Devon, that IS unacceptable. A big outfit like that not paying on time? Ridiculous.

Paula has a keyboard! Yay! Paula, don't feel bad – my daughter has been typing on a laptop that, for three years now, has been missing the M, N, and comma keys. She dropped a tv on it. Don't ask. I'm not sure I want to know, either.

I really enjoyed our weekend rain… not nearly as much as they were calling for though.

Things here are pretty good. Still cleaning up some blog mess from the near loss after the database failure (mostly trying to restore some of the old comments that got zapped between backups). Then blogging, manuscript editing for the QFF book, and some site dev work this week.

I had a couple small things to wrap upon Friday, but managed to do a bit of laundry. Saturday I did some light cleaning and had a blast baking and decorating super cute egg-shaped cookies. My sister and brother-in-law were hosting, but I said I'd make cookie place cards. So much more fun that dyeing eggs, but the result was fun. Without knowing, I used some of the same colors as the Easter napkins and plates. It looked planned.

Easter itself was great, with the sister & b-i-l, my brother & s-i-l, niece, nephew, and my cousin's entire family. The funny thing: I had about 8" of hair lopped off, in a slightly different style (lots of layers and shorter in back, longer in front) last week and the s-i-l and b-i-l were the only ones who mentioned it. I guess the bio-fam is just used to me going from long-to-mid-length hair over and over again.

Workwise I have one article to set up interviews for, a few more LOIs to send out and, like Devon, I have an overdue payment to chase.

New workshop (with a different and reliable organization) starts today, so that's all good.

Struggling with the book due in June. Must work through this difficult patch and then hope it's smoother sailing.
