The biggest idiot on the planet….
….is quite likely me. Guess who was happily trimming tree roots from a hole we were digging and accidentally snipped the satellite cable wire? 
Oh sweet Lord. Yes. Idiot. Me. So I’ll be digging up cable tomorrow morning and hoping that my darling husband can somehow mend it. I’m not sure. I have my doubts. But I swear, it LOOKED like a tree root. Maaannnn…
Good news: all the B&Bs and hotels are booked for Ireland. Whew! Load off my chest. I’m just hoping that things are relatively close by. I don’t want to spend all my time in a car. But now I can actually think about the sightseeing part. Yay for that! 
I look forward to studying ancient ruins and thinking about all those hunky Irish warriors who went about, dragging their ladies by the hair. 
Heh. Like that ever happened. I’m sure that ancient warriors were reminded to take off their armor at the door and for god’s sake, quit leaving the garderobe door open. 
But I digress.
Now I just have to fix all the various and sundry things that are left to do before WEDNESDAY. Remind me again what I was thinking when I planned these trips back to back?
But on the bright side, I hope to run into many many blog-buddies. 
I have my eharlequin jammies ready to go for the pajama party. Can’t wait.
In the meantime, I just have to accomplish a few more thousand things. Deep breath. We’ll figure it all out. Now please send out lots of prayers into the universe that the Goddess of All Editors will take pity and buy my book.
And say a little prayer that my husband won’t whack me over the head with a shovel for cutting his satellite cable when he should have been watching Sports Center. I’m sure he’s wanting to right now….especially since I’m leaving him alone with the children for 11 days…:banana:
Perhaps I should buy him a drink in Ireland. Or maybe a few…:drunk:

Yikes:confused2: Cutting a man’s satelite days before you leave him with children for 11 days is not a good thing LOL.
Your trip sounds like a dream (I know, with children in tow you’ll be lucky it’s not a nightmare LOL)
Michelle Says:
Stacy–Actually, the kids are staying with Grandma. Woo hoo!:dancingfool:
Kelly Says:
I cancelled my cable a few weeks ago and I keep having these anxiety attacks over it, which is stupid since I wasn’t watching it in the summer anyway and I’m not missing anything! But I can sympathesize with your hubby - I hope the wire can be fixed!
Chris Keach Says:
Um, definitely make it a few drinks.
mary beth Says:
Yep, a few drinks are definitely in order.
Hope the Goddess hears the prayers!
Tori Lennox Says:
Yep, drinks are definitely in order.
Stephanie Says:
what Harlequin jammy party????? What am I missing????????
And ouch about the cable! My hubby would be going through sports withdrawal right now!
Michelle Says:
Stephanie–bring cute jammies. Harlequin does an eharlequin pajama party for those of us on the boards. I think it’s Thursday night, usually 10:00ish. Ask on the boards and they’ll know. See you there!
Stephanie Says:
Someone told me that was for published authors only… hmmm… have to check!
Melissa Says:
Just you and hubby in Ireland? Oh, wow.
Hope to see you at conference!
kacey Says:
LOL, cut the wire huh? Is your dh speaking to you yet??
Can’t WAIT until National!!
Stacy Says:
Okay, now THAT is a vacation then!:crazyjumping:
Olga Says:
Hugs on the cable - I hope it can be fixed. And have a great dream vacation in Ireland!
Sela Says:
You’re going to have so much fun!!! Can’t wait to see you in Atlanta!
April Says:
Done it. Don’t worry it’s fixable. It ain’t easy all the time, but it’s fixable. I think they put them right where we’ll do that to them. It’s just how it happens.
I’m so excited about nationals! Hope to see you there!
:crazyjumping:
Rene Says:
We would end up in divorce court if I cut the satelitte cable. Unless he killed me first. The DirecTv is sacred in this house. Followed by the Tivo.
Danica/Dream Says:
Oh fun, fun, fun… could be worse. You could’ve broken the tv. At least the cable’s easily spliced.
I can’t wait to see you there!
