Today is my birthday. Woohoo! The sun is shining, the birds are singing, and I'm home alone, at least until the maid gets here at 10. Anybody who has kids (or even roommates) can appreciate the lovely feeling of being left to your own devices.

We had a big family party on Saturday, where I ate an awesome burger, danced, drank some Chivas and listened to some really funny stories. The celebration went on for some six hours, so I'm okay to chill this fine Monday. We'll probably go out to dinner somewhere tonight, but otherwise it's business as usual for me today.

I'm on page 255 out of 283 in my Good Touch revisions, but it's the last bit here that needs the most work. However, I think I've just about figured out how to fix the rough parts. I'm nearly done with the accompanying proposal as well. It would be a grand birthday present to myself if I managed to get the project back out the door to my agent today, but we'll see.

Anyway, contest news: I have a new one running over on the Bradford Bunch, one you won't want to miss. The prize is pretty awesome, if I do say so myself. Go check it out.

We have a contest winner over here too! L has won an e-ARC of Boundless. Blam! Her first time commenting on my blog, and she racks up a win. Email me, and I'll hook you up.

Finally, I have a contest running on my loop, but I can't talk about it here. If you were a member of my inner circle, you'd already know what it was all about, and you'd probably have entered by now. But don't despair. If you hate feeling left out, just put your email in the box up in the sidebar, and you can still enter. It closes on Aug 29, midnight. I hope you'll join us.

And for those of you who, like me, could never get enough of Mr. Hut from Life on a Stick, I bring you this very special Happy Birthday Dance. The look on your face is thanks enough.
