Not really, I guess. :-D

1 - Gardening. The wind finally stopped and I tried to get some of my tattered plants into the ground this morning. It's so relaxing spending time in the garden. Lots of things in bloom right now. It smells wonderful out there.

2 - Steadily checking things off The List. Not that the list doesn't seem to grow as quickly as I cross items off. Still.

3 - Seth Meyers

4 - Taking the time to really listen to music. So often it's just background for whatever I'm doing. It's nice to just close my eyes and listen.

5 - Cool cotton sheets

Nearly as addictive. ;-)

I thought the same ;-), and I forgot to check, now I did:

They're SO delicious.

My goodness, I forgot all about Allmen after I got sick! We haven't watched it since, so I'm glad I checked into this thread. :-)

I watched Queens of Mystery this weekend and I LOVED it.

From the adorable opening credits to the quirky, cozy plots. I haven't enjoyed anything this wholeheartedly in ages.

That makes it doubly interesting.

I love this poem so, so much. It's been a favorite since college.

I'm not listening to this yet--it doesn't come out until June--but I wanted to order Stevie Nicks's huge retrospective compilation album and it's only available on VINYL.

What the...?

Starting to feel like my energy and focus is coming back. :-) I went walking with my sister, had my eyelashes redone, promoted the new book a little and answered a SLEW of emails...

Oh wow! Congratulations! I hope it's doing well for you!

I definitely think she's, er, not smart and deserves to be punished. I just more and more am angry and impatient at the idea of prisons. They're so useless!

But then I'm torn too because I also don't believe in the death penalty...and yet, I do think there are some people who are simply too dangerous, too inhuman to keep around.

This is a really excellent mystery, that I'd recommend highly for anyone who can stand serial killer of kids.
There's not much gore and a HEA."

I really cannot take harm to children. I'm not even sure why as I don't have any! But that's definitely one of my Do Not Cross lines.

So far the main idea seems to be I write something new. :-D And THAT I could have thought of myself.

1 - Afternoons warm enough to swim

2 - Easter chocolates

3 - A patio full of plants and flowers

4 - Heroin chicken wings and white roses (the SO's little Congratulations! when I finished Slay Ride)

5 - Starting up walking again after two weeks of being too sick! it feels so good to move.

Good Lord. How much is the relationship with your brother worth to you? Because putting this in the hands of an objective third party and leaving them to deal with it is in your best interests.

I don't understand people who can't just...be fair. Why is that so hard?

It's great that you've made your art such a big part of your life!
