Love this list, Lori. I am watching Project Runway for the first time to see what all the chatter is about especially since some of the reality shows I like are about to end (Food Network Star and Hell's Kitchen).

I don't know if I can watch True Blood. Not big on vampires or gory shows.

Started a new project -- tech editing a book. Got two weeks to do it (35 chapters, 400+ pages). Time to go do another chapter.

Wendy, I saw a t-shirt, printed upside down, that said, "If you can read this, put me back up on my bar stool." :)

Valerie, my Ambition Fairy has been on vacation, too!

Not sure about this year's designers, Cathy, but I love the creativity on that show.

As for "samples" he'd get writing only! LOL

P.S. I love Project Runway, too, but didn't know it was back. I just happened to have the TV turned to its channel-that was a little blessing, too. 🙂

LOL at the Craigslist ad - I wonder what "sample of work" he is looking for.

The positive of the week is the completion of a series of 5 separate projects for one client. You know how it feels to complete ongoing projects and feel good about the results.

Don't burst my bubble about needing more work. I have a few things lined up right now, but do need to do some more marketing. But, life is good. :-)

It was a fast and unremarkable week for me. Got a lot of work done, rescued a baby gecko from my cats in the kitchen, discovered an error on my cable bill that netted me a nice fat credit. That was probably the highlight. :)

The Ambition Fairy seems to have tapped me this week so I will probably hole up and work most of the weekend.

Highlight of my week:

Getting a small recliner at a local auction (great condition) for $2.50. I was the only one bidding, thanks to a friend, “Brewsking”, who used his influencing talents to convince people to go for the other chairs. Sneaky bastard, but good.

Stupid T-shirt slogan:

Just the other day, I saw a man wearing a shirt with this slogan:“It's my Job to be Annoying.”
Apparently, it is, since the letters were HUGE. All of them.

That's a pretty big positive. :) Congrats!

I predict your next novel will plot the wicked demise of your landlords.

The positive was the signed contract for the new book.

The rest of the week sucked exponentially.
