  • Quick Tuesday update: I haven't posted an update on how Amazon selling is going in a while...out of the 64 items I've posted I've sold 40. I'll take that success rate, LOL! I've been taking a really good training class…

  • Hidden Places: The Problem With Adaptations

    Well, the television adaptation of Lynn Austin's award-winning novel Hidden Places wasn't bad, but it wasn't what I'd call stellar either. The strength of Austin's novel lies in the depth of her storytelling. Probably a …

  • The "Nanny McPhee" Review

    Lori #1 & I went to see Nanny McPhee last night because it's a Colin Firth movie (!!!) and the last two weeks have been heck for both of us at work. I had a salmon burger at Cheesburger Charley's which was VERY good,…

  • I'm sick with something (throat problems) but so far not sick enough to stay home from work (very sad, LOL). I downed an entire quart of hot and sour soup for dinner this evening...it had enough hot pepper in it to surel…

  • Random Encounters With Famous People...

    I got to meet Karen Kingsbury today, which was very cool. She was doing a book signing at the store, signing copies of her newest release, Even Now. She was also being nice and signing entire collections of her work that…

  • Manic (and random) Mondays...

    Quote of the weekend: "Why am I swearing in Yiddish?!" I will leave the context of said quote to your imagination as I'm sure the possibilities are more entertaining than the reality...LOL! Skating with Celebrities:…

  • The "King Kong" Review

    Daddy took me to see King Kong this afternoon. I really enjoyed it, but ohmygosh was it ever LONG! Peter Jackson could've cut a good half hour from the action on the island and would have still been left with his ape mov…

  • I forgot to mention that I watched Jim Brickman's Disney Songbook concert special that aired on PBS Monday night (I taped it). The CD is great, very nice listening. I really wanted to watch the special to see Linda Eder'…

  • So Toby sent Jenn & me two questions at work wanting feedback about how we felt regarding certain issues in fiction. Here are the questions and my responses...I am curious as to how any of you all would respond (espe…

  • I REALLY WANT TO SEE SOME SUNNY WEATHER!! I am so tired of gray skies and rain, rain, rain (I could never live in Seattle, LOL)... Went to see Last Holiday with Leah, Tosha, Tiffany, and Lori last night. We all loved i…

  • Prayer request: Please pray for my friend Sandra -- her husband Howell passed away today. He was quite ready to go "home" to be with the Lord -- and Sandra is an extremely strong woman, so I know she's going to be okay. …

  • One more reason I am weird: Tonight I discovered that the dress worn by Ann Miller in The Easter Parade during the number "The Girl On the Magazine Cover" was recycled and used in the film Three Little Words when Gale R…

  • So -- this is my stupid moment story from yesterday regarding cat shampoo. I decided to call my vet on my morning break to ask for a shampoo recommendation. I dialed the phone #, and as soon as a woman's voice picked up …

  • Note to Leah: This is the song I called you about this afternoon. The lyrics are here. (By the way, everyone go read Leah's latest...it's hysterically funny... ). I had to go to the vet to buy (get this) aloe and oatmea…

  • So this is what happens when you take a three hour nap in the middle of the afternoon -- you're up at 12:30 watching television and blogging. Hmm. I should at least do a load of laundry -- that would be productive (not t…

  • Robbie called and woke me up from a very pleasant doze this afternoon. I have to drop some stuff off at her house tomorrow, sometime before or after getting my hair cut (praise the LORD, it needs to be cut so badly) and …

  • Hidden Places -- The Movie

    Vegging at home in front of the television -- enjoying it immensely, thank you very much. LOL! Before I went to get lunch at Calypso and rent some movies (one of them being The Great Muppet Caper -- love this movie!!), I…

  • Watched Dragonheart on the Sci-Fi channel tonight, which stars Dennis Quaid of all people. It was kinda cheesy (I mean Sean Connery's voice coming out of a giant animated dragon named Draco?!) but fun. And the main them…

  • I have a dresser (shocking concept I know). The top drawer of this dresser is reserved for make-up, nail polish, vitamins, and other assorted junk such as those mini-flosses you get every time you go to the dentist. For …
