Just Beachy

My Liege and I were determined to spend July 4th on the lake, come rain or shine. Luckily, it didn’t rain, although at first we thought it might. Clouds hovered until the afternoon, when the sun finally broke free.

I was forced to take a self-portrait…

Because My Liege was reading… (There he is, at the very end of the left dock).

Who am I to interrupt such a worthy endeavor?

Note to Self: When holding camera so close to own face, nose looks enormous…

Behold, my photography skills:

“Choppy Waters, with Feet”

How did you spend your July 4th weekend?

For Those Who Thought…

I couldn’t go a (week)day without posting to my blog, I just did! (Um, sort of). (I just had to brag).

Piccies tomorrow!!

Happy Independence Day

To all my American cousins!

Yes, fellow bloggers, I have American cousins. Some were born in Canada then migrated to the U.S. so they could live close to Disneyland. That’s not the official story, but I know the truth. Others (in the same family) were born in the States. Now they are spread far and wide across the great U.S., like all of my American writer friends.

Enjoy your Independence Day. I’ve decided to celebrate with you. My Liege took the day off, and if it looks like most of the day will be sunny, you’ll find us floating on a monster-sized lake with a lake monster in it, which is an adventure in survival you don’t want to miss, let me tell you. If it starts to rain, I’ll be at home doing something far less relaxing, although I haven’t decided what yet. I’m crossing my fingers for the sun.

It’s Improv, Eh?

I’m stretching Canada Day to Canada Two-Day. Why? Because we had record-breaking heat a couple of days ago and my air conditioner is on the fritz. I need an infusion of the Great White North.

For those too :::ahem::: young to recognize this pair of hosers, Rick Moranis (playing Bob on the left, looking at your computer screen) went on to play that geeky guy in Ghostbusters who turns into a living gargoyle, and he also starred in the Honey, I Shrunk the Kids movies and is in perpetual re-runs at the Honey, I Shrunk the Audience 3-D show at Disneyland and DisneyWorld. Dave Thomas (not that Dave Thomas), who plays Doug on the right, is probably best known to American audiences for appearing with Brett Butler in the nineties sitcom, Grace Under Fire.

See, you can start off as a bumbling fool and go on to greater and better things. Maybe there’s hope for me after all, eh?

Tell Me Tuesday Summer Hiatus

Popping in for a quick TMT. As usual, I’m finding the summer is getting away on me, what with the kids’ odd hours for their summer jobs, friends visiting from out of town, and RWA National coming up, etc. So there’ll be a few changes around the ol’ blog until early September. Tell Me Tuesday is going on hiatus, as I’ve decided to reduce my posting to about 3 times a week. I haven’t yet decided on a schedule or whether there’ll be a schedule. Ie. I might blog Monday, Wed, Friday, or I might blog Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, or any combination thereof. So keep checking in, because I’m not disappearing completely. I do have posts planned for the rest of this week, featuring a fun quiz tomorrow, so drop back in.

My Tell You Tuesday: The WIP is motoring along, I’m finally so glad to say. I’m also coordinating the 2007 Golden Heart Alumni offerings for the Jo Leigh Fundraiser, and I have a packet of Maggies entries to judge. Lots of fun! I’m even getting outside to do some of my writing, because the rain has finally decreased to a few showers a week. It’s about time.

What do you have going on? Do you find it more difficult to blog and keep up with your writing schedule in the summer? How do you prioritize?
