On Dinner, Shopping and Writing Backwards
Yesterday, I made dinner for the family. It went off without a hitch (which is wonderful considering I can't cook.) I served Two Mustard Chicken- a recipe that I found a while ago in a cookbook that my aunt had given me- and green bean casserole (which I'd never made before). It was very good. Compliments were had. ^_^

Today, I went shopping for new pants and jeans, and was successful! Now, I don't know about the rest of you, but shopping for these two items is a 2 hour process for me. I start by going into the store, looking for just those items. I find just those items in a variety of colors, styles and prices, but all the wrong size, because I like to think I'm still the same size that I was in high school. I take these all to the fitting rooms where I discover that I am, in fact, not the same size anymore. These all get returned. Then, I go looking again for the same items. This time, I narrow it down to my price range. I grab the right size, but throw in a few of the "dream size" just in case that last round was a fluke. At this point, I am now eying other items in the store that I obviously don't need. I finally find a pair of pants and jeans that I like and that fit me. You'd think that now I would be able to leave happily, but no. I simply must try on the items that I was eying earlier. The process begins again, as well as the process of convincing myself that I don't need said items. (This takes quite a while.) At the end of it, I leave with only the new pants and jeans, feeling proud of myself for having willpower. I rush home to a kitty who is ready to maul me for hunger. (eek)

Also today, I made a backwards outline of GK (formerly TGG), and after two failed attempts at getting this WIP rolling forwards, I think I may actually have something with going backwards. I've broken everything up into scenes and am now working on typing the Epilogue. Quite a bit has changed, and I like it. I don't want to give too much away, but I am wondering how my critique groups are going to handle getting the last bits first. I hope they like it. It's a little unconventional, but then again, I'm hoping that's what GK will turn out to be.
