All in all . . .

I am not impressed with this whole "tagging" thing. Hello! People!! You've been tagged. Do whatever you're supposed to do! Waste time with me. Give me something to read. I'm stuck in fricken Hawaii right now. C'mon!

My mom is still off running or climbing some mountain or something, which is why you get two posts in under five minutes. Dave is off to Japan again this morning. I am in Hawaii till tomorrow's redeye flight back to LAX and then back to SFO. I will never be so glad to see my little home office again. The last few days have been a bit exhausting. Dave's parents came home from their trip yesterday, and so we had five of us in their house, just stepping all around each other constantly. And talking story. Whoa. It's not them, really, it was me ... but shit, when you work from home, alone, and talk to people only via e-mail, a real life situation where four other people want your attention--mind you, while you are supposed to be writing fiction--is quite a challenge.

Ok, really, that is all that has been going on here. Some people show you that Hawaii is paradise, others want to show you the track marks on the arm of paradise, and I am showing you that sometimes it can be out-of-your-fricken-mind booorrrriiiiinnnnnggg. This is probably because I didn't have time to see any friends and was trying to do work the whole time, and even that was unsuccessful.

SIGH.
