Skulls and Other Cool Stuff

Posted by Faith on Feb 9, 2010 in Daily Musings | 2 comments

The hubby and new buddy went paddling yesterday on Rocky Creek, about 40 minutes away. I was terribly jealous, but at the same time, I have been needing some *alone in the house time* and it was wonderful! I steamed the writing room carpet (the adopted Poms had made it kindy icky as we worked on house training,) washed clothes, and cleaned the bathroom. I call it nesting, and it clears my head for writing or, in this case, rewriting. I need a cool head to pull all the strands together for this book. It has sooo many plot lines!

A friend sent me some skulls. The hubby is still aghast, which I find amusing. Having worked in a lab for years, I’ve seen so many more weird things than skulls, and coveted them, let me tell you! And now I have a cat skull, dog and fox skulls, and one…well, it’s too big to be dog (though it looks dog-like) and it’s only a partial, so I can’t really tell what species it is, but I’m calling it my wolf skull. Yep, that’s my call! 

And the fossil she sent is tooo cool! It’s flat, gray, with fern leaves on both sides. Perfect! I’ve ordered a baker’s rack to display the orchids and the skulls and other cool stuff. When I get it all put together I’ll try to take a pic and put it up here.

Meanwhile, Mercy Blade is *getting close* to being ready to be sent to my editor. But the pink elephant (my word for the deadline) is growing and it’s hard to stay calm as it expands!
Hugs,
Faith
