I started September off with some of my oldest and dearest friends. We crowded into my tiny townhouse and enjoyed Baltimore (and a little DC too!). All three of them visited Aurora at breathe books on Saturday for readings and were blown away by her insight. I camped out at Common Ground with the rest of the ladies while we waited for each one to have their session. They all returned teary and starry eyed.
We took a quick road trip to DC and had dinner at Coppi’s (fantastic pizza!). On our way back to the car, we passed Ben’s Chili Bowl, a historic landmark in DC. Everyone has to go there. They even have vegan chili! After the last senorita walked out the door on Monday, I was left with a comfy air mattress in the middle of my living room and a little time on my hands (since my secretary, Thomas, and I had the day off). I was happy to get some writing done and watch a movie with the hubs. I was sort of sorry to see the air mattress go…
After a weekend of over-indulgence, I’m embracing some peaceful moderation. It feels good. Which is why I’m going to shut down my computer now and hit the hay. I have a long trip in the car coming up (hopefully as the passenger for most of it!), so I’ll have a chance to get a good chunk of writing done. I’m 22,308 words into the second draft. I read The Intern‘s blog today, titled: Scientific proof that publishing a book will not make you happier, and it really struck a chord with me. If you’ve ever thought, “If I just get to (fill in the blank) then I’ll really be happy and satisfied,” read it! Good night!
