Countdown to KAHN!!!!! …errr, I mean Con….

So I feel terrible saying this after just getting back from a cruise, but goddamn do I need this Con. I just have to get the hell away from my work. It's like a soul-sucking blackhole of progress. Thank god everything for the Con is paid for up front, cuz we ain't gots no cash. Hopefully the Con will be a success and we will actually come home with some money. If not, no biggie. As long as we have fun, which I am sure we will.

I have been busting so much butt on getting things ready for the convention that I have been kinda slacking in the writing department. I feel bad because I am feeling like I won't hit my February deadline…but oh well. I am also not going to rush it just for the sake of being done. It would be nice to have two books to sell at the next round of Cons, though.

Other than that, life has been pretty uneventful. Kayla turns 16 tomorrow ::shudder::. Even though I will be officially entering my late thirties this year I have a hard time feeling old. Having a sixteen year old, however, makes it a whole lot easier to swallow that I am close to geriatric. At least I have a close to perfect daughter. I really couldn't ask for more. We offered a few ideas for her to have a big Sweet Sixteen blowout, but she really just wanted a laid back "no big deal" kinda get together. She will have some girlfriends over tonight to watch some of the 15 new scary movies we bought her (I Heart GoHastings.com) and then tomorrow people will come over for homemade deep dish pizza (I will be in the kitchen all day) and for some of Twisty's delicious treats. Most importantly? I will not be working. Whoo hoo!!!

Oh, it just occurred to me that I had a dream that I was in China last night with my good Chicago friends Dean & Phil (and my dad showed up at some point??) Instead of site seeing, everyone just wanted to go to a Chinese Mall, and we ate at a Chinese buffet. How depressing…oh and then there was a shooting, but McLovin came along and killed the bad guys dead. What the hell is wrong with my brain? I mean really??

Oh well…guess I need to get my ass outta bed and get ready for another day of sweaty drudgery…
