Out and about.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

I love staying home but this week was more of an out and about week. I took myself on a little work\/artist’s date and stopped by one of my favorite local bookstores and ordered a stack of my favorite books to give away. Then I walked across the street and sat at a cafe, ordered a coffee and did a little writing for my new book. The deadline is still months away but I’ve found a good grove so I’ve committed to writing a little bit almost every day. In addition to grocery shopping, I went to a pilates class, met a friend for lunch and tomorrow I’m going to a fun event<\/a> where there will be coffee and dogs (two of my favs). Stop by and say hi if you are in Salt Lake City. I hope you are having a good week staying home, being out and about or a little of both.<\/p>\n
