  1. Shopping. Like, serious retail therapy. LUSH bath bombs, incense and candles from Mystic Dream, a new coffee mug to add to my collection of mugs with "M" on them . . . Hadn't had a shopping day like that in ages, and it felt really good.
  2. Nice lunch out with the family, too.
  3. Still managed to get my writing done.

  1. My daughter is getting the hang of trotting on a horse. It's so wonderful to watch her become more confident and proficient.
  2. Fun lunch out with the kids.
  3. Not too hot for a nice walk with the kids, too.

  1. My daughter's horseback riding lesson was cancelled. Of course she was disappointed, but it actually made my day much easier. (And the lesson got rescheduled for tomorrow, so it's all good.)
  2. Writing group. Only three of us there, but it was fun, as always.
  3. Not as insanely hot? It's saying something when 94°F feels "cool," but after the past few days, it really did!

  1. Really nice review of my audiobook.
  2. My original television pilot script made the first cut in the CWAs.
