‘Scuse me while I go pass out…

Today is, quite possibly, the best day of my life. I got a letter in the mail today from Mills & Boon Historicals. They wrote: “We really enjoyed sharing the unfolding romance between Bevan and Genevieve, and had an instant empathy for Genevieve whilst we found Bevan to be an immensely charismatic and appealing hero. The attention to historical detail is spot on, whilst you have created a really interesting, exciting and emotional story, with strong hooks, compelling conflict and excellent characterisation.”

SCREAM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

OHMYGODOHMYGODOHMYGOD!!!!!!!

THEY WANT ME TO SEND IT BACK WITH MINOR REVISIONS!!!!!

SCREAM!!!!!! :confused2:

Workshops and Speakers and Lunches, Oh My!

Today my local chapter is having a guest speaker, Michelle Monkou. I love workshops and motivational speakers. Especially when they involve chocolate (my chapter is so smart about this. If you feed them, they will come). There’s something about spending a day learning new things that is exciting and energizing.

Okay, okay, you’re right. The real energy comes from my husband watching the children ALL DAY and I get to have some time ALONE. I have a wild urge to yell, “They’re yours! All yours! Diapers and all! Bwahahahaaa….” :starwars:

I love my children. Dearly. They are the apples of my eye, but when you are on Mom-duty 24-7, having a few hours by yourself is sweet, pure Elysium. Two of my teacher friends are pregnant. They are in that lovely glowing phase where they read their books which state things like, “Your child is the size of a jelly bean today.” And the best thing about being pregnant for the first time is when your husband asks, “So how was your day?” and you can say important, meaningful things like, “It was great. I grew a set of lungs today and a liver.” Man, try competing with that one. It’s almost worth the all-day sickness (morning? Ha!).

So, anyhoo, I’ll share the knowledge I learn from today’s workshops later on. In the meantime, have a great Saturday!
