Weekend Recap

It was another quiet weekend at our house. It almost had the feel of the calm before the storm. It’s finally starting to get warm enough to get out and do things. Summertime is usually a flurry of activity and I look forward to those manic times spent with family and friends. I don’t care if we’re wakeboarding, riding, having big back yard BBQ bashes (say that three times fast) or attending one of dozens of outdoor concerts as long we are busy doing something before the bitter cold drives back into the house to hibernate for the winter. The bear is awake and I’m hungry for some excitement.

We watched a few movies, worked out, made the two hour trip to Okmulgee and back… twice and listened to whole lot of music. I worked on my roof a bit, patching a few spots I thought might leak in the coming storms. I’m still a good week away from having the roofers come out and replace the entire thing.

Oh, and managed to finish the rough draft of my latest WIP. I’m just going to set on it for a couple of days then I can retrace my steps, clean it up and a few more details before sending that puppy off to my publisher. I can’t believe how quickly I managed to pump this one out. Once the story started flowing, it was like a juggernaut on a down hill slope.

It all but consumed me. Even when I wasn’t writing on the story, I was thinking about it. It got under my skin and demanded to be the center of attention. It is an odd sensation.

Well, I have a lot to catch up on this morning, so I’ll keep this short. How did you spend your weekend?
