I have been in a right bloody sulk for two days. All the cool kids are at Nationals and I'm home amusing my children.Today I took them to a petting zoo.
I'm feeding goats while Leah is meeting JR WARD!!!!!
Last night I sat in front of my computer, too sulky to write.
There was nothing good on television, my hubby took my son to see a FIFA U-20 soccer game and I sat home and called my mother. She usually makes me feel better.
To know me is to know I'm not a pouty sulky kinda gal, but just knowing that Robin is signing her books, Red is lunching with ECers, Maureen's gearing up for her Golden Heart Award (it's a sure thing, right?), and so many of my writer friends/acquaintances are rubbing shoulders with the likes of Nora Roberts, Kelley Armstrong, JR Ward...
Kinda bitter. But hey -- only 383 days until the 2008 conference.

I keep saying that to myself too. I can't wait to go, because I'M GOING, no ifs ands or buts!!!
We should go together, get a whole posse of us going.
I'm hoping to go to San Francisco too! But this year, I'm home with the kids too--we went to the zoo. Great minds, huh?
LOL Alyssa! Nothing like communing with animals to keep the little ones happy. And hey, it's not meeting JR Ward, but I did have a llama eating out of my hands. Literally.
Amy - Done. And we'll insist on a bunch of adjoining rooms so we can party like it's 2008.
What is/are Nationals?
I'm going to 2008. My husband and I have already talked about it and have agreed that we'll save the money so I can go. I know a lot of people from the NS chapter are planning on hitting it as well.
One major party ladies.
But I find the blogsphere very quite. I keep checking blogs but there are no posts. :(
I'm hoping a lot of bloggers brought cameras and will post their pictures so we can share in all the madness.
eh, I woulda picked teh soccer game, well unless Canada was playing, they suck in soccer ;)
Sparky - I have to agree. But now that soccer is so so so popular with kids (fastest growing sport I believe) perhaps in a couple of years we'll get better. The game hubby and son saw was a quarter-final (maybe semi-final??) USA against Uraguay. USA won.
Christine. See you there!
Nicholas - Nationals refers to the Romance Writers of America's national convention. The RWA is 9,500 members strong - it's the largest writers organization in the world -- so Nationals is HUGE. Writers, agents, publishers, all in one place.
I'm still here in TN, a-sweating and a-sweating. Well, at least I'm getting ready to start sweating -- been running errands today.
The conference does sound like a lot of fun! And potentially very productive, too, in getting to hobnob with agents, publishers, and such folk. :)
