Sasha White

Saturday is a day for Katie and Joe. They’ve been waiting for me to get my butt in gear and write their story for almost two months now. AND I was lucky enough to purchase a critique by one of my favorite authors, Angela Knight, through the Trish Jensen Fund Raiser a while back, and I want to send her some of Willing, but I haven’t written any of it yet!

I’m goignto warm up by working on a promsied crit for a short time, then on to my stuff, and then when I need a break from my own characters back to the crit. Basically, I’m glueing my butt to this chair! :)

Christmas is coming!! It’s less than two weeks away. :hehe:

Are you ready? ;)

Am I ready? Uhmm, sorta. :doze:

This weekend I’ll be doing some more baking, and house cleaning, and hopefully …writing. Then on Monday, when everyone else is at work in the afternoon, and the mallis realtively quiet, I’ll be getting the final gifts for my family!

That’s my plan, and I’m stickin’ to it! :D

On Friday night at work I was very upset, due to the hiring of someone I really preferred to not have in my life, and one of my regular customers told me that God was testing me. Well I’m wondering how freaking long this test is going to last? :crazy:

I’m ready to quit my job, quit writing, run away, kill someone, commit suicide (well, ok, maybe not commit suicide…but run even further away). Yet, here I sit. Getting ready to try and just get through another day. I do have faith that everything happens for a reason. and I guess I even believe God is testing me…(Yet, I kinda don’t even believe in GOD per se…but of a higher being.) The only thing I am sure of…is that if this TEST doesn’t end soon. I’m going to need a mental institution, or possibly end up in jail. Strangely, it’s not those things that scare me…it’s the fact that I am, selfishly, so tempted to do some things that I KNOW are wrong, but I want to do them to make myself feel better.

Then again, my Mom always told me. “Look out for yourself, no one else is going to do it for you.”

She was right. Or maybe….Jake!! Where are you and those damn cookies when I need you?

:hehe:

:hehe: YaY Cece!! :hehe:

My other friend and critique parnter, Celia Stuart, has sold!! Her erotic short story will be in the Black Lace Anthology SEX ON HOLIDAY due out in 2005! This is Cece’s first sale…and I’m dancing on the cieling for her!

:hehe: SYLVIA GOT THE CALL!! :laugh:

Sylvia Day my friend and critique partner got THE CALL from Kate Duffy this afternoon. Not only did she get an offer on her novella STOLEN PLEASURESbut she got a THREE NOVELLA DEAL. Three novellas in one book, her own book!!! All Hers!!! Yahooo!!!! :hehe:

And that means that My personal favorite of her historical novellas, LUCIEN’S GAMBLE will also be in it!!

This is a great way to end 2004! I’m so happy for her, and so proud of her. :D

I was very productive this morning. I got on my treadmill for 15 minutes (i’ll work out after work tonite too) and I did a load of laundry, and I played with my cat. All this before 1!!
Okay, I know one in the afternoon seems late to some people, but remember…I work nights, and I don’t get out of bed before 11 at the earliest.

Life is getting a bit more dramatic than I’d like at the moment. Strange forces at work in the universe, bringing people into my life that I’d prefer to never see again, revealing the true nature of people I thought I knew, and opening up new worlds to my eyes.

Some of these are good, some of it . . . not so good.

But I guess, as with everything in life, it will be what I make of it. So I am determiend to remain postive. :)

Here’s a quiz to start the week off.

Werewolves of folklore differ greatly from modern
renditions seen in movies and shows. People
believed there were many ways to become
werewolves, such as drinking rainwater
collected in a wolf’s pawprint, eating meat
gnawed on by a wolf, or being born with a full
set of teeth or covered in a caul. And unlike
movie werewolves, werewolves of old were
oftentimes harmless and highly honorable!

As a werewolf, you are loyal, strong and honorable,
and you will protect all you hold dear with
your very life. Although you are not a violent
individual at heart, you will fight for what
you believe in. You are a good friend and truly
are a wonderful person to be around.

Who is your inner Shapeshifter?

It’s the middle of the night, or early morning Sunday, and I can’t fall asleep because my mind is racing. This blog is titled “Sasha’s Secret Thoughts” and I feel the pressing need to share my jumbled thoughts. I don’t know how else to get my mind to stop racing.

I’m in the middle of a bad situation, and I don’t know how to handle it. You see, I have a lot of acquaintances, and a few people I call “friend” but I only have three Best Friends. One of who is my Mom, who I felt the need to protect and defend on Friday, and another is V, who I have the urge to protect and defend right now.

It all started with the fact that we need a new bartender at work.

I’m a Scorpio through and through. I can be your best friend, or your worst enemy.

Today, I am one ladies worst enemy. Why? Because she upset my Mom.

A little background: My Mom is a {{popup plates.jpg plates 540×405}}glass artisan. She works out of her basement, and makes traditional, slumped, fused stained glass objects as well as hand made beaded jewelry. She works full time in a Home Depot and does trade shows and craft fairs on the weekends. When she can’t make it, or is working one that is particularly busy, I help her. At one such show about a month ago, a little old lady bought a hand crafted {{popup bracelets.jpg bracelets 500×375}}beaded braceletfor $30cdn. (A very good price as most are sold at $45 U.S or more.) I was the one that sold it to her. She was very nice, and her hands shook so bad she asked me to write the cheque and she would just sign it.

About 2 weeks later my mom phoned me up and said that this little old lady’s daughter had called her (I put a business card in the bag for her) and said HER Mom had dropped the bracelet when trying to put it on, and stepped on it and broken it. My Mom, thinking it would be good business and word of mouth said that she would fix/replace the broken bead, (at no charge) but it wouldn’t be for a while because she had shows booked almost until Christmas, and they lived in the next town over.

Today my mom phoned me, upset, and said that this Woman had called and left a nasty message on her answering machine saying, “How dare you take so long to come and fix this” and that she was putting a stop payment on the check. Of course, my mom is upset, this upsets me.

I will be the one to phone this lady back and deal with this situation from now on, not my Mom. My Mom would prefer to just leave it be. I won’t. This lady was very rude, and what she said was uncalled for, and unnecessary. I was the one that sold the bracelet, and I believe that the lady has no right to leave a nasty message (I heard it) in such a cowardly fashion when My mother was going to fix something that wasn’t her fault, at no charge. I am angry, but will be professional, and very firm in why she is dealing with me.
1) This woman made no effort to bring the bracelet to us to be fixed, (as she would with a store)
2) Threatening and nasty will not get you what you want.
3) Cowardly messages on an answering machine will not get you what you want.
4) There was no guarantee on anything; we were going to fix it as a courtesy. Good business.
5) She was told it would take some time, it is the holiday season, and busy.

And if she gets nasty with me..she will be sorry. :plain:

I love my Mom. :)
