Amazon discontinued the ability to create images using their SiteStripe feature and in their infinite wisdom broke all previously created images on 12/31/23. Many blogs used this feature, including this one. Expect my archives to be a hot mess of broken book cover images until I can slowly comb through 20 years of archives to make corrections.

Making A List, Checking It Twice

It's finally here chickadees! I'm on vacation and boarding a plane tomorrow for the RWA conference in Washington D.C. Rosie and I are traveling together (weeeee!) and we'll both be up at an ungodly hour in order to make it to the airport. If all goes according to plan, we'll be in D.C., at the hotel, sometime early evening. Since we'll be on California time, I figure we'll either be bouncing off the walls, or so darn exhausted from the traveling that we'll fall into bed.

I'm pretty much packed and ready to go. Just a few last minute toiletries that will have to be stuffed in the suitcase in the morning. I've also got Ye Olde Laptop ready to roll, along with my Sony Reader loaded with lots of books. Of course, I've pretty much decided I'm only bringing it along so other people can play with it. I never, ever seem to get any reading done at this conference. Too much to do, too many people to see, and I'm easily distracted by the pretty and shiny.

As for what's in store for you all? Well, hopefully lots of blog updating. Tweeting? Not at all. I tend to ignore my Twitter account and stick to blogging cuz that's how I roll. Also, I'm really going to try and be better about taking pictures this year! I'm always terrible about that, but this year there is no excuse since My Man got me a shiny new digital camera for my birthday. One that easily and conveniently fits in my purse. Praise saints!

My dance card seems to have exploded a bit, so I should have lots to blab about....assuming of course that I find time to blog about it all. Oh well, I just won't sleep. That will solve that problem!

Until later faithful blog readers. Next post will be coming to you live from D.C.
