I learned a very important lesson this weekend. You can sing every word of Coolio’s “Gangsta’s Paradise” like it’s 1995, but that doesn’t mean you can still party like you’re a junior in high school.
My friends and I hit a local club to hear My So Called Band, who covers 90’s music. We danced. We sang along. We were out way later than I normally am. I mean I didn’t even leave my house until 9:30. Okay, I’ll stop here because I’m beginning to reveal just how close I am to becoming a Golden Girl.
As you might imagine, a very late night led to a late start the next morning. However, I can tell you that I exceeded my five hours of working on my book this week. I think it ended up at about six or seven hours. It still doesn’t feel like enough. However, I’m off three days this week and have high hopes for the free time. Part of that will be prepping for NaNo, which is coming so soon!
I also got to spend a lot of time with my kids at dinner and hanging out on Saturday afternoon. This week is also their fall break, so lots of quality time this week too.
Hard to believe that the first week of ROW80 is already over. Looking forward to even more progress this next week.
