Celebrate the Small Things - Potpourii Edition

Hi everyone!  How was your week?  Not so bad, here.  In fact, I have a lot of little things to celebrate, which makes for an overall great week! :)

In no particular order...

1) I finished my edits for my May release, KILLER EXPOSURE (available for pre-order now!).  My editor reviewed and approved them (yay!), so now I get one more pass over the manuscript before it goes to the presses!

2) Mister and I are going to hang out with some friends tonight.  We haven't seen them in ages, and I'm really looking forward to catching up with them.

3) I've reached the point in the semester where my students are all giving their presentations.  It's kind of nice to be able to sit back and listen for a change!

4) I'm almost done with my Christmas shopping!  I'm trying really hard to finish soon, because I just don't want to set foot in the mall during December.  Who's with me?

5) We got a the lightest dusting of snow this past weekend.  It was lovely to look at, and thankfully it melted in a matter of minutes.  My heart goes out to the people of Buffalo--there is no way I could survive that kind of weather!  I'm a Texas girl, through and through.

So that's my good stuff for the week.  What about you?  How are things in your world?

If you've been reading my blog, you know that Fridays are reserved for a post where I celebrate the little things that have happened during the week. This is a blog hop hosted by VikLit, and it's one of my favorite blogging things to do.  I encourage you to check out her blog and the full list of participants, because who doesn't love reading about good things?

Celebrate the Small Things - Better late than never edition!

Apologies to all--it's been a crazy couple of weeks, and I'm just now getting to sit down and update my sadly neglected blog.

But let's not dwell on that when we have fun things to celebrate!  I'm participating in the Readers & Ritas conference in Allen, Texas.  It's sponsored by Fresh Fiction, and I'm having a blast!  I've met so many new readers and fellow authors, and it's been a ton of fun.  This is my first year going, but I'm definitely going to make a habit of it!

I'm also celebrating getting my edits back for my May release, KILLER EXPOSURE.  I know a lot of authors dread having to do edits, but I like to think of it as a chance to make the book better, and I appreciate the fact that I have this opportunity.  My deadline is a little tight, but that just means I have to work smarter!
