home from WRW
I've fallen behind, as usual. I'm back from last weekend's WRW Retreat in Harpers Ferry, WV. Had a great time--met tons of people & signed a bunch of books at Turn the Page before the Retreat, then spent the rest of the weekend chatting with friends. And, hey, I finally found someone who enjoys THE WATERBOY & DEEP BLUE SEA as much as I do. (Don't laugh! They're good movies, darn it!) Came home exhaused, but (ironically) refreshed.Then it was time to jump back into work--I've been putting together a new Desire proposal, had a CARA meeting, have some contest entries to read & return within the next couple weeks, & I also need to get a jump on my Desire continuity book.
And my mother is retiring this week! Her last day of work is June 3rd, then she'll be done, forever & always. Not sure what she plans to do afterwards...except maybe sleep for a solid week. But knowing my mom, she'll keep herself busy. She always has her fingers in a dozen different pies. And she's already agreed to be my beck & call girl...oops, I mean assistant. Helping me with research, filing, envelope stuffing, etc. My office is a disaster area; it needs an ex-librarian's organized touch.
