LJ Idol Week 0 Intro Post
Oct. 31st, 2010 01:04 amHey kids, guess what time it is!
What time is it?
It's LJ Idol time!
The crowd goes wild.
Obligatory intro info: Navy wife currently stationed at a NC Marine base, mother of an-almost-12-year-old girl (who's already being mistaken as Not Jailbait by the Marines, EEP!) and a 9-year-old boy, pushing *gulp* 40. Disabled, with a list of autoimmune, neurological and mood disorder conditions a mile long, in a wheelchair about 80% of the time. Currently training my second service dog, an 11-month-old toy poodle. Service dog 1 was a 90-pound Doberman mix, so this is a change. Waiting to see if I'll get disability on the first try or not. Participating in LJ Idol for the third time and NaNoWriMo for the 9th. Published author of bad paranormal romances, retired librarian (you bounce one picture book off a toddler and the career goes downhill from there), all around bothersome know-it-all.
My biggest challenge this year is the arthritis in my hands and fingers. Often my fingers will spasm when I type, so expect lots of typos in my posts. They didn't used to be that way, but it's what I live with now. If Idol runs as long as it did last season, we'll be keeping up with my annual tradition of moving during Idol (sometime in June, likely to the Chapel Hill area). You have been warned.
I'm not sure what stories I'll have to tell this year. There's the ongoing medical stuff, which is great for horrorfying people, and the dog training for the ""awwww, cute" posts. No doubt there will be "my kids are driving me crazy and we don't have far to go" posts as well. Oh, and let's not forget the ever-popular "my husband is out of town for work AGAIN and I want him home NOW plzthnxbai" posts. I may very well work in bits of my NaNo plot, about a sweet foster mom inadvertantly given a just-orphaned werewolf cub and caught in the middle of a tribal struggle over custody. My werewolves aren't immortal, so they don't have the luxury of patience.
And just for the cuteness, here's a picture of Tassie in her Halloween costume - I colored her green and purple to look like Gir from Invader Zim. The colors are kind of faint (I used kool-aid; next time I'll got for cake icing coloring), but she definitely has a green body and purple ears, legs and tail.
And from the coloring process.
This has been my intro article for Week 0 of LJ Idol. I hope you enjoyed reading!
