eisakay	8:16p	New Layout I've changed the layout here, another the fulcrum creation. I like it. My only problem with it is that I don't have a paid account so I can't change the position of the mood theme to the bottom. But otherwise it's awesome. Current Mood: accomplished (Comment on this)
deliriumbubbles	3:39p	Hetfic: Been Waiting to See the Resolution in Your Eyes Title: Been Waiting to See the Resolution in Your Eyes Pairing: Chlark Rating: GA Warnings: Spoilers through "Arctic." Hints of J-Lo. Summary: Clark Kent hasn't seen Chloe since before his showdown with Lex Luthor in the arctic. One year on New Year's Eve, she returns. Word Count: 3621 AN: This was written for butifulyletdown for the secret_chlark holiday challenge. ( Clark was never the type to make New Year's resolutions, partially because his father had always stressed doing things when they needed to be done, instead of putting them off for another day when it was more convenient. ) Current Mood: accomplished (Comment on this)
arianstarr	3:45p	Sticky Post This journal is pretty much just a backup copy of my LJ account (of the same name). Everything there is here, with the exception of original comments, embedded media, tags (which I never set up over here to begin with) etc., that just doesn't transfer over. If you're on my LJ flist but not my IL flist, you won't see flocked entries. As I did have some fic backed up here already and didn't care enough to move those entries, you may find some fic repeats itself. For anyone looking to know how I made the backup, click here for a tutorial from brown_betty on LJ. (Comment on this)

digitalwave	4:02p	Wow! See Snoopy doing his Happy Skating Dance? That's what I feel like doing, too! We got our new (to us) table and chairs delivered today. Steve bought it over a bit ago and Lee is upstairs putting it back together even as we speak. It's gorgeous! It's barely a year old so it really is like new. I can't imagine having the money to just buy another dining room set like that because this one didn't quite fit with the style of the house they're remodeling in old Louisville. But I'm sure not complaining. Steve wouldn't let us give him anything for it. He said he's happy to keep taking things out in trade for graphics and web design from us as he needs it. The neat thing is, since it's still so new, Ashley Furniture still carries the set. It's called the Cross Island collection. If we can ever afford to we'll add the two Arm chairs for the end and two additional Side chairs for in the middle. Then it'll seat eight people. It has four chairs with it now. I was thinking of maybe using mom's Wormy Chestnut fireplace bench if it's high enough on one of the sides for now. Then I'll put the other chairs one on either end and two on the other side. If it doesn't look too dorky to use it that way. I can't believe how pretty it is! And I'm more than bowled over by Steve and Eddy's generosity in giving them to us. It's so much larger than my old dinner table, it measures 78" with the leaf in place. My Christmas runner just lays on top of it now, it doesn't cover over the ends of the table but it still looks nice. I've got the arrangement mom made for me in the middle with candles on either side. I'll take pictures once we finish getting everything back in place. This is just so neat! :) (Comment on this)

