I'm not weird, you're weird...and a book update

I am very lucky to have work that I like (even if it has me pulling my hair out lately) as a Real Estate Appraiser. 

And I am even luckier that I also like my co-workers, who often make me laugh even on the days where I am doing the most hair pulling.

In particular, I work with two sisters who are professional women, 50-plus years old, well regarded in their field -- and on occasion revert to the teenage siblings fighting over who got to keep the Shaun Cassidy poster from the latest Tiger Beat magazine I imagine they once were.

Out of nowhere, over the office intercom you may hear...

"Hey, Weirdo!"

"I'm not a weirdo, you're weird!"

"No, you're weird."

...and then we will all go back to discussing the latest market data and the newest federal regulations for our industry.

As I wander through the thrift store and see the strange figurines -- that I don't understand why they were made in the first place or who thought they were a good idea -- you can understand why I often hear in my head the sister's yelling at each other...

I'm not weird! You're weird!

 

Nuh, uh, you're weird!

And could use a better retirement plan.

 You're scary weird.

You're weird, but with a killer hat.

Pipe smoking creatively weird.

Captain of the Guard of weird.

Moodily weird.

Happily weird.

Here's to keeping it weird, people.

Book Update...

On my journey to get the second book out in the Miller's Fine Antiques series, I have had a lot "three steps forward and two steps back" situations.

But I have finally put out an updated edition of Such Beautiful Deadly Things on Kindle/paperback, so that the story lines will flow properly. SBDT

The next goal is to refocus on book two, Such a Lot of Deadly Things, to make it available by the end of the month. So, I feel like I'm finally moving forward, even if slower than I'd like.
