Sunday Morning


and its actually an alright start to the morning. Mainly because yesterday was so wonderful. I didnt get any writing done of course, but i digress. I shopped--alot. I made a good shepards pie for dinner. (only way to get connor to eat vegatables is to hide them in mashed potatoes, so it works. Plus i use real potatoes, less fat and gross-ness from mashed potatoes in a box). I watched a great law and order criminal intent last night that i had never seen therefor re-introducing me to my old love of the show itself.

and then i went to bed. and my neighbors beagle dog (they should be outlawed) howled...all....friggen...night. at one point, after about two hours straight of the howling, the dogs mum said "Noooo *insert dogs name*" what irated me the most was the fact the poor thing JUST wanted to come inside. If you are going to have a dog as a pet and as a part of your family--dont leave them outside 24 hours every single day. it gets HOT here. and when i lived in maine, some people down the road used to leave their dog out all the time, even when it was below zero. of course he had a dog house but still....we dont add pets to our family to ignore them and leave them outdoors.

So im a bit of an animal activist sometimes. I've helped with a lot of animals around the area and i've petitioned for wolves in alaska. so when i find out an animal in my own neighborhood is being tossed out into the 90 plus degree weather, all night long, left to howl....it upsets me. I wish i could call someone to make it stop because it does keep you from sleeping also.


But.....since I was up, i had a lot of time to think about my story. So where it stands now, my werewolf just attempted to murder a girl, but the girl escaped, and it should have been a disaster except that it isnt...because no one believes there are werewolves.....at all anywhere. So it actually pushes my mc further into the arms of (the werewolf) because she's afraid there is some rabid wolf/bear out in the woods.

Thats the part im at now. I mean i obviously have more, but thats the basic skim of it for now.


and i watched a hilarious movie last night called Bad Moon. was it meant to be hilarious? no. It was a werewolf movie, a poorly done werewolf movie, but the dog was the saver of the family and i always dig that. But i guess it made it seem as though it were more of a kid movie.
