Five Things on a Friday

1.  Milo is not a fan of the car. He had an appointment at the groomer yesterday and he sang me a sad song while I waited for the stoplight to change on the way over.

2.  But all was well when we got back to our driveway again with his new haircut. Note the wagging tail blur. :-)


 

3. I'm off to see my daughter in Massachusetts tomorrow!  I'm so excited to hug her and let her show me her new world.

4.  I had a great meeting with my critique partners last night.  I love those ladies so much.  They're such interesting people and they do such beautiful work.

5.  It's been a few months since Rules was fully in my thoughts, and my first school visit presentations are less than a week away at a middle school where Rules was their all-school read this summer. So I need to let go of the new books and characters I've been working on over the summer and let Rules back in my mind again.

This was the song I used to play through my headphones when I was writing Jason's scenes.  Listening to it yesterday, I imagined Catherine and Jason and David and Kristi had been on vacation this summer or away at music and art camp and have come home, dropping their suitcases in my living room and a new toy in the fish tank.
