4 days past her due date and my sis still hasn't had her baby. I've become impatient now. It's almost as if the child is mocking how much we want to hold him. Little booger.
Hailey had her second soccer game of the season this morning. They lost, but Hailey was named MVP of the game by her team. She was a little dynamo out there. Zip here, zag there, she rocked it. I missed most of the game because one of the moms was giving me tips on good Droid apps and I was totally enraptured by them. FYI, Where is one of the coolest apps I've run across. What can't that thing do? Nothing, that's what.
I also had a flash of an idea for a new story. Let me rephrase that - I had the binding idea for a story that's been rattling around in my head since I first decided I wanted to be a writer. I couldn't figure out how my main character would be weakened when we first run across her at the beginning and it was there in all it's unfettered glory today. It was almost scary how completely it worked. Anyway I wrote about three pages on that today. It's dark. Really, really dark. Even for me.
I also finished the book that was killing me slowly yesterday.
Book #73 - Acheron (Dark-Hunter #16) by Sherrilyn Kenyon - This book covers Acheron's life from the first assassination attempt on him before he was born up until it catches up with the current Dark-Hunters. The first half of the book is brutal. ( It killed me dead and hid the body )
-and-
Book #74 - One Silent Night (Dark-Hunter #17) by Sherrilyn Kenyon - After that brick of a last book, this one was cake. Good cake, but still cake. Stryker is the adopted son of Apollymi, the Atlantean Goddess of Destruction and Ash's mother. He's been fighting to destroy Ash and the Dark-Hunters since the beginning of the series, plotting behind Apollymi's back to kill her beloved son. Knowing that it would mean his own death, Stryker summons War and makes him flesh to unleash him on Ash and Nick, Ash's best friend and (fairly) newly turned Dark-Hunter. Just to complicate things, Stryker's 1st wife (he believes she has been dead for the past 11 centuries) appears with orders from Artemis to kill him. Yikes. There's a lot of new info thrown around regarding the Powers that are higher than the Gods and those that police them. It sounds terribly complex, but it really adds another layer to the entire mythology of the series that Sherrilyn Kenyon has been hinting at over the past several books. It was interesting seeing Stryker in a different light. Obviously, he's a bad guy. He kills without remorse but he has a code of honor that he sticks to that's intriguing. Nick's story deepened with this book, as well. I'm simply itching to get my hands on where he ultimately fits in to the grand scheme of things.
I am a wee bit worried that I only have two more books in this series. What am I going to do once I finish them? What? Tell me!
Okay. I think I'm done now.
Later.
