Nancy, hope you had tons of fun on your trip! And that you got your Harry Potter before the ship sailed!

Robin, I’m a canceler too, though not usually of any big vacations. Sometimes though, when all my little weekend travels and dinners and other social engagements pile up, and I get completely stressed out, I suddenly realize I don’t HAVE to do everything I’ve planned, and my world gets so much more rational once I’ve canceled one or two things.

My nice thing this week was taking two vacations and a whole week off of dieting.

Enjoy the rest of your vacation!

Somehow the long comment I wrote earlier about all of your comments above didn’t post! Grrrr! And now it’s time to go!

Suffice to say I love all your personal kindnesses this week, and I can’t tell you how happy it always makes me to see all of your lists. Your choices help me make mine. So thank you for playing!

Talk to you from the road . . .

I raised my prices for my business. And I’m busier than ever so I have to consider raising them again, so I actually continue to have a (little bit of a) life. And it’s almost all repeat business and referrals from past business.

Despite how busy I am I took a half hour to weed the garden yesterday (or at least some of it!) I can’t believe my tomato plants are taller than I am! Now if we’d just get a bunch of sunny days so that the tomatoes start to ripen. This has been a wet summer here. And I’m not complaining, I hate dragging the hose out, and I’ve only had to do that a bit this year. Gardening is one of those things that’s not only exercise, but is also a true recharging of my “batteries” since it puts everything else into perspective.

I found a local dairy that doesn’t give their cows growth hormone, nor do they “ultra pasteurize” which kills any benefit as well as any bacteria, so I’m buying better quality skim milk these days. And I’ve been buying some of my veggies and greens (stuff I can’t fit in my small veggie patch) from the local Farmer’s Market, all of whose vendors use traditional farming methods and no chemicals.

I also treated myself to a pint of chocolate chip mint ice cream, made by local folks, hand dipped, and with HUGE real chocolate chips in it. Yum!

Best of luck with the tours, parties, and fun times. Stay optimistic. Look forward to the event, rather than dreading them, and that will start things off on the right foot. Make them all that YOU want them to be!

This week went by rather quickly. Hmmm. I released two EPKs for two different books/authors and I redesigned a website for a third author. I worked. I rehearsed. I walked. I read. I read as I walked.

I finished the first draft of my WIP.

I started HP7.

And I got my work inbox down to 2 emails!

My new, but hopefully on-going nice thing is to eat healthier after the news of a ridiculously high cholesterol count. I did really well this week. I also bought myself a really cool pair of half chaps at a half price tack sale.

Instead of waiting for both my kids to finish HP7, I went out and bought my own copy and read it. And I skipped some not-so-important meetings to finish it.

Well, I read my HP this week and that was wonderful! =)

I also started going to the gym 6 times a week and being more careful with what I eat (although I did eat some brownies and a sundae)… and I lost 10.6 lbs in 2 weeks!!!!

I had a wonderful dream.
