In case y'all missed the news on FB, SPORE has left the building. I don't expect to hear much - if anything at all - back from the agent until after Christmas, but you just never know. I learned a lot while writing it, and hopefully I can put that into practice on the next novel. Bill and our nephew were teasing me today about writing zombie food erotica from the POV of the zombie eroticasizer, er, I LOVE BRAINZ!!! eater/adorer but I really don't think that's gonna happen. ;)
I have a mountain of sewing to do. A mountain. And zippo desire to do it. I might try to stretch a quilt tomorrow, assuming I have enough batting, which is unlikely. I did the Northern Iowa Holiday Shop Hop yesterday (Saturday) and managed all 9 shops on Saturday. Since there's more than 100 miles East-to-West between the two most far-flung shops (and about 60 miles North/South ziggy-zagging around), most folks do the hop in 2 or 3 days, splitting the east half or third from the west, or north from south. Not me. All in one day. I tried to make it into a circle, but it ended up more like a weird backwards G loopty loop since I wanted to start at the shop farthest from home and end with the one closest to home.
Some days it feels like I live in the car, and Saturday was definitely one of them. But at least I got to listen to my music, cranked up, and can't you just see me belting out Billie Holiday while barreling down an Iowa dirt road? You'd better, because I did. ;) A lot. And Lightnin' Hopkins. Most of my music is Blues. :)
I was so, so tired tho - between getting up Wed morning and finishing Spore around 1pm Fri afternoon I'd had maybe 5 hours sleep, and got very little Fri night because of fretting over 'I hope I didn't screw up the book!!' - yet it was still nice to get out and do something for me. I spent a bit too much money, but oh well. It was still fun.
I'm officially down 12.2 lbs at WW this week - yay - but it's likely to go up because I was too tired to pack suitable snacks for Saturday's shop hop drive and ate too much fast food, then today was a pizza birthday party, and, um, I'm back on it FULL SWING tomorrow. I've logged everything, and haven't used up my plus points, but I still don't like feeling greasy. My usual meeting day is Thursday - but there will be no meeting due to the holiday - but they have another local meeting Saturday which I WILL go to. Gotta stay on the bandwagon, right? Must track all my points, eat right, drink about a gallon of water a day (water's been my secret weapon) and just stay on plan.
I've passed on some of the shirts I've shrunk out of to my sister. She said she liked them and I hope so - they were all blueish and she's more into reds. One is my most favorite shirt that I bought over this past summer and loved wearing, but it just hangs on me now so it has to go. I've decided to pass on all of my 'outgrown' clothes once I've outgrown them so I don't have a ready wardrobe to be a safety net, if that makes sense.
That's about it for me, I guess. I hope you all have a great week! {{huggs}}
