Today has been productive in a avoiding-writing sort of way. I put up curtains in my kitchen, did two loads of laundry (I've figured out that my dryer works beautifully if you let the clothes air dry for a day or two first - sad and pathetic, I know, but I'm not going to give up on it just yet), and got some grading done.

I've trashed the novella that I was working on for NaNoWriMo and started anew. A new storyline keeps popping up, and it won't leave me alone. Maybe I should just do a collection of short stories. Then, I wouldn't have to completely start my pathetically meager word count over. That still counts, right?

This weekend, I'm hosting an open house for my friend Karla. She's collected five other vendors, so the running list is Party Lite, Homemade Gourmet, Pampered Chef, Mary Kay, Southern Living at Home, and a friend of hers that makes jewelry. All of them are inviting all their customers. I've posted flyers in the coffee shop downstairs, sent out an email invite, and plan to post on dentontx. It should be massive. There will be cheesecake on a stick. Feel free to fly in and join the festivities. :)

I just heard another professor's student say, "I've been sick the past two weeks with mono." Um....mono lasts longer than two weeks, right? Which means he's still contagious, right? Get back, diseased gremlin! *covers mouth and flees*

Speaking of contagious, I'm not anymore. I'm feeling much better. Thank you for the emails and comments and well-wishing.

I want to go home and clean before the feeling passes. My students will understand, right?

come bring some of that productiveness over here, kay? the only thing I've managed to do since getting home from work is taking a nap and making Mr. Nonnie some dinner (and the only reason he got dinner is because he was coming home on his lunch break at work--if he'd been home, he'd prolly have ended up cooking for us while I slept on the sofa LOL LOL LOL)

I fully believe that naps are productive. You've got to get your rest in order to get anything accomplished, right?

I'll trade you some productivity for some spaghetti...

What is Home and Garden? Sure - mail me the catalog. We'll see.

I'm too lazy to even mail catalogs. I just tell people to look up the websites. :)
