Deployment Journal - Day #112

 [10:31:44 PM] Hubby: How is your Book review?

[10:31:53 PM] Hubby: Did you like it?

[10:32:02 PM] Hubby: Oh wait... it's only Tuesday night for you.

[10:32:12 PM] Hubby: Do you like it?

[10:32:33 PM] Me: No  =(  I not like it

[10:32:34 PM] Me: It is boring.

[10:32:37 PM] Me: Very drab.

[10:33:00 PM] Me: I'm trying to improve it, but I've just started to add completely unnecessary adjectives, heh

[10:33:02 PM] Me: So, I stopped

[10:33:04 PM] Me: And tried again

[10:33:16 PM] Hubby: *chuckle*

[10:33:43 PM] Me: But I just helped Dad finish tearing our old CD player apart - the CD changer malfunctioned and ate four of Mom's CD's, so he bought a new one but she wanted the lost CDs back so... yeah.  Lotsa screws on the floor now.

[10:34:17 PM] Hubby: LOL!!!!!

[10:34:22 PM] Me: I think a weekly demolition project would do me good

[10:34:29 PM] Hubby: HAHA!!!!

[10:34:33 PM] Hubby: That's kind of funny...

[10:34:37 PM] Me: I need a tree to hack or something

[10:34:42 PM] Me: Heh, yes kinda

[10:34:46 PM] Me: Funnier a few hours ago  =)

[10:34:54 PM] Hubby: Ah....

[10:35:07 PM] Hubby: Ok. I'll buy you a log and a hatchet.... how's that for a compromise?

[10:35:19 PM] Hubby: You can go out and hack at it for a few minutes every day. =)

[10:35:43 PM] Hubby: I'll make it a thick log so it lasts a while...

[10:36:01 PM] Me: It cannot roll away

[10:36:15 PM] Me: I think I might lose my mind, chasing a log, when I needed to axe it...

[10:36:25 PM] Me: Maybe you can bolt it to the ground  :P

[10:38:06 PM] Hubby: Or I'll get you a square log....

[10:38:09 PM] Hubby: =)

[10:38:13 PM] Me: That'd work.

[10:38:21 PM] Me: Or maybe just a tree stump

[10:38:34 PM] Hubby: *pictures [me] chasing logs trying to hack them....*

[10:38:44 PM] Hubby: That will make for a funny dream tonight....

[10:39:04 PM] Me: Ha

[10:39:18 PM] Me: I wonder when my boring review will feel done

[10:39:25 PM] Me: I'm not sure, shy of "good" where to quit?

[10:39:53 PM] Hubby: Is Kitten in bed?

[10:39:58 PM] Me: Oh yes

[10:40:02 PM] Me: Since... 9:15?

[10:40:09 PM] Hubby: Ok. Then you should be in bed too.

[10:40:16 PM] Me: Uhm, book review

[10:40:23 PM] Hubby: Uhm. Sleep deprivation.

[10:40:30 PM] Me: Hello, I HAVE to turn this in first

[10:40:39 PM] Hubby: Can you turn it in tomorrow?

[10:40:45 PM] Me: No

[10:40:48 PM] Hubby: You probably don't want to.

 [10:40:53 PM] Me: It won't work

[10:41:05 PM] Me: Shall I review my daily morning schedule for you, with a small child?!

[10:41:06 PM] Me: :-P

[10:41:13 PM] Hubby: No. No. I get it.

[10:41:16 PM] Hubby: I'm just concerned.

[10:41:19 PM] Hubby: Send it to me.

[10:41:22 PM] Hubby:  I shall read.

[10:41:33 PM] Hubby: Let's get this done quickly so you can sleep.

[10:41:44 PM] Me: I don't have a final sentence... ugg

[10:41:48 PM] Me: Must keep rewriting it

[10:41:56 PM] Hubby: Email. It. To. Me.

[10:41:59 PM] Hubby: =)

[10:42:06 PM] Hubby: *stern knightly voice*

[10:42:23 PM] Me: I don't want to send an unfinished draft!  It's bad enough to send a draft

[10:42:24 PM] Me:  :-(

[10:42:40 PM] Hubby: *hugs his princess* But, you're stuck. I shall help.

[10:45:35 PM] Hubby: ... hallo?

[10:45:42 PM] Me: I sent it

[10:45:43 PM] Me: Horrid thing

[10:45:50 PM] Hubby: *chuckle*

[10:46:14 PM] Me: **imagines herself hacking dumb book review with an axe**

[10:53:25 PM] Me: ... you there?

[10:53:37 PM] Me: Are you reading it?

[10:53:39 PM] Hubby: Yes. I’m reading it. =)

[10:53:51 PM] Hubby: And trying to think of things to help make it better.

[10:54:02 PM] Me: … Is it bad?

[10:54:21 PM] Me: I had this delusion you'd tell me "It's fine, you're crazy, just post it" - but I feel like it's ick

[10:54:32 PM] Hubby: I don't think so. =) But I'm reading this from the angle of "You don't like this."

[10:54:52 PM] Hubby: "She doesn't like this, so how can I help her like it."

 [10:55:05 PM] Me: Maybe I am just tired?

[10:55:06 PM] Hubby: Blah....

[10:55:13 PM] Me: Will editor lady think it is blah?

[10:55:17 PM] Hubby: I don't think it's as bad as you're making it out to be.

[10:55:28 PM] Me: But it's kinda bad?

[10:55:28 PM] Hubby: Rather... I don't it's bad at all.

[10:55:33 PM] Me: The chapters were BORING  :-(

[10:55:40 PM] Hubby: *chuckle*

[10:55:42 PM] Me: So I think I had trouble not feeling negative, while writing about them

[10:55:54 PM] Me: Maybe I am just feeling negative, because I am tired

[10:55:55 PM] Me: I dunno

[10:55:58 PM] Me: It exists

[10:55:59 PM] Me: It's coherent

[10:56:13 PM] Me: It's still better than the other girls' reviews... but I like ALL my stuff to be GOOD

[10:56:14 PM] Me: :(

[10:56:29 PM] Me: DOES it seem flat?

[10:58:16 PM] Hubby: I think it's a fine review. It's not as peppy as some of your other ones... but hey. The last one touched on a subject that was near and dear to your heart... so this one may seem a little less energetic. But, is it objectively flat? I don't think so. It's just more journalistic.

[10:58:28 PM] Me: Huh.

[10:58:30 PM] Me: Hate journalism.

[10:58:35 PM] Hubby: LOL!

[10:58:41 PM] Me: This is why I didn't do journalism

[10:58:48 PM] Me: I got A+’s on every assignment

[10:58:51 PM] Me: The wannabe-journalists hated me.

[10:58:57 PM] Me: But, I... no likey journalism.

[10:59:08 PM] Me: So blah.  So boring.  No impact.  Just facts.  Facts so boring…

[10:59:10 PM] Hubby: *chuckle*

[10:59:22 PM] Hubby: You're funny. *grin*
