The WIP meme that's going around like the flu...

From [info]rexluscus: Post a single sentence from each WIP you have (or as many as you want to pick). No context, no explanations. No more than one sentence!

Other WIP's

* I countered her magic with a quick spray to the cellar door and stairs, then I began to chant the Mantra of Intruder Banishment with every ounce of hatred deep in the Siamese 1/16th of my kinked black tail.
Familiarity

* And now that the old lady in the lakeside mansion had made good her promise, and had his name printed in the Reno paper, -- ‘so if you should go missing, several million people will know exactly where to come looking for you,’ she’d said, with the ghost of a bombshell smirk hidden in her vermilion lipstick, -- Jack had no good reasons left to hesitate.
El Dorado Road

* I am not old, strange, or ugly enough – even with the scars, -- to be feared a hag, and driven out of Mauran’s house to starve in the forest; nor was I comely enough -- even without the scars, -- to seem a threat to the honest wives of the village, or a temptation to their husbands and sons, though I lived, as Mauran had, without a man of my own to keep me.
Kin to Wolves and Witches

* "I thought my lodgers would be home tonight when I decided to bake, but Tiffany's working second shift at the Slipper Room, and Jake just went vegan, and won't eat eggs or butter, and well, it's just not proper gingerbread without a little bit of animal exploitation, is it?"
The House with the Kind Hearted Woman

* “Summer Covington, if you don’t pull your head back inside this truck, you’re going to catch a bug in your teeth!”
Last Night of Summer

* He was sitting too still, watching me with the kind of intensity you call ‘predatory’ even when it’s not on the face of a werewolf who’s already admitted to killing two people.
Mortal Ground



And I'm too damned tired now to go through any of the novel projects looking for quotes.
It's bedtime.
*Falls over*

There are ways not to start the day...

And having one's husband put his nose into one's eye first thing upon waking is DEFINITELY high on that list!

My right eye's been hurting all day from that particular close encounter, and my vision's blurry on that side now. It felt like his bloody elbow when it happened. I can't think of what to do to get it to stop hurting -- any ideas? Other than 'take the aspirin, you silly bint' kind of ideas, that is? I'm going to try writing by hand in my notebook today, just to try and spare my vision the strain of reading type on screen. Hopefully, it'll work.

Did I mention that I still have kind of a squick/phobia about eyes getting poked out? Putting myself through RK did kind of grind that panic reflex down a bit, but actually getting poked in the eye does rather set it off running again...
*Shivers*

Let's see... what's today's silver lining?

Oh! Sirocco's begging to go outside into the snow, so she can chase snowflakes.
The workmen are installing the ceiling fans and lights in the two new rooms. We'll have working switches by tonight.
And Dominus has decided he wants me to go to Azkatraz. So as long as I can still find roommates, I'll actually be able to meet up with HP folkses! YEY!
