Four years ago today I first began blogging. Sometimes it seems much less than that. Other times much longer. In that time I’ve made a lot of new friends. So here’s to you! *smooch* You guys mean a lot to me.

We had another storm blow through last night. Lasted about 10 to 15 minutes. We got more rain in that time than we had in the entire day before when it rained all day! All the ditches on our street were overflowing and crossing the street. If it hadn’t been pouring down I’d have gone out and taken pictures. Okay, that’s a lie. I didn’t even think about taking pictures. Must train myself to do that!

I am so sleepy! I can barely keep my eyes open. I see a nap in my future…

Not a lot on tonight. New episodes of Bones, CSI, and Warriors. And that’s it.

Wrote 3/4 of a page last night and also did some research.

Reading: I dove back into my book collection and decided to re-read The Gate of Ivory by Doris Egan. This is the first book in a trilogy. Theodora of Pyrene finds herself stranded on the planet Ivory, the only planet in the galaxy where magic works, for two years after being robbed. She ekes out a living as a (fake) fortune teller, all the while trying to save enough money to buy a ticket home. Then one day Ran Cormallon, a rich and powerful Ivory sorcerer, hires her to read his very special deck of Tarot cards. After she takes the job, she finds out what happened to his previous reader. And finds herself trying to stay alive long enough to get off the planet. Oh, and she also tries to fight falling in love with Ran.

These days Doris is a writer and co-executive producer on the Fox series House.
