Faux Vacation

I took my son down to his grandparents’ yesterday, so I had a whole half a day to myself, which was awesome. I ended up buying a dress:

got to hang out with Alpha Sparkle Dog (aka Liz Maverick) and met the Able to Leave Work At The Almost Normal Time of 7:00 pm Spouse and went out for Thai food and then to see The Hangover.

Oh my goodness. The Hangover was one of the funniest movies I’ve ever seen, so funny, and so incredibly wrong. Just great. I howled during the whole thing, and was a lot more relaxed than I’ve been in a long time.

Today I have to do a ton of advance work so I can take next week off to attend RWA National in DC without losing my daily freelance pay. And then tonight the Spouse and I are going to a Those Darlins show, which should be fun.

So if you review, you will see no writing has been done by me. I am going to have to, again, knuckle down and figure out a better schedule for myself and my writing, since summer vacation is no vacation for one of us. I mean, I love hanging out with my son, and all, but it means I have to jam that much more other stuff into fewer hours.

Oh, and by the way? The pad thai I made turned out really meh. But I twittered about is failure, and my next-door neighbors, who are foodies, gave me their pad thai recipe, which they say is good. And it looks better than the one I used, even just reading the ingredients and their amounts.

Okay, back to freelance.

    Is this the dress you bought? I love it, but it’s not black (also, it’s not green and blue).

    Yes, it IS the dress! And it is not black, and can’t be green and blue because I’ve lived outside of New England for well over 20 years now. Sigh.
