Little known facts...

I have had one friend for 26 years. (I have other friends, but that's a record!)
My body is showing signs of aging, which is impossible because I'm only 18 or 19 years old!
There are days when I see my child and stop short of saying "who are you and why are you bothering me?"
Other days I see my child and think "wow, that's a really cute kid! ow... my heart is melting a little."
My high school's 20 year reunion is this summer. I would cringe, but I didn't graduate so it's not my reunion!! ha!
I did earn a GED and a BSW so I'm not a total failure. But that's just my ego talking anyhow...
I try and try, but the awareness and present-ness is a slippery slope.

love the Wal-mart

I read an editorial in a newspaper recently that people are complaining about the building of so many new Wal-marts. I don't know if the naysayers have seen the gas prices recently, but I'm very pleased to have a Wal-mart so close by now --- okay, so it's only 2 miles closer than the other, but hey... a dollar is a dollar. And don't you just love a brand new Wal-mart - clean shiny floors, new un-sticky carts that roll quickly and quietly in the correct direction, and friendly fresh employees whose spirits have not yet been broken. Everything is so neat and clean, bright and shiny, updated and modern. I even love the "green" aspects - those magical lights that come on in the freezer section only when you come near. It's the simple things that bring joy. Silly naysayers - instead of taking the time to write and send a letter to the editor, they could be basking in the wonder that is the NEW Wal-mart.

Wordy people

I've been trying for some time now to find a publisher for my first book. I've sent my story to random places and am finally getting responses. Not necessarily the responses I want, but kind and gentle ones. Which I suppose are better than mean ones. Those Editors (their secretary's I'm guessing) are saying very sweet things about my book --- using words like enjoyable, endearing, compelling, attractive.... But... Don't you just hate the buts.... feels like it erases all the pleasantry's beforehand. They are too busy or currently publishing only "Hannah Montana" or only educational books.
But alas, I shall continue on... I know that one day this book and the others in the series will be published. "No room in the Fridge" was truly inspired and I know it will be read by many one day.
