All that twiddling while I wait.
Sigh.

A journey through my life. Currently defined by motherhood after pregnancy after issues with fertility. Also subject to my overwhelming conviction that people are stupid. But not you.
About Me
- Mrs. Higrens
- Central Virginia, United States
- I'm a native Virginian. I'm proud to say that. Suffice it to say that members of my family have been in Virginia for a really long time. I'm married (10+ years) to a wonderful husband, known on this site as DH. Little One is a much longed for addition who joined us in July 2010. Higrens & Co. also includes 2 cats, and a dog. You can also find me on Twitter as Kiribitz. And hey, if you know me IRL, the stuff on here is not for sharing, thanks!

What is Copperosity?
Copperosity is a word my paternal grandmother used. Maybe she made it up, I don't know the provenance, I do know I've never heard anyone else use it.
Substitute it for curiosity, needs, desires, wants, etc.
I'd love for you to have fun with it. Let me know if/when you use it. And if it was successful (or not).
Congrats of a first great beta!
ReplyDeleteHang in there. The waiting will only get worse. :-))
I know perfectly well how waiting can make one insane. And I have no good advice for you in this respect.
What I have done lately is commenting. On new blogs. Two entire days passed like any other loooong days this way. But I get to know new stories and the people in them and I only think of the p* thing every other minute. Unlike every minute until now. Obvious improvement.
So there.
Congrats once again.

Naturally, I meant congrats ON a first great beta.
