Starbucks Here, There & MMMM Goes Nowhere

Hi ho, MMMLOGerinos!

Weather: It's a topless Red Therapy day--now that the sun is out. Started out very cool and overcast. Typical Seattle June day.

Starbucks Here, There and MMMM Got Nowhere!
I was to meet my friend Mary Lee at the Newcastle Starbucks this morning. I left the house about twenty minutes early because it's a less than three mile trip. I rounded the corner onto Coal Creek Parkway and joined the line of cars that crept along for the next thirty minutes, arriving at Starbucks fifteen minutes late. Grrrrr. I ordered my XH/Soy/NW/HC and waited, finally leaving just before nine o'clock. Mary Lee and I have emailed--and yes, I got the right Starbucks, but she'd arrived fifteen minutes early and left after thirty minutes--just as I was arriving, no doubt. Now, you're probably thinking, don't those two have cell phones? Uh, yeah, but you gotta have the number . . .and we didn't. Argh.

New Article Up Now
My new article GHOST BOOKS UNDER THE BED & OTHER UNDEAD ENERGY STEALERS is now published in the FF&P Out of This World Newsletter. You can read the new article here and discover how to protect and increase your creative energy.

A New Market for Paranormal Romance
Harlequin Blaze is beginning a line of themed mini-series. The existing
line, Wrong Bed, will be moved to Blaze and they are looking for Gothic
stories, paranormal elements, erotic thrillers or mysteries. Authors should
feel free to be innovative. Stories should be urban, but can be light and
playful or gritty. Remember that new project I MMMLOGed about? I'm thinking it's just right for this new opportunity.

Designer Dreams
MMMMMM is sending the son of MMMMMM her entire family room, well, the furniture, anyway, as well as the contents of his former bedroom. Now that I'll have two empty rooms again, I've contacted the best designer in the Puget Sound this a.m. Haven't done so since we "finished up" the house about a year ago. Now, she'll come back, see how things have drifted, gone wonky and get my space all serene and poppingly beautiful again. She says now is the time to shop for furniture, adding that the housing market may be skipping right along, but the furniture market has slooooowed. I'll let you know how it goes.

Ciao, ciao, MMMMMMMMMMMMelinda
