Turk, my Category 5, Level Orange Lust Alert, I'll have an IV bag of caffeine, please. On one of those rolling hospital stands, if you have one, so I can wear it around the house. I'd love to hang out in the hot tub for an hour, but it's National Procrastination Payback Week and I've been drafted as grand marshall of the Deadlines Parade.

Work. The ultimate insult to the creative procratinator/hot tub enthusiast.

Night sounds like a plan to me.

~ I pour Night a health mug of rum.~

So What plans do you have?

 

[DeliciousMaiden]

"Mmmm... coffee time I think ... hello all !"

 

[cgraven]

Mari!!!!!!!

I throw my arms around the shy Miss and kiss her roundly and hug her tight to me and swing her about. Holding her up and smiling up in to her eyes.

Long time no see Mari.

Setting her down lightly I pour Mari her morning coffee.

So what have you been up to dear?

 

[Untamed_Heart]

still rubbing some sleep from my eyes

Morning all!

Cg, I see you found it

How are you this fine morning?

 

[cgraven]

Morning Untamed. Well this morning finds me popping in and out of the Inn as I take care of my daily chores.

Yes I did find it.

I pour Untamed a mug of coffee and top off my own mug.

And what does this chilly fall morning bring you dear?

 

[Untamed_Heart]

Writing lol, at least for the next hour and a half, then I have to go out for a few hours to deal with the RW issues that plauge my life, then come back for a bit before i have to go out tonight

Thanks for the coffee smiling as I sniff it and then take a blissful sip

 

[cgraven]

Ah the R W it will have its hooks in me today. Groceries are high on the list but I need to draw up the list to keep it within my means.

So a bit of writing is it Untamed and a social life to boot? a teasing smile.

 

[DeliciousMaiden]

Mari!!!!!!!

I throw my arms around the shy Miss and kiss her roundly and hug her tight to me and swing her about. Holding her up and smiling up in to her eyes.

Long time no see Mari.

Setting her down lightly I pour Mari her morning coffee.

So what have you been up to dear?

Sorry Cg... my comp didn't show there had been posts to the Inn.

Busy as usual ... work ... of course... ankle is beginning to twang a bit and I haven't been able to get to the gymn for an age ...
Same old really ....

How are you?

 

[cgraven]

Me well me dear let’s see. The same old routine here as well. Work is gearing down and my winter hiatus is about to start so maybe a bit more writing here and there. Watching the pence so I make it through till work starts again in the Spring.

The Boss talked about calling me back in January but she did that as well last year. All depends on grants and the needs of the fort.

But speaking about writing I do believe you owe me a post or two>

Hummmmmmmmmmmm

 

[DeliciousMaiden]

"I owe all round writing wise ... I don't have time for that any more ...

The way things are going I think I have to assume I've given up writing on LIT for the forseeable future .... as I can't post with any kind of regularity ...

Life is too hectic to be good ... I'm looking for a career change.
I'm not really happy with how things are at the moment.
It's not healthy and actually getting me down."

 

[cgraven]

Mari…
I enfold her in my arms and give her a big hug.

It’s ok do what is best for you. If and when you feel like writing then we can start a thread. I have always loved writing you.

a soft kiss

More coffee?

 

[cgraven]

The Inn is quiet. Phoo Ming puttering around his kitchen and I pour another coffee.

Friends come and go that is life here at the China Pearl and Lit.

Phoo Ming a double B&B come join me old friend.

Mari can I get you something?

 

[Nightbird]

Hello CG... Hows it going?

 

[cgraven]

Hanging in there Night made it through Remembrance Day alright. Got to thinking last evening and looking over some old cruise books and squadron books. Bitter sweet memories my friend.

So how are you doing this fine bright chilly day, can I get you something?

 

[Nightbird]

Actually CG I'm not going to be here for long.. I've got a date with a DVD movie and some popcorn.. LOL

I was thinking about you on Remembrance day.. I agree the memories are bittersweet.

 

[cgraven]

A DVD and some popcorn Night ?

I certainly hope a young lady is also involved in your plans. A teasing smile bows my lips.

Night Remembrance Day and Decoration Day are always a bit hard on me.

 

[Remec]

Mmmm, Swedish wine. Why Tiger, are you proposing to get me drunk and take advantage of me? Then let me run over and pounce on you so we can get started!

But the fridge will be soooo cold....I'm likely to get all nipped out

Hmmm, a nipped out Arioso? Sounds like a plan to me. Shall we work on inviting a few more of the women with that sort of a reaction? It might make the fridge room a bit crowded, but all the better to make with the warming up, n'est-ce pas?

 

[Untamed_Heart]

Hi again Cg, to answer your previous comment, it is a pale replica of a social life...I am going out yes, but for dinner at my parents house so its not like an earth moving expirience lol. I fear there are little to none of those in my life right now.

Night, good to see you, enjoy your show.

Mari, I know all to well the days when there is no time for Lit, or other pleasures, I hope you make it back soon, for you know what they say about all work etc

 

[cgraven]

Even an evening out with your parents Untamed is more of a social life than I have right now.

Work as I said is gearing down, and my publisher is getting rather insistence that I finish a couple of chapters soon.

 

[Untamed_Heart]

well...writing chapters, though dry etc, can keep you occupied a little at least, stave off a bit of the boredom... Besides, you can have your hands full at least some of the time keeping me company which might help a bit, though i will admit, it isnt quite as good as going out.

Can I grab you a coffee or something?

 

[cgraven]

Ah Coffee would be great Untamed.

I watch as untamed goes to pour the coffee and I think how long it has been sense I held a pretty young Miss in my arms.[/]

Well I guess writing is at least something.

 

[Untamed_Heart]

bringing Cg his coffee, I take up a long remembered position, perched on the arm of his chair, one leg on the floor for balance, the other tucked behind its knee. Slowly I take a sip of my coffee rolling it in my mouth to savor its flavour

Your turn Cg, it seems my young miss has no idea of the games she is playing

time to practice some of those writing skills so your publisher doesnt get mad at what you turn in to them chuckles

 

[cgraven]

Yes I am afraid you are correct Untamed but I am off to see what your young Miss is up to.

Taking my coffee from her hand I smile as I sipit.
