- Even though I promised myself only one trip to Tim Hortons this week for breakfast, I went yesterday and today. I felt as if I deserved it since yesterday I left my coffee in the car all day. That means yesterday doesn’t count.
- I took a long nap at work yesterday. Usually if I’m tired, I’ll put my head down on my desk at lunch and sleep for 15-20 minutes. This time I slept for 45 minutes. Whoops. Oh well. It’s not like anyone missed me.
- Apparently what is more stressful than taking the GRE is waiting for your GRE scores to get to your school of choice. I paid an extra $20 yesterday to send a second report just in case. That’s how paranoid I am about this.
- I’m having dinner with Mom tonight. As much as I like seeing her, I dread hearing about how she’s worried about me because I “don’t seem happy.” Telling her that not only do I not seem happy, but that I am not happy doesn’t seem to help.
- In order to fill my time while I’m in purgatory at work, I’ve started a few new obsessions in addition to Twitter and Facebook. Now I’m tracking Goodreads quite carefully and I’ve restarted my political blog. Yet, I’m still bored. Go figure. (If you want to be my friend in any of these places, please come join me!)
- I have received a couple more requests from agents wanting to read my manuscript, which has been uplifting. One even knew my blog. To say that made me happy would be an understatement.
Now, what’s on your mind?

Hey, at least you’re doing things. I can’t even bring myself to update my existing blog. Sometimes, on my drive to work, I’ll mentally compose what I think is a great blog entry but then forget what it was the minute I step foot in the office.
I love Goodreads! Though I haven’t updated in a very long time.
Good luck with the GRE!
I wish I could take a nap at lunch time! (or anytime really…) I don’t ever get a proper break at work, since I’m always looking after the kids.
Good luck with the GRE.
Your GRE scores will get there. It takes forever. I know someone, we’ll call her… Blaine… who has worked for both test prep companies and for the IT department of different universities. Some schools are just ridiculously old school and only run the programs to accept electronic scores like once a month, because back in 1992 the process took two days or something and computers clearly haven’t advanced since then. Other schools probably still employ little old ladies to enter the scores by hand. It’s kind of ridiculous.
So excited to hear that there’s interest in your book!
I think most mothers are skeptical to their daughter’s happiness. Don’t know why. Anyway, how come you’re not happy? Agents are interested in your manuscript!
Awesome news about the novel. I’m so rooting for you over here.
So happy to hear you’ve got more agents interested. It’s awesome that one knew of your blog too. Very cool! I’m on Goodreads as well. I’ll add you over there, as long as you promise not to make fun of the brain candy novels I read. lol
I’m following you on twitter now!
That’s such good news to hear about the agents! My own mind has been swamped with a career move and changing states. See my latest post for details!
Yay people are interested in your book!
Good things come to those who wait…
Requests to read your manuscript? Yay!! Best of luck!
I’ve debated a nap at work all day. But working in a newsroom – thus not having my own office – makes that tough. Instead, I have a GIANT soda to keep me awake a few more hours.
Yeah, the nap thing kind of necessitates having your own office with a door.
I saw that….and am very excited for you!
I will not make fun of your reading. I only do that once I’ve known you for awhile.
I’m happy about the agents and whatnot (well, sometimes…I hate the waiting…and I’ve gotten PLENTY of rejections). But everything else in my life is in a holding pattern. It makes daily living difficult.
This is VERY interesting and VERY good to know.
Just added you on Goodreads! Is it pathetic that the only updating I do happens when the library sends me my overdue notices via email? Yeah…
I love Goodreads. It’s a wonderful procrastination tool.
