Hello from hurricane central
and I'm not just talking about the inside of my house, post-deadline, this time!! (Oh, did I mention - more than 100 times - that the Book is Done?) I finally finished my second teen chick lit book, SUPER 16, and shipped it off!! Lovely, darling editor wrote back that she LOVES it, so am happy dancing. [Read more for laughter, tears, and free prizes!]
Anyway, I finally surface from my bleary-eyed fog, just to see a Category 4 hurricane is BEARING DOWN ON JACKSONVILLE!!!!! Aaaarghhh!!
Darling husband (and I feel I need a name, since Lani & Michelle have husbandly-type euphemisms; must go with Navy Guy - yes, he does look HOT in his dress whites, no, you can't borrow him!
I'm, like, so NOT.
Enter shouting match:
Me: We're going to lose our HOUSE! You're the GUY! You're supposed to BOARD things and NAIL things and DO things!
Him: Yes, you're right, our freaking house is going to land on the freaking moon because I didn't board the windows yet, 3 days before the hurricane arrives here.
Both of us: Look at each other and crack up completely
So, as you may have guessed, storm turned, house not in danger of landing in Oz, and I'm free to do any of the million things I need to do post-deadline. Instead, I started a game of Bed Or Dinner in the forums. Please play!!
FREE STUFF: To reward all the lovely readers who come to visit us in the forums, I'm giving away some free stuff!
oops. must go do actual work!
hugs,
Alesia
