You're twisting my melon, man

I love the Happy Mondays. Call the cops!

I dunno. Most Mondays don't start off this well, so Happy Monday came to mind, then my pinball thinking led me to the Happy Mondays. Been a long time since I thought about 'Step On.'

But, I woke up at 4:15 a.m. *yawn* to go pick up my mom. She went to work with my dad (it is a lot closer to go to his work than to their house), so I could get her to watch the kids while I went to talk to a guy about some writing assignments. He wants me to produce much of the copy and serve as the editor for a new quarterly publication he is introducing in the region. If it works out well (on short notice as he wants all by Feb. 2), then it could be a regular quarterly gig for me. I can use those kinds of jobs.

I'm drinking some tasty peppermint mocha. CSI:NY is on in some sort of marathon. I'm caught up on my work (for now) and (for the most part) the kids are occupied with the new Wii (when they're not fighting over it).

Life is pretty good.

Tonight I get to go to a meeting of the writers' group I belong to. That is always fun and inspirational. Now, I just need to find an extra hour in the day to write and exercise. Although, I just walked by the mirror in the bathroom and I must say that I have a very spankable ass. Thick or not. I'm not too bad for a 40-year-old soccer mom.
