Monday, I mostly finished reading Rumors of Spring (very pleasant summer read) and watched David play Stronghold, which I'd brought for him. Tuesday, he gave me Civ III, so I played that while he played his game. Wednesday morning, ditto -- by Wednesday afternoon I needed a break, so actually revised YA novel so far and wrote a few thousand words more. I have mostly stayed in my nightgown for the last three days. Now this, this has been a vacation. :-)
This morning, I'm dealing with a whole bunch of piled up e-mail, then I hope to actually do some more writing, off and on, along with some cooking. Sharmi is coming by for Scrabble around 4, and dinner around 5-ish. We're eating early because she needs to be up early tomorrow. Curry! Yum. Oh, and Kat's coming by to sketch me, hopefully for one of her Coffee People series, which is way cool. Tomorrow, dinner with David and Debbie Notkin, fun. Saturday, helping Tim and Heather move into their new place. Sunday, back to Chicago.
And that's really all the news around here. Hope y'all are having a good week.
In case anyone’s curious, the “very skilled bakery on the peninsula” is the Prolific Oven, generally considered the best bakery/dessert place in Palo Alto and perhaps on the whole peninsula. (For non-locals, “the peninsula” means, more or less, everything between San Francisco and San Jose.) I personally prefer Just Desserts (what can I say, I’m a rebel), but they closed their Palo Alto store a few years back, and San Francisco is too far to go for cake, and ProlO is certainly good.
Oo-ee, Hi to Kat!! I was planning on getting the coffee people series, but now I’m going to wait until it’s complete…
