ok, so maybe i'm too old to have a spring break. i didn't even get one my senior year of college because nerdy me graduated a semester early. but i feel like i have two this year within one month! first, i am heading down to mobile, alabama with one of my new best friends meredith to research my new novel. half of it takes place in her hometown, and i need to see it for myself. i am so excited. i get to meet her family and see all the places i am putting into my story.
then...i get to go to santa monica...and see another place i put in my first novel. it reminds me of all the time i spent walking around the 3rd St. Promenade before we moved home, taking notes on a notecard, trying to get all the specifics seared into my memory before i wrote those chapters. so i'm going back to relive it a little and to take a mental break with my husband.
he misses cali, and i have to admit, i do miss it a little too. it was an extended vacation though, and after a while, vacations stop having that sheen. you realize there is a lot you can't get done on a vacation (that could be me and my ocd need to always be doing something).
i am sitting in my office right now, in nashville, and with my little doggie underneath the desk. and i have to say, i'm very happy. i'm excited to get to go back and see the place from a true "vacationer" perspective, but i love where we are.
have a wonderful week, and if you had a spring break, for real... i hope it was great!
oh ya, and Happy Easter!
