Facebook Woes

So. I had to clear the caches on my computer to fix an email problem. Email problem solved.

New problem. That logged me out of all my accounts. Most of the accounts were easy to log back into. All except one. Facebook.

It says it doesn't recognize me. It sends me code numbers to get back in, then says the code numbers are wrong. And yet while not recognizing me, manages to send me emails about Frie Read more of this blog post »

“It never rains in Autzen Stadium!”

Anatole France
“Until one has loved an animal, a part of one's soul remains unawakened.”
― Anatole France

“I'd breathe for her. I'd see for her, hear for her, and feel for her. I'd even die for her. Thousands of times. If I could see her smile at me one more time, it would all be worth it. Just one more time. Before I completely fell apart.”
― Tiana Dalichov, Purification

“Fear is a natural emotion in life, but you cannot let it dictate your actions. When you act out of fear, you will only meet failure. But act out of determination to conquer that fear, and you will succeed at anything. Maybe not the first time, or the second or third, but eventually—as long as you keep trying—you can conquer your fears and succeed.”
― Tiana Dalichov, Purification

“For many people, life is full of pain, suffering. It doesn't consist of clear blue skies or fresh green grass that's always greener on the other side. It's filled with hardships, grief, betrayal, and death.

These things define the human condition.

They define the sort of person an individual grows up to be, once those tribulations have, for the most part, ended.

But what truly defines you isn't the fact that you have seen death, known the feeling of betrayal by someone you trust, or watched as something you loved was ripped out of your hands.

What truly defines you is the way you reacted.”
― Tiana Dalichov

Hi Ann! :) Oh, yes, we enjoyed The Perfect Guy so much! And I got the review done and posted! :) Like I said in it - it's a great summer read! :) That's cool about the setting in Connecticut - we feel like we got to visit there. Thanks again! :)
I totally got the "Ann with an 'e'" reference from Anne of Green Gables :D

Ann♥♪♪♪♪ Hi Ann! :) Thanks so much for the friend request! I saw it waiting for me and I was like "Ann Herrick - the author of The Perfect Guy?!?!?!" :D A sib of mine and I read The Perfect Guy last year and loved it - thanks for writing it! :) I'm hoping to post a review soon - I'm behind in reviewing, adding books, and posting on here!!! Thanks again and hope you're having a great summer! :)

Ann Herrick Nice to meet you too, Holly.

Many of my books are similar (though in an updated way), while some of them are more serious (though still having a romance at least as a subplot). I plan on updating Practice Makes Perfect (my first book, and a YA Keepsake) with a new title to be released some time next year. Love all the opportunities for second chances for out-of-print books.
