  1. Anyone recognize the Biblical inspiration for my new #shortstory Salt Thief? bit.ly/LJ335z Hint: I had to remove the husband's name.
  2. #shortstory on my blog, Salt Thief. What kind of a monster would you become to save the ones you love? bit.ly/LJ335z #writing
  3. Not quite #writing yet, but at least I'm up and in front of the keyboard. Hoping this is me getting back into my routine.
  4. Why did I pack the teaspoons in a box labeled bathroom? Unpacking is less than fun.
  5. Awake and writing a Biblically inspired short story for this week's blog. So nice to get back to normal.
  6. @PAShortt Thanks! As of last night they *still* didn't have the closing cost numbers, but after a month in a hotel, I'm not sure I care. :P
  7. Up early. Planning to spend more than a quarter of a million dollars today buying my first home. Surprisingly not nervous about that.
  8. Just a note to say I'm still around, just living someplace where the internet is painfully slow. Also, crazy busy with Big Stressful Stuff.
  9. Sat down for just a second after dinner, woke up 5 hours later. Guess I'm a little stressed and not sleeping right, huh?
  10. Got back into the pool today after 3 years. Embarrassed by how much fitness I've lost and still scared of more ear surgeries.
  11. Making grown-up decisions = not nearly as much fun as you would think. I won't be attending #RWA12. OTOH, I will have a roof over my head.
  12. Drat. #ShortStory meant for tomorrow's blog has grown to 1500 words. Too long, and too lovely to cut. Sigh.
  13. @jaytechdad Wait, most people don't eat raw snow peas while watching bull riding, surfing geek sites & thinking about guns? #Eclectic&Proud
  14. @jaytechdad If it weren't for True Blood & Bull Riding I'd abandon cable all together.
  15. Honestly, setting up cable services is an exercise in frustration. Wish they would create a geek package: BBCA, SyFy, etc. & High speed net
  16. Saw the #Avengers. Loki strikes me as hotter than Thor, approaching Tony Stark levels even. Then again I ♥ chaos, so that make sense. :P
  17. @PAShortt It's magical, when all the world's asleep leaving me alone with my characters. Wish I could feel this awake at 7 or 9, but eh.
  18. And yes, I'm actually happy to wake up at 3:30, rested & ready to write. It's a sign I'm back to 'normal'. #NotRegularNormal #MyNormal.
  19. Doing some 'pre-writing' where I read over old stuff, remembering what I wanted to talk about, and how the characters sound in my head.
  20. Having moved into a hotel & started a new day job, I turn my attention to my blog. Oh Wow. I haven't blogged in a while. Sorry. #BadBlogger
