Congrats! Don’t forget to email me at mayaATmayabanks.com with your snail mail addy by early Monday morning or your book finds another home.

Shhhhh contest!

*whispering* ok so I’m giving away copies of Sweet Persuasion over at Writeminded today. I’ve also given away copies on Twitter. SO I thought I’d give away a copy or two over here but I’ll keep it quiet as sort of an easter egg for those who actually come over here every once in awhile :kissing:

Soooo leave me a comment. Tell me you’d like the book. I’ll leave it open for a couple of days. I’ll announce by this weekend and then you’ll have until Monday morning to claim your book, otherwise sorry! Your book will go to another home. I have a huge mailing I’ve got to get done before we leave for Scotland.

Hope everyone is having a good hump day! (Is it Wed already?? :huh:)

Back home

We flew in yesterday afternoon, ate dinner in Houston then drove home. I was exhausted but couldn’t sleep. Go figure. So I read in bed for several hours before passing out. I woke up with the headache from hell and so far nothings kicking it. :crying:

Disney was…exhausting. To be honest, it’s not really my type of vacation. There’s the whole crowd thing. I’m not much of a people person. My idea of heaven is a nice quiet beautiful place where I’m not bumping into people at every turn. Give me mountains, some camping, fishing!, a not crowded beach, a cabin in BF anywhere where there’s nothing for miles. Ahhh. Wonderful stuff!

I feel guilty saying that, like I’m some sort of freak for not adoring Disney World, but there you have it. Anytime I’m exposed to lots of people for any prolonged period of time I sort of meltdown and need time to decompress. This happens to me at conferences too. I venture out and the constant barrage of people, conversation and having to be “social” has me fleeing back to my room for “alone” time after a few hours.

And I dunno. I was pretty appalled at just how rude people are in a place like Disney. I still shake my head. Don’t get me wrong, I met lots of really nice, polite people but the really bad behavior that was rampant just made my mouth drop. I mean are manners really that difficult a concept?

In other matters, I got some really good news while at Disney :whoo: I bought a pressie to celebrate right before we left because the only thing better than good news is good news while on vacation, yes? I’ll share as soon as humanly possible. Oh and the pressie was just the perfect multi color jade bracelet. I’ve been looking for one forever.

Now it’s back to work for me *sob*
