Okay, I'm game. My friends are blogging with me, but everybody seems to have a life, so y'all get me again. Colleen took off for AZ, Di is playing with her girlfriends, and Denise is probably in mom mode.

I, on the other hand, am editing "A Girl's Best Friend". I have the best editor (Leslie Peterson) and it's just so exciting to really see things coming together. Morgan, the heroine of this one has sort of "lost it" financially so it's very cathartic writing. Moving to the country, I totally feel for the girl. I mean, my life used to consist of getting into the convertible, driving to my favorite of MANY coffee shops in downtown Mt. View, blasting David Crowder, and coming home to drive the kids to school. Doesn't that sound like a posh life? Writing Morgan helped me remember the bad stuff: the constant demands, the inability to take children anywhere without a dirty look, paying for EVERYTHING because no one had the time to do squat, etc. I don't miss that part so much. Now if I need help for the kids, I just farm them out, and vice versa. It's a real community here, and I do love that.

But back to writing. I am trying to edit amid countless soccer games, and homework battles. (What is with the homework these days? I think my kids did more this year already than I did in my entire high school career). When I see a book coming together though, it just reminds me I have the best job in the whole wide world. : ) Happy Tuesday! Kristin
