12 of 12 for August 2008

Don't know what 12 of 12 is? Visit Chad Darnell for all the info.

7:21am: I'm still trying to shake off the horrific dream I had. I woke up in screams at 2am, just desperate and terrified. Horrible, indescribable dream. Spent HOURS troubled by this dream. Bleh.



9:04am: Working out with my trainer on Wii Fit boxing. Archie is not my trainer. He's my lump of encouragement.



9:58am: A kiss goodbye from Keith as he heads out to run a few errands and read a script I've been sent (a Nicholls finalist!) to possibly cast.



10:15am: My computer clock says 10:14am. Camera clock says 10:16am. We'll split the difference and call it quarter-past. ;) Twitter. I love this place.



10:56am: More edits on SMFA (3rd edition), which appears to be about 424 pages now. I think we'll go with that, rather than trying to get down to the original goal of 368 by printer deadline.



2:01pm: I've turned three chapters over to my proofers and am starting in on one more to get even farther ahead for the day. Archie is a very big help. (The huge stack of papers at the far end of the sofa = feedback from proofers. They rule.)



4:41pm: Uploading the fourth and final chapter of the day to the proofer patrol and updating the proofer assignment list to reflect what's in their hands (green) and what they've gotten back to me (purple).



5:22pm: Julie is on her way, so it's time to put on a little makeup, makeup. ;)



6:15pm: Ahh... there's my girl Rachael and a bucket of happy. Yeah!



6:48pm: Huge benefit to being regulars. We get told about "off-menu items" that aren't even the special of the day... but they'll make 'em. Julie and I both got the Santa Barbara Enchiladas (chicken and shrimp). Sooooooo good.



7:58pm: When Julie refused to let me pay even a little bit, she said it was b/c this was my birthday celebration (a month and a day late--but I'll take b'day celebrations ANYTIME). So, that means I need a birthday card. This is the card. ;) Julie even sang! I love that girl.



8:46pm: What night would be complete without a bottle of champagne and a fiercely competitive few hours of Wii? That Julie is FOR REAL!

It remains a good life, here. Hope yours is too. :)

Thanks, Chad, for another wonderful 12 of 12 experience. Always good fun!! :) Kiss, kiss!

Super super boring way:

Better eating and exercise. Consistently.

I know it'd be more exciting if it were something really WOW (and if it had happened faster), but it's really just the very simple truth: eat better stuff, move more... and do both consistently for a LONG stretch of time.

That it. Boring. But it works! :)

XO
