September is here and, like a miracle, the cooling down has already begun. Don’t get me wrong, I love summer, but after August’s hundred degree heat, I am so ready for some cooler days. Getting up this morning, I could tell it was already a little cooler, but when I walked outside to feel the cool, crisp air on my skin, I was amazed at how wonderful it felt. Sixty-five degrees out this morning, and it’s perfection. I looked at my weather channel desktop and the high is only 76 degrees! Very little chance of rain today like there was…

When we started thinking about our wedding, G and I decided that instead of taking out a loan or taking money from savings, we were going to pay for our wedding out of extra money that we made. I was able to get a job teaching private music lessons and between that and google adsense and EQII. we were pulling in some extra money. Somehow, though, along the way, we’ve managed to spend it. Every month there’s been some extra expense like a cousin’s wedding or a trip home or… for example, Christmas (which is insanely expensive these days). You…

I bought my wedding dress last night! I am so excited! I’m not ashamed to say that I found it on Craig’s list through an ad. The girl who sold it to me was planning to get married last year and paid over $1500 for the dress. When the wedding fell through, this beautiful, never before worn Maggie Sottero silk dress was just hanging in her closet. I was able to snag it from her for only $200!! With our current budget, it was a great price, especially considering how beautiful and nice a dress it is! The silk is…

The last of the legendary Kennedy brothers has died of a brain tumor. Even as one who doesn’t tend to follow politics too closely, I know that you can’t deny the impact the Kennedy’s have had on American politics. There were originally four Kennedy brothers. The oldest, Joe I think? Died fighting in World War II. People say their father intended for Joe to run for president, but after he died so young, their father’s sights turned to John, the second boy. As we all know, John F. Kennedy was elected as the 35th president of the United States, but…

Is it just me? Or does it seem like this is the month that never ends? There’s almost an entire week left in August, believe it or not, and I haven’t gotten nearly as much done as I was supposed to. A month since the RWA conference and I still am not ready to send my manuscript out to NYC. I guess I should be grateful that the month is not over yet. It still gives me time to say I got this sent out in August. But to be honest, I’m ready for it to be over. I’m ready…

Ever since I got back from my vacation visiting family and friends last week, I’ve had a hard time getting back into the swing of things. But I feel the energy and the passion to write and work toward my goals coming back. Today is going to be a writing day. I could feel it the moment I got up this morning. It has been a month since my trip to Washington DC where the editor and agent both requested my manuscript… and I have yet to polish my manuscript to the point where I’m comfortable sending it out. I’m…
