Back to the Rat Race…

I’m at the airport…..it’s one of those weeks….busy - but those who know me best know that I prefer to be busy.

Last weekend, I worked and read.  This weekend, I worked on stuff that no one will see the results of for a month or so.  It’s one of those things - what many folks don’t understand is that there is so much prep worked involved in launching a project.  There is work to be done on:

• Mid Issue Update of All Things Girl (Love & Lust)
• Next Issue of All Things Girl (Earth & Sky)
• Launch of the First Edition (Spring 2008) of Pink Nighties.

All of it is very exciting….and I am so thankful for the people in my world that contribute to my total enjoyment of these projects.

My writing has taken a bit of a backseat this week.  It tends to get lost in the shuffle of work and logic.  I’ve had story ideas rolling through my head…and jotted a few things down yesterday so as not to lose them….but it seems it would be easier to process if I had some sort of direct connection between my brain and my laptop.  I would like to have something of my own in Pink Nighties…..but at times, I am so in awe of other writers that my stuff simply doesn’t measure up.

I’ve done some travel planning in the last week or so.  I will be spending some time working…as well as at least one trip for fun.  The Pilot Guys best friend has a birthday coming up, and I’ve been invited to be a surprise dinner guest - so that is something very lovely to look forward to.  I am going to likely add a day to the front of that trip so I can do some sightseeing…maybe do a travel piece…take some photos….

Stop and breathe.

The next day, I should be able to stop and breathe, though.  It’s a work trip, but fortunately, it’s work I enjoy so I can have fun with it.  If you get down to it….as I discussed with one of my co-workers - I love my job - even though I get tired at times.  He told me that he can tell….that it’s obvious I love what I do…and most of the folks around me appreciate my efforts.  That is worth a lot!

Anyhoo….time to wrap things up.  Have a FABULOUS day….
