2010-03-09: they call kids like us vicious and carved out of stone, originally uploaded by octette_stars.

i spent a lot of time staring at my own eyes in the mirror today. i mean, okay, i spent like ten minutes, but considering how rarely i do it, that seems like a lot of time.

today i leave to spend a few days in manhattan — first with diana, then with val and drew. and, of course, i am bringing my laptop so i can work the whole time, because i am on deadline for three manuscripts. but i am the expert at editing while watching criminal minds.

(i’m also bringing my knitting! even though i am not quite finished with either of the two surprise gift projects i’m working on, i’m bringing my sweater — i don’t want to be wrestling with six different balls of yarn and yarn needles and buttons and whatever. i just want to knit a lot of stockinette.)

i am also bringing a lot of food with me to diana’s — shepherd’s pie and pasta fagioli and challah bread. we’re going to eat like queens.
