Average Jane Finishes the Week

This morning I woke up early and made a batch of blueberry scones to take to work.  I still need to grind some coffee to take with me; we’ve run out at the office and it could be a while before we get more.

If you’re in the mood for a morning laugh, check out this classic TableTalk post from Salon that they ran yesterday in celebration of their 10th anniversary.  By the time I finished reading it, I was laughing so hard that tears were rolling down my face.  Get the day pass if you don’t have a subscription – it’s worth it.

I’m still preparing myself for Sunday’s marathon lyric writing session.  The trouble with being a, shall we say, more mature rock vocalist is that it makes me hesitate to write anything that might cause any controversy in other contexts of my life.  For example, the band has a song that they call "Fast Woman."  I’d be happy to jump in and write something provocative from the point of view of the fast woman herself, but then I think, "What if the grandmotherly ladies from my community service organization should ever run across this?"  I know – I need to just get over it.  Same world, different spheres and all that…

I have all day Saturday to goof around while my husband uses our studio/office space for a recording session.  I’m thinking hard about what my NaNoWriMo genre should be.  Chick lit?  Science fiction or fantasy?  A children’s book?  Oh well, we’ll see what happens when I sit down on the 1st and start typing.

Have a lovely weekend!
