My SIL texted this to me this morning, and it's so cute that I have to share.

She was giving the Pumpkin a bath this morning, and the Pumpkin was running around naked. SIL said, "Your butt is adorable!"

To which the Pumpkin said, "No, my butt is a Genius!"

I love my niece.

That's the sound of me falling over. It's been a long weekend, and it's going to be a LONG week. So this is my update - don't expect to see a lot of me in the next week.

WORK
We're on OT starting Tuesday. Here's my schedule for the week:

Monday: 8:30 am to 5:30 pm
Tuesday: 8:30 am to 7:00 pm
Wednesday: 8:30 am to 8:30 pm
Thursday: 8:30 am to 7:00 pm
Friday: 8:30 am to 8:30 pm

And next Monday is 8:30 am to 8:30 pm again. *sigh*

WRITING
Dreams continues apace. I have a good plot basis for Snow that I'm going to try and work on this week. And thanks to my darling younger brother, I have a plotbunny that is basically Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade meets Stargate SG-1, with a bit of Lord Peter Whimsy thrown in. I will write it, with him, eventually. We're thinking three books.

WEIGHT
I have a call in to a nutritionist. As I've mentioned before, the Crohns' makes losing weight difficult. I'm going to do it, though. I can't continue on like this. The goal this week, in addition to eating breakfast every morning at home, is to take lunch every day.

WEEKEND
The wedding rocked. It was fun to see everyone - my cousin Mel got married in a lovely faerytale wedding Saturday night, and we partied the way only my family can. This morning, we went over to my grandfather's house and celebrated the Pumpkin's 2nd birthday. She was in her glory and got lots of stuff and was adorable, as always. It was good to see the family; we don't get down to CT often enough.

Now I need to get busy cooking. There's a pizza I made for lunch tomorrow, but I need some more stuff to take to work to chew on. I want to make a bread tonight. I've got enough zucchini, after all! And yes, [livejournal.com profile] domynoe, I'm working on yours too! Hopefully, I'll have two minutes to breathe this week to send your box out.

Wish me luck, folks, I'm going to need it!
It is 9:30 pm, and I really do need to start packing for the con tomorrow. Yes, I said START.

It's been one of those weeks. I'm so glad to have 3 days off this weekend.

I need to pack my suitcase full of books. I need to find my business cards (they're on my mess of a table here somewhere). I need drag the suitcase up from the basement.

I'm seriously thinking I need ice cream.

Maybe the beer wasn't a good idea - now I'm yawning. And I have a ton to do.

Tomorrow I'm heading up to Farmington ME for the NEGA con - if you're in the area, come see me! I'm giving away a signed copy of Horseman to one lucky person.

Then Sunday I'm up to Old Town, to see the youngest sibs and my adorable niece the Pumpkin (she told everyone that at the last bridal shower that she was a Pumpkin, because that's what we all call her) and give her early birthday presents. I found an adorable shirt that says "Little on size, Big on attitude" which describes her PERFECTLY.

And I looked at my writing schedule today. Oh my.

Did I mention I sent a query letter the other day? I did. My first.

I got an acceptance. :) More later, once I've signed the contract, but just as a tease -

If you go back and look for "Snow" on my LJ, you won't find it. It's gone.

Yep, I'm a tease.

Off to pack. I guess.

*Post Manny. I'm a geek.
