend time with the kids. They're wonderful.

2) Work...sucks. But I am going back to school this fall on the employer's dime so I grin and bear it, for now.

3) Creatively, I still can not write stories as I used to. The condo is just too small and Schmoo is too active for me to be able to settle in and concentrate for any length of time. Even when Schmoo is asleep, Hubby will be there, playing a video game or watching TV and I just can't focus like I need to in order to write. That said, I do have a couple of LJ based RPs I am trying to keep up with. I play James Wilson at fandom_high (the really good crack btw, light and fun with some structure that keeps you thinking.) and an OC called James Brycen at brambleton which is a period RP set in Regency England. We're not entirely historically accurate but we have fun and stick close to period.

4) As you can probably tell by the icon, I am a House_MD addict. It is the only 'fictional' TV show that I make time for anymore. I am also going to make time for the new James Bond flick in November. I have recently discovered a love of Daniel Craig (Layer Cake anyone?) and am very interested to see how they take Bond back to his roots. I read Casino Royale the novel and am fascinated by the fact that Bond was originally written as a much more complex character. He's gotten so campy (I came in to Bond in the Roger Moore era) that I think it's been forgotten so it'll be interesting to see them go back and Craig is definitely the man to pull it off.

Okay...err...that's all for now. I might try more in depth on each of the above subjects (I live to bash Cameron btw...just warning you now Flist) as inspiration strikes.
