On the Road Again

I'm heading off to San Francisco for the Romance Writers of America's national conference, and I've decided to have an absolutely fabulous time! Despite various challenges. You see, I went to my hairdresser to get something entertaining done to my hair, and I wanted edgy, so she did highlights, which I do almost every year and blends perfectly with my ash blonde hair and accumulating gray, and dark streaks as well so I can look like a tawny jungle beast. Actually more like a plump tabby cat but you get the idea.
Apparently I'm allergic to something in the dye. I've got nasty itchy things all around my scalp line like a ring of fire, and across my neck and throat (I can't figure out why with that one). It got so bad last night I was considering canceling my trip, but fate has been kind and I look as glorious as the demure Sister K can look.
If anyone's in the SF area they should come to the literacy reception and see almost all of the Storybroads in their full glory.
So I'm packing, singing along with my iPod (currently on -- The Proclaimers singing Whole Wide World) and getting ready to party down.
But before the demoralizing madness of a romance conference, I'm going to spend a blissful night at the Hotel Kabuki, where I can wallow in Japanese-ness and try not to flirt with every male in sight.
Then back to Vermont to hide in my cabin and write non-stop until SILVER FALLS is finished, come hell or high water. It's going to be wonderful, but it's hard work and challenging, and I tend to like things easy.
In the meantime, for those of you who aren't going to RWA, here's a little video to cheer you up.

And come over to Facebook and be my friend. I want masses of them, so I'll feel special.
