Tonight...

Posted by Rachel Vincent at 4/23/2010 10:23:00 AM
I'm in the home stretch on revisions for Alpha, and I hope to finish it tomorrow, then give certain sections one more quick read-through before turning it in.

But tonight... I babysit! Though that term hardly seems accurate, considered that the kids my friend is bringing over are school age. Fortunately, I've known them most of their lives. ;-)

I'm not a noob. I've done this before. But I haven't done an over-night babysitting gig in more than a decade--

Sorry. Had to stop typing to go clean up cat vomit. What a glamorous life I live. ;-)

Anyway, today I revise brutal fight scenes and sexual tension. Tonight I entertain elementary age children. Pizza. Movies. Popcorn. Just Dance on my Wii. It'll be fine. Right?

Right?

You will be fine you will see, just make sure you have food and games to play to keep them entertained! Good Luck.

You'll do a great job, no worries at all! ;) Just dance...HAHA! My sister in-law brought that over for my birthday (I had never used let alone seen a Wii before), and we danced to "Step By Step" by The New Kids On The Block! Pure and utter hilarity! She can totally rock out "Can't Touch This" by M.C. Hammer and made my brother in-law dance with her...what I wouldn't have given for a video camera!!!

Enjoy your night! :)

Oh hell yeah! you'll end up having fun too. Elementary age children are fun - as long as they don't wake up too early! My grandson (almost 2) spent the night with us last night, and woke me up at 8 a.m. (I like to sleep in). I was dreading getting up, but I had to work anyway :) He makes a good alarm clock, saying his favorite phrase...gramma No, No Gramma, over and over.

Hi! I´m in love with your books! I´m just finishing my soul to save and I want to cry because I have to wait a month (i know) for the next one! oh and ...I hope you don't mind but...there are two mistakes in the one of the books (my soul to save)..ones major and the other one's isn´t very important...the first one (the not'so'big on) is that you wrote ´blanker´ instead of ´blanket´ on page 100 and the major one...on the begining of chapter 18 it says ´Abby´ instead of ´Addy´. I'm sorry for being so annoying, i hope i did something good at least. but anyway I love your books and I can't wait till june!

I don't know about you but I enjoy the rare babysiting opps more as an adult, than I ever did as a teenager. And I don't even get paid anymore. I hope it went well.
