Happy Birthday Gabrielle

I hope you have a wonderful day honey!

So as well as the Africander fics which are due this week coming (and which I haven't physically started writing the Tunisian one yet...) I also signed up for an icon challenge contest. I'm not the world's biggest fan of LIMS or LAS challenges (Last Icon Maker Standing/Last Author Standing) - I have nothing against them at all but it's not something that's ever really captured my interest for long. Until now. Yes - I am clearly insane - I signed up for whedon_lims whose first challenge has just been posted. I know I have a lot of great icon makers on my flist so if you're interested, it's not too late to sign up. The actual sign up post is now closed but as I understand it all you have to do is enter the first challenge and you;ll be added to the list of participants. It's a good cap, and should be a great challenge - feel like joining me in my madness?

I am feeling slightly better by the way - kinda. It'll take time and patience, two things I have very little of but what can you do?

INAP update - I'm having trouble getting a definitive answer on whether I can fix the problem or not from the developers, they're kinda ignoring me a little (I think they hope I'll go away soon) so it might end up being quicker to just delete the problem files and upload them again. Hopefully I should have an answer soon, one way or another. Any new stories uploaded will be fine - the only exception being new chapters of stories already affected.

I baked cookies about an hour ago - they're very very nice. :) Only thing is, it's been so long since I made them that I had to check a recipe for the quantities. The 'method' said to mix the dry mix (flour, sugar, chocolate powder) and the butter 'with the back of a spoon'. Yeah, does that work? I started off doing that but it was taking forever so I got stuck in with my hands and had the mix ready in about 30 seconds. Heh!

And, finally, a meme! From acme54 - is anyone surprised at the result?

( mmmmm... coffee )

I've only really been making graphics for contests over the last couple of weeks so I'm not going to make a proper icon post - here's what I have, I'm quite pleased with them (and will be using the 'on the dancefloor' one myself!) - if you want 'em, take 'em!

( I bet that you look good on the dancefloor.... )
