Hitting the Books

Well, sorta. As one of my favorite songs says,

Well, the day has just begun and I’m already running late With too many irons in the fire and too much on my plate I’d be pulling out my hair if I could just get one hand free And I’d stop this world if I could find the key.*

This is the first time I’ve been online in days–I am going through severe blog withdrawl. It’s going to take me a week just to catch up on Miss Snark alone. And I’m not allowing myself to start reading even now.

I finally got the Romance Through the Ages contest materials all ready to send out. I got smart and sent in the entry form and fee on Saturday (it’s due this Friday), and saved the actual book and synopsis for an e-submission. Gave me an extra 3 or 4 days to work on polishing and tightening up the first 30 pages. I was just happy I managed to fit everything into a 2-page synopsis.

Now the big thing is our silk-screening venture. Between design work, burning the screens, and the actual printing, I’ve not had much time to myself. Especially since the only time I can work in the garage is during Punkin’s nap time (when I’d much rather be napping myself) or late at night (when I’d much rather be sleeping). Hopefully we’ll have some of the designs up on the Internet soon, over at American Punkin, and we’ll find out if I’ve been wasting my time or not.

Oh yes, and the DH was sick as a dog this past weekend. If life continues going at this breakneck speed, I’ll be as bald as my father pretty soon.

Anyhoo, I’m off to whittle one more thing off my to-do list, or fall asleep trying. I promise I’ll get a real post up before Saturday.
