A final wrap up and a little bit of this and a little bit of that





Now what would a conference be without lots of free books? Not quite so good is what I think. And luckily there were lots of books. I didn't get as many this time as in times past. I didn't want to ship them home so I tried not to buy to many at the book fair, though of course I did buy some. A number were on the list I had and the ones I didn't get, hopefully will be in my hands in a couple of weeks. But this is the list of the books I did get!!


Ashley, Jennifer Lady Isabella's Scandalous Marriage
Boyle, Elizabeth Confessions Of A Little Black Gown
Butcher, Shannon Running Scared
Butcher, Shannon Finding The Lost
Dare, Lydia A Certain Wolfish Charm
Estep, Jennifer Spider's Bite
Freethy, Barbara In Shelter Cove
Harlow, Karin Enemy Lover
Kinsale, Laura Seize The Fire
Mayhue, Melissa A Highlander's Homecoming
Novak, Brenda The Perfect Murder
Parrish, Leslie Cold Sight
Quinn, Julia What Happens In London
Quinn, Julia The Secret Diaries Of Miranda Cheever
Singh, Nalini Bonds Of Justice
Walker, Shiloh The Missing
Wilde, Lori The True Love Quilting Club

I got some good ones didn't I?

A Little Bit of This

And a Little Bit of That

I'm headed for the country shortly. My sister from Massachusettes is down for a few days. I wasn't sure I could get the time off work - I mean I just had last Friday and Monday off, but I thought it didn't hurt to ask. And low and behold, they found a casual employee who was looking for hours - and she's worked in our department. So (YES!) I'm off tomorrow and Friday. So the 3 of us are going to hang in the country until Monday. Hopefully I'll get some internet time.

So is the month of July turning out to be a good month or what?!?!?!? First off there was RomCon where I saw some old and new friends, then some nice sister time and rounding off the month, the trip to Orlando where I'll get to see more old friends, new friends and hopefully even newer friends. And of course authors - glorious authors.

So I'll be around - just not sure how much

D'oh!!


I did not realize until yesterday when I was printing up my itinerary that you could choose your own seats on airplanes!! It's no wonder every trip I've taken so far that I've had the rotten middle seat and had strangers to the right of me, strangers to the left of me and I was stuck in the middle with me. I've been booking far in advance of when you could do that and then not bothering to check until just a couple of days before I left. And I never noticed that button at the bottom where you can pick your seat.
Unfortunately, I was much to late for the trip to RomCon and will be stuck in the middle seat every flight. On one of the flights, the seat I had to go with was the very last one still open!! But thankfully I checked in time for the flight to Orlando and have window seats both there and back. But it figures the longest flight I'll be squished.
