C'mon, Mama needs a new pair of shoes...

If any of you read Andi's blog, Tripping Towards Lucidity - as well you should - then you probably know that she uncovered a way to pick up some more cash by blogging about the city in which you live. She passed this knowledge along to me and I am now doing the same. I don't know how much you make through it but it's worth a shot. Revenue comes through visits so read it, love it, make it your own! Even if you're not in Austin, live vicariously through me!

(Well, if you want to help out and click once in a while, I'd appreciate it. I will probably make it my home page or something.)

Do any of you remember that I was writing a novel last year? I kind of forgot about it but it has resurfaced in my mind of late. The interesting thing is, I lost the file so had to begin writing it over, and it came out a bit differently. Same protagonist but otherwise different. I guess that is to be expected. The weird thing is, I have the ending - only the ending - in my mind, very clear, how I'm going to do it, etc. Now I need to make my way there.

In more EXCITING news, High School Friend called me yesterday to let me know that she is now engaged. Ring and all. I was so happy I nearly cried which is probably silly of me, but, you know, I cry a lot. Everyone saw it coming after eight years anyway - high school puppy love - but to actually happen? She is my first close friend ... hell, friend at all ... to get engaged and I am seriously psyched. Psyched!

Boyfriend helped me to squeeze out that paying gig piece by the deadline last night. I'm glad that's over with. Now I just have to write my magazine article, three blog entries and various stories. Never a break, muchachos. But it's good stuff, I cannot complain.
