really, I’m working over here…
Is it bad that the Staples delivery man asked me if I ever got out of what he called gym clothes? Okay, well the daily outfit is usually yoga pants and a t-shirt, so technically he’s right, but I told him that he’s lucky he comes in the afternoon, or else he’d be asking me if I ever got out of pajamas.
And then I realized that the Staples man might think I was coming on to him.
Oh well, at least I got my paper. It’s pastel - light blues and grays. It’s supposed to be easier on the eyes but I got it because it looked pretty and I’ve been doing a ton of writing by hand these days. And I got sticky notes to match, because really, if your sticky notes don’t coordinate with your paper, you’re in trouble.
I really need to get out more. Or at least stop procrastinating on the edits Larissa thinks I’m doing while she’s got company for a few days. In reality, I have done everything but the edits. I have worked on scenes for our second book and even started scenes for our third book, plus worked on the 4th Blaze proposal. Ordered books from Amazon. Downloaded music. Ordered pillows for the couch in my office.
Well, you get the idea. But now I’ve got this big pile of BOOK to go through and Larissa’s company leaves tomorrow (hopefully LATE tomorrow) and I’ve got to get moving.
Speaking of procrastination, is anyone else loving Rock Star Supernova? I’m loving Tommy Lee and feel the need to dig out all the old Motley Crue tapes. Now there’s a project that needs immediate attention. Oh, and The Unit’s on tonight too…
None of you are going to turn me into Larissa, are you?

It’ll be our little secret

I notice you didn’t even mention surfing the blogosphere. ;) And mum’s the word!
By the way, I don’t know WHERE you got the idea that Saint might be a bad influence on me.

I know Larissa would never think to check here. I’m sure your secret is safe.

Ya gotta watch that orderin’ pillows stuff, Steph…could lead to other, equally dangerous activities…
July 8th, 2006 at 8:36 am
I knew I could count on you, Cece!
Tori - surfing blogs? Me? And are you telling me that you’re the bad influence on Saint…because that’s the new rumor I’m going to spread!:lol:
Jean - I was thinking the exact same thing, especially if I distract her by continually peppering her with emails she doesn’t have time to answer…:eek:
Raine - I know - because right after I did that I went to drugstore.com and bought nail polish. STOP ME!!!:LOL:
July 8th, 2006 at 9:35 am
Pillows…nail polish…what’s next? Cooking?
July 8th, 2006 at 2:40 pm
Well… today’s horoscope DID tell me it was time to ditch the Goody Two Shoes image and let my inner wild child run rampant….
July 8th, 2006 at 8:10 pm
hm…ordering pillows…put a pillow fight in your next book and tell Larissa it was all in the name of research..NOT procrastination!!
July 8th, 2006 at 9:50 pm
LOL… maybe the Staples guy will put your orders on priority.
Procrastinating is great. I’m doing it now!

You can get nail polish on line?????? Oh, I so didn’t need to know that….
I read somewhere that an author (JoAnn Ross?) uses different color paper for different drafts. She may print out her rough draft on pink, and her second draft on blue, that way she can see her progress.

I just use Stickies on my computer. I love that program! I always lose the actual paper notes.
I don’t want to think about how many years it’s been since I had time to polish my nails.
July 10th, 2006 at 9:17 pm
Cece - let’s not forget burning the toast. Twice.
Tori - I guess it’s a good thing I don’t need Saint for a while.:lol:
OMG, April - ROFLMAO!! That would be a definite perk…
Mary - yes! It’s wonderful for someone like me who hates shopping - drugstore and beauty.com. And gloss.com too! And that’s a good idea on the print-outs. I’m already seeing that the blue is easier on my eyes when I’m writing. Which I should be doing now…
Charlene - oh, Lynn Daniels told me about that program and I forgot to reload it when I had to change computers. it is really cool. Oh - and I only polish the toes because it’s easy enough to walk around with those wet. Forget the hands…

Yes, thanks for the loan of Saint! He’s a lot of fun.
