Celebrate the Small Things - Potpourri edition


Time to Celebrate the Small Things!  Sign up at VikLit's blog to join this great hop!

Lots of things to be happy about this week, so I'm just going to make a list:

-I read book 1 in the Dresden Files by Jim Butcher.  Why did I wait so long to read these books?  I'm about halfway through book 2, and I already have book 3 ready to go!

-I sent off book 2 to my agent, along with the synopsis and sample chapters for book 3.  Cross your fingers for me!

-I had a lovely lunch with some fellow RWA chapter members.  Good food and good company make for a nice time!

-It's the weekend!

What are you celebrating this week?

      Thanks, Deb! I'm glad I found the series so late, because now I can glom all of the books available, which will hopefully keep me occupied during the wait for the next one! :)

    Congrats on sending the book to your agent. Can't you just kick yourself when you find that you should have read a book forever ago?

    Congrats on being so productive in your reading! I am so woefully behind on my reading list it's just despicable!

    And an extra large helping of congrats for sending your book off to your publisher- that's fantastic!

    And yay for lunch. I can't remember the last time I had a nice lunch with friends- sounds lovely.

      Thanks, Bev! I'm still waaaay behind on my reading too, but that's okay. I use books as part of my decorating scheme (at least, that's my story, and I'm sticking to it!), so I don't mind having such a huge TBR pile. Hope you get to have lunch with your friends soon!

      I was sorry to miss it--I was in the ER with friend on Tuesday and Wednesday, so blogging kind of took a back seat...

    Great reasons to celebrate! I'm taking Friday and Monday off work so this week seems exciting already!
