Rush Limbaugh rushed to hospital - even if you don't like his views, wish him the best: http://ping.fm/zAqhG

The cake is a lie. (Let's see how many people get this).

Neck spasms. Migraine. Bleah.

Vegging out today...just need a mind and brain reboot...

For the 1st time in years, Don is on call for Christmas. If you need a doctor today, thank him and his family for being available!

Merry Christmas and happy holidays to everyone out there in Internet-land!

Test from my phone....

Doing research on publishers for 3 books I've finished. Lots of homework.

My column is online - why I spent over 12 hours in a car last week: http://ping.fm/hH6BZ

Taking a deep breath before unburying corner of my desk...oooh, bright shiny...

Just saw Avatar. Excellent!

Spending good part of day napping - yesterday more draining than I thought.

Heading to Valdosta, GA to meet up with James and his buddy. James will then drive us back home (central FL). Long day.

Just a question as I ponder my column for Sunday - what does Christmas mean to you?

Very stressed. Need takeout, a hot fudge sundae, and a game that will let me blow stuff up!

My appointment was 4:15. It's now 5:18. I understand why, but doesn't mean I like it.

Dwarven boat captain stomped into my wip and belllowed, "I'm in this story, girl!" Not going to argue....

Trying to tell hubby that a router upgrade isn't an industry scheme to get more $ from him. It's not, right?

My column is online - how Don and I spent last weekend: http://ping.fm/OGpBh

Got you, daily wordcount! You thought you escaped my tapping fingers, but you're written and saved. So there!

Ever have one of those days you didn't feel like doing much of anything?

Hmm...I think I left my phone charger in Don's car by mistake.

Argh...must get fingers on keys and start typing writing stuff...

Local Fye store going out of business. Picked up Bones Season 4 DVDs for under $50. Sorry about closing, happy about deal.

Traffic jam at the bank's drivethru...

Lost season 5 now streaming on Netflix! *happy dance*

Slept way longer than intended - price of travel. Knocked out first words of day, now taking a break before running errands.

Hi Florida! We're back, did you miss us?

Mrs. Fields' chewy chocolate fudge cookies - effective mood elevator.

Note to self: Nashville airport does not have free. Wifi. Definitely need a mood elevator....

On way to Nashville airport after great visit with kids.

My column is online. Some thoughts on compassion:

Fun day. Don and I played pool with James and his friend Laura for a bit. Now Don and I headed back to John and Amanda's.

Attending the FHU Advisory Board Benefit Dinner with Don Gov. Mike Huckabee scheduled to speak later tonight.

Mystified at why email suddenly won't send. College IT guys on phone were hysterical, though.

1,449 words in 1.4 hours. Not bad.

Watching Firefly with John and Amanda. James back at dorm. I'm happy after hugging all three.

Just passed a great sign: "God sent you a text - read it."

Good news: landed safely in Nashville. Bad news: it's 38 degrees here! Hope bag with jacket got here too.....

Dear world: I am very tired and very cranky. You have been warned.

Sitting on plane in Charlotte, waiting for a gate to clear out.....

Ha! Even sleepy I operate the check-in kiosk faster than Don.

On way to Tampa airport. Good thing Don is driving because I've had almost no sleep due to getting ready for trip.

Trying to finish up stuff before leaving tomorrow to visit sons in TN. Pre-trip panic is engaged...
