Preparations

It's hard to believe that it's already May. On Wednesday, I am going to Phoenix, Arizona for a book signing for Charlaine Harris. I'm looking forward to it. I'll pick up her new book, Dead As a Doornail, and will have her sign the other books as well.

As much as I am looking forward to meeting Charlaine Harris, I'm also excited about leaving town. I'll be back Thursday afternoon (and back at work on Friday), so it's not a long trip by any definition. It will be nice, though, just to get away from work, my house, and everything else.

In other news, I'm the proud owner of a digital camera, a Fugi FinePix with 5.2 megapixels. I talked to my dad yesterday and he helped me settle on one. I will be playing with it in the next few days; hopefully I'll be a pro by Wednesday.

I startled myself earlier today when I looked in the mirror. My hair is too gray for a book signing. LOL! So I'm getting it cut and colored Wednesday morning at 7:30, an hour that's really too early to be breathing, let alone getting my hair done. I love my mother, but I wish I hadn't inherited her graying hair. Oh well.

It won't take long to pack for a two-day trip, so I imagine I will post again before I leave. If not, though, I'll check back in on Thursday or Friday.
