Leaving in a frozen car

Just tried to go to Walmart... my car door was frozen shut- the lock was frozen. I think it was the rainstorm-freezing combination. It's 31degrees out now. So took boyfriend's car, which meant sitting for 20 minutes in the cold, waiting for the inside to defrost and not refreeze. But went... NO cat carriers. NONE! GAH! I need a bigger one for my cat. But no such luck :-(

Assuming my door opens later today, I think I'm going to take off and drive to my parents'. I'm getting NO work done on the thesis at the comp. I think I need a change of scene and to write it long-hand. It's the only thing I can think to do at this point.

ANyway... I'm tired... I go lie down now... sleep is good... but anyway, just thought I'd mention that I'll probably be taking off tomorrow and will be gone for most of the week- hopefully back Sat. So, no one do anything extraordinarily profound or brilliant while I'm gone, okay? :-)

Oh, and I finished first draft of next chapter of Too Many Cooks... but will not be able to post it until my return... assuming I leave tomorrow. Sorry! There needs to be more sneezing. LOL Funny, my problem's usually the opposite. But I really got into the plot too much with this... needs more sneezing IMHO :-) So sorry for the wait!

Still here

Well, my car needs an oil change, so I'm leaving for Thanksgiving on the dreaded Wednesday of busy travel instead of today.

I just got off the phone with sister who stayed home today... apparently the laughing gas at the dentist's office yesterday made her dizzy for 24 hours so she skipped school. Wow. And she's driving now! Ach! It boggles my mind... to me she's still the skinny little 2-year old we picked up at the airport 15 years ago *sniffles*
She desperately wants to see 'Timeline' so I'm going to take her. It was the first Michael Crichton book I didn't read... but I really want to see it for David Thewlis (even though I think he plays a not so mice guy... again! He does not so nice VERY well though, IMHO) But I LOVE time-travel and I love midieval times and I love 'mission' movies. So I really want to see it, too. Maybe I'll make her drive! Bwahahaha! LOL, no, I have no death wish, never mind. Wait... though that would mean not having to finish my thesis *light bulb clicks on*

Anyhoo... I think I'm going to pop in the X-Men 2 DVD and have something to eat and wait until boyfriend calls so we can go get our oil changed together. Awwww, isn't dat sweeeeeet?! lol

Good news is I'll post CHapter 4 of Too Many Cooks before I leave. I just finished editing it.

LotR Question

Hey... stupid person who hasn't read the books fully here and can ask easier than trying to hunt down an answer....

Does it say/describe anywhere about where Aragorn lives at the end of the third book? I was writing a fic and then started to go with a tradition castle, then suddenly realized that was just an idea I got in my head from fanfic. Maybe he lifed in a palace... or, I dunno, I really have no clue. So I thought I'd ask before I start with all these irreversable castle details :-) Thanks!!!
