Me & my teapot.

Spent all day cleaning my office & listening to jazz. Self portrait in mirror from floor.

Yay #NaNoWriMo! I am thinking serious writer, computer glow coffee-thoughts for all you NaNo-ers!

Everything that could go wrong en route to Boston did, but look what was waiting for me when I got home!

Had a marvelous time at the @salemlitfest opening last night! Left with a new friend thanks to @HilaryLayArt

I know I need to re-organize the shelves, but helpful bookshelf kitten is not helpful.

Having appropriate celebratory wine for actual book arrival day.

Twitter! Look what I just got in the mail!

Look what I just got in the mail! Finished UK version of The Night Circus! So pretty!

Birthday cupcakes! (In appropriate multiples of 3!)

Posted this on the blog, too, but this is the UK cover of The Night Circus:

Thank you, @doubledaypub! I would kiss all of you, but that might be weird & I'm also inconveniently located.

Most things are in the suitcase if not properly packed & kittens are staying out so far. Small victories.

Slightly overdone but counting the green tea cookies as a success anyway. Flavor is lovely.

Tessa's reached a whole new level of box addiction: color coordinating with the @Fluevog box.

Spending most of the day in the reading chair. Have company.

This is what happens when I forget to close the door to the art supply cabinet.

New glasses! The world is suddenly so crisp & clear.

Making blackberry infused vodka.

Thought it was supposed to rain, but it's a blue skies fluffy white clouds kittens in windows day.
