Did a little bit of work on Chapter nineteen & did two crits.

I critiqued two chapters for Anne today. I'll probably upload them tomorrow so that they're the start of April's quotas. I did some work on chapter nineteen & hope to have theat uploaded along with my re-revised chapter 15 tomorrow. The weather here is supposed to be crappy until the weekend so I'm sure that will give me some more time to wotk on my revisions. Next week is Easter so I'll be busy making goodies to go in the baskets and getting the baskets together for PJ & my nephews.
And then two weeks after that, we'll be flying to Vegas & drving to California for Jennifer's wedding. I can't wait. As much as I love my story, it will be nice to take a break from it and relax with my hubby & my little guy. We haven't had a real vacation since PJ's first Christmas so it will be fun to go to Southern CA and see all our family out there.

Chapter 15 is revised & the sex scenes are steamier :-)

Thank you, thank you Kisha for your suggestions on Chapter 15. The ideas you gave me for the wedding night & morning scenes were excellent & really helped to up the emotion level.
I was hoping I could get more done this weekend but it was too nice out on Sunday so we took PJ to the park. He found a little girlfriend there :-). He started out by playing hide & go seek with the girl and her mom. When they were hiding under a slide, Phillip & I watched as the two were talking about something. The next thing I know, she gave him a kiss. I asked him what he told her to get a kiss out of her and all Pj would reply is, "Yeah." so I'm guessing she asked him a question, he said yeah and got a kiss for his answer. What a little charmer :-)! The one thing I've noticed about him is that he plays better with little girls than he does with boys (with the exception of his cousins & the little boy next door to us. He plays really nice with them) . He hit a little boy who ticked him off at his playgroup last week & he's never hit a girl. He did apologize to the boy he hit & gave him a hug but I don't think those two will ever be friends. He can be a little stinker sometimes but he can also be sweetheart and I wish the grandmother of the boy who he hit who gave me a dirty look and whisked him away before PJ could finish his hug could see the sweet side of him.
