Whew! is it hot!  Summer is upon us and with it hurricane season.  Amazing how fast time flies.  Graduations are in full swing and school's out for the summer.

Spent the day doing computer housekeeping.  Should be writing but hey... The old files need to go, you know?  I cleaned and backed up all files onto disc from the desktop and next project will be the laptop.  You know its been years--in fact, I have never cleaned the old files off that poor desktop. 

One reason I got motivated was my husband utilizes that system so I thought it would be nice if I freed up some space for him.  You would not believe the stuff I had on there!  Whoa!

Felt wonderful to get rid of all those things I just thought about getting rid off. LOL  Yesterday, joined the neighbors in a yardsale. Made $45.00 I didn't have when I awoke yesterday morning and got rid of a lot of stuff that had been hanging out in the garage for months.  After the sale we took all to the Goodwill drop nearby and voila! no more gazing upon that stuff.  Then I really got motivated and cleaned out the linen closet!  Can you stand it.  I have a whole pile of sheet sets that I never use ready for the next garage sale.  And whatever is left will go to my vet's office, who never have enough of those type of creature comforts. This really feels good *grin* Could you tell?

I have been procrastinating on this stuff for so long... What made me suddenly move on the dormant thoughts?  Don't know.  Just suddenly motivated. A good thing, I'm sure. Next weekend is the closet. Can't wait.  The garage will be on the To Do list when the heatwave breaks which should be around October, LOL

Anyway, overall a very productive weekend.  Still working on plotting RWT book II. But life happens, you know?

A Hard Day's Work

Wow! Today has been a flurry of activity for me. Busy...busy...busy:)

As most of you know, autumn is my favorite time of year. I love the colors, which are bred within me even though I've been transplanted in the South for twenty-five years. I am a Northern girl at heart. Autumn colors and snowy Christmas' Most of all though, I absolutely Love Halloween:)

September is when I begin my home decor transformation and Labor Day has always represented the Fall for me, soooo...I've gone and transformed the house into Halloween central. Well...not completely but I've got the traditional autumn colors, and a lot of the traditional Halloween decorations situated around the house. Inside only for now. Geez, I've even beat Target to the punch. That is amazing.

Here's the tough part. You know how when you decorate, you also have to clean? Yeah, you guessed it. I busied my self today with fall cleaning chores such as shampooing the carpet, cleaning windows, dusting, mopping floors, and moving furniture around. Can I tell you, I'm beat! But the house looks so beautiful and like a completely different space. Vibrant and warm. Good karma is radiating all around.

Now I'll continue to add little touches and, of course, work into decorating the outdoors as well. I'll share another little tid bit of information. I take my vacation from the day job every year on Halloween week. That's love, LOL


I did work on some writing stuff today but I didn't set the world on fire. Too busy with all the other stuff. I am working on a new story that I anticipate being released next Halloween, at least I hope. I have to sell it first*grin* Actually, truth be told, I have to finish it before I do anything else, LOL

Anyway, that's what I've been up to this holiday weekend. What have you all been up to?

Oh and one more thing. Traci Hall who was the author spotlight will pick the winner of her book on Tuesday as she went to a conference this weekend given by Heather Graham in New Orleans--lucky girl *sigh* Can't wait to see who nabs the book.

Talk to you later.
