Yes yes, it's been awhile since I've given a real update on my life.
Truth is, there's not much to tell right now. The story with Krys is going great, my Stargate stories are back on track, work is fine, friends are fine. My life is somewhat boring right now. But that's ok. I have my stories to keep me occupied while my friends are away.
This is one amazingly short post. Rather have that then me boring y'all to death!

Eternal Thoughts
One of my bestest friends has said that she'd like to start a story together. So we've started the blog. I'll be writting some, and she'll be writting some.
I've always loved doing this, and when our story sells big, I'll have no problem sharing the authorship, as long as we put the names in alphabetical order ;)
Krysta will be teaming with me on the new blog, Eternal Thoughts, and I'm excited.
Check it out and let us know what you think.

Behind the Desk
"Lola!" Kascie, Taye's older sister shouted when she looked up from her desk. She jumped out of her chair and hugged Lola.
"Hi Kase." Lola said, hugging her back.
"Are you here for the job?" Kascie asked, sitting back down. When she got an affirmative answer Kascie smiled. "It's been a while Lola. How have you been?" Kascie asked while taking Lola's resume.
Lola shrugged. "I miss Taye more each day. But I'm surviving I guess."
"Are you busy over lunch?" Lola answered by shaking her head. "Want to grab a bite to eat? We have so much to catch up on."
Lola said she'd love to have lunch with her just as the lawyer walked out of his office. He was an older man, just beginning to gray. He had warm eyes and a kind smile. He held his hand out for Lola and she shook it with a smile on her face. "Do you two know each other?"
Kascie nodded vigorously. "She was my brother's wife."
He nodded. "I'm sorry." He said quietly. Lola appreciated the gesture. "I'm Donald St. Thomas." He said after a few moments. "Please, come into my office Mrs. Knight."
Lola followed him down a hallway that was adorned with pictures of a variety of people. He caught her staring at them and explained that they were foster children he and his wife had taken in. Lola smiled again. She liked this man. He seemed very kind to her.
Lola left the office feeling almost happy an hour later. She promised to be back at noon to meet Kascie for lunch. After getting into her car she made calls to the other places she'd sent her resume. She thanked them for the opportunity, but she'd just been hired some place else. They thanked her for being considerate and calling them.
After the calls were done, Lola drove to the mall to buy some new work clothes. She had to look more professional, and besides, shopping always made her feel better.

Curves
Yep. I joined Curves For Women today. Cost me a pretty penny...but it'll be worth it in the end...I'm sure of it. The lady...can't remember her name for the life of me, said that I am at high risk for type II diabetes, which is treated with pills, and y'all know how I am with those things. So I'm starting this program at a good time.
She asked me two reason why I really wanted to join Curves, other then be healthier, and I said one of them was...well, i can't remember one of my reasons, but my other was revenge. Hee. She liked that. I told her that my ex basically told me he didn't want me, and so I wanted to loose weight, look great, and introduce him to sme hottie hot guy and show him what he could have had. I can't wait. No, really, I'm not that evil. I want him to be happy. I just am no longer gonna sacrifice my happiness. I deserve to be happy as much as anyone else, so I'm gonna be. :)
The right guy is out there. I just gotta find him. And forget about this "when you aren't looking" crap, because let's face it, I'm always looking! I'm forever on the prowl. My radar is never turned off. I can spot that empty left hand ring finger from a mile away. That's when I know I'm clear for the flirting. Now, if I can only get up the guts to take it one step past flirting and ask the guy out, then I'd be going somewhere!

Working Title
Lola plopped down on her bed and closed her eyes. He'd been gone for nearly a month, and she still couldn't think about anything else. She thought about him as she went to sleep, thought about him when she woke up, and if she caught herself not thinking about him during the day, when she was too busy to think about anything at all, she felt immensly guilty.
So here she was, trying to sleep, and thinking about him. Silent tears fell to her pillow as country music wafted through her stereo. Tomorrow was going to be a long day if she kept this up. She'd already gone three days with little sleep. With a deep sigh, Lola forced herself to clear her mind. She'd learned the trick years ago from her friend who had dated a doctor. With her mind clear and her breathing regulated, Lola was able to fall into a deep sleep quickly.
The next morning she woke to the alarm feeling refreshed. She'd actually had a dreamless sleep. After her shower Lola prepared to start her day. She had to look for a job. She couldn't live on the money Taye had left her forever. As much as she hated the thought of being out in public, she hated squandering Taye's money even more.
She had a few interviews for the morning. Two were doctor's offices and one was a secretary for some local lawyers. Figuring the lawyers was a long shot, she had scheduled that one first. She was not prepared for what she'd find behind the desk as she walked into the office.

Writting something
I was asked if I was gonna write anything today, and I hadn't actually planned on it, but then the person who asked me said I was a good writer, so on that note, I think I'll make something up.
She was sitting on the pier looking out at the horizon. The sun had just gone down and the wind started to blow. Her red hair flew all about her face, but she didn't notice. Her mind was elsewhere.
Lola was back six months ago. When he was still with her. Taye was a greek god. Tall, handsome, golden. He had a killer smile and dreamy green eyes. And he was hers. All hers. Hers! She was not the person that everyone expected him to be with. She was short, chubby, her hair was straight, and her eyes were a pale blue. There was nothing special about her. Unless you asked Taye. Then he'd tell you that everything about her was special.
Lola sighed as she blinked the tears back. She missed him more then she thought she could bare.
Hee....just a teaser there for ya!
