here's the scoop on my weekend
So like I said, I was away this past weekend. I went to Grove City, which--for those of you who may not be familiar (& I'm guessing that's most of you LOL)--is basically our nearest hub of outlet shopping. I have to admit, I'm not much of a shopper, & designer brands don't get me all worked up the way I know they do some people. Plus, it was cold walking around outside to get to all those stores, darn it.I was hoping to find a hat & some gloves to match my new winter coat, but didn't have much luck. The coat is a really pretty shade of lilac, but I suspect I'm going to end up going with some neutral color like cream or brown for accessories, because it's a color I don't think I'm ever going to actually match.
But anyway, the outlet shopping portion of the weekdn was really just a sideline to my main reason for being there, which was getting together with a writer friend. We live about three hours from each other, so every once in a while we make plans to get together at a semi-midway point. (Yeah, it's about twice as far for me, but A.) there aren't many spots to meet more in my direction, & B.) the outlets are an added plus for going the extra distance. *g*)
So I went up there Friday to do the whole shopping thing--fun, fun. Then Saturday, I met my friend at one of the local restaurants, & we stayed there literally from the time they opened to the time they closed. :-D We ate, we drank (a lot), we talked (even more), we plotted, we laughed, we kvetched. It was great. She even brought me an early birthday present, which is totally sweet. I came home with bunches of new ideas & raring to go. I only hope she did the same.
Of course, it's back to life as usual now. Sigh. And I'm knee-deep in the revisions for my June Desire, FORTUNE'S FORBIDDEN WOMAN. May I whine for just a moment & say that I really, really hate them? Revisions are my very least favorite part of the entire writing process. Ick. But since they are part of the job, I'll bite my tongue, suck it up, & just do them. I don't have to like it, though. :-P
