Contest winner and Looking for birthday ideas
The winner of the CD giveaway for Monroe's story is...alishsmom! So just send your mailing address to jeri AT jerismithready DOT com, and I'll see that your brand-new copy of Alvin Youngblood Hart's Big Mama's Door gets on its merry little way.You have until 9pm eastern tomorrow night to enter to win a signed copy of the phenomenal debut novel by Stephanie Kuehnert, I Wanna Be Your Joey Ramone. See my interview with Stephanie for details.
Now...my birthday is Friday, and I'm hoping to get all my work done before then so I can take the day off. I'm trying to figure out how I want to spend my day. So far I have two ingredients:
1. Sending Chris to Sam's Bagels for breakfast sandwiches, coffee, and a dozen bagels, a treat I usually save for Deadline Hell.
2. Reading the entire Y: The Last Man comic series by Brian K. Vaughn. The tenth and final volume just came out a couple weeks ago. I've read the first two, but then stopped and waited for it to be over so I could glom it all at once. That's how I tend to operate with series. Does anyone else do this?
Other than that, I'm coming up dry. I'm so unaccustomed to days off that I don't know what to do with them, and I'm afraid I'm going to end up wandering aimlessly around the house, then accidentally fall into a mad fit of filing.
So I'm looking for inspiration. If you had a free day with no responsibilities, how would you spend it?

I also love to *write* on my days "off", but um, you mean a day off FROM writing, the concept of which I find hard to wrap my brain around...

And I know exactly what you should do--go catch an afternoon showing of Hellboy 2--it'll be fun...

I like to totally relax by laying around in a lounge chair, sipping my favorite beverage, and catching up on a book from my TBR pile.
But a meal in your favorite restaurant and a movie sounds good, too.
Have fun, no matter what you decide to do!
