weekend check-in
Feb. 28th, 2009 06:19 pmAfter almost two days of near-Spring weather, winter is coming back for a one-two punch of cold and snow tonight and again tomorrow night. Thankfully, I've got nowhere I need to be until Tuesday.
Meanwhile, this weekend I am wearing Editor Hat, working with two clients, both of whom are newbies. Oh dear. Already I have earned my fee for one, saving hir from the ridicule of any agent or editor... in fact, agents and editors should send me thank-you letters. *facepalm* But this is why they hire me....
Also, writing two guest-entries for Other Blogs, and yes, more Pack of Lies. Because that's how the gig is done.
For those of you following along on the Kitchen Follies, the stone warehouse was an OMG candy store. C and I wandered around oooing and aaahing at the massive slabs until the designer-lady took us by hand and forced us to focus on the task at-hand. I chose three variations of granite (one green-black, one brown-gold, and one green-with-striations-and-flecks), and she took a hammer to them and handed over samples. We took them back to the apartment and contemplated them in daylight, dusk, and nighttime lighting. After due consideration, and dinner, I decided on the green-with-black. It is lovely, and will, I hope, go wonderfully with the already-ordered cabinets and the floor tile I chose. And yay, for once in my life I did not instinctively choose the OMG most expensive thing on the lot.
