Creative Reviews discussion

This is a general place where we can all get away from the things that we are supposed to be doing and escape with our other new GoodReads friends!! This will be out general chat room/ play room/ get together and ramble on about our favorite pair of fuzzy socks room.

The attic will be a place where our imaginations can run freely and we don't have to worry about finding the right folder to put things in. Feel free to make new topics in here as needed - I may throw ideas out for the group in here from time to time to see how you guys like it. By the way, I will say that I think we have one of the greatest groups here on Goodreads!! :) You are all wonderful!!

Awesome!

I'm still trying to figure out what I'm going to attempt to accomplish today... ;-) My kids and I are hanging out jamming for a bit! NIN is on at the moment...lol...

Maybe it should be the "basement" since it's ALL the way at the bottom of the page...LOL...

Lol. the basement is what I said! Hahaha. Somedays it is hard to settle on what to do. There is always so much waiting to get done!

Wotcha peeps.

Cassie, NIN?

JAC

Nine Inch Nails... ;-) But I had to change it in the chorus because it was not quite child friendly...

It's been more cleaning this afternoon... Sigh...

Hi all, it is hotter than Hatti here, the kids have been baking at school. I did however approach a grade six student to draw some characters for my next novel. She is excited and so am I.

I haven't written one but as a teen one of my fave kids' books was where the princess was the kick-ass sword-fighting one and the price was a bit droopy and pathetic instead of the other way round.

I was far too old for the book - it was aimed at about 10 yr olds I think - but it was very funny, esp given the general tenor of the time.

Haha, I thought Goodreads was the place I was escaping from my obligations. More distractions, less work, yay!

Well hello everyone!! Glad to see we have people chatting in here and not working too hard!! Working too hard was what I did yesterday, and I missed all of my friends in here!!

I thought the basement was a good place to find our attic, we are all creative types here, and we wouldn't want things to be 'standard' - that is never ANY fun!!

And Ken, things are going swimmingly well!! Thank you for asking!! :)

Um, yeah...guess this is where I say hi guys, or yeah that. :)

Ken wrote: "Hi Cassie, Cambria, J.A., and Janice. Just finishing up some reports and I'm off to home sweet home and hitting the bed.

Either that... or if I was in the attic right now I would be saying, "I'm..."

I have not done that before Ken but it sounds like a fantastic idea!! were you pleases with the results when you did it.

HI Suz. Welcome to the attic!!! becareful of the spiders in the corners..... lol

My awesome children have decided to sit next to me at the desktop computer & play Veggie Tales music videos OVER, and OVER, and OVER, and OVER, annnnnnddddd OVER!!
I know I have something important to do, but I can't focus for two seconds...

Bedtime is SOON! ;-)

Oh where is my hairbrush oh where is my hair brush, oh where oh where oh where oh where......
That song is so annoying!!!!
I feel bad for you Cassie. truly.
My daughter plays Justin Beiber constantly.

Oi! Spiders, I can deal with easy to step on the little buggers. lol. I just want to know that everything is cool now, that's all.

Of course, everything is cool. It always was! :) glad to see you around!!!

Cambria wrote: "Of course, everything is cool. It always was! :) glad to see you around!!!"

Cool, thank you for letting me know that, I really appreciate the response to my question. That's all I wanted to know. *g*

I love Veggie Tales, but once is enough... They kept doing the pants song (They're pants if you're short and shorts if you're tall... Pants, pants, pants, pants....)...and of course everything gets stuck in my head. I banished them from the computer & now they are watching SweetPea Beauty and hopefully going to sleep!!!!

I think I could deal with VT better than JB. I don't know...

Anyway, what I actually came over here to say (this may be a bad place for me...I will be dumping my random thoughts all over the place ;-)...):

I was just over skimming over my personal blog, which I posted on last night for the first time in a while. I realized that when I sit down to "talk", I talk a lot! LOL I'm not much of a talker IRL. It's weird.
I basically talk to myself there. I have one official follower...ha!...but I have a few family members that subscribe by email b/c that's where I can kinda talk about what is going on with us and share a few pictures and such.

Soooo...okay, I'm getting back to work now that I've emptied my brain of that little train of thought ;-)...

Somehow I have been lucky enough to avoid the veggie tales songs, my kids love the movies, but never really got into their song collections!! WHEW!!

And poor Cambria, Justin Bieber, ICK!!!!

I just wanted everyone to know, that I've been under a lot of stress the last few months and it has been causing me to do the wacky. I'm not always this emotional or all over the place and I apologize if I've rubbed anyone the wrong way. I'm not excusing myself for it, I own it completely. I just hope that you can at least try and understand, there's a lot of family medical issues regarding my gran and my four year old neice, as well as my own mother that's seriously weighing really heavy on me.

