Announcing the 3:59 cover reveal and contest tomorrow, and my swag design has mocked up these for part of the giveaway. Even though it's my third round of book swag, this makes me totally GIDDY!!!

Also, if anyone needs swag designed, let me know. She's ridiculously reasonable. I keep trying to get her to charge more, but she won't!

Oh, GJB! First of all, I'm pretty sure my hardcover books have more than four typos each, and besides, the gem of all this is that both John and Jill whipped through your book and loved it!!!!

Miss Kellion agreed to do an interview on Project Mayhem, if you'd like to read over your morning coffee. Before you do, see if you guess one of her favorite childhood books. (It's a test to see how well you know her.)

Morning all.

Snow has mucked up some of my plans today, but I'm hoping that they get the roads clear so I can do my evening plans.

Feeling ho-hum.

I'm officially seceding from the week.

My dryer croaked last night, of course in the middle of a huge pile of wet laundry. ('cause who uses their dryer when they DON'T have a huge pile of wet laundry?) I have no idea how we're going to pay for a new one. I get my bonus here at work in a month (if we get one, it hasn't been confirmed yet), and my tax return is farther away than that.

Good morning purgatory. Class seems like much less of a disaster after a night of sleep.

Blond, the shirts are *fabulous*.

GJB, 4 typos sounds pretty minimal to me. Impressive, actually.

Kiahanna, glad things are improving...hope it continues.

Morning, purgs! Another day of feeling oddly chipper. I think this new workout schedule (and the weird protein shake I follow it with) is working for me. I did not sleep well at al last night, but I'm all bouncy and irritating this morning. :)

(Also fitting into clothes much better, thankyouverrahmuch.)


{{{Tas}}}

GJB, 4 typos seems pretty acceptable to me: I generally find at least that many in books I'm reading. And yay for both of them flying through it!

Also, hello! ~*tacklehug*~

Lily, that's wonderful!

Billie, woohoo! And every time I see your covers I'm blown away; they're so beautiful.

Blond, those are FABULOUS.


In other news, we may be getting 3 feet of snow on Friday.

Yeah, I actually know someone who works in a post office and there's been a bunch of closings as well as threats of limited service, but I'm still sort of surprised. Guess I'm just so used to it. But yep, they're officially stopping Sat delivery.

That sucks. I know there've been massive layoffs around here. We used to get mail around 1pm, but now we don't get it till 4-5 pm. We figure they're making one mail carrier do two routes, at least.

Mr. Lily gets checks for referee jobs on Saturdays sometimes. Thank God we don't depend solely on them anymore, but for freelancers who need those checks in their account to keep the lights on, this well and truly sucks.

And it is an awesome interview!

Not much doing here. Repped as I went. Is it Friday yet?
