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…
I know I’m insane, but I can’t help it. I love American Idol. A new season starts tonight, and I am anxious to see how the new judge, Kara DioGuardi, works out. Having another woman on the panel is going to change the dynamic somewhat, which is something show desperately needs. I wouldn’t have minded if Randy Jackson was gone anyway. Last year, I think his only comments were, “It was aight dawg. It wasn’t my favorite, but it was aight.” and “Man, that was off the CHAIN!” I wanted to see at least a little bit more from him…
Time is a funny thing. Sometimes you can feel like you have tons of time, so you procrastinate and do the things that seem important today. However, next thing you know, time has fooled you and suddenly that thing you thought was far off is here, and you’re unprepared. Does this ever happen to you? It happens to me all the time. I put things off for later in the week thinking that I have plenty of time to get it done. Then, the weekend rolls around and I wonder where in the hell the time went. So why am…
