I am almost ready to send my YA book to a prospective agent.  Feels like I've been working on this thing for years! But that's what happens when you don't write.  You get stuck.

Rob and I tried to recycle today.  Our apartment building has no recycling and I just couldn't throw all that stuff away.  So we loaded it into the car and drove to a recycling center.  but you had to sort everything and stuff it through teeny holes, and it took forever.  Plus, we burned fossil fuels to get over there.

I am really surprised any place in California is so backward that apartment buildings can't recycle.  But unless I can persuade a friend with a recycling bin to take my junk, I'll have to add to the landfill.  'cause I'm not doing what I did today--what a pain.

I finally finished up my crocheted scarf that I mostly finished during the drive from Dallas to Long Beach.  You can see it here:

Rob came in first in a writing contest with his Harlequin Presents manuscript.  So happy for him.

Let's see, what else:  Rode our bikes to the art supply store today.  Wow, what a great store.  I could wander there for hours, and it's only half a mile from my apartment.  I bought some watercolors and paper and a good drawing pencil.  I figure, until we move into a house and I can have a dedicated craft room again, I have to do things that don't take up much space.

Guess I'll go watch some Hulu (since I've never bought a converter box and I no longer subscribe to Direct TV).

cheers,
Kara
