Standing Next To You Fic || Explicit [NC-17] || 15.6 k words Anonymous Pregnancy: Draco Summary:

Draco is pregnant! Which wouldn't be a problem, if Harry and Draco hadn't been planning to announce the news to the family the same day that Hermione and Ron have shared their own pregnancy. Obviously, the only option is to hold onto their secret and lie their way out of awkward situations until everyone is suspicious of them in order to not steal attention from their best mates!

Dear Izzy Fic || General Audiences [G] || 10.7 k words Anonymous Pregnancy: Draco Summary:

Week 5 Digest

Good evening/afternoon/morning to all of our subscribers, where we are now wrapping up this fest and let me say that we should give a hearty round of applause to all of our amazing Mystery Authors who have contributed to the fest. There are 39 lovely entries submitted and I have enjoyed every single one of them (But Mod Draig doesn’t play favourites, only that they are now not mine to hoard but for everyone to enjoy to the fullest.)

As of this post, all entries have been published. Yes, Gentle Readers, the Queue is now empty.

As of yet, no names will be published yet but it is coming once the voting has wrapped up and a winner chosen. (I am already working on the coding for that post and will only have to have it ready to go once the final vote is in for the overall winner.

Authors will be announced once the voting closes for the final. Once the Author Reveals go up, the Authors are free from their Non-Disclosure notice and are free to post anywhere. That will be Thursday 7pm GMT Thursday, 15 July 2021.

(I have to finish that day since it’s the spouse’s B’day and we are having 3 days of celebrations for him. It’s a rather memorable trip around the sun celebration and thus too busy to do anything with the fest.)

I hope everyone who has read and reblogged (and liked!) will give a hearty Huzzah for everyone who submitted a story. They all have my upmost respect for having the courage to submit something they worked so hard on for all of us to appreciate.

Week 5 RECAP || Day 36

Wow this was SUCH A LONG WEEK! It’s funny- I was so excited at the outset to NOT *have* to run... but by Wednesday I was itching to go out for even half an hour. It’s really a great stress management technique, and i take it for granted when I’m training.

I want to be up front and acknowledge that I didn’t take measurements this week. If this is my rest time, I don’t want to spend it worrying how every little thing I put in my body is affecting my weight. I don’t want to feel guilty for not eating “good enough” when I promised myself a break. So, I’ll resume measuring and such in the following week!

I worked out

SUNDAY | MONDAY | TUESDAY | WEDNESDAY | THURSDAY | FRIDAY | SATURDAY

Accomplishment of the week

I got pretty caught up at work? I feel like I didn’t make much progress health-wise.

Things I need to start

Upping my water levels

Core workouts

Things I need to stop

Workout Log

BodyPUMP with Hubs! Back at it again and it was good :) I’m trying to worry less about his fretting and let him problem-solve on his own... not the easiest, but I’m getting there!

Challenged myself today and went UP on the back track to 25 lbs! Ahhh!

Week 4/5 Recap

Wow, last two weeks have been incredibly busy.

The school year is in full swing now. My classes have taken their first test, and most of my 8th graders tanked it. Then again, most of them are acting like fools during class and not listen, so that might play a part.

I’ve started compiling a list of who needs extra help during our study hall period, though just this week, I forgot to sign passes for those kids. Rather than planning during my planning period, I had to run around doing that. And last week, I sent kids to study hall when I wasn’t supposed to. It sort of worked out, but my CLT lead and I have had some reworking to do. The idea is that we invite kids to her study hall for math intervention, but it’s a new thing for both of us so we’re working out the kinks.

I’ve come to learn, also, that electronic reminders don’t work for me at all. If I don’t write things down, I forget them. That’s write it, not type it. This is part (most) of the reason that I forgot to sign kids passes--the email that was reminding me to do so got lost in the shuffle. 

This week that we just finished up was my birthday. I guess my main gift was that my crazy class was slightly less crazy, but I did have a student draw me a picture and a different set of students make a little box that represented a class inside joke. It was nice. 

