Saturday night I went to Books, Inc at the invitation of the wonderfully enthusiastic
Even more interesting was my husband’s reaction. (It was thanks to him driving me into the city that I even got to hear Chris because I don’t drive in San Francisco.) When we got in the car to go home and were discussing some things that had been said, my husband said, “You know that part when . . .” And it was the very part where I had had the intense reaction. He went on to say,”When Chris was talking about that, all I could think of was you and Frankie and how you have to do that for him.” Whoa! My husband isn’t a writer and isn’t one prone to the touchy-feely stuff that drives much of my life. He listens to me talk about my books (and is very proud of me) but he reads fantasy and science fiction and prefers logical you can see to the emotions that you can only feel. So I was really surprised to hear such a thing from him.
The rest of the weekend was spent working on the office (yes, still). The new bookcases are up and all the YA books have been moved there and alphabetized. The remaining 12 shelves of MG books had to be completely reorganized too. The curtains I bought are too long so I need to take them in to be altered. (There was a time, when I was MUCH younger, I would have done it myself but not anymore.) The room is shaping up nicely though.
Writing update: I know how Frankie got his nickname and I’m pretty sure I know what happened to his sister. I don’t know the whys behind many of the things in this story but I am just going forward with the idea that they will, eventually, reveal themselves to me.
Your hubby sounds so good for you, Susan :o)
And you got to meet moniquemadigan? Cool.
Hugs.
Hubby is VERY good for me. I am spoiled and I know it and am very grateful. And yup, got to meet moniquemadigan – very cool.
*preens*
congrats
on fun night and office progress!
Re: congrats
Thanks. More office progress last night. Where DOES all this stuff come from? I think the gremlins take stuff from other offices and bring it into mine when I am sleeping.
Sounds like a great night out — and hooray for your hubby. Supportive partners are the best!
“Supportive partners are the best!”
Aren’t they though?
