If the dust and dog hair get too thick, then I have to break down and clean. Otherwise, I just vaccuum occasionally and let it go.

I grew up hearing from my family how clumsy I was, all said in jest of course. So I never danced. One of the reasons I love my husband is he looked at me and said, "Of course you can dance." He was correct. All I needed was the right partner. Oh, and good for you for dancing, Kate! I grew up hearing from my family how clumsy I was, all said in jest of course. So I never danced.

Don't you want to perch yourself outside your beta readers' doors and say "Well? Well?"[g] I finally had to give them deadlines so that they and I could have some peace of mind. Even so, my very best friend who also happens to be a copy editor asked me for an additional two weeks!!! What am I going to say, "NO! You have to drop everything and read it right now!"? I'm glad you feel my pain.[g] Kate–Ha! Don’t you want to perch yourself outside your beta readers’ doors and say “Well?

A lot. No one was home but the cat, who received some celebratory catnip...I can't wait until the next one! I don't have a desk, so I didn't clear it off. It would be kind of nice to find space for one... Darlene, I have beta readers reading too. Why does it take them so long?? It's almost as though they have...lives...or something :) I danced. A lot.
