Cross your Crossables

Tomorrow afternoon the Sisters are leaving work early and heading off for a girls weekend.

We are so excited we can barely stand it.  There has been A LOT of stress in all of our lives lately and, boy, do we need to let loose a bit sans children and housework and men.

My daily calendar had this timely quote:

As children, men were told, ‘Be a man! Don’t cry!’ and women were told, ‘Let it out.  Cry, you’ll feel better!’ And that’s why as adults, women become very emotional, and men become snipers.”

Pam Stone

We got the opportunity to attend a reader/writer Romance event super cheap and we jumped at it.  Besides the opportunity to talk to other writers, we thought it would be a good idea to relieve some stress so as to not disprove the above quote. 

Lately, I’ve been checking out bell towers and I know Kelli was looking into an assault rifle.  Ava is more desperate.  Her tendencies tend to run in the direction of laying down in traffic.  Things have not been peaceful.

Remember the old Seifeld line, “SERENITY NOW!”?  That’s become my mantra. It’s best while screaming like George Costanza.

I’m feeling very George and hopefully, this weekend of shopping and reading and writing and drinking and sleeping and eating bad food – not necessarily in that order – will do us three a world of good.
