Wow, the 1st  thing I realized when doing this entry, was my error on my last 2 prev entries.  I had used the word

commas, when in fact, it should have been apostrophes.  Big oops!  But, anyway ...

The countdown for our Vac has officially started.  Everyone is sooo excited.  We even bought a new camera for the

occasion.  The one we had lasted eight years, so not a bad track record.  

Also couldnt resist and bought Sucker Punch.  Have already watched it a couple times, and thats just since yesterday. 

Tomorrow starts a 4 day work week b/c of the Holiday.  Cant wait.  Having 3 days off in a row is gonna be sweet.  

 P.S.

Looking for more followers on:

So, Im home today!  New schedule started this week.  That means, I have two days off in a row; Tues and Weds, but, also means Im worknig 5 days straight.  Gulp!  That might take some time getting adjusted.  Neat thing is the Hubby is home today.  Hes starting a new game, Rift.  Its a Beta right now.  He says its across between, Aion and Warhammer.  Me, I like to quest and kill S&*%. I Dont PVP.  As Lord Bolio said in, The Guild, "I wake up and say, 'Where am I going to quest today?'"  *snort*  Love just hanging out and 'gaming' w/ my man.    Going to watch him play, see if its something I Might want to try out.  PVE of course.

Watch out for a future blog where I spill about some of my food 'issues'  Heh! 

Ciao for now.  I love comments, so DO IT!  You have to double click on the title of the blog to bring up the comment  box.  Tks!

Hello, eh!

Been working on a new story, and finishing up Creator Born 2.  Been struggling to refocus my direction/energy, whatever ...  My self doubt has me getting lost in my Gaming sometimes, but, I working on it.  Promise.  I have amazing support, and use that to inspire.  That occasional email thanking me for Big Things etc is encouraging.  I remind myself that Thats what its all about.

No worries, though, my felllow gaming chicks, Im still w/ yas!    Its LoTRo right now.  No major interest in Cata.  I need to be able to log in for an hour or so, and log off, if I need to.  Im AFK too much to dungeon crawl, and no interest in doing things that take 40 of my best friends to be able to complete.  Oh, Ive discovered, The Guild.  Funny stuff! 

On a lighter note, my hubby has been off of work this work, and on my days off, weve been going for walks.  I love that quiet time together.  I think we still, after about 10 years of knowing each other, are learning from and about each other.  Im grateful to have someone that challenges me, that doesnt let me use Anything as a crutch.  xoxoxo

P.S.  Still thinking of tat, and a nose ring.  Hah!

Wow! 

I wish I knew where to begin.  Theres been soo much going on over the last year.  I feel Im in a 'good' place right now, and that should reflect in keeping up w/ my writing and my Sites.

Im encouraged by the wonderful Ladies w/ T.S. that Im meeting through FB, and pray that connection continues through 2011.

So, please, I welcome comments, emails etc.

Checking in after a Very long time. Been busy w/ mundane rl stuff. Hoping to post more about T.S. - I honestly update my writing blog a little more. If you care to check in out, its at: http://creatorbornonline.com, and the T.S. site is: http://turnersyndromeplace.com - links to twitter and fb can be found on both.

Food issues are kicking in again, and Im trying to make sense of them. I Know there are issues b/c of having T.S. and of course the other zillion things in my life that make me 'crazy and confused'. They just manifest themselves in my diet, exercise, etc ... so I become hungry, cranky and a bit worried. So, ya ...

Its hard to know proper weight, etc for your height, when your heights not on an adult chart. Heh!

Anyway, b/f I babble even more ...
Ciao!

Been kinda reflective lately. The whole aging and T.S. thing is starting to hit me. Not necessarily worred, but ... maybe its just the fact that Im about to turn 39. There are just so many things I have to keep an eye on. The heart, the lungs, the hormones, the thyroid, the bone density, the hearing, the eyesight ... yeah you get the picture. I mean, Im actually over middle age now for someone w/ T.S.??? Weird. Guess Im changing a few things to ensure Im controlling at least what I can health wise.

On a brighter note: Hah! The book still doing OK on amazon. Couple things I want to do to 'tweak' it.

OMG somehow, this is my 3rd attempt at this entry.  Gah!

