Ruminations on a Life in Progress

I've been at livejournal since who knows when, but after the recent kerfluffle, I decided that I wanted a safe space to call home. Looks like I'm not the only one, given that most everyone I know seems to have migrated over here as well.

Liza is now nine. God, how did that go by so fast? To commemorate, she got seven stitches in her foot last night. Apparently, when Mommy told the demons to stay out of the office because there are things in there they can get hurt on - she really meant it.

We bought a house! It's big and comfy and omg all ours! No mom, no annoying ex hubby - bliss. Closing is sometime around the end of april.

I'm going to be in DC all next week - hanging out with the Army boys at the big army aviation show. woohoo, let me contain my excitement. Only bonus is that this show usually has the best toys, plus I'll be home in time for Friday's ep of BSG - thank god.

Divorce looks like it might actually happen sometime this year - possibly around august or sept, depending on when the state gets done with dealing with the contempt summons that dipshit's under. He blew off court completely, I guess he figured he was too good to show up or something. Whatever, I just want it done.

Aphrodite's Apples is closing, effective February 13, 2008. It was a difficult decision to make on our part, but we feel it will be best for all parties involved. We are not having financial issues, and final royalties shall be calculated and paid out in a timely fashion. We appreciate all the time you've spent on this company, and consider it a privilege to have worked with our authors and readers. Thank you,

--Aphrodite's Apples Press

so, second date of the new year, second guy of the new year... match.com and eharmony are lots of fun :P Nothing earth shattering yet, but the year's still young.

I can't believe it's January again, it seems like it was just yesterday that it was the beginning of 2007.

Happy Birthday Andrea!

I wish you nothing but joy and hope for the coming year!

Tracy, I hope you have a lovely day!

I was scrolling friendsfriends tonight and came across a post from mistress_mab about her friend Erin. Having been on the wrong end of the Insurance industry in America, I decided to pass this one along. It's painless, she's not asking for handouts or money, although god knows enough people do that on lj, it's just simply clicking a link and downloading a letter that you can trash once you've read it.


I need a favor from you guys. A very good friend of mine is going through something very serious - life threatening serious. And you can help out. I don't need your money, just maybe five minutes of your time, a little more if you're willing to repost this on your journal. Click the link to read more.

Pay it forward.

ok, given the insanity that is ruling around here, I got two other journals just to be on the safe side.

I'm angylinni at greatestjournal, Insanejournal and Journalfen.

Friend at will, I'm pretty bad about keeping this journal updated, but I am going to make an attempt. I'm probably going to get a writers blog over at blogspot at some point, but for the moment, all of my original stuff will be up at angela_skaggs Please friend that journal if you want to read my works in progress and find out when my books will be published.

oh yes, must pass this one along!
