Why does it seem like there is just never enough time in a day? There is so much I want to accomplish, but sometimes it seems so overwhelming. I have so much cleaning to do around the house that it’s pathetic. I set a goal to have a novel completely finished by the end of February to submit to Silhouette Desire. There’s friends I wish I kept in better touch with, not to mention family… especially my cousin who is planning her wedding and just found out her Dad has stage 4 cancer. And, as silly and stupid as it…

What is it lately with all the babies?? Don’t get me wrong, I’m not complaining! I love having friends with beautiful babies. Last week, I saw little Sami come into the world, and then I got to go visit Jodi in Florida. The last time I saw Jodi, he was a tiny baby, and it was so exciting to see him growing up. I finally got to see pics of my friend K’s new baby that is just a couple of weeks old. And… my other friend K from Nashville is due practically any day now. Talk about a baby…

My beautiful niece, Sami, is already a week old! Sorry for the absent posts for the past couple of weeks, but I had to go to GA and see her sweet face. Along the way, I also went to visit T, whose baby is also very very cute and is growing up so big so fast! I turned 32, which I suppose was inevitable. Today is my sister’s birthday, and it’s too bad I couldn’t stay in GA to celebrate with her. Then again, however, I am very happy to be home again with my love. Whenever I go out…

So, I decided to try out this SlimQuick stuff that I keep seeing on TV. You know the ad where the cartoon drinks water and shrinks her tummy? Well, I bought their 7 day “Cleanse” program and started it earlier this week. The problem with it so far is that you have to take four pills twice a day. Yes, 8 fucking pills a day! Now, on the back, here is what the warning says: Choking: Taking this product without adequate fluid may cause it to swell and block your throat or esophagus and may cause choking. Seriously? Nice. Of…

Okay, so don’t get too excited… she’s not here just yet. But she’s coming soon! Mom called yesterday to say that my sister-in-law is going to have to have a c-section, so the doctor went ahead and scheduled it for next Tuesday!! I can’t wait! I can’t say this is my first niece, because my sister has a daughter. However, when she was born, none of us knew about her. We all found out after the fact, so we couldn’t really be there for her and experience the day she was born like we will be able to this time….

In a meeting with my new critique group, we had a discussion about genres. One author, who I’ll just call KA, is already substantially published. She has at least three books already slated to come out this year! I feel privileged just to be working with her and learning from her. Anyway, she writes category romance, mass market paperback. She wants to break into a single title suspense market, but once you are well established in one market, it is difficult to make the big switch to another. So, that got me thinking… where do I want to start? I…
