I always have issues with shoes rubbing the back of my feet. I love thiese socks because they are a shorter cut but the tab on the back keeps them right where they are supposed to be and protect my feet from nasty blisters. I wear them whenever I am running. I own a couple pairs in every color available yet and they have been through the wash countless times but are still in great shape, a testament to the Lucy quality. Use caution when wearing in the cold though. I ran a race in below freezing weather with these socks and ventilated shoes and my toes froze. The next year I bought the Lucy wool athletic socks and got to tease my brother when he complained about his cold toes.

Welcome 2012!

Today is the first day of the New Year and while it really isn't much different than yesterday (it is almost noon and again I am still in my pajamas), I am among the mass mind set that it is the day for new beginnings. I know from prior experience that the gyms are crowded right now and that stores are stocking the shelves with home organization products (that reminds me, the Elfa sale at The Container Store should be starting soon). Which brings me to my not quite so new beginning. While I've always enjoyed writing, it wasn't until almost three years ago that I started writing my first novel. I've since finished it (and I use finish loosely because it is always evolving and I imagine will continue to do so until the day it is finally published) and started working on a second and third with more ideas in mind. Well this is the year that I step things up and make my writing a priority. I need to spend everyday writing in some form whether it be on this blog, a ...

Fake it 'til You Make It

Well, the conference is over and this is the first chance I have had for a new post now that we are in a hotel with free wi-fi since I am such a cheapskate (at times). On Saturday I had an editor pitch and later an agent pitch. When I had signed up for the appointments back in May, I had to be quick about it so as I didn't see any publishers I was familiar with, I had to do a quick search on-line to make sure that they published my genre; contemporary/women's fiction. Fast forward to the night before my appointment and I finally do the homework on the specific editor and discovered that she was the only editor who did not cover my genre. Damn it. So on a whim I decided to pitch a book that was her genre that I had in the works. I wrote the pitch minutes before walking in. She asked me questions and I answered them best I could. She asked me what the word count was and I said 60K which was a downright lie. The truth was that it was only 30K and what I did have I had de...

Being Productive

I'm currently sitting in Starbucks with my laptop and actually using their wi-fi.  I feel like such an urbanite.  Ok maybe that's the wrong word, but I feel cool. It's barely eleven in the morning I feel like I've had such a productive morning.  Actually got up in time to get a shower and dress properly.  Both boys to school on time, always a good thing.  I did make it out of the house without my laptop knowin full well that my goal for this morning was to work on my short story.  I almost said oh well and kept going.  But then I was proud of myself and turned around to get it.  We weren't even out of the neighborhood and truth is we are alwasy early for preschool since my older son starts a half hour earlier.  So I really had no excuse to do so.  Swung by the grocery store for a couple needed items, dropped off a few things at Goodwill that were cluttering up my garage, made it to the coffee shop and yes, I did get a few mre para...