digitalwave	10:04p	Probably a really crazy idea... But it's one I've been thinking about for a while. OTW, and the projects they've got going, is what made it start percolating even more in my head. For a long while now I've watched so many people I care about here online struggling through illness, the loss of jobs, sudden house emergencies that sucked already strained finances dry and so many other unexpected disasters. Each time I've wished that there was something I could do. More than once I've seen you guys rally behind someone who needed help in fandom. I know because I've been on the receiving end of that help more than once. Believe me when I tell you that when it's come it's been a life-saver that I can never hope to explain to you. In a time of need that I never want any of you to know first-hand. First off, let me say that if we ever did my suggestion I'd be happy to excuse myself from ever benefiting from it. This recommendation isn't done in hope of any gain of mine. It's made in the hopes of helping others. What would you guys think about our setting up some kind of fannish emergency trust fund? It could be something that we could all contribute to when we had a little extra money and it could sit somewhere until it was needed. Just think, if even just a hundred people sent in as little as $10.00 there would be a thousand dollars in the fund in no time. Think how much good could be done with that amount alone. We've got so many CPA's, accountants and other people who handle money all of the time in their real lives that I'm sure that we could come up with someone to govern it. Heck, it could even be in the form of an elected board of governance if you thought that would work. When we heard of someone who needed help, whether directly or though a friend submitting their name for aide, then the decision could be made to send them something from the fannish fund. It wouldn't have to be a lot. Believe me, when your back is against the wall any gift is manna from Heaven. What do you think? Good idea, bad idea? Too silly to ever succeed? I'd love to know your thoughts on this. Feel free to pass this around if you'd like, see what other people think of my crazy idea. I look at all of the good we do with something like wish_list during the holidays and it makes me wish that there was more that we could do to help one another all year long. Fandom can be such an amazing force for good. I don't think that there's anything we can't accomplish if we just put our mind to it. *hugs* (Comment on this)
digitalwave	8:08p	Happy New Year everyone! I'm sorry that I haven't been around, mom's daycare has been closed most of the last couple of weeks so I've had her 24/7. I love her so much, and I don't mind taking care of her, but it's translated to my not having any free time. I wish that she were doing better, she's still pretty congested and gets short of breath on exertion. I just gave her an extra 80 mg of lasix with her daily meds and I'm going to the drug store in a bit to get more Robitussin DM. It's a cough syrup that she can take with her high blood pressure. Plus it has an expectorant that should help loosen up some of the congestion in her lungs. I'll have to see how she does tonight. If she's not doing better by tomorrow I'll have to take to the doctor. She was in the hospital last January, I sure hope that we're not heading there again. I've got a prescription to restart her physical therapy. I'm also going to ask about doing pulmonary therapy as well to see if it will help. I'm hoping to get the rest of the packages I owe out in the mail by Saturday, barring any major complications. There's just a few more to go but I want everyone to enjoy their goodies. Guys, thank you so much for the things you've gotten from me. It's meant the world to us and helped keep us going in a month that we were really short. I hadn't had a chance to tell you but I did get the extension and I got the water bill paid on the 30th which was a huge relief. Also, I've been paying extra each month for the last five months and with the payment I'll be making to our mortgage company tomorrow we'll be brought current. Now I'll just do my best to keep us that way. I still owe a ton of thanks for all of the beautiful cards that you've sent to us. I'll take pictures to show you how we've got them on display. Several people have gotten me paid time; meret, shay_reynolds (she turned my name into a comm who awarded me a whole year's time!) and some anonymous sweetie who didn't leave their name. Of course, you guys know that this means you're stuck with me, right? I'd have to stick around to honor your gifts if nothing else. I've also gotten wonderful song mixes; for example, both tyffi and duskwillow sent me beautiful ones that I cherish. itsaslashything sent me a really sweet present of $25.00 which I used on goodies for mom, Lee and Amber. celli sent me an Amazon gift card which I'll use to try and get some things that we can all enjoy, probably some movies in their after Christmas sales. And allzugern got me a $15.00 gift certificate with Agent With Style. As soon as I can I'll check over her site and see what Supernatural goody I can get from her collection of great zines she offers. One of my very best presents was seeing all of the people who signed up with wish_list this year. I wish it was a comm that we kept active all year long just because it's always so amazing to see everyone spreading so much joy and love around. I'm just sorry that I couldn't be as active over there as I would have liked. Like I've said before, no matter what, I am so, so wealthy in all of the ways that really matter. I have my family, who I love more than life, and I have you guys. Those things alone are the very best presents that I could ever hope to have and I truly, truly cherish them. :) Love you guys! *hugs* (Comment on this)

gem225	12:02a	first post of 2009 I have a cough, a cold, and laryngitis. Greg made dinner (sauteed shrimp, red beans and rice, haricot verts), but I couldn't eat much - nothing tasted too right to me. Not the happiest New Year's Eve ever. Christmas went pretty well overall. I didn't enjoy my father calling my sister on her cell phone Christmas Day and the next day because he wasn't feeling well, and I certainly didn't enjoy having to be the one to comfort my sister through all of his calls. We took my two older nieces and my sister to see Aurelia's Oratorio on the second anniversary of my mother's death, December 27th. The nieces enjoyed it a lot. One of the scenes upset my sister, and then she found out that their checking account was overdrawn, which panicked the hell out of her. 2008 had its good times, but I really am ready for 2009 to be here. Happy New Year, friends. Current Mood: drained (Comment on this)

drkcherry	9:49p	Pumpkin bread has been achieved...sort of I finally got to use my brand new Kitchen Aid 5 quart mixer. It was lovely. I have been trying to make pumpkin bread for over a week, but things kept getting in the way. ER visit for an ear infection, lethargy from Robaxin due to neck, shoulder and clavicle pain...dying mine and the bratlets head orange (it was supposed to be red, but that damn booster!) Re-dyed mine and the youngest bratlet's head...I have orangey-red roots where my gray was...dying it black next weekend...sigh. Anyway, used the mixer and poured the mix into my brand new stonewear mini loaf pans. I had enough batter to make a full loaf. Er, I used too much mix because the loaf rose a tad too high. Getting those mini crumbled loafs out was a bitch. Oh, I also made lasagna on Friday. The husband and I finished the last of it tonight. I really need a bigger dish for it, as the layers ended up pretty high and it kind of bubbled over. Good times baking baby...good times. (Comment on this)

digitalwave	10:11a	Art: An Unkindness of Ravens (PG No Pairing) Title: An Unkindness of Ravens Artist: Digitalwave Fandom: Supernatural Characters: None in this but the story has Jeff/Misha w/ a side of Warrior!Jensen. Rating: PG Summary: She brings justice as well as Death. And he's bound in blood to serve her. Disclaimer: The characters in this artwork remain the property of themselves, Eric Kripke, Robert Singer and related production companies. None of the pretties belong to me, I'm only borrowing them. Notes: This is inspired by nilchance's amazing new connected universe, the Raven Verse. Sweetie, this drew me in so deeply I had to try capture it somehow. The icon is yours as well if you want it. I only hope that you think I did your beautiful story justice. If you'd like to play around with any of my images, whether as icons, wallpapers or whatever, just ask. Credit would be nice. PS I'll be back later to tell you about Christmas Day, right now I need to get mom ready for daycare. *hugs* (Comment on this)
