WOW! I can’t believe that it’s already November 2009. Where did the summer go? I also realized that I haven’t updated the 02.10.2010 Club on my journey toward the BIG 50 since June.
Looking back over the things I did, there was at least one activity that was new for me each month from July – October.
July 10 – had a long lunch with a new speaker friend at a wonderful Chinese restaurant. When I returned home in the late afternoon, I found that my A/C wasn’t working properly.
Here in Texas we were in the middle of multiple days of 100+ degree weather. I immediately called the property manager, however, with it being late on a Friday afternoon, I knew my chances of getting immediate help were slim to none. Next, I contacted a couple of friends who might offer a cool place to stay. Nadda…I learned I had “fair weather” friends not scorching weather friends. So…what is a girl to do? What any Texan pioneer woman would do…I spent the night sleeping outside under the Texas stars.
The next morning the A/C repairman was out bright and early and within a couple of minutes had solved and fixed the problem. The poor mouse that ran across the electrical thingys outside was fried and gone to the great cheese house in the sky.
August 10 – actually spent the afternoon and evening of August 9 at Lake Granbury with the Singles Group from First Baptist Church, Grapevine, TX having a wonderful day of boat riding, skiing, eating, and just fun fellowship.
September 10 – kicked off the North Texas Christian Writers Conference with the Faculty dinner at El Paseo in Keller, TX. This was my first year to be a presenter at this great conference. My topic was, “Is Your Web Site Working For You…or Against You?” I highly recommend this writers conference to anyone who is interested in taking your writing career to the next level. Mark your calendars for next year’s conference on September 17-18, 2010.
October 10 – drove up to Denton, TX to catch a few minutes of a writers workshop lead by Jodi Thomas. She’s a New York Times Bestselling author, three time RITA award winner, and has been inducted into the Romance Writers Hall of Fame. After the workshop, we had lunch together at an English pub in downtown Denton. I’m currently enjoying reading her novel, Twisted Creek.
November 10 – ??? There’s nothing on my calendar…yet. Stay tuned…you just never know what will happen next
