So I'm up in Maine in the middle of nowhere. There's no cell phone reception, unless you have crap AT&T service. I do not have said crappy service, which means that the only way anyone can reach me is if they call me on my in-law's phones. There's literally 2 tv channels and 4 radio stations. I don't know how we're going to entertain the little guy up there.
Have I mentioned that I hate little airplanes? They make me sick. We flew up here in a 6 seater. Hubby thoroughly enjoyed it because he was piloting most of the time. But munchkin and I were in the back, which means that while I'm trying not to lose my cookies, I'm also trying to entertain Andrew. Not an easy task.
Lately I seem to be plagued with the most boring of depositions. I know. The billables are good and I'm getting out of the office, so I shouldn't complain. But Thursday's moron took SIX HOURS to authenticate documents! That was all he accomplished, other than disqualifying himself from the case because the dumbass made himself a material witness. Did I mention that he's been practicing longer than I've been alive?
On the other hand, I completed my questioning in 15 minutes... and I had to take this woman back to events that happened in 1998! 15 minutes, probably 20 questions and I managed to take what appeared to be a slam dunk loser for the client and turned it into a grand slam home run. Yes, I'm mixing sports metaphors but THAT is how you take a freaking deposition.
Andrew vaulted himself out of bed the other day. I guess it's time for a big boy bed! It was scary as hell. We heard a massive crash and went sprinting up the stairs to find Andrew opening his door!
A little shameless self promotion never hurt anyone...so check out my first post as Friday Mom over on GrowUp Learning's blog. Otin (and the rest of you) keep it clean if you comment over there! ;)
For those of you who have been following my vampire series, be honest, what do you think of the story? I've been toying with the idea of trying to turn it into an actual book... But, then again, I get upset when I don't get a lot of comments on my posts. I can't imagine how I'd feel if I actually turned the story into something larger and then it didn't go anywhere...
Hope you all are having a good weekend.

I think that the story is great! I think that you are not getting the large amount of comments because of the length of time between some of the posts. Us, bloggers are a forgetful bunch!!!!! It is a really well written piece as far as I am concerned!
Would I ever make an unacceptable comment?? LOL!
It is very difficult to give a real response to the vampire story because of the short segments which are included in the posts. I know you need to keep the posts short but there needs to be a longer section in order to judge the story as against the style.
I hate small planes too. The turbulence on those things is just too much.
I hope you survive the trip to the in-laws. Sounds like it will be interesting. :)
I hope you're finding ways of keeping entertained out in the boondocks! Those prop planes freak me out!!!
I love how you had to warn Otin about proper commenting!
Yeah we will soon get another bed to Andy too!lol
And I think your story is fabulous and your style of writing is great and it would make a great book if you let flow your imagination like you did in those sequels.Go for it if you want it!
where were you in Maine?
i'll give the vampire story a go...
I know what you mean about wanting critiques. The one I rec'd and I'm not writing fiction) that stuck out is I "need to be more focused...pick a (category) subject and keep writing about it"...like politics or whatever. Of course I have not done that. The successful blogs seem to do that. I am not disciplined enough or else I think I'd be bored.
Maybe you should write a few paragraphs, then set up some questions for people to respond to. People are more easily led that way.
