First off, I DON’T WANT MY VACATION TO END!!! 🙁 Thanks for listening. LOL!

Second, I forgot to mention the autograph signing yesterday! Cherry Adair and Elda Minger were at The Book End in Newark yesterday afternoon and I just had to go after reading “Take Me” by Cherry last weekend. The Book End is a lovely store of used books, LOTS of romance novels. I could pretty much live there. LOL! Cherry is a HOOT! In the short time I was in line, she made me laugh. I hadn’t heard of Elda Minger, but I picked up her book anyway (especially after learning it was set in Maui) and had her autograph it (complete with my Hawaiian name, Walelia). Last night, I settled in and read “The Fling.” It was sooo good! Of course, I’m a sucker for anything Hawaii, but the characters had humor to go along with their sexiness. 😉 Twas definitely a good read. I’m going to have to check out Elda’s other books. Too bad I can’t find a contact email addy for her. I’d really like to tell her how much I loved her book!

Third, I DON’T WANT TO GO BACK TO WORK! Alas! But hey, I get to show off my picture with Mark Mulder and I get to say, “I was at the 20th straight win!” Or something along those lines. 😀

Fourth, I’m working on my story. I keep jumping from different scenes, but I’m working on it! I should probably just settle down and do one scene complete, but I can’t do it. Gads.

Fifth, why haven’t my friends replied to my emails? I wonder if my email is tweaking? Or maybe they just haven’t gotten online. I’m bummed ’cause I never saw them online during my vacation and I still haven’t heard what they think of my picture with Mark. (Oh look, I did it again! I said “Mark” instead of “Mulder.” Such progress. LOL!)

A’s win over the Minnesota Twins, 2-0. Mark Mulder pitched a GEM! Gotta love those A’s! 😀

Hmm, a cloudy day. How very nice. Maybe I can wear a sweater today! 😀

Last night I was going through some of my files. Unfinished story outlines, fragmented scenes. Alas, will I ever finish one of my stories? Right now, the baseball story keeps willing itself to be written, but when I’m in front of my computer, I think of ten other things to do instead of work on it. Ye gods! I need a trigger!

This time last week, I already had my picture taken with Mark Mulder. And he pitches tonight! Go Mark!!! 😀

If, no WHEN I finish my baseball story, I’ll have to add my Oakland A’s to the dedication. Especially Mulder and Zito. 😉

A’s fall to the Minnesota Twins, 0-6. 🙁 I know, it was bound to happen. Hey, at least I can say I was at the historic game winner, eh? 😛 But really, now the A’s can concentrate on winning the division, getting into the playoffs, and taking it all the way! 😀

XXX rocked! Vin Diesel, yums! And Marton Csokas, even better! 😉

We watched the movie at my old theatre, Festival Cinemas. Festival is now the only theatre in Hayward. Ye gods! We just noticed that the UA is closed. Nothing on the marquee and nothing inside. Was it just a month or so ago that we saw SUM OF ALL FEARS? Just crazy!

I think we’re finally going to see a movie today. XXX. Yeah, Marton! Oh, and that Vin Diesel guy. LOL!

I still haven’t heard from my friends! I emailed them and I haven’t gotten anything back yet. I hope my emails got through. I just want to know what they think of my picture with Mark! (Oh neat, I said “Mark” instead of “Mulder.” LOL!) Doesn’t anyone care? “Patience,” I hear the Yoda voice say. “Patience.”

And I keep wondering, will I ever get sick of the picture? Nah! He’s too cute! LOL!
