varina8 this morning for writing and gossip and tea and writing. I wrote my minimum acceptable 500 words today and am feeling good about that. That's over and above the 170 words I excised and had to replace. Go writer me.
After we were writers, we were shoppers. We went over to Half Price Books. I picked up a couple of novels and, the thing I'm embarrassed to be most pleased about having found, on DVD, seasons 1 and 2 of the Discovery Channel series, A Haunting, which tells true tales of--you guessed it--hauntings. The short story I'm working on is a ghost story, so this find is not only pleasing but, currently, thematically appropriate. Having spent faaaar more time than anyone should watching TV shows about the supernatural and paranormal, I'm here to say that for spooky chills and things that make you go "huh!" this series is in my top ten. It's a complete guilty pleasure and I'm not too proud to admit it. :-)
Something else that made me squee this weekend was the arrival of an unexpected package. You see, late, late last year, I posted about how cold it was and how I needed to buy wool socks to keep my feet warm. The package was frommabfan and gnomi and inside were a pair of wonderful, stripey, 100% wool socks that gnomi had knitted for me! As you can see, they are awfully pretty, and I now have warm happy feet.
And tomorrow we're back to work. Things are pretty light right now, so I'm getting housework, tidying, and decluttering done between tasks, which is very satisfying. This won't last much longer, but I'm going to enjoy it while it does.
