Got some necessary feedback from my last post and has given me a lot to consider.
As for today, el kiddo had her usual Saturday sleepover at my house with her best friend so I made them breakfast and am now chilling on the couch. Did not make it to the Farmer's Market like I wanted to this morning for so good, cheap, fresh fruit and veggies. Damn! But it's all good. I am laying on my new love seat ( which I am just thrilled with, see photo below) reading a book and checking e-mail. Waiting for the New England v. San Diego game at 4:30pm - Go Pats!!! I may live in Florida now but I am truly a New England girl at heart and I crack myself up sometimes at how prudish I can get at some things....throwback to growing up in a very small New England town I guess. But I am working on it.
I am trying to get the motivation to finish a novel I started writing about 2 years ago. I am down to the final chapter but I guess I just don't know how I want it to end since the main character is a spin off of me in a lot of ways. The book started as a factual accounting of the end of my marriage and then took on a life of it's own and became a kind of fictional romance( for lack of a better genre) novel. So maybe I can't finish it yet because my life is so unsettled and I don't want to end it unhappily but I am not yet in a place to believe in happily ever after. The funniest part about writing the book was that as I was writing it I let my sister and best friend read it. Well my sister ( without my knowledge or consent) had my dad read it. Well there are some very racy and explicit scenes in there just like any good romance novel - LOL. Well my dad read it and then was like "well um wow, all that sex stuff, CC sure does have a good imagination huh?" LMAO! Mind you I do have a daughter so obviously I know something about sex but I understand his shock. LOL. But he has been after me ever since to finish it and try to get it published. That has to be a good sign cuz the man may read every published newspaper every day from cover to cover but he only books he will read are autobiographies or political commentary. So that is one of my goals for the year - to finish the book and consider trying to get it published. That along with finally getting serious about losing weight and attempting to date should keep me very, very busy this coming year. Wish me luck! I may start posting excerpts here. We will see.
peace, love and hairgrease,
