Whacha up to?

I'm told I have an accent. A Utah accent. Apparently, we have a hard time finishing our words, slurring and dropping the final consonants. So, "What are you up to?" becomes "whacha up to?" I loffed because it's SO true. Now, not only do I have a slight lisp from time to time, I have a lazy consonant accent.
Today, I spent most of my time working on a submission packet for a literary agent. I'll be shipping it off this week. Expect a rejection in three to six weeks! And remember, statistically, I must be rejected at least ten times before I have a chance of being published. :-) This will be rejection number four. *giggle*
I also worked on my research work, though I'll be spending most of my hours this week reading a diary downtown at the church archives. We had a huge thunderstorm roll through, drop hail, and flicker the lights and satellite.
I went in search of Eureka comms and found some loverly people to discuss this wonderful show with. But I think I'll still torment you with thoughts on tonight's episode. Tonight, they changed love interests on us. Now Sheriff Carter is not in love with Allison. Well, I think he might still be in love with her but she has sort of gone back with her estranged husband Nathan Stark. Stark is a genius scientist who is very snarky and always makes fun of Sheriff Carter. He brings a smile to my face. Anyway, it was kind of sudden. But then, the dry cleaner lady Sheriff Carter went out with did save his life. So maybe it's one of those hero complex things?
You can expect much squeeing over Burn Notice on Thursday. And I shall refrain from bouncing around and saying, "Why aren't you watching these shows?" (I know, they're not available everywhere.) :-) *innocent*
I also found a program that I can use to sort my thesis notes. Yay thesis!
Okay, I'm off. I'm sure I have more important things I'm supposed to be doing.Mood of the Moment:  chipper |

I've had a bad day. I hate today. And it started last night!
I went looking for my long-contest fic and couldn't find it. I wanted desperately to work on something positive and meaningful and fulfilling. Especially after last night's final email check. Once again, I will not be allowed to list "toys" on amazon.com this holiday season. Reason: I won't have enough customer feedback scores. I need five between September 20th and November 19th. I sell only one or two items a month and only half of the customers ever come back to leave feedback. This is so not fair! I have 100% satisfaction over two years! I have only ever screwed up one order out of about fifty, and that one was on my non-amazon.com storefront. *cries*
So for the fic. (I told you all that I was entering writing contests this fall?) I couldn't find it on my jump drive or my gaming computer's hard drive. So I pulled up the copy I thought was most recent but as I was re-reading it, I realized that it wasn't right. I had reworked the hunting scene but here it was, un-re-worked! So I bagged it and stuck in Rocky Horror Picture Show again. Sing-along fun! Then I went to bed.
Because of the heat, I did not sleep well. I tossed and turned all night and then finally fell asleep around 6 am. I woke up at 9:30 and decided to check my laptop for my long-contest fic. And it was there. So at least I didn't lose it completely.
Then I lurked around various flists and such. It was at this time, that I was informed my boss had not approved my time card... AGAIN!! GaH! Another year of absentminded professor may keel me. So I have to go pick up a paper check on Friday. This is not horrible, just annoying.
Finally, I went to work. But someone had died!! So everything was closed! And I had to stand around in 100+ heat for an hour waiting for the bus. I became dehydrated and developed a migraine before it appeared.
I came home, spilled the sugar while making my iced tea (after I'd had three glasses of water.) I decided to bag the working for the day. So I went and took a nap.
Now, I'm watching Eureka. Remember? My new fandom obsession. Are you sure no one else watches it? Do any of my new friends watch it? I love this show!
Tonight, Sheriff Carter is walking around nekkid! Sci-Fi Channel! Check it out!
Very few things will make today worse. I'm going to sit here and watch TV and work on my book.
