Instead of finishing up some product descriptions...

I made a crystal ring while watching Idol Gives Back (ANTM was a clip show, grr). I did this after having Liz and Jenna over for dinner (my pizza never disappoints).

Instead of writing pitch letters...

I had a long convo with my best friend Alison. I had a headache though, so I was a bit frazzled during the call. D'oh.

Instead of plowing through product descriptions...

I took a walk around Greenlake with a friend, and was reminded how fabulous Seattle smells in the spring and after a rain. I dropped my favorite hand-knitted hat, so we backtracked on the trail and found it hanging from a tree branch. I love this city.

Instead of writing pitch letters...

I met my new best friend, PR whiz Carilyn Platt of Magnolia Public Relations & Communications, for coffee and brainstorming.

Instead of sleep...

I met up a high school friend (and college roommate) for coffee and convo. Back to Seattle today.

Instead of working on a quote for a client...

I went along with a friend who was looking at wedding dresses. It was surprisingly fun.

Instead of working on an SEO article...

I babysat myself into a doozy of a headache.

Instead of writing...

I helped out by babysitting for a friend who was delivering her second baby. Molly Rose, 8 pounds, 10 ounces.

Instead of writing my memoir proposal...

I helped babysit for a friend, who is delivering her second baby tomorrow.

Instead of working on some freelance web writing...

I swapped dysfunctional family stories with my pal Stacya.
