Today I am Shopping

I will finish my Christmas shopping today. That is my goal. That is my vow. Wish me luck!

This past weekend was CRAPPY for my sports teams. Ohio State loses the one game they NEEDED to win and the Steelers and Rams were basically embarrassing. So much for my magic shirt. It’s done for, apparently.

I got some good news on Saturday. My editor likes Bite Me! That’s one step in the right direction. Next step will be the contract. Hope to see it soon (then I can really squeal). But my editor likes it!!! She said my resolution in removing a character was clever. I LIKE being clever! I’ll keep you posted as soon as I hear more.

I won’t be on line all that much today. And I’ll be lucky if I get any writing done. Mondays are the pits for writing anyway. But I will get my shopping done. I will!

What will you do today?

Still hibernating until this ice melts.

Our power is back so all is well. I don't mind taking a little break--especially after BBQ, the goat, head-butted me. I'm limping again. That goat's days are numbered.

Maria - It's pretty icy here, too. I'm waiting for the sun to rise and hope it kicks in with the salt to melt the ice on the roads. It's 30 degrees - the warmest it will be ALL WEEK.

Sorry to hear BBQ struck again. Hope you're feeling better soon.

Yay! On Bite Me and on the shopping. LOL

I think I'm going to start wrapping today. I've been throwing gifts in a closet and I really need to see what I have so far. :)

Jennifer - I have a box in my closet where I throw gifts! Best hiding place ever - in plain sight! Haha!

Okay, time for me to hit the road now. Hopefully it's not to slippery out there!

Jeff - I DID get my shopping done. It's soooo nice!!

Michael - Been there, done that (except it was trumpet lessons instead of violin). I hope the rest of your week is a bit slower!
