Oy.
I finally went to the optometrist and picked out glasses. Part of it was fueled by the Groupon for $200 worth of glasses for $50.
I tried on several pairs of frames and narrowed my choices to four. Then the optometrist priced each frame. The most expensive one was over $500!!! Forget that – even with the coupon! The other pairs were either $210 or $275.
After comparing the three pairs, the optometrist and I decided we both liked the $210 pair the best. Nice how that works out, huh? I should get them on Tuesday.
*sigh* I’m gonna be 40 this year. Blech.
in hiding…
Can we say “blog slacker?” I knew we could.
I’m doing another 100×100 challenge and I’m on day FOUR! I’m definitely on a roll. *laugh*
And that’s about what’s going on with me.
Catching up
Spent most of January reading my MS and changing it per my agent suggestions. She’s read it and sent it back to me and I’m working on it again. And during all this, I’ve been performing in a local medieval faire as a singing wench.
My group sings very naughty songs. And it’s SO MUCH FUN.
I’ve been participating in the medieval faire for *cough*twenty*cough* years, but this is the first time I’ve been hired as a singer. My feet hurt and I’ve got a slight bodice burn (the weirdest-looking sunburn you’ll ever see) but it was completely worth it.
One of the best thing was having other performers tell us how good we sound. I hope I hope I hope I get to do this again next year.
You can watch one of our videos here. I’m the short, squat one in purple.
so…
I got nothin’. How about you?
I feel like I learned something
Went to my mom’s for Chanukkah with the intent of reading my story on a printed page and doing markups by hand. With the six hour drive down and husband behind the wheel, I figured I’d get a whole bunch of pages done on the first day easy.
Only we stopped for a bathroom break 2 hrs in and he asked me to drive afterward. *sigh*
The visit with my mom was so full of activity that I’ve been so sleepy at night and not able to edit as much as I liked. Same with the drive back. But tonight I plan on sleeping A LOT and get a fresh start tomorrow. After wench singing rehearsal.
One cool thing? The last time I printed out this story and did edits by hand, there was at least one change on every page. Usually four or five, but all had at least one. This time? Most pages only have one or two, and some have NONE at all!!! Go me!!
Workin’ Out
I started a fitness bootcamp today. You know what makes it easier? When Bootcamp Instructor Guy could be a cover model for a romance novel. Just sayin’.
You know what I hate?
… when you’re tracking changes, but you have them hidden, and you do something universal, like changing the spaces after a period from two to one. And then you keep making changes, until an hour later, when you realize what you’ve done.
Not that I’d know from personal experience or anything…
