cornerofmadnessis being celebrated by FINALLY finishing my damn steampunk CHristms short story and that's the first thing I've finished in MONTHS. Gah. I'm happy to have it done. I need to very swiftly edit it and get it to any willing beta readers.
I don't know how some people do it. One of the authors I know finished a novel two days ago and wants it in print by end of June/July. I just don't know how you can edit something that fast. I know I'm doing things wrong but still... Hope it works for her.
Mom and I went out shopping today. That was nice. I said before leaving Ohio a) I need to toss out some of my old old shirts b) Everything I own is blue. No more blue shirts. GUess who tried on 5 new blue shirts and bought 2? Also bought a blue swim skirt and two blue tankini tops. Yeah.... Got a blue skort and some blue jeans too.
I came home and found a gift from my BFF in college, earrings made from Irish pennies from 1967. (I also found a quarter from then that I planned to make into jewelry myself) I love them.
Mom had bought me a tres leche cake but neither she nor dad could wait until tomorrow. We had cake tonight.
On the downside today, I'm up for money for the SLC trip but today I get an email saying all the receipets and expense report has to be in by Monday. Thanks for no notice and oh they didn't tell me WHERE to send it. Luckily I'll be back there. geez.
The earrings
The cake
