Sooo I made a playlist for my current book writing schedule, lovin’ it. Seem to work/write better when I have music playing in the background. In fact, certain songs seem to become associated to certain projects.
Like this song. One of those songs I forgot that I loved so much and then I started listening to it again and I can’t stop. This is my hero’s song. He IS trouble. He’s trouble to himself and trouble to everyone else. He’s tortured and a mighty pain in the ass. I think I’m in love with him.
This is Trouble by Coldplay. Before Chris Martin discovered Gwenyth and had Apples and Moses. The video is super cool. Check it out.
YouTube is the best thing EVAH.

…is almost over and we’ve survived it. Yay! The early morning wake up is tough but we’re making it. Barely.
I love a good nap. Even if it’s only for fifteen minutes with Hannah Montana in the background. I take whatever I can get.
So thank goodness it’s Friday! Here are photos of Shaver Lake. We went there last week for a picnic. It was beautiful.
Happy Weekend!

Since Monday marks the beginning of school, this also marks a new schedule in my household. We are getting up early.
Real early.
Like around six. That’s in the a.m. I have to get my daughter to the bus stop by around seven so…yeah. That means early rising. And I’m not really an early riser. Well, I don’t do half bad but over the summer, I got real lazy. Like real real lazy. So it’s hard to get back into the swing of things.
I’m even toying with the idea of waking up even earlier to write. Yes! Like around five! Can I do it? If I go to bed early enough I can. I’m having to go to bed early anyway so why not a little earlier? I’ve decided I’m losing my night writing time so I gotta do a switch.
Can I do it? I don’t know. I just read somewhere (I believe it was Candace Havens who said it, I could be wrong but I’m giving her credit anyway) that if you write first thing after you wake up, your internal editor is shut off.
Well, I bet my internal editor will be flat-out asleep. But that will probably work in my favor.
Any early risers out there? Do you feel your best in the morning or are you a night owl? And tell me, is my plan crazy? From night owl to early bird - can it be done?

…and preparing for school. That’s what my weekend is going to consist of. I need to clean out my children’s clothes and reorganize that mess. I need to clean my house. I need to organize my house.
Yes indeed, I have a big job ahead of me.
But fear not! I’ll be back Monday. And my children will be in school! Hurray!

Swingtown. And at first, I thought it was a little boring. But since I had nothing else to watch, I figured I would soldier on and give it a chance.
I’m glad.
The uptight couple has become a little less uptight. The swinging couple gave up swinging for hmm, about one and a half episodes. The main couple well - I’ve decided the husband gets on my damn nerves and I hope she dumps him. Ha!
Ah yes Grant Show. Remember him from Melrose Place (he played Jake)? Now I was completely and totally addicted to Melrose. Those were good times! This isn’t quite on that level but I’m enjoying it. He’s my favorite character. That droopy mustache and the polyester clothing - kinda sexy huh? I can’t even believe I’m saying that.
Do you watch Swingtown? It’s pretty swingin’. Shockingly swinging (they go to sex clubs! they swap partners! they smoke pot! they had a threesome!). At least it’s holding my interest. And isn’t reality TV (though I watch that too).
