Friday thoughts

I might as well tell you all...I'm a little preoccupied. Here are some of the things that are happening:

1) 2 agents will be reading my novel. I've approached 2 so far and they both want to see it. So far, good odds. Bear in mind that I know one of them, and the other is a friend's agent. One of them is Meg Cabot's agent. I don't know what will happen. But I'm glad they're reading it. I got some suggestions from a girl in my former writing class; she's a book editor and her comments rocked. So after I put in those changes, I felt ready. But having it out there...it's nervewracking.

2) I've had trouble sleeping lately, partly because of the above, and partly because the skin at the base of my neck feels strange. Does this ever happen to anyone else?

3) We had lunch with P. P's stories, though funny, are probably bound to offend any number of people and so I can't repeat them on my blog. Oh well. He and D both had desserts while I looked on. I didn't feel dessert-y, and they both got the solid chocolate kind, which never really grabs me.

4) We're meeting Ashley tonight, having dinner with A&C tomorrow, and dinner with DG the day after that.

Ohmigosh, woo-hoo.

If I were in your shoes, I'd be turning cartwheels. Not that I can turn a cartwheel, but I bet you can.

how exciting about your novel - congratulations! A friend of mine has been shopping his to agents forever but they're hard to find in Florida. Have you had to search long to find them?

it was surprisingly easy so far...one of them was my writing teacher from a past class, and the other is a friend's agent. i guess new york is kind of a hub for this stuff.

Vegetable personalities

At the risk that you'll all think I'm nuts...but heck. I was getting cauliflower ready for dinner and it occurred to me that vegetables have different personalities. In my mind, anyway. Zucchini: the most agreeable of vegetables. It blends in with everyone, but it's never obsequious or false to itself. Sweet potatoes: the grandmother of vegetables. Very cozy and welcoming. Cauliflower: kind of bland, devoid of personality, but it could surprise you sometimes. Like a dull guy who occasionally tells a funny joke at the water cooler. Broccoli: feisty. Like a terrier. Spinach: kind of dour, but a loyal friend. Kale: has a fierce sense of individuality, but like spinach, is a loyal friend. Kale's affections last for life. Corn: this one is kind of a party animal. Corn is still drinking beer and making a mess when you'd like to be closing up. Tomatoes: a little sloppy. The kind of vegetable that needs to be reminded to tuck its shirt into its pants. Cabbage: not invited t

The return of Rudolph

Rudolph is our small furry friend, whom I've never seen. He visited the kitchen last night while D was up late. I know this because: 1) A large sonic device is plugged in right in front of the crack between the oven and the wall. The sonic devices in the living room have kept Rudolph away from there, his previous hideaway. Apparently the cracks between appliances and the wall are harder to reach. 2) The mop has been moved from the hall closet to the kitchen closet. This means D tried to capture Rudolph. 3) A turtle magnet I haven't seen in a while is now on the fridge. That means it fell behind the oven and D found it during his interactions with Rudolph. (I am praying hard that Rudolph is a boy, since we don't want to find many small Rudolphs.) What makes me feel better about this whole thing is that mice are apparently everywhere this winter; even my brother has had problems with them. And this little guy seems to stay behind the oven and only appears around 4 am (only D

happy birthday e!

[Posted by Bearette's husband until she has Internet access] e was born today! 8 pounds even, a cute and healthy baby boy. He likes to stick out his tongue just a little, and move his mouth around. The hospital gave him a little white hat with a purple pom pom. Bearette is tired but happy. Pictures soon.
