Shutter Bug

Lani, writing from the swank digs in Seattle...

I slept for 10 hours last night. Ah. Nirvana.

Last night we went to Elliott Bay Books in Seattle, and a couple of girls from my Chick Lit RWA chapter came by (Hi, Christina! Hi, Shannon!) and we had a great time. I wanted to kick myself for not bringing my camera - I'll be sure not to forget it again!

Anyway, I did have my camera at other times, and since - despite the forementioned 10 hours - my brain is still al little fuzzy at the edges, I thought I'd share with you the highlights of my trip. So, here we go...

Here are myself and Chris Baty (mad genius behind Nanowrimo) on the set of AM Northwest in Portland. My first ever television appearance! Very fun, and I managed not to say anything crude or stupid. Yay me! Upon returning to the super-swank digs, Chris and I immediately discovered a gigantic squash in the hotel lobby. No reason was given for the vegetation, but... ... we couldn't turn up the opportunity to get our pictures taken with it. That afternoon, I went to have lunch with my family, and my 11-year-old cousin Amanda followed me around with the camera like some kind of child-labor paparazzi. This picture cracked me up - it's the closest I'll ever come to looking like a magazine cover model! Kim, an adorable chica from the Jennifer Crusie fan list, found me at Powell's in Portland and brought me a gift bag! Isn't she lovely? She gave me chocolate, so we're BFF! (For those of you who missed public school in the eighties... that means Best Friends Forever!)

Well, that about covers it. I must get another cup of coffee (so hard to find here in Seattle!) and maybe even possibly get some work done. Thanks so much! Hope I'll see some of you at the events!
