I should have posted earlier today… but I was plumb wore out. In apology, please accept a link to this wholly-unrelated video of The Mavericks singing “Here Comes My Baby.”

I believe I walked somewhere in the order of twenty blocks today in my quest to pick up a bit of hose for my husband’s Halloween costume and get a printer cartridge refilled. And for all that walking I was only half successful: I got the hose, but to my simultaneous disgust and approbation, Cartridge World is closed on Sundays! I mean, good job not profaning the Sabbath and all - but why o why must they be so good about that when I really need my printer cartridge refilled? Oh well.

I’m still reading Mistletoe Murder. It’s a bit harder to read than Christmas Cookie Murder was, and it’s bringing to light some faults I didn’t intially see in that other book - but still, I can hardly blame her for any roughness in the story or writing craftsmanship. I mean, this is her first book. I already know she gets better, so all is forgiven. (For the time being. I still have to finish the book…)

However, the majority of the evening was spent writing, which gives me a warm, satisfied feeling. I would love to show you what I just wrote - but, unfortunately, these silly publishers these days seem to consider a piece of writing that has been online as being “published” - and hence don’t want to buy it.  So, in order to increase my chances of getting this thing off the ground, I must refrain.

I’d better get back to my writing while I still have this inspired feeling. And before the milk I’m drinking puts me to sleep. — Mrs. Hall
