Weiner Authors and weiner dogs

This girl is bored. She is at work. It is early morning, and she woke up with a headache, which is strange for her. A banana and orange juice seem to be helping her a bit. She is really hoping this headache goes away and she can try to enjoy her last day temping as a secretary for Sandy.

She does not know why she is speaking in third person.

My sister and Andrew came up yesterday and moved all her stuff out. They also took Oscar. Maybe that was part of why I had a headache when I woke up; he wasn't there. I felt very lonely. Maybe it just kind of set me off balance. I miss him already. He's such a great little dog. And since we got the kitten a few days ago, it was so funny to seem them play together (playing together meaning the cat would attack the dog).

Next week Max and I are taking a trip to St. Louis, and I'm really excited about it. And his 21st birthday is tomorrow and his mommy is cooking for us tonight. Should be a nice weekend.

I don't really know how I'm feeling. But I don't need to complain about it. Just in a weird state of Limbo or something, I guess.

I finished my book Good in Bed and am now about half way through the sequel, Certain Girls. I love it. The first one was all about this young twenty something reporter named Cannie and her love life and selling her screenplay and she gets knocked up by her ex but finally finds a good man. The second one is told by two different narrators, one chapter being from Cannie's perspective , the next being told by the daughter, who is now almost 13. And what makes the books so great is that the author Jennifer Weiner used events from her own life (except for having a kid) in her stories, and that honesty is really prevalent. Plus I love stories about big girls triumphing! Woo hoo for being over a size 10 and being beautiful and successful! All hail chick lit!

I wish I could write a great book, or a screenplay. I think I would feel really good about myself and satisfied if I could. However, I'm a sucky writer.

I need to do something, though. This - whatever it is - isn't working.

Well, I'm off to drink more coffee and delve into the adventures of Cannie Shapiro. Happy Friday.
