One Thousand Gifts-13

Captain’s Log, Stardate 11.30.2006

I’m participating in the “One Thousand Gifts” list from Christian Women Online. Click on the picture to find out more about it.

326. I exercised yesterday!
327. Yummy apple blossom green tea from the Republic of Tea
328. My heating pad to keep my lap warm when I can’t write in my comfy bed because the Alphasmart keyboard keeps my husband awake
329. Fall and Winter. Because I’d much rather be cold than hot—when I’m cold, I can put on more layers, but if I’m hot, there’s nothing more to do other than running around nekkid.
330. Have I mentioned already that ROBIN’S GOING TO BE ACFW PRESIDENT!!!
331. Have I mentioned already that CARA’S GOING TO BE ACFW PUBLICITY OFFICER!!!
332. Have I mentioned already that ANE’S GOING TO BE ACFW ZONE OFFICER!!!
333. The excitement as we wait for election results
334. The book I got for review a couple days ago, Merely Players by Kathleen Kovach, my fellow “Night Watch” writing buddy.
335. The Velveteen Mommy by another nighttime writing buddy, Jenn Doucette
336. The new smaller earbuds my husband got for me because the old ones are a little too large for my small Asian ears
337. My husband’s cold is getting better
338. I’ve been slowing down and having good quiet times the past couple days.
339. My SAYSF email group is SO FUNNY!
340. Potato chips are one of the most wonderful things ever invented. Second only to French fries.
341. I’ve been able to write for several hours at a time the past few days, something I’ve rarely been able to do. Amazing what a deadline will do, even an arbitrary one.
342. My husband came home early yesterday
343. I had remembered to make rice earlier yesterday so when my husband called to ask me to make it, it was already done and we could eat as soon as he came home. It’s the little things.
344. Heather was so happy and well-rested when she was here in San Jose. I’ve never seen her so carefree before. I’m so happy for her.
345. Things are starting to fall into place with my manuscript. I won’t be done with it by the end of today for NaNoWriMo (it’ll be about 80,000 words when it’s done), but hopefully I’ll finish 50,000 words.
346. I like the nice, sore feeling in my muscles when I’ve been exercising. It makes me feel healthy.
347. I’ve been able to get a lot of sleep the past few weeks—I’ve needed more sleep because I’ve been sick.
348. I’m looking forward to taking a day to watch the BBC version of Pride and Prejudice when I finish my manuscript! I will splurge and have scones and pastries and tea with sugar and cream (real cream).
349. I have been able to eat rather healthily the past few days despite NaNoWriMo, making the most of the fact I’ve been exercising.
350. My dog was so cute last night with her nose tucked under her paws as she was sleeping.

No Cold Bums toilet seat cover

Captain's Log, Stardate 08.22.2008 I actually wrote out my pattern! I was getting a lot of hits on my infamous toilet seat cover , and I wanted to make a new one with “improvements,” so I paid attention and wrote things down as I made the new one. This was originally based off the Potty Mouth toilet cover , but I altered it to fit over the seat instead of the lid. Yarn: any worsted weight yarn, about 120 yards (this is a really tight number, I used exactly 118 yards. My suggestion is to make sure you have about 130 yards.) I suggest using acrylic yarn because you’re going to be washing this often. Needle: I used US 8, but you can use whatever needle size is recommended by the yarn you’re using. Gauge: Not that important. Mine was 4 sts/1 inch in garter stitch. 6 buttons (I used some leftover shell buttons I had in my stash) tapestry needle Crochet hook (optional) Cover: Using a provisional cast on, cast on 12 stitches. Work in garter st until liner measures

Year of the Dog serial novel, chapter 5

I’m posting a Humorous Christian Romantic Suspense serial novel here on my blog! Year of the Dog is a (second) prequel to my Warubozu Spa Chronicles series. Year of the Dog serial novel by Camy Tang Marisol Mutou, a professional dog trainer, is having a bad year. While renovating her new dog kenneling and training facility, she needs to move in with her disapproving family, who have always made her feel inadequate—according to them, a job requiring her to be covered in dog hair and slobber is an embarrassment to the family. She convinces her ex-boyfriend to take her dog for a few months … but discovers that his brother is the irate security expert whose car she accidentally rear-ended a few weeks earlier. Ashwin Keitou has enough problems. His aunt has just shown up on his doorstep, expecting to move in with him, and he can’t say no because he owes her everything—after his mother walked out on them, Aunt Nell took in Ashwin and his brother and raised them in a loving Christ