Anyway.  Hello!    I know its been awhile, and I apologize for not blogging sooner.  I update my writing Site alot more.  For some reason I keep em separate.  Anyone care to psycho analyze and let me know why?  lol

Just been feeling really - rushed - is the best word.  So much I want to accomplish, and like, yesterday.  Keeping up w/ my blogs, my writing, the websites, and of course personal time, and time w/the hubby, and what I want to do at work.... its annoying that I frustrate easily, and overwhelm easily.  It sounds like alot, but I know, deep down, my plate isnt That full, so to speak.  Women, I think are suppose to be everything and do it all, And do it w/ lipstick and a miniskirt on.  Personally I blame it on feminism.  Hah!  Part of me wishes for the 50s (only a part for obvious reason) - that way I can play housewise, and write all day. 

Anyway, Im whining, and I know this is nothing I probably havent griped about b/f.

And pls dont forget to check for Chat Times!  Tomorrow around 2pm from the WebSite.

P.S.  Contest on Lulu.com - pls if you havent, check out my autobio and or short story collection.  If I win, will donate $100 to a T.S Society Chapter.

My Father passed last Thursday night, Friday morning - Fri the 12th.  Its hard even to know what to say - but I think it might help to write it down, I mean, this is a journal afterall. 

Yesterday was my 1st day back to work.  Family flew me into town last Monday night, Tues morning.  I guess the 8th / 9th.  As you can imagine, the last week and a-half has been a blur.  Im so grateful that I at least got to say goodbye.  Being 700 miles from home, thats always been my biggest fear. 

He didnt want any kinda viewing, wake, funeral.  We had ppl coming by the house though, offering condolences etc.   Seen family that I havent in years upon years.  Estranged is the wrong word, but, a couple sibling that we havent really been in too much contact w/.  Were saying it was his final accomplishment - bringing the family back together. 

Its hard, but everyone says itll get a little easier.  I dont think no matter how you prepare (which no one was - this was a shock to put it midly) you can never really be - its still going to be devastating.

My husband reminds me that he was a good man, that lead a good life, and hes no longer in pain, and is in a better place.  What more could we ask for, right? Other than the obvious.

P.S.  Without being presumptious I hope, but for anyone who might be interested, were advising that if a donation is made, its to either a heart and stroke foundation, or a war veterans foundation - my father was a Korean War Vet, and had taken a stroke in - goodness, 1980 I think.

Thank you, sincerely.

It was a quiet evening, but, nice.  I added a pic of our 1st pumpkin carving.  While we waited for the 'rugrats' we got caught up w/ our TruBlood -  it took a bit, but, we really got into the series.  Its great to have a series that we Both like and can enjoy together.  We cant miss House either, each week.  Need the 6th season of charm on dvd  muahaha

Big Things in Little Packages is officially on Amazon now, same w/ the fantasy short story collection  - you can check it out just by searching my name - Shirley Vallee Hiter.

Work is really draining.  Im seeing a Chiro now. once a week, trying to 'destress'.  My shoulders become one great big knot by the end of the week.  Anyone have any other ideas for relaxation?  hehe  I want to buy a half decent kettle, and start drinking some calming tea or something.

Cashing in our circutcityrewards - i Need a new webcam.  Harry doesnt mind me using them for it, which is cool. Once i went to vista, the one i have no longer works.  Meh!

Outa here for now.

buh bye!

 

 

Yay!  Im in Cornwall!  I wasnt thinking Id be able to get here until April or May of 2009, but my beautiful Sister and brother-in-law gave me their airline miles.  I was able to fly for like a quarter of the cost, so made it feasible.  The first year in your first home can be brutal.  Heh! 

My niece and newphew took time out to come and see me, which meant the world to me.  Theyve turned into such amazing adults.  Gawd, Im getting old.  Hah!  Also, I got to see a cousin (Anna) Thank you cuz, over and over, thank you!    and a couple aunts, and Tracy!  It was sooo wonderful to spend some time w/ her.  Thank you sooo much, Girlfriend for takin the time.  It meant alot!  (Beams)

Later on today we head to my Sisters for a few hrs.  Woot!  Get to check out the their new home, and turkey.  lol

I downloaded some pics, so take a look-see!

The best to you and yours.

Shirley!
