I'm doing well, thanks for asking. I'm presently consumed with work and house hunting. I stopped taking my meds and decided to buy my first home. But seriously, have fun, eat your veggies and enjoy your summer!

Aki.

1237196 "That is what learning is. You suddenly understand something you've understood all your life, but in a new way." — Doris Lessing

If you substituted 'therapy' for learning, the quote would be just as powerful.

570489 Heya Thinker...

I got tired of people shortening my name to "Char" so I've adopted my screen name from my other blogs to encourage people to call me "Daki" instead, like everyone else does in my life.

How's things shakin with you?

777958 I am a vegetarian but the "roadrunner" comment refers to my addiction to traveling (in the states and abroad). But I do walk a lot, and I'm fast. Does that count???

630905 Thanks for the friendship, Thinker!

Here’s wishing you a fantastic day filled with fabulous fates, fanciful festivities, and frolicking phantom footstools.

I was wondering if you'd do me the honor of reading about my debut novel, Vacation, which recently made the Bram Stoker Award Preliminary Ballot. Your support would mean a lot to me. If you'd like to do me this honor, feel free to vist my site here:

Happytimes,
