Thursday Thirteen–getaway style!
First off, huge apologies for falling off the face of the earth last week. Had weather related damage to the house… and no power. Couldn’t visit other blogs…

So, say the girls and I decided to get together for a writing weekend at some mystical, remote log cabin. It supposed to be a weeked of work–and fun. We’ve got goals to meet, but you just KNOW putting online friends together in person will result in some hilarious hijinx. Here’s 13 items I’d DEFINITELY be packing! 1) tazer. Titanium. Encrusted with Diamonds, Rubies, Emeralds and Sapphires. Packs a serious get-your-ass-writing-punch. First I can’t get Emma OR Shan to get their arses in gear and do this TT. How the heck are they gonna even make it TO the cabin, much less get any writing done? Jaci’s exempt. She hasn’t been told about this impromptu vacation… yet. 2) The matching DMMCOT (Don’t Make Me Come Over There) t-shirt Emma bought several of us some years ago. Dr. Suess. Says it all. 3) My gun. Someone’s gotta ward off all the creepy crazies that are just waiting to attack innocent romance writers when they venture into the wild. 4) Gummi bears, Bottle caps, sweettarts and a case (at least) of pepsi. Nutrition is a must. 5) laptop. That’d be a good idea, right? 6) Copy of each my friend’s books so I can get them to sign them for me. 7) Camera. Thousand words X 24. Who wants to bet there’ll be some writing weekend psuedo mastercard commercials roaming the web after we get done, eh? 8) Flat screwdriver. I am DYING to remove Emma’s delete key from her keyboard. 9) Gas can, box of matches and marshmallows. You know those rejection letters? Bonfire, baby! 10) Deck of cards. One can only work so much. 11) Modem and wireless router. See #10. Besides, I can’t write without being connected, if you know what I mean. It’s a ….hangup. Must…be…in…touch. And I know the others will be too busy packing Captain Morgan and Diet Dew to remember the important stuff like internet connection. *sigh* 12) Cell phone. You know I’ll sneak a love you, no love you more, no miss you, no miss you more phone call to my husband. 13) Tyvek, Goats, chicken feet, pens, bookmarks, valium, music, bull whip, and all those other things collected from years of IM’ing with these chicas. What would you pack in your suitcase? |

Huggles,
Donica
Clothes are a given. And my music. Can’t write wihtout music. This new book needs Lynard Skynard, Charlie Daniels, Metallica, Sonata Arctica, Kiss, Disturbed, Nickleback and Nightwish. I guess I need headphones so my music doesn’t disturb any of the rest of you.
Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups, Dr. Pepper, Pop corn, butter and brown sugar so I can make my famous DoniJacks. And a TRUCKLOAD of Ghirardelli, Hershy’s Cacao Reserve, and M&Ms. I’m a bitch on wheels wihtout chocolate!
There’s my list Melani. Hey! Thanks for dropping by my place.

A taser AND a gun? Eek!
I’ll do my writing from right here, thanks! I think if I joined you guys, I’d be too busy being scared of that taser and gun to get anything done.
Either that or laughing at the lost delete key.

Shubby! ggg
*clutches keyboard warily to chest*
Yeah, I suck. Sorry I didn’t get mine posted, but the getting ready for school business is in full swing and I’ve a lot more good intentions than time or energy. *sigh*
