Sometimes, you've just got to laugh.
Good things, bad things. And some more good things.
My friend got her publication date, and the pretty cover art for her book. Last Friday a bunch of us met up at the pub and shared nachos, chocolate cake, and drinkstuffs in celebration. (This has been a long, incredible process; this is her first book; and we’re all fairly jazzed. [And the cover art is very nice: she got the Michael Whelan of the romance cover art world. That cover art will catch a lot of peoples’ eyes, and hopefully will result in more sales.]) So go check it out, stop by her author blog, and say “hi” from Laughing Muse!
I got the billing software configured, populated, and integrated with the hosting site. I’ve run a few test transactions, and gotten them through. There’s one long slog finished! (And another beginning; but that’s how it goes, yes?) I’ve got the plans for revamping the hosting and support site content, and will be able to start migrating my clients over next week - right on schedule.
The first check for my document production is due in about two weeks, and I’ve gotten more documents to proof and edit.
Since I’ve gotten all these things accomplished, I splurged today. I hit the makeup store, picked up some pretties, did some damage to the bank account, and came home and painted my nails. (I’ll be stuck in an all-day meeting on Friday, so part of the splurge was also to give myself toys to play with. I do so love being a telecommuter. Sure, the meeting starts at 7:30 ack emma; but I can roll out of bed at 7:15, feed the cats, brush my teeth, stay in my PJs and drink my morning coffee. And paint my nails again. I’m thinking a metallic coral pink. Or lavendar-blue.)
As I was driving home in the rain, it began to snow. While it was raining. That wacky Pacific Northwest weather! Last week was all daffodils and cherry blossoms; this week, the flora is highly confused.
(And naturally, as I’m recognized by one of my daily reads as one of their favorite blogs to visit, I proceed to put forth a fairly pedestrian entry. *meep* Check for scintillating content mid-April. I may be able to manage something by then.)

Wacky weather indeed. It’s not July yet, so we can have snowstorms any day. Then again, we did have a snowstorm in July the first year I moved here…
