Everyone has been warning me about the heat in Atlanta, but according to Weather.com, it’s going to be 20 degrees cooler there than it is here. Every day that I’m gone.

The heat today was insane.

You know, I’ve been waiting over two years for my cable company to offer DVR (Tivo) in my area. Yesterday, on the way out to lunch, hubby and I grabbed two of our cable remotes that were looking pretty worn out and took them to the local cable office for exchange. While waiting, I noticed their advertising for their DVR programming. (Now, a year ago, I signed up for their newsletter which was supposed to email me when they had DVR, but I never got it.)

So, anyway, the cable company came out today and installed the DVR. We’re happy because with 400+ channels, we never seem to find what we want to watch actually airing at the time we want to watch it.

Since I never find time to watch more than an hour of TV here and there, it’s nice to know that when I do manage to sit down, I can watch what I want, instead of just whatever’s on.

Anyone else have Tivo?

Remember that big rush of first-time sales we saw at the start of the year? Now I’m seeing a huge rush of reupped contracts. In the last two weeks, I think the average has been about 2-3 renewed contracts A DAY! Is this normal right before Nationals and I never noticed before? At least half the sales have been for traditional (read: non-erotic) romances.

Congrats to all the authors in my chapters who have resigned with their exisiting publishers!!

In other timing notes, my hubby was called into jury duty today, just a couple weeks after my stint. He was released around 11am, so he and I and our kiddies went out to lunch. It was nice to go out to lunch with him during the week. 4-5 years ago, we used to eat lunch together regularly. Now our house is 45 mins away from his work, so we don’t do that anymore.

I’m getting really excited about going to Atlanta!

… for my trip. If I see something I know I’ll want to take with me, I toss it in my suitcase, but overall, I’m woefully not ready.

Is anyone else ready to go, or at least feels like they’re close to being ready to go?

YOUR PLANET OR MINE by Susan Grant
(HQN Books, July 25, 2006)

Think the grocery store is a great place to meet men?

Hunky interstellar fugitive, aisle 5.

With outrageously false accusations piling up against her famous political family and an ex-fiancé in hot water determined to take her down with him, the last thing Jana Jasper needs is more trouble–especially man trouble. But when she heads to the grocery store for an ice cream fix, not only does the muscled hunk in the frozen foods section ranting about spaceships and invasions look crazy, he looks… familiar.

Cavin of Far Star has never forgotten the girl he met during his weeks spent on that quaint little world, planet Earth, the girl who didn’t believe he was real. And now he’ll risk his future to save her. All she has to do is take him to her leader. Simple enough plan–although Jana isn’t so easily convinced. Hell-bent on charming his way past her defenses, he’s determined to stay one step ahead of the galaxy’s most feared assassin–and may just capture his favorite Earthling’s heart in the process.
