Recently I went to the RWA conference in Washington, DC.  There, I met up with 2,000 of my peers in writing.  Some published, some not.  Always good to see old friends and make new ones.  I don’t have much to report by the way of the biz, as I didn’t attend any workshops.  This was more of a mingle and see my agent and editor trip.  I have the world’s best editor.  She’s fun, dresses way cool, always has the best glasses.  She hip, she’s trendy, and she likes my writing.  What more can I ask for?

All my life, I’ve only had one refrigerator.  I am organized, I managed it.  Even when holidays came around, pre-made pies, fruit salads, etc., found a spot.  Beverages were put in an ice chest for the day and folks could help themselves.

I have a 20 year old daughter who works at Sephora.  She’s fabulous with make-up, and she’s also a cosmetologist who does my hair.  She holds down two jobs, pays her bills on time, is responsible and is–if I may say–gorgeous.  So she just called to say she’s made it to the next round of Pro Beauty–an in-house competition within Sephora over who their top in-store make-up artist will be!!!!  I am so proud of her!  She’ll be going to San Francisco to compete in the next round.  I’ll be cheering her on!
