Sometimes, I wish I could hide in the woodwork. Might be fun. I'd pick a piece that had some great carved detail--I'm sure I could entertain myself for a few hours or days.
Last night I couldn't get to sleep because my creative mind would NOT shut off. Too much reading. And now, I'm up but have no place to go since the mall is slow and they canceled the shift I managed to scrounge up. I should write. I have my plot ninja and he usually helps out when my muse is still asleep, but I'd rather mope for a few minutes.
Okay, no more self-pity wallowing. I guess it is time to face the world. And maybe find some lunch!

because I always have something to say...
Actually, I don't. I have nothing pressing to blog about. That isn't to say things aren't happening in my life, they are just super boring or require way too many details.
But I feel like people deserve to have a semi-updated post here, so I'm posting. Let's see-what can I tell you?
Well, I've been at Panera today since 11. It is now after 3. I'll be here for a little while longer, depending on when Miss Pottenger wants to watch Dr. Who. I should be writing on my kingdom story, but I'm not. I am avoiding it because it needs a major overhaul and I'm not sure I'm ready. But my critique group is going to be pestering me for the next bit, so I can't avoid it much longer. I've given lots of feedback to the teens. Some of them are writing amazing stories for our July project. I'm ever so proud of them.
I've read over 50 books this year. I'm on 52 and 53 I think. My goal (if you forgot) is 100. So I'm pretty much on track.
I think I need the peace and quite of my own house, but I don't have a fountain of Mt. Dew at home, so I'm still at Panera...wasting time.

crazy times...
Wow. What a week. Or rather, 11 days. The chaos started on a Thursday night when 4 of our gals flew into town. It didn't stop until more than a week had passed.
Our days were full of talking, laughing, playing, painting, writing, singing, photos and more. I'm a bit tired (still) so I'm going to let a few pictures do the story telling for me!

mooting...
It's here again. The second annual CleanPlace Moot has arrived and it is, in short, chaos. Not that chaos is always a bad thing.
I have three of the gals staying with me this year. They are all very excited to be here and sharing a room (they could have split up, but they all WANTED to be in the same room). Last night, I heard chatting until 2 am!
Today was walking in Garden of the Gods and then to Panera for our first writing time together. The teens hear about Panera often as three of the four mentors spend a good deal of our time there. I didn't get pictures tonight, but let's just say the community room was crowded! We did some timed writing prompts and the kids all seem to be having a great time.
We have a busy week ahead of us. Pray that I get some sleep and that all our activities go smoothly. Next week (well, Friday) I'll be taking 11 of these teens on a camping trip. What an adventure!
