I love the friending going on right now, as I make no secret I love interacting via IJ/LJ f-lists, so gaining all these new people makes me very happy. YOU ARE ALL FABULOUS.

So busy with HoG, though admittedly with less threadage than the first few days, which is good. New game adrenaline resulting in a mess of threads and journal exchanges is always fun, but I like to eventually get to the point where it is an alternating pattern, sometimes scrambling around reacting to other character's actions and hijinx and sometimes a chill period where what I'm working on is something I specifically went looking for or specifically came to me. ALL DRAMA ALL THE TIME is taxing, but conversely, my RP being entirely me-led is frustrating, so balance is always good, for any game.
Easter was swell as always - the munchkin enjoyed it once she was past the initial "o.O omg who are all of you?!" because Husband Boy's extended family is so huge. I should upload pictures, but I'll likely wait until I upload her birthday pics in two weeks. She's going to be ONE. ONE. It's so shocking.
The next two weeks are going to be somewhat devoted to getting the munchkin's scrapbook together and learning the Art of Cake Decorating, so I think I'm going to spend part of today getting my mini cakes baked and frozen for use in practicing techniques. As I know which things (construction, flowers, leaves, etc) I need to know for this cake in two weeks, I'm starting directly with those, instead of trying to master every design element right off the bat, so I have time to perfect what I need. And that's as far as I'm letting myself think about it, as every time I learn some new crafty skill, I start have delusions of doing things with it. Cake decorating would just not be a good thing to try as a side venture beyond family cakes as my kitchen is just not equipped. The party cake is going to be cooked at my parent's as it is because my kitchen is tiny and my oven hates me.
I am sleeping at night like a normal person for more than just a few days in a row, so hooray to me, and of course to the munchkin for making it possible. I like waking up before afternoon, even if there was a time in my life that sleeping all day was awesome, as my head feels clearer and I stay alert much longer into the evening.
So how are all of you?!
