daily accomplishments

1. Finally ended the Great Jeans Quest of 2005 by finding the perfect pair today: dark indigo, boot cut, mid-rise, and, most importantly, 100% cotton. I am so so so so happy. You have no idea how long I have been looking for these jeans. I will never take them off. I will wear them under my other clothes to work. I’m in love!

Also, I am too skinny. I need to eat more. I will not tell you what size these jeans were, but I will reveal that they are my usual size divided in two. Now, I will admit that the first step down is probably due to this size-inflation thing that’s been going on lately (I can’t be the only one noticing this, right?), but the other step — that’s me not eating enough pasta. So I had a burger tonight, and fries. Am not willing to lose my big fat J-Lo butt.

2. Made my first bid on eBay. Was outbid almost immediately. Made my second, third, fourth, fith, sixth and seventh. Outbid x 7. Decided I hated eBay.

3. Wrote a LOT on my book. A lot a lot. I’m at the climax now.

4. Opened up a new, business bank account with my first fiction-writing paycheck. Feel so official right now.

In other news, my agent, Deidre Knight, who is also a writer of science fiction romance for Berkley, just received her first cover, and it’s extraordinary. Look here. Purty, huh?
