Ooh, I can do that. I have lemon juice, at least. Which sort of counts.
Gimme some milk.

Or steam them. Lotta people like roasting, but I like the steam. Plain, with salt.

“Not dead yet!”
People! You need to help me decide!
The new site for RWA National was announced tonight: The Swan and Dolphin at Walt Disney Resorts.
::cue hysterical laughter::
Right, I move across the country and the conference finally winds up in Florida. In July.
Anyhow... I can go to National, as planned, and since it's now in Florida going early to Miami and leaving the kids with my mother. However, I'm not presenting a workshop, I'm not presenting at the awards, the book's not going to be out yet and I was really only going to get face time and network and talk up the new book. The other glitch in this is that if I take the kids, it's problematic, since they start camp on Monday, August 2nd, meaning I'd have to leave Nationals early in order to drive back to Miami and fly back to Seattle.
Or...
The Society for Children's Book Writers and Illustrators is also having their conference at roughly the same time.
In LA. The kids can stay at home, I don't have to be away for as long, and it's a much shorter trip within the same time zone, even.
Plus, it's children's publishing professionals, so if I'm going to network and talk the book up anyway, maybe it makes more sense to do it there? (Also, meet some local booksellers, like from Vroman's, etc?)
Bonus, F2F time with LAistas.
LA makes more sense, doesn't it?

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Man, this week's Criminal Minds was rough.
Rough how? Pig rough?

How did I not realize that that was a picture of brenda's sister? I am dim. And possibly blinded by the Glory of Sloth. It's a very cute picture.

Or I can just sauté it. That could be fun.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Rough how? Pig rough?
More emotionally rough.

I feel like a bad daughter. I only send my mother a card.

We really just do cards in my family, too.
