Weekend Update
moar funny pictures
So, just where did this week go? I'm still trying to figure that out. Once again the dayjob has taken the majority of my time (and gray cells). I did get a clean bill of health from the dentist, though. This weekend has been rest and recoup (and pay the bills), but tomorrow I hope to get some writing done (and some grocery shopping). I also have some posts planned for here, so come on back. Enjoy the rest of the weekend.

Weekend Update
No memes this week, but I did want to get you all caught up. I probably won't post much this weekend, I've got a Romance Writer Group meeting tomorrow, and after Judi McCoy is having a book signing for her 1st dog walkers mysterie, so I'll probably go and hang out with her. I'm also writing again, and need to get my synopsis done, so I'll be working on that (and the usual clean the house, do the laundry, eat meals, feed the cat, take out the contacts, sleep, etc. *g*). So here are the highlights:
I drove up to Williamsburg to hang out with Mechele Armstrong and Larissa, went to my favorite used bookstore and took Larissa out to lunch to celebrate her great news. Her latest book made the USA Today Bestseller List *pause while the crowd goes wild*. Isn't that awesome? Completely well deserved, the book's awesome.
Driving up to W'burg, I happened to be going through the bridge-tunnel just as a destroyer was going over the tunnel. Spooky. It sounds like a dying whale or something, or a motorcycle on steroids.
I also went to training for two days (which is why I could go to W'burg on Thursday- it was my day off for working Sunday), which was very interesting (or would have been if I actually thought we'd be getting help to do all of this extra work- but we won't go there-it's bad for my blood pressure). the second day we were leaving the training and were stopped at a red light and looking to the side of the road I saw this mammoth rodent, i swear this puppy was groud hog big without the cute. I thought at first it was a rat (Ick), but now think it might have been a Nutria (A coworker had one in her back yard), and I just have to say WTH?!!! Nutrias in VA Beach?!!!! That's just wrong.
Larissa told me about this writing software just for novelists, WriteWay Pro, and I'm thinking of buying it. She showed it to me on her computer, and it would save me from papering the walls with postits (or at least more than are on them now), and from losing all of my notes.
I've got a mountain of books I want to have read by RT, so of course I've found a whole bunch of nonfiction books to check out and read (still working on Animal, Vegetable, Miracle- it's slow going when you only read a book at lunch).
I also replaced my cell phone, not that I used the first one a great deal, it's more in case the car breaks down. I'm getting ready for conference season.
Have a great weekend. I've also made a Facebook page, feel free to friend me. :)
