I know y'all probably think that authors live glamorous lives (mostly in full make-up and stiletto heels). So I thought, on this holiday weekend, that I'd give you a glimpse into mine before I go full-bore promotional "THE BOOK IS COMING OUT SOON" for
Dangerously Charming. (Which is on sale now at Amazon, by the way. The paperback version is actually cheaper than the Kindle one, if you can believe it.)
So here you are, for your amusement, my glamorous life this weekend:
 |
| First, I defrosted the freezer in the mudroom. |
I'm making pesto today, so I needed to make room to put up the extra.
 |
| Then I went to the dump. No, I was not wearing full make-up and high heels. |
 |
| Then I picked up a new office chair. I have to replace them a lot. Apparently my butt kills them. |
Magic the Cat is checking it out. She doesn't look too sure.
 |
| My friend Ellen came over to help me harvest things from the garden. |
Eggplants, tomatoes, and onions, OH MY.
 |
| The garlic harvest had been drying and it was time to clip it off and put it away. |
 |
| It looks like a lot, but half will get replanted for next year. |
 |
| No, you're not seeing double. |
The old cat tower had seen better days, but Angus spends most of his time sitting on the top bit, so when I saw the exact same thing on sale, I bought it. Ellen helped me put the new one together, using the non-instructions that always come with such things, and then we dragged the old one down to the street in hopes that it would find a new home. It was gone before we went back into the house. (Seriously. A nice lady with a station wagon was VERY happy.)
 |
| Naturally, Magic had to check this out too, even though she doesn't sit up there. |
 |
| Yesterday was mostly house cleaning. |
Yes, that's a pile of cat fur. Yes, that's all from one room. Yes, that is Magic supervising in the upper left. See? Glamour. Lots and lots of glamour.
Today I'm mostly working on the 365 Days of Everyday Witchcraft book for Llewellyn, although I did finish writing a short short story for
Literary Escapism later this month, featuring Mikhail Day and Beka. And I have to go out and harvest a bunch of the seriously-out-of-control basil and make a huge batch of pesto. At least now I have a clean freezer to put it in.
What did you do with your weekend, three-day or not?
Oh, and be sure to come back tomorrow, because
GIVEAWAY. Just sayin' :-)
