Seeing as this is blog specifically for that, I’m going to try. All of the awesomeness will see its own post (or two) this week, so for now I’m going to bullet point the awesomeness and then start prepping posts for the rest of the week to fill you up.

* First my husband and I went to Vintage Indiana (Thank you, Indiana Family of Farmers).  We sampled, we walked, we ate and we bought.  We discovered a winery we didn’t know about and brought home a few bottles of deliciousness.

* After that I met my friend and neighbor and went to an Indiana Fever Game. They put us up in the Legends suite and it was amazing. Good food, good drinks, good friends, good game (side note: we won!)

* The ever beautiful Casey had a phone that I could replace mine with after the loss I suffered last week. My Thunderbolt is gone, but I welcome in the Droid Bionic w/ open arms. We came this close to agreeing to a date to see Barry Manilow together…but alas she will be at Blogher. Such a shame…we could have been part-time Fanilow’s together.

* Did I mention the Fever game? Yeah, that meant I got to hang out with the awesomeness that is the Indy Geek Girls. The blogging community in Indy is Da-Bom’…and I loves me ladies.

* After all of that fun I came home and checked my email – to find an offer on my novel!!! I literally fell off the couch when I read the email. Yes, literally. Just ask Erik or Denver – they were there.

* Once I finally got to sleep – I woke up to find another requested full for my novel. I’d entered a pitch contest on a whim and a tiny prayer – & that publisher wants to see it too!

* Today I found out what was causing Erik’s phone to be painfully slow and it appears to be fixed.  The man is very happy.

So today I’ve been sending out emails, fulls and updates to those that have my work. I’ve contacted a lawyer to look at the contract I received to help me make this difficult decision (I may not like the contract, or get the answers I want to my questions).  Even though I’ve waited a very long time for an offer – I won’t just jump on it.  There are a lot of points to weigh and I plan on weighing each of them carefully and with as clear a head as I can.

So as the week goes on, you’ll learn more about much of the events of the past 24 hours. right now I’m still a bit giddy so you get the info dump!  More soon, I promise!

    You left out the part where you called me until you got me out of bed to tell me about the offer 😀 Which I was very happy that you did even if I was groggy. It was a happy groggy lol.

    I am so proud of you. To watch you go through this journey with these characters has been an amazing ride. One I am grateful I got to be on with you.

    Love you!!

      Thanks hon!! I’m still on cloud 9…although I have to come down soon to start seriously looking over the contract. It’s nowhere near in the bag but getting an offer at all is a big deal. It’s my first one so I’m choosing to revel a while 😉
