Randomness

1.  Very soon, I will  have a post full of awesomeness to share!  We ex-mentees (I really hate that "ex" part) are putting together our best take-away advice from the Nevada Mentorship Program!  Check back in May for lots of fantastic FREE writing tips.

2.  Yesterday, I played soccer for the only second time this year.

3.  I scored three goals.  Oh yes.  I rock.

4.  Today, my knee is swollen and clicking again which means...no more soccer and possible scoping/surgery. 

5.  Damn.

6.  The architecture gig is super busy which leaves me little time for...

7.  ...final revisions on my mentor piece.  I'm about 75% finished, except that I keep making plot changes which...

8.  ...result in further revision.  I'm currently working on a version of my ms titled, "Kind of a Mess". 

9.  It's still not spring here in Boise.  I hate that.

10.  I'm trying to make plans for the LA SCBWI conference.  If you're going, leave me a comment.  I'm having trouble getting things come together and I need lots of motivation to make it all work.

11.  Did I mention I had a birthday a couple weeks ago?  I'm over thirty now.  (I was over thirty before, but I like the way that sounds.)

What's going on at your house?

Four Things on Monday

Some of our wonderful presenters from the Boise SCBWI Conference this past weekend:

Neysa Jensen (ARA), Judy Cox (Author), Sydney Salter (Author), Jen Rofe (Agent), Gloria Skurzynski (Author) and Carol Lynch Williams (Author)

Yesterday, we hiked with the Triplet Family to Wees Bar, a place on the Snake River where early humans carved pictographs onto boulders.  We hiked twelve miles, round trip, in six hours with four ten-year olds.  The math hurts my head.

This is Sascha and me after our last Vball game.  We ended up tying for last place in the league which is better than last year, when we held last place all by our lonesomes.

Three of the four triplets.  I see the teenager attitude is starting already.
