Robots, Moving, and Noah

I walked in on a crime scene this morning! A. had gotten up before me and was downstairs enjoying his coffee and Sunday paper. I went downstairs, gave him a kiss and then went to the kitchen and found our robot vacuum, Mr. Suckenstein, paralyzed in the middle of the kitchen floor. A. had turned him on when he made his coffee and then let him do his thing. 

The poor little guy had his right paw (whirly brush) tangled up in one of those plastic ties that comes with the newspaper. Not only that, he had sucked a dryer sheet up into his wheel. A. had to do some surgery to free him and then we had to change out the right brush with one of the replacement heads. He has a little limp to him, but he's trudging on. All the times we cursed at him for getting into stupid situations, but when we found him dying we banded together like good parents and saved our little robot baby. 

I'm desperately thinking of what I want to write next. I wanted to start a new series, but I already have so many that people want me to go back and do more of. Colton is on hold for a bit. 

I have the wedding chapter of Noah I could go back and finish. I only have five pages written, but it's a good start. I have 3/4 a chapter of Kyle, the companion series to Kasper's Den. I might go back and work on it. At the time I left it, I was just feeling like it was just the same thing I write over and over again. But doing Colton kind of gave me some new ideas for it. 

Our move is kind of on hold. A is being courted by a group of investors who want him to be their solo guy. They made him a really good offer and they're offering to pay for a really cool high rise apartment for us for 3 months in this SUPER Cool building with a rooftop deck and full gym with cardio classes and yoga and bikes we can use to go out. They want us to try out the area and see if we want to live there and work for them. I'm sure A made us sound like a poor young couple. He really sells it when he wants to. :) 

It's not Orange County, but it's a safe suburb just outside the city of LA with lots of shopping and fun stuff plus an aggressive police force. We went there yesterday and ate at a Persian restaurant in the little downtown so A could see if it would be a good fit. There are lots of Persians in the area and it's  out of the valley so it has cooler weather (It's 95 in our neighborhood today).
