It's an upgrade thing

From Alesia, in need of upgrades

My birthday is quickly approaching, and I tend to approach this time of year the way other people look at New Year's Day. A time for resolutions and life changes. A time for deep thinking. Or, when I'm on deadline, a time for thoughts of utterly shallow upgrades.

For example, the weight thing. And the way two years of sitting on my butt being a writer have made me look like this. But I'd much prefer to upgrade to this.

Also, I may have previously mentioned that I'm a rabid car chick. And yet I'm stuck with an old and practical car that looks a little like this. But I'd much prefer to upgrade to this.

Then there was the whole travel thing. In the old days, I used to travel like this. But now I'm heading to NY in December to visit my editors and agent and I'd much prefer to upgrade to this.

Finally, my office on deadline pretty much looks like (and I can't even blame it on my sweet Daisy pug) this. But I'd much rather it looked something like this.

It's all about the upgrade. Definitely soon, AFTER the deadline . . .

Hugs and happy weekend,

Alesia

[NOTE: This was written a couple of weeks ago as the deadline stockpile post and (with a couple of edits) posted today, so I'd like to add my (and those of all the Literary Chicks) sincere best wishes to all in the path of Hurricane Rita. Please stay safe.]
