In honor of the upcoming holidays, there’s a Special Sale Price on my 2010 Ireland calendar! The price has been reduced from $25 to $20.95 (which, somewhat oddly, is the lowest price I seem to be able to set it at). Everybody always needs a calendar, right? It’s a sure-fire gift! :) Apparently one good thing about getting up at 5:30 is that if you take a 2.5 hour nap starting at 11:30, it’s still only 2pm when you get up from it, which makes the day not feel wasted.…

up too early.
I woke up at 4:30 this morning, which isn’t in and of itself unusual. My complete inability to go back to sleep was, though, so after an hour of lying there wide awake I just got up. Consequently, before 8am I’ve edited a short story and reduced my inbox from over 1350 messages down to 16, partially based on the decision that any email over a year old could be summarily deleted because I was obviously never going to answer it. An hour and a half ago I thought, “Hey,…
Whew!
We have arrived safely home again. The flights were uneventful, as they should be. On the train we were sat in front of 3 teenage girls who were being horrid in the way that only 3 teenage girls can be. (More or fewer mitigates the horror.

I tell you what, though, there’s nothing like being around teenage girls to make me grateful that I’m no longer one myself. :) Upon arriving home…
quick post from SeaTac
I am bereft of ice cream–SeaTac doesn’t appear to have an ice cream parlour of any sort, which seems to me a terrible oversight–but am possessed of a beanbag chair and a wifi connection just a few yards away from my gate, so that’s not all bad. :) A few minutes ago a man walking by said, “How are those beanbags working out for you?” and I gave him two thumbs up and said, “Pretty good!”, whereupon the woman with him said, “He got them installed here!” So I expressed…
yay fun!
Booksigning in Seattle was fun. Several people brought big stacks for me to sign (including Dermody books and comics! Yay!). Although I have piles and piles of my own books at home, somehow it’s different when somebody pulls out a 12-book-tall stack of well-loved books for me to sign. It looks like a LOT that way. :) Saw many people, old friends and new, and had a very nice evening indeed. I’m a happy camper. Donno when I’ll post again, maybe not until we get home, but Ted and I…
