The Behinder I Get…
Monday, July 11th, 2005

Still freakin’ behind on pretty much everything.

Ended up working from home on Friday. Got stuff done, but still have more to do.

Today was monthly all-day client meeting in Bethesda – a fun meeting, but still – all day. Got back to the office at 4:30 and worked until well after 7. Just getting home. Sigh.

Tomorrow morning: another client meeting. At least this one only goes until noon.

What I have done recently that is fun:
* Watched most of S1 SGA (only 2 eps to go) – and I’m loving the snarky goodness of McKay/Sheppard. OMG, those 2!!

* Gotten invited to sign books on alumni weekend at my alma mater. Thing is, it’s in San Antonio and alumni weekend is the weekend AFTER I planned to be in San Antonio. Now I need to call the bookstore and see if I can reschedule.

* Gotten nominated for Debut Author of the Year, Quill Awards. Evidently a new award from Publisher’s Weekly in conjunction with NBC. I’m not on the short list yet, but it could happen. ::g::

Coming up Saturday:
* Book signing at Mystery Loves Company in Baltimore (1 p.m.) If you’re around, please come by and support us!

What I did that wasn’t so fun:
* Got my car inspected, the driver’s side window fixed and an oil change. $583.00 – YIKES.

What I haven’t done:
* Caught up on LJ reading
* Sent my sister’s birthday card (her b’day is today) (I *did* send her the gift certificate she wanted).
* Sent a pressie to a friend who’s 40th is this weekend (it’s going out tomorrow)
* Caught up on my writing…book 2 is moving like molasses in Inuvik
* Replaced my passenger side mirror and purchased 2 new tires (eek! more $$)

All that said:
Hope everyone is doing well. Off to catch up on many things….

Hugs

To all my UK friends.

Glad to have heard from zoetrope. Heard my author friend Marianne Macdonald is okay. Was at home watching on telly.

My thoughts and prayers are with you all.

Words
Friday, July 1st, 2005

Just heard about Sandra Day O’Connor.

No words to describe.

But, speaking of words:

Meme!!!

Please leave a one-word comment that you think best describes me.

It can only be one word. No more.

Then, if you like, copy & paste this in your journal so that I may leave a word about you.

Happy Canada Day!!!
Friday, July 1st, 2005

Taking a moment out from my insane schedule to wish my Canadian and Canada-phile friends a Happy Canada Day!!

And an early Happy 4th of July for us Southrons.

May our countries soon be similar in outlook – good things flow downhill, right? ::g::
