You won't even share your mom's recipes.

Didn't Gorgeous send you recipes to make your own tamales and such? Why are you still complaining?

I have a 105K behemoth on my screen to attest that I have been writing.  It's the finishing that I need to work on, lol. 

Hey Cassie!  Wishing you the best on getting it done.  Look forward to reading it.

Hi Spike!  I actually think sassy is more of a compliment than insult.  If I wished to insult Drew I would use words like mouthy and insolent.

Gorgeous is also generous and not stingy with recipes.  He and I share occasionally.  As for calling you out for saying you are sharing, I just love to hear you whine!

Sweetie, the one whining is you.

I freely admit that I share my nukes, but I also share more than that.  

Torturous math equations for example.

Trying to correct your misconception of the word sharing is not whining.  It is a lost cause however.  🤪

Pictures only to tempt us, but  you never hand over the recipes!  That's cruel and inhuman. 

Whining.

I wasn't aware you read my work.  I only got 1,000 words yesterday, but they were solid scenes, so I'm feeling better about it.

Hey Bucket!  You way ahead of me for the holiday shopping.  I need to get started.  Hope you  had a good weekend.

I am so proud of myself 

I was doing a bit of organizing and found a book I bought for my sister a few months ago (grabbed it while it was on sale). I had totally forgotten about it and now it’s wrapped and ready for her birthday 

crossing fingers you have recovered from the hangover

[Headstall]

Happy Sunday, all!

The only thing I learned from group projects is that I hate group projects.

There's usually one slacker who always expects everyone else to do the work, and then they can just write their own name at the top of the paper. As for me, it was always the opposite problem: someone tries to takeover the whole project, leaving nothing for the other participants to work with.

There were definitely groups where no one wants to do the heavy lifting.  The worse group I was in was in college, when everyone (myself included) was pussyfooting around because no one wanted to take a leadership role.

No one is really slacking but différents schedules and methodes are clashing and having a bad influence on our friendship 

Things is I've been working with Deborah since last year (yet we've only work just the 2 of us once) and it was friendship at first sight, we have the same way of thinking to the point we're finishing each othe sentences and my thinking can go all over the place and she manages to makes sense of it all on the paper. She works one day per week 2h30 away and has to deal with inflammatory pains. She lives above me.

On the other side there's Sarah who we get along very well outside of work and who had to face a lot in the last few months (miscarriage, discovering she would never be able to carry to term, a stomach abces and a suicide in her family) plus she works a lot and when she's not working she's resting from exhaustion (cause she doesn't want to depends on her boyfriend she lives with). And Friday evenings are spend with her boyfriend. 

So Sarah seems to thinks Deborah and I have secret meetings without her cause things are so fluide between us and we like to not wait the weekend before a presentation, to brainstorm on every free moments we have between classes instead of working separately and just putting it all together at the last moment.

And then there's me trying to keep the peace between those 2 who can be hot heads... 3 is not a good number
