Thursday 13 - Why My List Isn't Better This Week



1. I just flew in last night from my trip to Amsterdam and Brussels. Boy, are my arms tired (along with everything else.)

2. I'm still on Amsterdam time. Right now, it's six hours ahead there. So my body is still adjusting, and I'm beat.

3. We walked and walked and walked. That's what I love about Europe. But it takes its toll on normally sedentary bodies. ;) So I'm tired from that.

4. I can't wait to share my photos from the trip, but there are a LOT of them, so I'm spending time getting those together.

5. After only one week, our DVR is 100% full. I've got to make room for new stuff, and get caught up on Lost and Heroes before someone spoils it for me.

6. Do you know how much dirty laundry can come out of a small suitcase?

7. There is no food in the kitchen for eating. None. Except the milk I bought on the way home last night. Grocery store, here we come.

8. We also shot a lot of video. Need to upload that (takes forever).

9. Then we need to edit the video. Also takes a while. But all for your enjoyment!

10. Need to prepare to go to Boston next week, pitching my book to some agents at Connecticut Fiction Fest!

11. I have a ton of books that I need to get to reading!

12. Came back from vacation to job cuts at work. Spared this time, but still nervous. Grateful and feel guilty for being okay, too. So I need to put in special extra effort.

13. Still need to do some promoting work for \THE LIST to get more people to check it out!

  1. Whew on #12. That's never good.

    To see you return from vacation and start blogging so quickly shows me one thing...You are addicted! LOL!

    When we return from vacation I just park our bags in the laundry room and empty them right there. Course since our bedrooms are upstairs & the laundry room is down stairs, I'm just saving myself the trip.

    you didn't mention Pooh Bear...how is the old man?

  2. I don't understand that suitcase thing. It all seems to fit at the start of the trip.

    Give my regards to my hometown!

  3. Pooh Bear is good. He's a little clingy when we come back from vacation, but at least he's happy to see us!

  11. The only lousy part of travelling is getting home to find all that's waiting for you. I was there last week; I know the pain!
