A crazy mixed up head banging latte writing DIY kinda week

Didja miss me?!? :)

I've been a good little junker later and have adopted a schedule of sorts. I've been writing and DIYing in between all the crazy that's been going on in my sign shop.

I'm still attempting to learn how to play with Windows 7 on a new Mac alongside new software AND new equipment. (my old system failed from a power surge) So I head bang with this temporary jury rigged setup by day...

(gotta love that DIY cutter stand to the left... I like it better than the fancy stand it came with!)

And then I've earned some DIY time. I'm revamping a room for a special feature that's coming soon so I have a deadline!

Wait! Make that two! Two rooms, two features. Nothing going on here....

And then... my writing.

I've taken the writing thang to a new level. When I'm at home, I work on my old signs ebook. Like tonight. I'm using Mac's Pages. The text is all done and tonight I started adding pretty elements. Yay!

And when my son is at cadets twice a week, I sit in a coffee house and write for my bookbook on the laptop.

I haven't signed the book contract. But whether I do or not, I'm writing this thing regardless when time permits. Because one day that junk book WILL be out there for all to page through! I hope. :)

How I wish I could show you the pics I took at the coffee shop last night! What's up with this new tethering issue my iPhone is dictating to me? It won't let me load pics. Next time I bring the real camera.

I sat on a red leather chair with an awesome latte by my side, in front of a fireplace and zoomed through 1500 words. I'm on chapter two! I love writing like that away from home and all distractions.

Wait... I have an idea...

How lame. :)

Not quite my usual beauty shots, however just know, that chair was awesome to sit in for 2.5 hours, the table was the perfect height and that latte was poured piping hot into a monster glass cup. I really enjoy those moments! More on that soon. That event deserves a post all it's own.

I received some very fun things in the mail from bloggers too (squeal!) so I can't wait to show and tell!

I'm also getting my current blog looked at. I realize it's running really slow so know I've summoned for help. As well as attempting to get a shiny new one going too.

And wow... you totally blew me away with that last post. Thank-you so much for your thoughtful replies! If you'd like to chat it up, please oh please feel free to join the Facebook page. It's so easy to chat back and forth quick like over yonder.

So dear friends, if I owe you an email, giveaway event, money (whoops! hope not) or whatever, stay with me... I'll be your way shortly!

Thank-you for your patience in waiting for me to get all my ducks in a row. I'm working fast and furious so we can get this show on the road once and for all. :)  Fun reveals ahead!
