The little things

Posted on July 10, 2009 by Jeannie Lin

Okay, I just had to get my publishing pep-talk post off the leading line. It’s more depressing than I like to be.

Little things that cheered me up this week:

1. Hubby spent a couple hours writing a Java app that calculates at the press of a button how many days we’ve been married. 404 days today. I love geeks.

2. Triple layered ice-cream bombe/torte dessert that hubby made. I love geeks who can cook.

3. I own a pair of candy-red killer heels. I bought them for the conference to show unity with the Ruby Slippered Sisterhood. *secret handshake ensues* I love looking at them since they’re so not me. I love being “not” me once in a while.

I can’t complain. Life is good.

Thank goodness for fake Friday

I need tomorrow off. I’m toying with the idea of Happy Hour today. An official one where I actually leave my home office and go to a bar and have some nachos.

I mistakenly said yesterday morning, “Things seem to be slowing down in preparation for the long weekend.” I knew right then I was tempting fate and that karma would smack me down. Consider me humbled.

Dreaming about revising all day tomorrow and shipping out a hard copy of Chapters 1-15 to little sis. Yes, she’ll read it through every flawed draft. Because she loves me.
