Random ish, just sharing...

I've been really bored lately. I'm supposed to be working on my fourth manuscript to stay ahead of the game but haven't written a word. I'm supposed to be updating this blog at least twice a week...eh well you know that hasn't been the case. Boredom drives me to find enjoyment in being a voyeur into other people's lives via facebook, myspace, and my celeb gossip sites.

Now my bored isn't the traditional meaning of bored. My life is insanely busy and I get very little down time to actually "feel" bored. I guess I mean, uninspired. I've been really uninspired lately.

My fourth manuscript is (for now) the sequel to my first novel, "Take it There," but I'm so much older now than I was when I wrote those characters it's going to be a big challenge. I want to re-read the book but I HATE READING MY OWN WRITING. I just cringe at the thought, especially with that book. All I can do is think about a better word I could've used or a better metaphor. I often find myself rolling my eyes and mentally bitch slapping myself at some the material. Why did I say that like that? Why did I say that at all? What was I thinking?

Aside from that I have a girl's trip to New Orleans next week that I am so anxious about that I just can't stand it! Maybe once I get the trip behind me I'll be able to get back at it?

Oh wow and not to mention that we just converted our two family house into a one family so we've taken on 50% more house and that's been a BIOTCH. Knocked down a few walls, did some paint changes. Keeping this bigger house clean is a task and we have a few more rooms now to buy furniture for. I now have an office but my hubby's still building my computer so I don't use it yet. It's *lovely* though. I had it painted a bluish/green and tan so it reminds me of the beach and sand in the Caribbean. Maybe I'll post pics when it's all decorated and workable.

My daughter and I are two weeks into our hair growth regimen and I'm so proud I've stuck with it! (two weeks is a big feat for me :-) Pathetic.

I've also been dieting and working out on a regular basis for the last month or so. Which to me is the equivalent of being sent to hell with a huge Jesus piece around my neck. But I'm seeing progress so it feels sooooo good :-) 17 pounds lost in the last year and counting...

Well, it was nice talking to you. Blogs coming more often!
