You gotta blog, you know? Really, everybody is doing it and for once, it’s OK to be doing what everyone else is doing. No blog? Get one. What a great way to blah, blah, blah your life for the rest of us to yadda, yadda, yadda about. For writers, it’s critical, IMHO. Readers love to know more about their favorite …

Vacation weeks go by so quickly, don’t they? I had a great time yesterday visiting with Colleen Coble and Diann Hunt. We talked, ate, talked some more and laughed a lot. We have the same agent, so we took a picture together. I told Colleen to send it to her with this title, “Your favorite clients.” I’ll post the picture …

It’s the end of day two. We flew in yesterday and spent the evening relaxing, dining with Tony’s sister Sally and her husband Jose and son Che. The cat’s run from us, but the dog, Molly wags her tail and whines. She loves us. The weather is beautiful. Sunny and cold. The snow is melting, but hopefully it’ll snow again …

I drove the mile over to Publix this morning without my seatbelt! Daring! Gutsty! I know. Breaking the law, yeah, well sorta. Sorry about that. But I confess it’s my own little passive agressive revolt against the idea that lawmakers think they are doing society a favor by requiring them to wear seatbelts, all the while burying their head in …

Yeah, a thing. Spoke at the Ladies Winter Luncheon at church. Small crowd, but we had fun. We dressed Styrofoam Snowmen with items from our purses. It was so funny to see what people came up with. Sheree, Chelle and I worked together to dress our Snowman. Gum box hat, money belt, shredded paper skirt, velt bag cape, gum buttons, …

The summer of ’77, we moved from south Miami-Homestead area to Tallahassee. I worked at the Cutler Ridge Publix and the Saturday night before we moved, the entire store threw a party for me at Denny’s. Even the Manager came. Now would that happen today? Not! My then boyfriend, Pete Ramirez, had a couple of friends, Kevin and Bob. They …

I woke up at 5:21 this morning. No, take that back. I got UP, as in out of bed, at 5:21. I woke up before that, tried to sleep, but couldn’t so I decided to get up, make tea, pray, (ooh, house is cold. Change blanket for robe and flannel pants), drink tea, read Bible, fry an egg, toast a …

I’ve noticed lately that I’m not cold all the time. Finally. Five months after leaving Harris Publishing and the refigerator they housed us in, my body has adjusted. I can no longer ride in the car, sun beaming in, windows rolled up and the air off and my sweatshirt on. I can go into a restuarant without hauling in my …

Tony’s gone up to the Randy Clark meetings at Our Father’s House. I’m home writing Lambert’s Peace. Actually, I’m writing my blog, but shhhhh… I luncheoned with Allison Wilson today. We reviewed the 2004 conference manual. It’s bigger than War and Peace. I’m still in the process of hiring a coordinator. I’ve probably spent 40 hours on that this past …

What is it about starting a new story that breeds procrastination like pollen in the spring? Dang. I am dragging my heals on this Lambert’s Peace story, but I want to write it. In fact, I already have a chapter by chapter outline, so it’s not like I don’t know where to go. Christmas tree is still up. That should …
