I just returned from NYC, where I spoke at the NJ RWA convention. (Waving to Donna and Elsie, who I saw on Saturday!) I had a very good time and the NJ chapter members were simply wonderful.
After the convention, I spent Sunday with my oldest daughter, who'd come with me. We walked around 5th Ave area on Sunday afternoon and then she asked to go to the American Girl Place. For those who haven't heard of it, it's a doll store. A freaking huge and cool doll store. We walked in and said...

I needed a break from the revisions on this book I am trying to finish, so I left my computer in another room and watched While You Were Sleeping with my family. I first saw this wonderful movie on an airplane and embarrassed myself by crying all the way through it. I've seen it maybe ten or more times, and I cry every single time. (So does Mr. R, by the way.) Lucy is such a fantastic character and she's so good with Peter
's family. She's lonely and needs them - and they need her. Jack is p

First, I CAN SEE YOU hits shelves today! In it, heroine Eve Wilson has a particular expertise that the hero needs to catch a killer.

But I'm not upset about getting a year older, really. I'm not keen about the wrinkles, but overall, I'm good with my face. I've got good skin and makeup helps. When the time comes, I wouldn't be opposed to a little nip/tuck, but that's in the future somewhere.

I have been writing for weeks, my … er, self in my chair, which means I haven't gotten out much. My office is my own little cave and I find I've surrounded myself with stuff that brings back memories or just stuff I like to look at. It's my own version of cavepaintings.
Now, I have to tell you that my office has changed a bit in the last month. Mr. R has been home this summer and has undertaken my office as a project. Initially, he said some rather disparaging things about my filing system -

For those of you not living in the US, today is TAX DAY.
Now, some of us here (and I am not included in this number), have already filed their taxes and gotten their refunds. I am not of this number because A) I never get a refund and B) I just don't get it done super early. I'm an April 14 kind of girl, always filing one day early in the event of catastrophe. Filing taxes tops the list of "STUFF I DON'T WANNA DO."
The list, abridged:
- File my taxes. 'Nuff said.
- Clean out my closet. I have