At the end of this week, the kids took a quiz, and my honors classes really nailed it. Most of my math 8′s still bombed it, even though all of the questions were pulled DIRECTLY from in class activities and the HW, and I told them such. Looking at the gradebook right now is really depressing because many of them have Fs. And it’s interim time, so I have to contact parents of kids with Ds or Fs...which is almost half, if not more, of my total math 8 students.

Here are some of the responses to one of the quiz questions. Feel free to facepalm.

Pre game: Week 5 recap part 2

KC @ IND

Wasn’t this supposed another installment in the “Suck for Luck” series? Guess not, both teams got back to playing their signature brand of football. The Colts got back to running their offense (I guess that requires a QB that actually knows it, who knew) to the delight of Pierre Garcon and Reggie Wayne, against a banged up Chiefs’ secondary. Garcon specifically looks like he has a good rapport with Curtis Painter, who had a brilliant first half. He was 12 of 17 for 237 yards with two TDs and a quarterback rating of 152.2 as the Colts built a 24-7 lead.  

In the second half Matt Cassel and the chiefs bounced back with a pair of touchdowns to both his starting wideouts and it looked like 2010 for a while. Cassel turned in a stellar outing with 4 touchdowns and no picks, while Dwayne Bowe continues to play like an all-pro. In addition, free agent pickup Steve Breaston has had to two good games in a row now and although the colts secondary is reason to take this performance with a grain of salt, things could be looking up for the chiefs as they get back first round pick Jonathan Baldwin and with Jackie Battle picking up some of the slack in the running game.

CIN @ JAC

Blaine Gabbert vs Andy Dalton? Are these two teams building a team for the future or are these two head coaches fighting to keep their jobs? Well this game was bad news for Jack Del-rio, whose team has dropped 8 of 9 dating back to last season.  The jags simply just don’t have a great deal of talent at the skill positions on both sides of the ball, so while they got decent up front they couldn’t make enough plays to win the game. Blaine Gabbert looked better throwing the ball this week as the jags went to the spread but the rookie made his mistakes, specifically losing a snap at the end of the game that would be returned by Cincinnati’s defense.  

Andy Dalton on the other hand looks like he’s found a couple targets for the future in AJ Green and Jermaine Gresham. This young offense looks like it could really start to take off towards the end of the season. In the meantime I’m sure Marvin Lewis will be happy to pick up wins on the strength of his defense.

ARZ @ MIN

In battle of Ex eagle starters this game was really about Adrian Peterson, and the Arizona’s inability to stop him. The Vikings got ahead early in the first quarter with 3 touchdowns by AP largely in part because of Kevin Kolb’s in effectiveness on offense. Kolb seemed to lock onto a covered Fitzgerald a couple times early which lead to sacks and missed opportunities and the cardinals just weren’t able to play effectively from behind (of course it doesn’t help when the Vikings actually give Peterson the ball in the second half).  All in all the Vikings did what they’ve done in the first half the last couple of games, and actually played well in the second for a change. Interesting side note, highly paid receiver Bernard Berrian was a healthy inactive for the game after getting into a twitter spat with a senator over his play earlier in the week.

SEA @ NYG

The Seattle Seahawks have quietly been playing good football after looking terrible in their first two games, this week they finally get the win after giving the Falcons a run for their money last week. The Giants? I don’t know what to think about this Giants team, I want to say that they have a good defense but some weeks they just don’t play up to par. Eli Manning? Don’t know what to think about him either. At some point you just have to look in the mirror and either accept who you are or make a drastic change, I get the feeling that either Tom Coughlin or Manning might end up being that change. Manning passed for over 400 yards and threw for three touchdowns but his three picks were the reason they lost, especially the one at the end of the game that Seattle took to the house. On a brighter note they really look to have found a player in Victor Cruz.

The Seahawks have problems of their own but definitely did some good things of their own, Marshawn Lynch was finally able to get it going this week, Doug Baldwin had a good game with Sidney Rice drawing attention from the safeties, and Charlie Whitehurst filled in admirably for starter Tavaris Jackson.
