8 Things I did Yesterday:


1. Spent HOURS working on the Trimming the Fat manuscript. It started innocently enough: I wanted to fix up the sample chapters. Then I just went whole hog with it.

2. Helped Jennifer with her homework. (After missing a lot of school, she came home with a lot of homework!)

3. Returned books to library.

4. FINALLY saw the movie, The Dark Knight. It was pretty good. Heath Ledger was awesome as the Joker, though I didn't get that whole lip-licking thing he kept doing (it was kind of gross). I was disappointed by the ending, though. I have to wonder: Who makes the better Joker, Jack Nicholson or Heath Ledger?

5. Saw a GRUESOME movie clip on a website. I'd never seen the movie and was curious about it. WHY couldn't they put a warning on there saying the guy was going to get cheese-sliced and it was going to show his intestines and everything as he falls to pieces on the floor?? EWW!!!

6. Tried to call my sister Elizabeth but of course nobody answered the phone.

7. Instructed Jennifer's school and her teacher to text me IMMEDIATELY if she has an adverse reaction to her new antibiotics or if there's any emergency. (I was REALLY worried about her. She had an allergic reaction to the antibiotics the doctor prescribed for her pneumonia and we just started her on a new kind yesterday. So far, all is going well.)

8. Did the whole "should I get a job and put the baby in child care or continue being a stay-at-home mom?" debate again. I'm too paranoid with child care, but I feel bad that I'm not working and contributing to society as I know I should. Well, there's always volunteer work! Part of the reason why I'm such a sucker for charitable causes. At least I am giving back something!


8 Things I'm Looking Forward:


1. MY BOOK GETTING PUBLISHED! MY BOOK GETTING PUBLISHED!! (In August! Woo-hoo!)

2. Wrapping up this newest book.

3. Working with someone on her book project.

4. Finding an agent/publisher for Trimming the Fat or Shadow of Samhain. Whichever comes first!!! (Hm, Trimming the Fat is starting to sound like a diet book instead of a book about revisions. Maybe I should change the title...again.)

5. Getting a professional author site set up.

6. Being able to buy some Starbucks again.

7. Teaching the children advanced sign language.

8. Losing weight!
