Monday appeal
Written by Anne Mallory in Jaunty PostThe Monday after Thanksgiving weekend, ooh, baby. Is there anything longer than the full work week following a long weekend? Feels like Friday is an awfully long way off. But just think, it gives you more time to get or finish whatever it is that needs getting or finishing. Change your oil? Buy more gifts? Call a long lost friend? Knit a sweater? Hire someone to shovel snow? Extra days to do it, my friend. And you can even do it with Christmas tunes playing in the background, because just like wearing white after Memorial Day, Christmas tunes are back in!
How was everyone’s weekend? My work/play tally was pretty good. Went hiking on Turkey Day (post-yummy-Turkey consumption), played hermit on Friday (decided against leaving the house), bought a few gifts and went to the Stanford/Notre Dame football game on Saturday (Watching the game, fun! Parking, boo!) and basically kicked back for much of the in between. Got a lot of writing done, replotted a major section (most excellent, precioussss) and made a few jewelry pieces on Sunday (Mom, stop trying to figure out what you are getting!). All in all, a very pleasant weekend. I hope to hear everyone else had a nice (and healthy) holiday as well.
It’s Monday, yes. But it’s Monday with holiday cheer.

Happy Monday Ladies,
I didn’t really do much this weekend after Thanksgiving just cleaning around the house and thinking of my holiday gift list. I actually won’t shop until Wednesday because I want to avoid the crowds. Some of my friends are not returning to work until tomorrow meaning they had a five-day weekend! Anyhoo, I will go back to the gym this evening, but before then I need to write emails to friends, call the vet for appt for the cat and do laundry. Oh well I’d better get started.
Have a great day ladies!

Is there anything harder than sitting down to write a new chapter the Monday after the holidays? I feel like I need a whole day to get ready to work.

My weekend was GREAT! I am all settled in with my new Garth Brooks music and a plate full of leftovers. Good news for me! I’m going on vacation this week!
But next week will be a long one.
Haven Rich Says:
Hmm I’ve slept through most of the weekend hehe. It was good I suppose…the dreams were anyhow.
Now I’m having a different type of Monday than you are..it seems short, which makes the week seem short as well.
Have a safe week and if you figure out how to work off those Thanksgiving pounds without doing actual work let me know hehehe

I had the perfect weekend! I spent most of my time catching up with my reading, watching movies on the Hallmark Channel, and checking out new television shows I haven’t had a chance to see before. (Why didn’t I ever realize just how cute actor David Conrad is? Mental note to self: Watch Ghost Whisperer more often)
And to make my joy complete, I got my revision letter from my editor for Sins of Midnight yesterday. A ONE PAGE revision letter! For the non-writers out there, an author’s worst nightmare is a ten page revision letter, so I’m singing hallelujahs right about now.
Anne Mallory Says:
Go, Kim on the one page revision letter!
Glad to hear everyone’s weekend was enjoyable and relaxing.
Haven, will let you know if I ever figure that out. That’s like a secret of the Universe.

Um, excuse me, Anne. Did I miss an announcement about your April cover? Wow, they did a beautiful job. Must not keep such secrets…
