I keep eyeing that tent when I go in the basement.<br /><br />Emma - Thanks! Any progress is still a step forward.<br /><br />Ilana - Lol! I didn't notice that typo *blushes* Of course, your story gets a top 3 in my priority list. . .ummm. . .next week I'll hit it ;)<br /><br />Kitty - Sloppy Joes is a great idea! Hadn't thought of that. Lol! With my own 6, it's a small army. Honestly, I don't mind working on things like the roof.

Cheap, filling, easy. :-)<br /><br />Hmmm . . . did you mean *W* IP, not *V* IP? ;-) Either way, I like it. A VERY Important Project! LOL re: your tidbit rhyme. And 1K words is still 1K more than you had before. It was nice of you to beta, but don't forget to put yourself first! (except when beta'ing my project, of course. Then put me first).

That is something to be proud of! <br /><br />And I love that your book has a treasure hunt in it. My characters traipse about the woods and the creeks and the lakesides, too, and it's making me want to go hiking and camping and swimming and all the summer things!

Though, I do know how it feels to not get as much done as you would have liked. From what you mentioned, you're super busy, so it would be really tough to squeeze in some writing.
