A treat for me! My new favorite show Heroes returns tonight. I love that show. The writing, the acting, everything about it. I want to be able to watch guilt-free so that means I will get the required pages finished before 9:00 p.m. I've never missed a broadcast episode yet. That's how I was with Invasion, but Heroes has better ratings so it won't be on the network chopping block. Do you have any must-see television shows?

Not much else to say. All I can think about is the book. Here's a recent exchange between me and hubby.

Hubby: That's a cute smile on your face. Thinking about me?

Me (distracted): Uh, no.

Hubby: The book.

Me (imagining my hero...click and page down to see him): Yep.

Hubby: It's always the book.

And unfortunately right before a deadline, it is all about the book. I can't shut it off. That's just how my brain works.

Do you get tunnel vision about anything you do?
