‘Let your dreams be your North Star.’

Happy Labor Day, everyone! It felt heavenly to sleep in a little this morning. Woke about 8:00 which is pretty late for me. Saturday woke to the clock saying 6:25 and I panicked thinking it was Friday and I was going to be late for work. By the time I got my teeth brushed and the water hot in the shower I realized it was Saturday. A little stressed lately, perhaps, Sandy?

So headed back to bed and slept until 9:30. What a treat! The mall soon beckoned with its Labor Day bargains where I bought a few necessities that were on sale for a song. Bought hubby and youngest son a few of their favorite dress shirts that were regularly priced at $44.00 on sale for $4.97. And 15% off that if you used your credit card. How fast can you say ‘charge!’

Made the trip all worth while. I ‘heart’ sales.

Had lunch with a friend where we plotted a book for her and had the best time. What is it when we always get together and can’t stop laughing and getting into things that are just downright funny. Just call us the Lucy and Ethel act. And we plotted the coolest story for an anthology for her. I am so hoping this gets published. It would be shame and a waste not to.

We finally are getting the rain we needed. A soft, constant rain not a storm or deluge. Which is great for the brown grass and dead flowers, but is ruining a lot of Labor Day plans.

I wrote two pages last night on a new story. Couldn’t help myself. Something different I have never done before. It is very rough right now and not sure where I am going with it (imagine that…me…queen of the anal plotters) but it just flowed. I know it sucks right now, but I keep Nora’s mantra a constant in my head…’You can’t fix a blank page’! And who should know better than the Queen herself.

Oh, did you hear about Steve Irwin, the crocodile hunter, being killed by a stingray? My thoughts and prayers to his family. He brought a lot to the world in a very different and interesting way and he will be missed.

Sorry to ramble. It’s just a ramble kind of day. Think I will go work on this new story and find out what it’s all about, :mrgreen:

Have a great holiday!
