Home again, home again, jiggety jog
Well, my friends, the trip to Boonsboro, Maryland, and the fabled Turn the Page Book Store, was just plain magical. Jenni and I flew out of Spokane early (very early) on Friday morning, stopping briefly in Salt Lake City before jetting on to a landing at...
Part 2 or until the glitch, whichever comes first
Moving on from yesterday's blog: What I'm reading, in actual print: A wonderful new memoir called WITH OR WITHOUT YOU, by Domenica Ruta. Reviewers have compared this book to one of my absolute, all-time favorites, THE GLASS CASTLE, by Jeanette Walls, and while I...
Whoopee, it’s Monday! (No, I’m not kidding.)
I love me a Monday. A whole lovely week ahead, like a blank sheet of paper, or a fresh canvas, or a book I know I'm going to love but haven't started yet...or.... Well, you get the idea. I do enjoy a beginning. 🙂 (As long as it's the beginning of something good,...
It’s Friday again? You’re kidding me….
Where do the days go??? Five minutes ago, it was Monday! I had the BEST writing day yesterday--really made some progress. I plan to write today and take the weekend off to do crafts, watch videos on Joggles.com, among other sites, and listen to at least one...
Today’s news from the Triple L (so far)
I got up early today, in order to have plenty of time for my spiritual practice and still get in some hefty chunks of writing time. I lit candles--I love the mood candlelight creates, especially when it's dark out--a sort of cozy reverence that settles my ADD-riddled...
Surprise! Blogging early for once 🙂
After scanning your comments, here are my replies: 1) Mea culpa! The name of Nora's store IS "Turn the Page", and Boonsboro (misspelled?) is in the great state of Maryland. I will be flying into Baltimore. 2) In my humble and not particularly original opinion,...
Busy Monday
First, I'll announce last week's contest winners: Jana Vincent and Patti Belew. Congratulations, ladies--your autographed books will be on their way tomorrow. As always, a new contest begins today, so be sure to comment. Maybe next Monday, I will be announcing your...
Thursday Catch-up Blog
Well, now, where to start? I guess the first thing will be the weekly Weight Watchers report. I was up 4/10ths of a pound. No panic, though--I did take a look at my portion sizes and make a commitment to be a tad less generous. 🙂 The thing is, there are always...
Sure enough
A big part of today's blog got sucked into the black hole of cyberspace. Errrrgh! This is a brand new computer, so I'm blaming the internet itself. To recap what I wrote before, my great-nephew, Gibson, is doing well. I think he's still in the hospital, but he's...
Evening blog
I had planned on writing this blog entry first thing this morning, but I got caught up in the new book instead--I'm loving this story, though I do wish it would go just a tad faster :). I so appreciate all your comments and kind words about THE MARRIAGE PACT, and...
Sunny Morning on the Triple L
Greetings, Parablites. (Parablonians?) 🙂 First, last week's winners: Teri S and Evelyn Dinunzio. Congratulations, ladies! For those of you who are not, alas, Teri or Evelyn, do not despair. The new round starts today, and all you have to do is comment. What...
Good Morning, Parable
Well, so far, so good. Nobody has died or hurt themselves, knock on wood. A very promising sign. Our contest winners for last week are: Lizzy Gaasenbeck and Jean Browning. The new round begins today, so here's a routine recap of the rules. All you need to do is...
