I honestly did not know if I’d make it this month, what with my huge vacation and so many other distractions–but I did it! I am in the home stretch!!! I have until June 30, 2006 to hit the 50,000 word mark, and then I will be DONE with draft #1 of CRUSH! YESSSSSSSS!!!!!!
Send me some “book-baby” vibes, please!!!! Now I’m in transitional labor–the hardest part! I can’t stop now!!

I lurve long weekends! I really, truly do! McGraw-Hill treated me to an extra two hours by letting us go at 2pm on Friday. THAT TOTALLY ROCKED! I’m trying to think if I did anything special Friday evening, and you know what, I did! First, I was able to grab a nap Friday afternoon which was much needed and very nice. Then at 5:30, I had a massage. I needed it. My body felt like it was tied in knots, my head was hurting, and my hands felt like I’d been clenching them in fists for hours at a time. Heather really did some magic, plus talking to her is always calming. I was nice and Zen when it was over.
Afterwards, I met up with some friends at Tropical Bistro. It’s kind of a resurrection of Kahiki, which was a really cool Hawaiian themed restaurant. The food was just passable, but the atmosphere was to die for. It was so cool! Well anyway, Tropical Bistro was nice. The food was okay (best egg rolls I’ve ever had, and I don’t even like egg rolls!), the atmosphere was nice but not nearly as much fun at Kahiki. I’d go back, though. Anyway, here are a few pictures:

I just got an email from an “eBay member” inquiring if an item of mine is still for sale, because if so, that person is online and could pay me immediately.
Very interesting, seeing as I’ve NEVER, EVER listed an item for sale on eBay.
>>DELETE<< No, even better. >> spoof@ebay.com
Man, I am TIRED.

Last week, Chris set the toaster oven on fire. He got it out with the extinguisher, and before my mom or I figured out anything was wrong. Once you use an extinguisher, it’s done, so he had a blast spraying the rest of it all over the backyard. I’m sure the neighbors loved that.
note: buy new fire extinguisher asap.
I got on a music downloading kick and bought tons of music from the late ’80s/early ’90s. Paula Abdul, Bobby Brown, Bon Jovi, and Keith Sweat. I was just in the mood.
My iPod adapter no longer works in my work computer. Thankfully, it’s an old school one, so I can still charge it. But I can’t get new music on to it. I’ll have to try it in my laptop when I get home. Either I need a new cord or a new iPod. Hopefully, it will be the adapter. That’s way cheaper than a new iPod! Not that I’d MIND a new iPod, of course, but you know….
Saturday, I had my counseling, then I stopped in at Goodale Park. Just seems to be a crime to not go when the weather is sunny. I didn’t stay long, though, it was chilly. I did get some nice pictures, will upload them soon. After being in 100+ F temperatures for a week, 64º F seems awfully cool. That night, Craig was over and we watched Wedding Crashers. There is one part where the Owen Wilson guy (I can’t remember his character’s name!) yells to Jeremy “You’re as asshole!” Well, Aidan heard it and repeated it loudly and clearly. Imagine how freakin’ hard it was to not LOL like crazy at that. The last thing I want to do is encourage the poor child! Still, it was hilarious! Yesterday, Libby and Bob came over and we watched some of season 3 Aqua Teen Hunger Force (We flash fryin’ this cow!) and they watched The Prophecy. Tonight is spaghetti and movie night at Bizzy. I’m kind of in a Newsies mood. It’s been a while since I’ve seen it.
I think I’m just finding that Slippery When Wet is a damned good album.
Three-day weekend coming up! Yippeeee! And… tomorrow a special edition of The Boondock Saints will be released. 2-discs! I am soooo picking it up!! I love that movie!!
That’s all for now. ‘Til next time!!! 🙂
