Angel's Little Patch of Heaven

[The_gladiator]

"I meant more like a screw driver." he says. "I'm not a very adventurous drinker, when I do drink."

 

[Veroe]

*idly tapping her fingers against her notepad as she watches Veroe make the martinis*

So you're playing hookey tonight, Veroe? And I assume that Glad, you are up to no good... Scheming up mischief for bama?

Yeah. Just relaxing and detoxing after the rough day at work I had earlier.

"I meant more like a screw driver." he says. "I'm not a very adventurous drinker, when I do drink."

Ahh, no problemo.

One classic screwdriver coming up next, OK?

I can make you a virgin daquiri if you don't want to be too adventurous.

 

[The_gladiator]

"Thank you Veroe." he says nodding.

"Actually I might make a post for Bama, however I am more likely to have more posts for my new thread, Its fun to write as well. My thread total is up to 3, and I am loving them all. Especially Faerie Tales with Bama, its a long time coming for that one.

 

[Angeleyz]

Yeah, me...although I'm try to scratch out some responses as well.

Having to go through budget cuts again... My team is being reduced from 18 to 12, and I'm having to figure out what we will and won't be able to do... And who I'll have to be looking to place elsewhere... I tried to cut myself again, and they rejected me...

AND.....

Found out this morning that my daughter was involved in an "incident" at school yesterday and said nothing to us.

Four phone calls later from the Assistant VP and I'm still confused as to what happened. Other than she and a male student got into a physical altercation (was first reported to me as an "inappropriate touch" to my daughter). Long story short... She 'defended' herself, but I'm still thinking she went on offensive a little early, and my coworkers are saying the boy will be known as the kid who got his ass kicked by a girl.

"And people wonder why I don't have kids." he teases. "Sounds complicated."

On one hand I'm pleased that she has the tools and mindset to defend herself because I didnt, but I'm concerned at how quickly she did it. If that makes any sense.....

3?

I'm juggling something like 6 or 7 active threads now...no wonder you guys keep getting caught up while I strive to keep from making my cowriters waiting more than a week.

Pfft lightweights. I say in a teasing and equally envious manner.

I dump the ice cubes in the two chilled glasses into the sink and pour Angel's and my martini's complete with olives and set one beside where she scribbling away at her notepad.

Then I take a standard glass and fill it to chill with icecubes. Opening the fridge for the orange juice.

It makes plenty of sense.

Its been my observation that parenting is equal parts worry and pride for one's child whatever they do.

That sort of dichotomy can only come from the love a parent feels for their child.

he chuckles, "Lets just say I'm dipping my toes in, and my new writing partner has asked for 10-20 posts a week and my shortest post for it so far has been 250 words, with most at least 500 words.

If I'm not careful I'll take on too many as I always do, and then I get overwhelmed and end up leaving Lit again as real life takes over." he says laughing at himself.

*overhears part of his comments before he delivers the drink*

Thanks, hon... Much appreciated. For the record, I technically have 9... But half are stalled at the moment due to RW issues. However, my partners break free of their restraints to post comments at some of the damnedest times.

*takes a sip of the martini*

Perfect!

So it's understandable if I want to kill her right now... Cuz I love her so?

more than understandable, Just not recommended." *grins*

You know...I don't understand why people place restrictions like that. Yes, I'd like my stories to be responded to on a regular basis, and I might go a bit stir crazy when I'm all caught up and there's a bit of a lull.... But that still seems awfully demanding.... And more likely to prematurely burn a good story out.

Says the girl who was whining last week about idle hands...

 

[havinfun50]

Strolls in singing quietly.... ~~ It was an itsy bitsy, slightly dirty, vodka and vermouth martini, that angel had for the first time today. ~~

"Evening all! Those martini's look like just what the Dr. ordered. Any left?"

he nods, "That seemed a lot. She's a hell of a writer and if she can keep me motivated then I'll do my best to keep up. Its sorta easy right now I don't work at the moment."

 

[Angeleyz]

*smiles upon seeing HF*

Hiya, partner... You can share with me if you want.

"Of course not, Angel's too dirty and drank them all." he teases, "Good to see you sir."

Oh I agree, but several of her stories have fizzled out it seems, but maybe that's just RW vs burn out. In either case, it's a good idea to limit your acceptance rate until you know how you're going to flow.

Besides... I'm still waiting for that big idea...

*looks down at her feet*

I'm a very bad girl...

LOL... I don't think it's a sharing night for wither of us, how about I make a fresh pitcher for the room?

"Of course not, Angel's too dirty and drank them all." he teases, "Good to see you sir."

Evening Sir! Always god to see you!

OK, New laptop... new keyboard... same typos, only magnified because the keys are spaced wider than the old one.... sigh.

*Heads to the bar to make a pitcher of dirty martini's for all who wish to partake.*

Pffftttttt.... Breaksclusive!!!! Stop the presses!!!!!

Damnit.... What does a girl gotta do to get shared tonight?!

Wait, that's not exactly what I meant.

 

[Veroe]

Finishes Glad's classic screw driver and sets it out for him.

Waves to HF. Another Martini coming up. Clean or Dirty?

I stop...just so you know Angel's already made the obligatory innuendo there so you can totally go the classy route with that question with the knowledge the low road's been taken, sir.
