I started my “diet” again, although I’m not going to really call it that. I have goals of how much I want to lose before our wedding, and even though we’ve already been engaged for eight months, I have only lost a total of 5 pounds. To be honest, though, I haven’t really been trying. But now that the wedding is getting closer, I know that if I want to reach my goals in time, I have to start working harder and get serious about them. I set a sort of mini-goal at 20 pounds by RWA Nationals, even though…

A lot of times, I get my best writing done late at night. Everyone always says that as a writer, you have to find your “process.” Basically, I think that means you have to find out just how to operate at your most productive. Since I’ve had some luck in the past writing in the quiet of the early morning hours, I thought I would give it a shot this week and see how productive I can be. Last night, I stayed up and wrote about 1500 words of my novel. Tonight, I started off at 5672 words and have…

A while back, G and I picked out the room and the resort for our wedding/honeymoon. Our number one choice was the Sandals Royal Grande St. Lucian and our hope for a room was the swim-up honeymoon concierge suite. With airfaire, the price kept coming up to about $7000 for the entire round trip, 7 day vacation. At Sandals, everything is included, so that includes food, entertainment, room, drinks, everything (except shopping). I have routinely been checking back for the prices on the website, and they have steadily been going down. I was getting more and more excited about the…

Have you ever had the experience of wanting something so badly you were almost afraid to try to get it? It doesn’t make sense, really. Logically, if you want something, you do everything in your power to get it. But our actions aren’t always logical. Or at least mine aren’t. I have wanted to be a writer all my life. I used to dream of being a poet, to be honest. Writing novels, especially romances, was more of a secret dream. The only time I ever wrote a long story and submitted it to a contest, I got creamed by…

We had a great weekend. Well, it was mostly great :). On Saturday, we went to Todd and Amie’s wedding at Barclay Villa, this local place that looks like a mini-castle. It was gorgeous. I’ll share some pics. G got stinking drunk and I had to take care of him, but I think of it as me paying him back for taking care of me when I got trashed at the DMB concert last summer. Besides, it was nice to know that someone so perfect can sometimes get out of control as well. Then, last night we had more excitement…

Most of the time I think I don’t get enough sleep. We go to bed around 1:00 am or later most nights and then get up at 8 or 8:30. Sure that’s 7 or 7 1/2 hours of sleep, but it never feels like enough. Then, last night I was upset and decided to just go to bed early, so I went in at around 10 pm. I specifically remember waking up at 4:30 and thinking that it must be time to get up, but when I looked at the clock, I was like, Fuck that. So I went back…
