Just busy, apparently. Doing what? Hard to say. It doesn’t sound like much, blogpostwise. But it’s been full.
Still drafting. That’s good. I reached a big hole, maybe the last one, and I’m filling it in. Little at a time. It will come. And someday I’ll give you an excerpt. Because I’m a tease like that.
I had a delightful meeting with some writers, and we read some work together (mostly mine, because I’m needy that way) and ate wonderful foods. Always wonderful foods. If you’re going to form a critique group (call it what you will) food goes a long way to forging bonds.
And then Saturday, we went boating with some friends. Considering that we live ten minutes from two boating reservoirs, we go very infrequently. Plus we don’t have a boat. So there’s that, too. But anyway, we went. It was a riot. Great company, and what more can you ask for? What? Comedy? Oh, then here you go. Kid 4, in his 6-year-old adorability, had to pee. So I told him to just jump in. The look on his face was about as priceless as they come. Friend boys leaped in after him, as did his sister, Kid 3. They all proceeded to warm the water, except for my Kid 4, who maintained a pained look and kept trying to swim away. When someone finally asked him what was up, he waved the other kids away and said, “Go over there. I can’t do this in front of you!”
So apparently I have some life-skills work to do.
And today I get to go with Kid 1 and the high school drama peeps to do some fun. I believe we tour a theater pardon me, theatre, and take in an evening show at a totally different theatre. I’m hoping there will be ice cream at some point. And there will be lots of good company, natch. Because what’s more entertaining than a bus full of teenage drama kids? Right. Nothing.

Hee hee. I remember the first time I was told to pee in the lake. Wow, that was an eye opener! I’m glad you had a good time with your writer friends! I love those meetings. =)

Sounds like good times. And I just LOVE that you spelled theatre properly!

It took us about 10 min to convince Myles that it was ok to pee in the lake. After that he didn’t quite get the concept of walking out until it was at his waste. He would only make it to ankles deep. Priceless!

I had to look long and hard to find a phone that had a qwerty keyboard for texting but didn’t require internet access. I’m a little TOO wired, you know? If I had it on my phone, I might never speak to my children again. Phones these days . . . sheesh.
