No Place Like Home
So, I'm home from the retreat. Actually, I did all my stuff that we're doing today last night during the movie, and decided not to go back today. I slept till 8:15! The sun is out, it is beautiful, and I have so much house stuff and taxes to do, and I have an incredible headache. I think it's because I haven't had caffeine since yesterday morning! They bought a 12 pack of Diet Coke, and at least 6 of us were drinking it. Last time I drank nearly a whole 12 pack by myself!
My story, which I didn't have a very good handle on, changed significantly. We worked on it almost 2 hours. We started by changing my heroine into a hunter a la Buffy, but with different abilities, but I didn't really want a paranormal heroine. So we changed it to a witch story instead of a vampire story, but I'm not sure how I feel about that, either. Good thing I'm setting it aside to finish Ghost Hunters and Breaking Daylight.
What did you do this weekend?

Cleaned and planned. That's it. Sounds like you had a great retreat!
Yes, but I bet you feel prepared for the week, Mary Beth!
