In case you are wondering about a variety of topics, here is a smattering:
Regarding my getting our place ready to become a rental and looking for
a place for us to move: no, we are not leaving L.A. (yet). It's been
two years and we've always intended for this place to become a rental,
so we're looking around at all the screamin' real estate deals out
there and trying to decide what to do next. Real estate investment:
just a part of the Cox/ Culwell empire. No joke!
Work/etc: still swamped. Getting a little more under control.
Ongoing computer problems are making this a continued pain in the a*#,
which is why I haven't been updating as much. Bear with me, people!
One day I will get everything organized again, and then it will be
2010. Lessons learned: always back everything up, and use a Mac from
the beginning.
Perhaps the most exciting news of the day, which I have mostly been
holding until now: I can be seen in tonight's season finale of The
Closer as a slasher victim. In case you want to pause your Tivo, that
is me, dead in the laundry room in the DVF wrap
dress. I will post the gory version tomorrow, now that I have
prepared you in advance. Look for me in the episode--- I'm in the
murder book, and my name is "Michelle Ward."
Also, you never know with editing--I could be on the cutting room floor by tonight, but watch anyway! It's a good show!

Crazy, crazy, crazy (The Closer part). I missed it (don't watch that show, and just read this post now), but I think it is so awesome and crazy that you were on it!
OK, so I quit Facebook. I am planning on writing about this, by the way, so who knows, maybe I'll have fodder for a halfway entertaining submission for somewhere. At any rate, I'll miss your messages so from now on we'll have to communicate via blog and e-mail!
Lastly, I committed to a reading/signing in Chicago in November. I have never done anything even remotely like this. I will have many questions for you, such as, what to wear? How to not freak the hell out? Would a manicure be a smart pre-reading/signing investment? and other important queries such as that.
Hope work settles down soon! Oh, and major developments on the toddler-sleep front, so you may want to check my blog! ;)
