What? Monday again?

Wow, where on earth has January gone?  Yikes.  How has the new year been treating you so far?  I hope that you’ve all had a marvelous 2020 so far.  My baby turned 18 and my older girl is about to turn 20 so it’s definitely a year of milestones for us.

How are you doing?  Are you on track or do you need a little push?  If you’re looking for some help, motivation, or a cheerleader, let us know.  We’re here to help.  I’ve even bought a pair of pompoms just for the occasion.

I think that’s all for now.  Chime in below and let us know how you’re doing and what your plans are for this week.  Personally, I need to get caught up.  I’m nowhere close to where I ought to be at this point in the month.  Happy Monday everyone!

Woo! I've written 1,855 words to date!

[asphaltcowgrrl.livejournal.com]

Nice work! Feels good to be ahead, doesn't it?

And thank you for being the only one to comment on this. LOL

[simplyn2deep.livejournal.com]

I need to get some writing done this week so that I stay ahead.

I was surprised no one had commented. Usually there are quite a few of them by the time I commented.

[asphaltcowgrrl.livejournal.com]

You've got it, I know you do!

I know, there are usually two or three by the time I even get up on Mondays. But maybe I forgot to shower. :)

I'm a bit behind but the last weeks of the month are typically slower for me at work so I should be fine.

[asphaltcowgrrl.livejournal.com]

Good luck! And I'm behind, too, so you're not alone!

Was home ill yesterday. Blergh.

No words, but there was knitting! Finished my second knitting project (4 pcs) of the year. Too bad we don't count stitches.

Happy Tuesday!

[asphaltcowgrrl.livejournal.com]

Oh no, I hope you're feeling better finally.

WOOHOO for knitting! Go you! I've decided to teach myself how to crochet. It was a spur of the moment decision and I hope that I have the dexterity to pull it off.

Happy freaking Tuesday!

You can do it!! Maybe crochet little scarves for the squirrels too? ;)

[asphaltcowgrrl.livejournal.com]

The only squirrels I know about in my area are the size of chipmunks. Cute as heck, but not sure I could crochet something that teeny. Although, the kitten will be getting a sombrero.

ETA: THANK YOU!

KITTEN SOMBREROS~!~~

[asphaltcowgrrl.livejournal.com]

Yeah, well, Etsy can be dangerous (https://www.etsy.com/listing/590909125/cat-sombrero-sombrero-for-cats-sombrero?ga_order=most_relevant&ga_search_type=all&ga_view_type=gallery&ga_search_query=cat+sombrero&ref=sr_gallery-1-1&organic_search_click=1) if you're not careful.

[kaige68.livejournal.com]

Yes it can! Ha!!!

[asphaltcowgrrl.livejournal.com]

I want to buy a shark costume for my daughter's bearded dragon. LOL

I'm ~ double the count where I should be...so that's good. My week days have sucked for words, but the weekends have gone well, so hopefully this one is the same cause I'd like to get this book done and out the door before the end of March...maybe another as well.
Doesn't help that I've been fighting off getting what all of those around me have had. Hasn't caught me yet, but I feel it lingering out there :/

[asphaltcowgrrl.livejournal.com]

Nice! Glad your weekends are being good to you.

Ugh, hope you don't get it fully and are feeling better soon.
