busy so busy yet nothing got done
Hmm. True, I had to get up early to go to work. But I came home and did ... stuff. Really important stuff, I'm quite sure. I remember I played cards with my son. Did more . . . stuff. Reading. I did reading for school. Took a nap. Shopping. I had errands so we went into town to do that. A Darker Crimson was in the Long's drugstore I go to and the grocery store. That was exciting. Had to check the PO box to make sure there wasn't anyone who'd mailed in a contest entry. Ran into a friend and her son on our way home from errands and we ate sandwiches together. Home. Did more . . . stuff. Played dungeons and dragons with my son. More .... stuff.
Then my little brother emailed to say he got married. My phone paged me first and since he attached photos, it took a while for the email to show up in my actual email box. So, at first I only had the first 150 characters on my cell phone and I was thinking, why on earth would Patti O'Shea be emailing me about her characters getting married? (We'd been talking about that for the Crimson City blog so I have an excuse.) But no email from Patti. Then I looked at the message again and saw it was from my youngest brother! Some excitement all around with that. In his defense (he emailed??) she's Danish and they decided it would be easier to get married and not have half the family complaining they couldn't come. But they got married Tuesday and this is Saturday! But his wife (!!) is fantastic so it's really happy happy news. Yay!
I picked my contest winner. I ended up pulling everything into a database and generating a random record. I'll post the winner tomorrow.
Among the stuff I didn't do today was write a blessed word. I'm going to put my jammies on and get at least something done.
