MONDAY MUSINGS


So obviously, I’ve not quite kept up with my Monday musings as I planned. I’ll try to do better.  But honestly, the Romantic Times Convention (www.rtconvention.com<http://www.rtconvention.com)/>) really took me out of play for a while. I spent ten days in the Big Easy having a GREAT TIME. The highlights: dancing at Oz with @DamonSuede and friends. And meeting (again) RoseMarie who showed me her tattoo based on my books. It was a butterfly, and I was so touched by her words that I cried. (The tat you can’t really see is the dragon beneath it. OMG, it’s gorgeous)

So here’s the good, the bad, and the ugly about conferences.


The good:


a) A zillion friends-new and old.


b) giving squidge to a zillion friends-new and old


c) dancing and talking all night long to a zillion friends-new and old.


d) getting to wear hot clothes that I can’t wear anywhere else. I now have six corsets in my closet and each one is begging to be worn!


Answer: All of the above, of course. But mostly all the awesome things I get to do with my zillion new and old friends! I mean, let’s face it. I’m an extrovert in an introvert’s job. I spend my days typing on my laptop and talking to imaginary people. They’re fun and all, but it’s not the same thing. I need to meet peeps, to drink coffee with them and gab about men (fictional and otherwise). I need you all to come find me an conferences and tell me about your lives and your loves. Because I can’t imagine anything better.


The bad:


a) my feet. Or rather the torture of being in nice shoes all day and walking everywhere. I wore my fitbit and did five miles easily every day.


b) the events. Don’t get me wrong. I loved everyone of them. But showing up at the right time and place? Wait…I’m supposed to be where? When?


c) My roommate Kelly Oakes. Let’s just say laughing until the wee hours of the morning is surprisingly taxing. Can you say: Coffee. Now! And pulling glass out of her foot at 1 am was a new experience. Bourbon Street can be hard on feet!


d) Jade’s Jewel’s get together at 8 am. Can you say STUPID? OMG, were my eyes even open?


Answer: A. You have no idea how swollen my poor toes were. Every night I ached from the knee down. All the rest- the events, Kelly, even the 8 am get together were FUN, FUN, FUN! And btw, here’s a couple squidges picture from the Rainbow Pride event where everyone dressed up #squidge!

The ugly:


I can’t even think of stuff to say that’s ugly. Not even in jest. Because honestly, who wants to think about shit like that? RT was amazing fun. If there was ugly, it was in the mound of laundry and the exhaustion afterwards. Or perhaps the amount of coffee I consumed. Talk about scary…
