Wouldn't it be nice to buy time?


Having one of those weeks where there aren't enough hours to do everything I need to do. I'm sure you all know what I mean, especially those of you packing/preparing for the RWA conference!

I'm currently compiling lists and menu selections for the E-List Dinner (if you're on ROMAUS you need to check the messages and get back to me if you want to come) as well as sorting my outfits for next weekend. I'm having a hard time deciding what to wear for the cocktail party, so I may resort to pulling out one of my well-worn dress-up costumes.

Anyway, wanted to share a really interesting link to Kate Walker's blog where she's been discussing conflict in writing. It appears she's been discussing the topic for quite some time, but I missed the previous posts. Go to http://www.kate-walker.blogspot.com/ and read through the posts on the topic. She makes some really good points, and as multi published Harlequin author, she knows what she's talking about.

Oh, and forgot my hero of the week is Mike Rowe from the Discovery Channel's Dirty Jobs program. He has a great voice, is a bit rough around the edges, and extremely likeable. Looks pretty good without a shirt on (added bonus!) but don't tell my hubby I said that!

Off to sort out my wardrobe,

I've seen Dirty Jobs. What makes the host even more appealing is that he has a great sense of humour and is prepared to laugh at himself. Good choice.

See you soon and thanks for organising the dinner.

Hey Shayne, he's quite funny, isn't he? He certainly has an appealing quality and a voice made for TV. My hubby likes the show (so I'm 'forced' to watch it against my will, right?! Lol).

One week to go! One week to go! :-)

Never seen the show (we don't have cable tv). But kowing hte taste of you two gals, I wish I did .

See you next week ~squeeee~

Anita, I don't have cable either, but it's on digital free-to-air. ABC 2, I think, and well worth watching. He works in the dirtiest jobs just to see what it's really like. Not a pretty boy, by any means, but there's something blokey and attractive about him. Grrr :-)

Next week! Next week!

Definitely know what you mean re not enough hours in the day. I wonder if your costume will start with an 'S'? ;))
And isn't Mike Rowe just hilarious. Love Dirty Jobs. He does have a hero factor about him for sure.

Mon said...

Hey EK, it might start with an 's'. Space alien? Spy? Spook? Snowman? *vbg*

Mike Rowe was on ABC 2 last night. I was pleased to see him laugh, almost trip over and generally goof around on Dirty Jobs. His voice is just so pleasant to listen to. Noice.

Less than a week to go! Less than a week to go!
