So I’m still floating around that ‘contest finalist’ cloud. I keep thinking it must be a fluke, maybe the numbers got added wrong. But me? A contest finalist?
Seriously though, I’m so excited. And then a little bummed, because I can’t be at Nationals when we find out who won. *Sigh* Maybe next year I’ll be able to afford to go. Ah, well, I’ll hear eventually. And seriously, I doubt I’ll win!
On a serious note, I have a fellow chaptermate involved in a fundraiser for Diabetes auctions. Here’s the links and information http://www.brendanovak.com/auction_index.php and http://www.galenorn.com/benefit.htm I’m a diabetic, and can throw my weight (and it’s a lot of weight, hee hee) behind this project! Check it out!
One thing that annoyed me, happened during the family gathering for Easter. Of course I told everyone about my contest finaling… and it was just kind of sucky. I have three brothers, so maybe it should be expected. It’s not like any of them have ever read a romance novel. But the fact that I write not just romance, but spicy romance, has led them to list my writing as porn. They even going so far as to joke that I’m ‘in fantasy land, writing stuff for Hustler.’ So yes, not the most supportive family. I mean, they’re supportive in other ways, like financially and helping out with Emma so I can stay home and try my hand at writing. But as to what I write? Well, I’m kind of the family joke. And since they occasionally read my blog….
Okay, on another obvious note, I just discovered Smiley Central! Woo whoo! It’s a lot of fun. 
I actually went to bed at 10:30 last night. Totally uncommon for me. Usually I’m up till like 1 yacking with the girls as I write and edit. Hee hee
Okay, that’s enough of absolutely nothing…
