You just have to laugh


Yesterday turned out to be.....interesting. We packed up the whole family (including the dog, Rowdy) and headed to Eureka (about 15 miles north) and got the damage on the truck estimated, the paycheck deposited (very important) and the groceries bought. Then we all went out to Pepper's for dinner. Fifteen minutes into dinner, Paul (the four year old) starts puking. Lovely.
It was really pleasant. I just had to laugh about it later. After the week I've had, that just seemed to be typical. It didn't stress me though. At some point, this last few days, I've accepted that right now life is chaotic and crazy. I don't like it, but that's how it is. Fighting it only makes it worse.
Today's plans are to go to Shanty Creek (see picture above) and then come home, eat dinner and head into Eureka for the Late Model races at Redwood Acres Racetrack. A typical redneck day. All I can do is go with the flow.
Oh, one more thing. There are two contests I'd really like to enter. One with the Calgary RWA that has Jennifer Jackson (agent) reading the Romantic Suspense category. I'd love to enter that. Then there is another one called the Molly contest that has an editor from Harlequin reading RS entries. The one in Calgary is cheaper, but the Molly contest has a more targeted jugde. Also, I don't want to go contest nutty. I think I'm going to email Lisa and see if she thinks (with a little work) "Cold Murder" is a good enough entry. If it's too raw, I'll just wait. Not something I do well, waiting.
Off to do some writing.
