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…

One of the most exciting things that has happened since I joined the Heart of Carolina Romance Writers group is becoming part of a smaller critique group of only three people. Me, Karen Anders, and Jennifer Harrington. I don’t know how I got so lucky!! Jennifer, like me, is unpublished, but hopefully not for long. Karen, on the other hand, is not only a multi-published author for Harlequin, she has a book that was only just released from Harlequin’s Blaze line. Walking into a book store and picking up a book written by a friend has to be one of…

According to cnn, a new poll indicates that three out of four Americans are scared about the way things are going in the country. Oh really? I certainly hope they didn’t spend millions of dollars trying to figure that one out. I could have told them that for free. Of course we’re scared! Most of the older generation and the baby boomers believed they had their careers on lock-down and their retirements all bundled up… then poof! In an instant all of that was gone for so many people. And it’s particularly scary I would imagine for the over 50…

After watching the 81st Academy Awards last night, there are now so many movies I want to see! Usually by Oscar time, I’ve seen a great many of the movies up for awards, but not this year for some reason. Maybe it’s a money thing, or maybe it’s just about being so busy… All I know is that now I have a list of at least twelve movies I want to rent as soon as they come to DVD. Hugh Jackman was the night’s host, and he did the best job of anyone since Billy Crystal back in the day….

I got up this morning to let my dog out and it’s raining. For some reason, I am happy to see the rain pouring down today. According to my little weather channel desktop, it’s 90% chance it’ll rain for the rest of the day. Sure, it’ll be a messy day, but there can be something so cleansing about a day of rain also. Of course, come 3:30 when I’m trying to get to a voice lesson, I’ll probably wish it wasn’t raining, but for now, it’s comforting somehow. I think I’ll probably open a window and work somewhere I can…
