OMGTIRED- but in *such* a good way
Mar. 25th, 2007 08:16 amThis past work week was...let's just say, fraught. Fraught with a ton of stuff I'd rather not even begin to think about.
In any case, I had to cancel my planned weekend trip, which totally sucked.
Friday night, when I got home after another insane day, I pulled out my very last wild hair and said, "Hair, you've been poking at me *all* day. As much as my body wants to just sleep, I think you are right. I must obey."
So I e-mailed![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
beledibabe and confirmed that she and B were indeed attending the Virginia Festival of the Book's Crime Wave event the next day. She called me back right away and squeed. Hee!
On Saturday a.m., I dragged my sorry carcass out of bed around 4:00 a.m. so I could be atbeledibabe's house by 6.
We had a frabjous day!
Got there early, so we started off at the Mudhouse (a local coffee shop) and ran into Laura Lippman, Elaine Viets and Marcia Talley, all friends and fellow authors.
On our way through the Omni hotel to get to the first panel, we ran into Donna Andrews, a great buddy Ann Theis, (a librarian who runs the Overbooked site, a resource for readers) and Ann's hubby and SIL.
At the historical panel, I managed to surprise Dana Cameron, which was a total blast. I'd told no one I was going, and not 2 days before, she and I had been commiserating via e-mail about how we wouldn't get to see each other until May at Malice Domestic. I thoroughly enjoyed the look on her face when I went up to her. Got a lovely hug!
E, C's friend from Richmond, joined us then, and the 4 of us spent the rest of the day at panels, shopping and had a lovely lunch at our favorite place, Hamilton's.
I didn't buy much, but snagged a gorgeous purple pashmina from a street vendor.
Today, I'm going to spend resting and catching up on shows.
Next weekend: MJ!!!!!!!!!! I'm so psyched to see all of you guys.
