Amazing!!!

So I have heard time and time again that many authors write better with music. At first I wrote with no music. Then I started listening to Ben Folds, now I LOVE Ben Folds. Apparently though, I write much better while listening to Bernadette Peters, Ella Fitzgerald, Louis Armstrong and Frank Sinatra. Go figures.

Love all of them and am very excited that they are my muses.

Good times

So I am a big Ben Folds fan, handed down from my brother. My brother is going to two or three concerts of his this week and my husband and I hope to go to one on the 21st. He has a song called Effington, IL and my parents are currently traveling across the country in a van. They left CT yesterday morning and just stopped for some sleep in Effingham, IL. Both my Brother and I got huge laughs out of this.
Took my cat Bunsen to the vet. Oh my goodness. I think I should start writing more about him on here, because honestly he is more interesting then me talking about my writing. Haha. Long story short, he is fine, but he left half of his fur on my shirt and ripped a hole right on the left boob. It was interesting walking out of the store! (He tends to try and climb onto your head at the vet's office.)
Happy 4th of July! My Hubby is working till noon or so today and then I think we are just BBQ-ing for ourselves and then joining friends for fireworks.
As of right now I am writing: 23,760. Not sure what my goal for the day is. But hitting at least 25,000 seems do-able.
Peace,
MJ
