I couldn't think of a clever title, so that one will do. Celtics are doing well in the NBA playoffs and that's cool. I'm trying to go through the Love Dare again to help Ellice feel loved.
I've been down, but I'm really making an effort to stay positive. I've been in a fair amount of pain lately on top of the feeling down, so that's not helping.
The job situation has changed; I've been transferred to preschool, which makes little sense given my training, but the county does as they will, training and experience notwithstanding. I guess that's what I need to be doing. Ellice is on the hunt again as there was a mass pink-slipping and hers was one of the jobs to go. It will be challenging to get a position in that county, but we'll keep trying. At least we have insurance. We may not be able to afford our apartment, but we'll have insurance.
On the reading front, I've got 19 read so far this year and that puts me ahead of pace. My goal is 50 this year, though I've not cracked 40 in any year previous. Ambitious, no?
Iron Man 2
This movie was fantastic. I love all these Marvel movies and hope they keep cranking them out. Downey is spot on as the egotistical, troubled Tony Stark. Mickey Rourke did an excellent job as the Russian villain, and Cheadle stepped into the role of Rodey well. Just great stuff. Good action, interesting plot and the buildup to the Avengers movie continues with nods to the upcoming Thor and Captain America movies. I can hardly wait. ****

The One in May
I'm probably going to only get one blog in this month, thus the title.
Laurana landed in the hospital last Friday with the stomach bug going around. It's Wednesday and she's just now acting like her usual adventurous, smiley self. It's good to have her back.
I think I've hit on a rhythm in writing. My goal is 2500 words/ week. That boils down to 500 per day, 5 days/week. I find that word count for a goal is better for me than a page or chapter count, especially with work and all that's going on. The 5 days/wk is to try and get me in the habit of producing like a work week. Some day we may do this fulltime, so I have to train myself. It's a dream I have.
I'll sign up for NaNoWriMo closer to this year; probably in October. I'm still hashing out the draft that I won with in November. I'm looking forward to the free professionally made manuscript that was part of the prize. I have until July to submit the draft.
Looking forward to Iron Man 2. Probably will watch it next Saturday after we get paid again.
Pray for us on the job front; we both want to keep/improve ours (just like everyone else, I guess).
Take care and God bless
