I’ve got tomatoes! Yes, the pots of vegetables I planted out on my patio are beginning to actually yield something edible! So far the harvest has included a bunch of basil and two tomatoes, but since I have a habit of killing most things I plant - this a major feat for me!

A Playstation 3 that actually works! Wowza, it only took three return trips to Sony to get a playstation that works the way my son had hoped on Christmas morning. Maybe I shouldn’t jinx anything, but so far so good. I guess it’s true - 3rd times the charm.

I didn’t win at the casino? Sad, but true. Hubby and I did have a really nice two-day getaway alone and that was well worth the trip, but a girl can still hope the slot machines will pay out right? In all fairness to Foxwoods, I did enjoy myself at their expense for hours! They gave me a ticket for $30 in slot play since it had been three years (I couldn’t believe that!) since I’d graced their fine establishment. Hubby picked out the slot machine, I inserted my ticket and played on that machine for the 3.5 hours without putting a cent of my own money in - and walked away $130 richer for my time! I proceeded to lose that plus a bunch of our own the next day at Mohegan Sun. Oh well. The price of fun.

Writing, writing, everyday!While I might fall short some days of my 1000 word goal, I am making writing progress on my WIP every single day. Not an easy task with the kids home from school for the summer, but I’m proving it can be done with a little focus and maybe a bribe or two to “leave Mom alone just a little bit longer!” I expect my edits for my upcoming December release “Her Knight Before Christmas” anyday - we’ll see how that goes.

Got anything noteworthy this week? Don’t be shy - play along!
