  1. Why I'm on FB so much today: I don't know what will happen after Chapter 3.Time to outline. Have I mentioned how much I hate outlining?

  3. New Moon's morals: "If you get dumped, act suicidal to get boyfriend back. Kick friends to curb when he does." http://tinyurl.com/ycxleyb

  5. "It makes no sense to suffer in advance a misfortune that may never occur." From Isabel Allende's INES OF MY SOUL. Easier said than done.
  6. Oh no they didn't! They gave the Sun-Maiden raisin lady implants and a makeover. Seriously, will it never end? http://tinyurl.com/yhjaufw

  15. Just watched my daughter dance her little heart out on a difficult solo. 1 show down, 2 to go. Heart very full. Now off to son's bball game.
  16. My brother's new column at Creative Loafing! http://tinyurl.com/ya6zrug
  17. My "baby" is back from her school trip. The fact that she is almost as tall as I am and hardly missed me is irrelevant. She's still my baby.
  18. Thanks to E. at the Carlos Museum, a wonderful Egyptologist will vett a non-fiction manuscript WIP for me. Price? Margaritas all around!
