I've been busier these last couple of weeks than any person who makes no money has any right to be. This is a measly excuse for my silence.
I'm on the home stretch--I think--with this novel's first draft. I have the peculiar 'almost-finished' feeling. I want nothing more than to sit and write and write and finish, but I also feel saddened at the thought of writing and writing and finishing.
Still, this draft has eaten my brain. I haven't been reading, I haven't been catching up with the (few) new TV show episodes that have been on (I missed two episodes of House? 3?), and the less said about the dustbunnies under my bed, the better. Still, I am almost finished a rough (oh, so very, very rough) draft!
The sign over my desk tells me I have eight days.
I wonder what will happen if I write all day today?

Not the only one!
Grace is not the only one! I promise! I was on a cruise and away from the means of internet. Granted that was a few weeks ago. Ooops. But I am back now and hooray!
Except right now I don't know what to say. Except that I love honey. I freaking love honey. Honey is the best little food on the face of this planet. I am sort of obsessed about it. I am such a lover that I have friends who bring me honey back from their travels because they know that I love how honey is never the same. I almost stockpiled honey the other day at the grocery store, it was embarrassing. They had all these amazing flavours: fireweed, lavender, okay that's all I can think of. How sweet is the fact that honey flavour changes depending on the flower? YUM-O!
My friend brought me Borneo Honey that is so rich it is almost like a caramel sauce. I have some from a tiny farm in Mexico that comes in a recycled water bottle and you can actually see the dirt in it - actually I don't know if it is dirt but it sure is yummy. I had some from Thailand that I rationed. So if you go somewhere fun remember to bring me back honey!
It tastes great in yogurt, on toast, with peanut butter, and as a yummy sweetener for soups and stir-frys (I have never actually done this but I saw someone do it once).
So I am back and all I can think to write about is my love of honey.
