I'm loving this writing frenzy. Having so much fun getting to know my characters. I think I'm enjoying the antagonistic characters as much as I'm enjoying the protagonist. I have this weird character trait of one of the protagonists that makes him so fun, and bit funny to write.
I went grocery shopping tonight and broke down and picked up a new microwave too...our old one can not be too safe, the lining inside is so worn.
I took my oldest son with me shopping, he is a hoot to take shopping, keeps me laughing. He doesn't stop talking the whole time, and usually it is about stuff that I have 0% interest in, but I nod and play along. We went to a house just outside of town to pick up a pair of pants I'd bought for my daughter. I pulled into the yard and she had chickens and roosters walking around her yard. I freaked out! I stayed in the van hoping the woman would notice and come out, but she didn't. I told my son, "I'm just going to get out and hope the chickens leave me alone." I stepped out of the van. They were just going about there merry way, so I thought, "okay this is gonna be alright." Until I started around the house for the back door, and then they started following me. I was freaking out, so I took off on the run to the door, knocked once quickly. and then just opened the door and invited myself in. The man kind of looked offended by that too. :) I got the pants and went on the run back to the van, the chickens and rooster running full speed behind me, clucking. And sure enough I got in the van and my son was laughing his head off. As soon as we got home it was the first thing he told my husband. Glad he was entertained, however I'm traumatized! Aghhh I hate chickens!
Overall a good night, if you can forget the chicken ordeal.
