Lots to do.

You, too, I imagine.

But, no complaining for me.

I'm off to a writers conference this week--so it's okay if the early part of the week is a bit crazy. I want to make sure everything else is settled before I give everyone a hug and a kiss goodbye and head out the door to go soak up a lot of knowledge and encouragement from those farther along the writing road than I am.

Truth be told, the conference is right here in town at the stellar Broadmoor hotel, so I'll be coming back home to sleep in my own bed. But. for the most part, I'll be an extremely part-time mom this week.

But, before that, I'll be doing laundry and running errands and getting life in order so I can play hooky!! All the extra effort will be worth it.

Now, I'll just keep repeating that to myself as I head out the door to go to the library and to the dry cleaners and to one of those "big box" stores and, oh, maybe I'll have time to find a blouse I'm looking for to complete an outfit I want to wear...
