Just a Thought

I'm writing an article about Festival of the Arts, and I'm really excited about it:  the interviewing, the editing, the research, being able to casually say, "I just talked with my editor," and, especially, getting paid for it.  Good timing, too, because as I was reading in bed last night, the lampshade went ahead and fell right off the Target lamp upon which it sat, thus completing the Very Classy Bedside Situation I have going on.  Perhaps it's time to buy a new nightstand that isn't a blue Rubbermaid container, a lampshade that isn't made of masking tape, and a clock radio that wasn't a birthday gift in third grade.  On second thought, I clearly need a new bookshelf, too; better write a few more articles . . .
