Binge Week

For lack of a better title, that’s what this past week felt like. I’ve binged on several things this week, some good, some not so good, including:

Isis a YearAgo

Isis on April 25, 2014

Isis cuteness–of course! And throwing the ball to her, as always. To top it off, Facebook informed my husband on Saturday that it was one year ago that we brought Isis home.

We joined Costco and binged on spending money–though less than if we’d spent it elsewhere! Especially since most of what we spent was on new tires for my Camaro.

Headaches–rainy weather always brings them on for me. 🙁

Playing Clash of Clans, because it’s fun, and easier to do with a headache than write.

Tastes like the Ohio State Fair! That would be Fire and Ice Cheescake at Frisch’s. It’s a piece of frozen cheesecake rolled in crushed cornflakes, deep fried, and drizzled with honey and chocolate. It’s right up there with deep fried Snickers and Oreos. See why one piece feels like a binge? Mmmmm….

Working on my website. Nothing to show here yet, since I work on my computer before uploading new stuff, but I did spend a good bit of time working on things to add based on the marketing workshop I signed up for last month. And I disabled the anti-spam plugin, as it was still blocking people whose comments I want! So you shouldn’t have any more problems if you try to comment, but if you do, please email me!

And yes, writing. It didn’t happen until today, but I wrote over 2,000 words to finish the scene I’ve been trying to get to for a good couple of weeks.

What I read this week: I started a novel near the beginning of the week, and I’m really enjoying it, but am less than halfway through, so I’ll discuss after I finish.

ROW80Logo175ROW80 update: I finished that scene, so I’ll call it a win! This week, I have one more new scene to write, so that’s my goal. Also want to do one more thing from my marketing tasks list.

What about you–have you binged on anything lately, good or bad? If you had the time and money, what would you like to binge on? I would love more writing days like today if I had the time! Do you think the Fire and Ice Cheesecake sounds good? How are you doing on whatever goals you might have, writing or otherwise? Please share in the comments–I’d love to hear from you!

    Good job on your writing and finishing the scene. So glad when I can boast finishing my WIP. Of course, if I don’t get off the internet, that will never happen. 😛

    I binged on way too much food during the retreat I attended. When a bowl of chips is right in front of me, I don’t think about moving said bowl, I just dig in (and dig in and dig in). My jaw hurts now. 🙂 But I got several more chapters done in my re-draft.

    Wonderful accomplishments – especially with your writing. Hope the headaches ease and you complete the next scene.

    Should I say I’m glad it’s not just me doing the binging thing? That Fire and Ice Cheesecake sounds… complex. I’m not sure if cornflakes works for me on Cheesecake, and chocolate often doesn’t work quite the way it seems it should, to me.

    But it does sound intriguing.

    And you did get those words written, eventually. Go, Jennette!

    I wish I could have binged on sleep this past week, but I haven’t! That dessert at the fair sounds pretty scrumptious. I wonder who thought up that recipe! Yay for getting 2,000 words written. Bummer about the headaches. I’ve had one on the left side of my forehead off and on all day, along with an aching eye and nostril and swollen gland on left side of neck. Yes, you heard that right. A nostril ache. Yes, it hurts, but it’s funny to tell my sister (and now you) I have and aching left nostril. Probably a sinus infection. Or allergies. I hope you and I both feel better by tomorrow! 🙂

    Eden, thanks!

    Coleen, time with our college kids is always time well spent!

    Lynn, it’s a bad time of year for sinus and allergy crap, especially here in sinus valley. Hope you feel better soon!
