Oh Glorious Weekend!

The weekend is finally here! I'd jump for joy if I wasn't still relaxing in bed. Granted I have my laptop out and we've already had breakfast but my whole family is relaxing and being a bit lazy. It's the weekend so we can do that! My husband is snoozing, my daughter is watching Disney Junior, and I'm online. The pets are the active ones today. Lucy and Bear (our two dogs) are playing with a squeaky toy in the living room. Our kitten Chibi is running around. He's a typical kitten really. The silly little guy just jumped into the bathtub and is chasing his tail in there! It sounds like a little earthquake is coming from the bathtub! The other two kitties are being lazy. Athena is asleep on my jewelry box and Socks is in his basket on top of the bookcase in the living room.

So what's on tap for today? Aside from the usual housework that needs to be done we plan on staying home, relaxing, and enjoying being with each other. Family time is very important. Sometimes in the hustle and bustle of the week we don't get to spend as much time just being together as we like. Fortunately we can make up for that on the weekends!

The weekends are a great time to catch up on all those TV shows we've recorded on the DVR during the week. I admit I'm notorious for recording shows that end up not getting watched. We have three episodes of Dallas to catch up on today as well. That's one show that I definitely go back and watch! We love Dallas! I'm sure some of you are glued to your screens for the March Madness basketball tournament going on right now. As for me, I';m just ready to see something besides cartoons. My daughter loves to monopolize the TV on Saturday mornings. I certainly did as a kid too, so I'm all right with that.

I hope you all have a wonderfully relaxing weekend!

Progress Update

Today was a tougher day for me. I've been a migraine sufferer for the majority of my life and woke up with a real doozy of one today. I took my Imitrex and waited for it to get to work on my head. I still ended up calling in to work because the pain was just so awful. I really detest calling in, but sometimes you have to do what you have to do. Health takes precedence. It's now mid-afternoon and after one Imitrex, two Aleve, and the morning snuggling with my two dogs and one of my cats I'm feeling much better. I have a couple of hours before the family gets home so I am going to take this time and work on my latest novel idea.

Even when I am at work I can find a little space to jot down my thoughts. When I'm on lunch break I typically sit in a corner of the break room by myself. The photo above is my little corner of the office break room where I write in my green notebook. See, if something's important enough then you can make time for it anywhere! There are some friends who always invite me to sit with them but lately I've been declining because I really want to get my ideas outlined for my next NaNo project. Camp NaNoWriMo is just around the corner beginning in April and I want to have my outline ready to write come the first day of April! I've already signed up for Camp NaNo and am excited to get it started!

Mountain Springs House did receive my contract back earlier this week in the mail. Hooray! I'm excited for the next step in the publishing process. Several other authors from MSH will be participating in Camp NaNo as well and I'm excited to see their success at camp!

It's time for me to log off of the blog for a bit and go grab that green notebook. There are ideas in my head and need to get out and on to paper.
