Reviewing with River

I usually keep a wide variety of things on hand for snacks while reviewing. These are typically some kind of candy and some kind of salty snack. None of them are good for me! Some of my go-to favorites include Lemonheads, lemon jolly ranchers, sour apple blow pops, chocolate (of course), Mike & Ike. I also keep sour cream and onion chips, pretzels, wheat thins, BBQ chips, pickles, olives, cheese, cookies, triscuits, yogurt, and sour cream and onion chip dip on hand.

During the spring/summer months I make fresh pico. Papa Johns BBQ chicken pizza. Bush's fried chicken. Always important to have brain food. Gum. Oh and Red Bull. Pepsi. Water. In the winter months, hot tea, cocoa, and soup. Hubby is awesome about making sure to bring me these things while I'm writing so I don't forget to eat. I know if they're on hand, he won't even ask, he'll just bring me whatever he thinks I'm in the mood for. He's awesome like that. He's known for making me an amazing grilled cheese out of muenster cheese (if you haven't had one they are so very divine) or creamy havarti. Oh and Popcorn. I bought a popcorn maker so I would easily have the best-tasting popcorn on hand anytime. My heated blanket.

Another go-to tool is my handheld mouse. Makes it easy to navigate. My cell phone is never far from reach so I can easily look things up, jot a quick note to myself, etc.

Music is a must - so my Bluetooth stereo, my portable Bluetooth speaker, and/or my Bluetooth headsets are always nearby. If hubby is sleeping I will put the speaker right by my head on its lowest setting. Since he sleeps with earplugs in he won't hear it. That allows me to review and write until the wee hours. The stereo is used when I'm really jamming and everyone else is awake. It helps me tune out all the random house noises that are distracting. Also makes it really hard for people to randomly interrupt me so they don't bother trying.

Tylenol, Excedrin, and Advil are must-haves for all the long hours of sitting. Muscle relaxers. Pain cream. Also an ice pack. A thesaurus and online dictionary. My online review tool. The trusty writing ML guide.

Whew, I think that about covers it.
