I received my RITA books to judge today, and I’m a happy camper. Last year was my first year to judge, and I was sent 9 books. This year I was only sent 6 books. That’s much more manageable. Last year, even though I signed up to judge 3 categories, I received 8 books from one category. Not an ideal situation. This year, I have books from 3 categories, and some are different categories than I judged last year, so I’m greatly looking forward to it.\u00a0<\/p>\n
I’ll dig in this weekend. I’ve ordered my new computer, but it won’t be here for two\u00a0weeks. I also ordered a netbook as a belated\u00a0birthday present from My Liege.\u00a0He wanted to take me to\u00a0an electronics store and help me pick one out, but I\u00a0already\u00a0knew\u00a0what I wanted and it was\u00a0just so easy to buy the netbook while ordering the new tower. I\u00a0got a better deal by ordering both from the same supplier, too.<\/p>\n
Now M.L. has to\u00a0go out and buy me a little something extra, because it’s just not right that I should buy\u00a0a birthday present for myself. Aren’t I\u00a0clever?\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
I’m back to editing the requested full manuscript. Today I’m on Youngest Son’s laptop. Yesterday, I was on M.L.’s. Y.S. has Word 2007, so I’m experiencing a learning curve, that’s for sure.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