So, yeah, I apologize. :)

Thank you for your apology Suz. We all get a little Wacky sometimes....most times i am wacky and sometimes I am normal. LOL.
I think it is really great of you to come on here and say this.
And my thoughts are with you and your family in your time of trouble. I understand how that is and I wish you and your family the best. If you need anything your friends here at GR will be here!!

Yes I know the words. SAVE ME!!!

I figured that something had to take the higher road and I would rather do that, than to just keep holding onto the frustration. It's not good at all, so I accept my part in everything, I just hope that other's can accept responsibility for theirs and we can go on and just let it go. :)

Thank you, for your thoughts. I really do appreciate that, I'm a little worried about all three kind of at the same time and it's just been a weight of stress. So, I really appreciate that you guys will be here.

HAHA!! No - many of the things I say are not used in many places..I make up many words and just use whatever may come to mind at the time!! :) Some of my favorite adjectives are spunktacular, awesometastic, and fantabulous. Feel free to use them, they roll right off your tongue and are fun to say! LOL

Why thank you greatly, kind sir! :)

Spunktacular?! NOT one to use in the UK!

hahahaha gross....assuming it's whole spunky=feisty thing you mean though? You know there's a type of muffin called Otto Spunkmeyer's? There's a reason it never caught on in the UK....

We use the phrase "going swimmingly" though - you been hanging with the Brits again Amy?
JAC

Note to self...do NOT use the word spunktacular in the UK when I go there to visit....

I'm back! ;-)

This past weekend was fun, but I am SOOO exhausted. Of course, I have tons of things to get done this week! Maybe I can do half of them ;-)...

It is DRY here!! I seriously think it has been three weeks since we've had any rain. Probably not, but we have definitely not had anything substantial. I could go for about a week of thunderstorms followed by 70 degree weather until October! ;-) Ha!

Alrighty... I have to do something. Like nap! ;-)

And, yes I Googled "spunk UK"... You really do learn something new every day... :-O

ROFL, two countries separated by a common language!

PS., in order to stay here, Ken and I are going to need our own bathroom and a big screen TV dedicated to sports :).

Hmmm, hmmm, hmmm .... hmmm!

As long as you clean the bathroom yourselves...

We will. We'll even put the seat down just in case :).

Sounds like a deal...

What does a person have to do to get recognized or talked to around here?

Ooohhhh. Is it something you can't put on this nice polite site????
Now i'm going to have to google it. LOL

We've had like no rain here too! It rained a few minutes last night but that's it for like weeks! And its been close to 100 degrees here for like two weeks. I need the cold the rain and the dreary.....

I am watching Teen Wolf!! I finally have a night off from editing!!!

Well, I guess I could use spunktacular if I ever write some british erotica, huh?? Wow, the things that have been coming out of my mouth! I should be ashamed of myself, but I'm sure I will still use it....I'm a rebel!!

Splitter, thanks for putting the seat down, it's never fun falling in - not a good type of surprise!
And if we get the TV, I must insist that hockey must be shown on said TV!!

i vote for Teen Wolf on said TV.
I've never fallen in a toilet....
and british erotica??? sounds very interesting...

Are you my neighbor?? And my soulmate...LOL...

I'll have to catch up on TW later. I never get to watch anything right away anymore. But the DVR has spoiled me b/c that means I never have to watch commercials either! ;-)

Does hockey "season" interfere with college football?? I don't even know if there is a season in hockey...LOL...

Okay, I guess this means that no one is going to speak to me in here or in this group at all. :(

Whatcha want to chat about?

I haven't watched Teen Wolf because I doubt they can do it better than Jason Bateman. And I already knew what spunk meant. My innocence was lost many naughty books ago ;) Those Black Lace books can warp a girl.

I have a question. Do any of you have dogs and if you don't mind me asking are they naughty? Do they have issues and do you care? I recently lost two of my long time dogs (old age & cancer) and though I loved them they were flawed and now I realize it was my fault. One jumped up and peed on visitors and the lab was growly and under socialized because I got him when I had two little babies and I was too lazy to train them to be better boys. I was happy they were house-trained and loved me. But I feel bad for not being a better doggie-momma and helping them with their issues.

Yes, i think I am. We should move somewhere like seattle and it is always cloudy and rainy. You can bring your DVR because I would love to have one. I have to watch Teen Wolf when its one or I don't get to see it. Oh! the hardship!

I don't like to watch tv commercials either. :(

@barklesswagmore- i am not familar with Jason bateman's version of TW....do elaborate.

If you want to join the conversation Suz just jump right in. No one is going to respond to the negative comments you are posting.

He was in the sequel back in the 80's and the whole thing was just so silly and cute and cheezy. I can't picture someone else in the role (besides the original TW Michael J. Fox).

Oh, i didn't know there was a sequel. I was born in the 80's so i don't recall much. LOL. So is it a sequel to the michael j fox movie? that i am familar with.
cheesy, silly and cute can be very fun sometimes! :)
