Sorry for the late chiming! Sick day–asleep all day and woke up to find that both Farrah Fawcett AND Michael Jackson had both died. WTF.

The invisible chicken story is the best story ever. I adore your hubby, Marn.

And I agree with Terri (don’t faint, Terri) that Matty is doing reverse psychology on Sin. The man absolutely doesn’t believe in “coddling” so this is his way of getting a fire under her ass so she’ll support him in the lap of luxury he thinks he deserves.

Ah! Any excuse to get to the gym is good! I prefer throwin’ me inner critiques to the Kraken. ‘e needs a job!

But if sweatin’ works fer you, than go fer it!

Yeah, my inner critic is enough too. I’m quite the virgo perfectionist. Though I find the older my kid gets and the more busy I become, the less I hear that IC. Maybe keeping it busy and tired helps to stifle it’s annoying nagging…. Something to think about. Maybe if I were to go to the gym, that’d work the steam out of her.

Maybe I shouldn’t get hasty….

Oh, yeah, Marnee. We all know folks who must have a bonifide villain ta raise the cutlass ‘gainst. The challenge of provin’ themselves ‘gainst a specific voice works as motivation.

Mayhaps that be why I name me inner critics…?

An actual person shoutin’ me down would work ta me disadvantage… I admire those who can use that as fuel though.

Aye, were a grand weekend, and it did start on Friday and last till mid Monday…

Now, where’d I stash that bottle a’ scotch fer Q…

Irish – I love that, “yay, I wrote that!” feeling!

And I think writing it down is the best advice ever. My DH doesn’t quite understand how my brain works with this stuff, but he just kinda rolls with the punches about it. And he tries not to let me catch him with that confused/scared look on his face. LOL!

Great and timely blog, Marnee.

I seem to have the same problem you do and my DH has the same advice yours does! LOL Every time I get a little smile on my face or a faraway look he shakes his head at me and says “Write it down! Whatever is going on inside that head of yours – get it on paper!”

I decided to go open my ms and read over what I put down so far and I’m always amazed that those words came out of my head. It’s so funny. I read and read and think to myself I don’t remember writing that!

Janga – I love Martina McBride. My daddy and I danced to her “In My Daughter’s Eyes” at my wedding. I saw her in concert when I was younger, her Christmas show, and she sang an a capella version of Silent Night that made the hair on my arms stand up. She’s this little bitty thing, seriously. I have no idea where she hides that voice.

And hang in there. I think we all have those “I swear, I’m going to delete you, Story” periods. I’m certain it will pass for you.

I love when Q gets out the pom poms! Well put, dear dear Englishman. Chance, send him a drink, please.

I agree with Ter; I think Matty knows what our Sin needs. I would never suggest he doesn’t. And I say whatever motivates her is good for me.

Chance – If your weekend’s so exhausting that you need til Thurs to get over it, go you. LOL! A gate to hammer at, huh? I’d never thought of it that way.

Marnee, clearly your husband is a man of great wisdom and wit.

I’m having one of those periods when hitting the delete key and erasing the whole book seems the smartest choice. I’m listening to Martina McBride for an infusion of perseverance.

That seems so out of reach
And you know it might not ever come your way.
Dream it anyway.”
