Top 5 Reasons I've Procrastinated on Writing This Week. (With Pictures.)

5. There was a buzzing outside my window in the lilac bush and I spent 10 minutes trying to figure out if it was a baby hummingbird or a freakishly large moth.

I'm still not absolutely sure.

4. I started picking out patterns in the textured ceiling of our living room.

If you connect the dots right, you can see Jimmy Fallon's face.

3. There was a tickle on the back of my neck and I thought for a second it was a spider. It wasn't. I don't think. *shudder*

I had to jump up and do the heebie-jeebie dance to make sure, though.

2. I remembered there were leftover frosted lemon sugar cookie bars in my kitchen. 'Nuf said.

Recipe Here (I just added lots of lemon zest to the cookies and left the icing white.)

1. But mostly, I was a victim of this phenomenon:

Anyone else have this problem? Happy Thursday and here's hoping for a very productive day. [  

Five Things Friday

A quick list of random things, in no particular order:

Fact #1: Fabric glue needs time to cure.

I know this now from experience: don't attempt to glue Cub Scout patches on your son's shirt a half-hour before his meeting and expect them not to slide off like greased banana peels just in time for uniform inspections.

Fact #2: The traditional publishing world experienced another earthquake today.
Harlequin just got bought by Harper Collins. Probably doesn't mean anything to you if you don't write romance, or say, don't have a book in progress that you'd planned on finishing this month and submitting to them. But if you do? Whoa.

Fact #3: Jaxon and Cora just met... and it's not love at first sight.

Book #3 is in progress. Book #2 will probably languish in a drawer until I can motivate myself to either fix it or rewrite it, but in the meantime, I'm planning to finish Cora and Jaxon's story this month, during my MMRWA chapter's MarNoWriMo. What I do with this book remains to be seen. (See Fact #2.)

Fact #4: Today is a potato-bacon-cheesy-corn chowder day. 

It's a cold and drizzly 52-degree fall spring day and I've been thinking about dinner since lunchtime. Send me an email if you'd like the recipe. 

Fact #5: Save your lingerie in case you get famous someday.

Someone paid $14,000 for the bra Marilyn Monroe wore in the movie Some Like it Hot. You just never know.

That's all. Have a great weekend! [
