1,365 words on Illuminators. I kinda like when the Mr. gets behind on the reviewing, then I get to write on the new novel, which is much more fun.
The J.J. Dinner went shockingly well. We finally got two speakers about 9pm last night, then got the last bio for the program at 4pm today. Ran it off quickly and inserted it in the program and made the dinner on time. The food was okay, the MC was funny. The singer was a hoot and certainly had the right audience for his political songs. Candidates weren't too long winded (poor Dan Dodd is in the middle of the Dann scandal as he has been appointed to research impeachment laws, and he looked tired). And I really enjoyed the guest speakers - the farmland preservation guy kept getting off-topic but was funny about it and knew his stuff. The author kept it short and told tales of McCain he'd found from researching his book. I think it was the best dinner since Coleman spoke our first year. But then I found it refreshing to hear someone other than a career politician speak for once. And the rum I smuggled in relaxed things immensly.
It was a great social event for me: I got to speak to all the people I liked and none of the people I didn't. And I realized just how many people there I really, really enjoy talking to. I like these Democratic social functions. I forget that when I've volunteered too much and am burned out. And I looked freaking hot in my Johnnie Boden dress and Tibbs wasn't around to give me the creeps for looking hot. Mr. Ips sure liked it. I think Shameless was getting pretty tired of it all by the end, but the Mr. and I hung around and socialized a little longer. Yes, you heard that right - me socializing. It happens just once or twice a year, so don't blink or you'll miss it.

Yes, Ipsissimus looked hot in her dress!
I was tired by the end. I wanted to get my mom out of there so she could get home without falling asleep. Then the calls started coming from the girls, youngest one sick and oldest one tired of taking care of her.
Love,
Shameless
