Publishers- old and new
I’d like to get some feedback on publishers that authors love. Please don’t comment on any problems or advise against a certain publisher. We’ll go with the- “If you don’t have anything nice to say, don’t say anything” phrase. I know there are a ton of spectacular publishers out there and this is your chance [...]
Read More..>>Sales
I had a sale in my driveway this weekend. I simply put ‘sale’ on all of the signs and sold a good bit of stuff. Here are some of the things I’ve heard these sales called: *Yard Sale- I’d assume this would take place in a yard but I’ve never really seen a sale in [...]
Read More..>>Michael Jackson
This is the way I’d like to remember Michael. I have the entire Thriller video on my ipod- I remember the anticipation of waiting for that short film to come out. I still have a scrapbook I kept of him while I was in middle school. I remember the Pepsi commercial, the silver glove, and [...]

This is the poster that hung over my husband’s bed when he was a teenager. A most famous poster. I heard on the news it sold over 12 million copies! This is kind of how I remember her, as a determined, fun-loving woman who enjoyed life. However you remember her- take a few moments today [...]

Isn’t this just the sweetest? Leave your fondest memory of your father in the comments. I’ll start. One day I came home from school and my dad was working on a car out in the yard. Something was wiggling in the front of his shirt as I watched. I touched his belly and jumped back. [...]
Read More..>>Happy Summer
This is so true for me. Of course I spend my summers resting and relaxing. I don’t wear make up in the summer and I don’t stress over what I’m going to wear. I eat better and exercise more. It’s wonderful. I wish I had this attitude all year long. I’ll have to work on [...]
Read More..>>I killed the big Spider
For any of you who heard about my fishing adventures, the animals getting into the house, etc. you may think I can’t handle my own. Well, I’m here to tell you that I killed a spider today. It was crawling up my husband’s arm- I revved into action, swatted it off of him, and then [...]

We all need a little more, don’t you think? At the risk of sounding Miss USA pageant-ish, if you could wish for anything in the world what would it be?
