First Row Glee – and ME!

Those of you who follow me on Twitter know I spent last Sunday night at Radio City Music Hall for the final GLEE Concert Tour stop. I wish I could say I got the tickets solely for my 14 year old daughter, but I must admit I'm a GLEEK too. I can't sing for my life, can't carry a tune, have no real sense of rhythm, hated Chorus and band, and yet I'm totally and completely hooked by this show. So I couldn't resist the opportunity to see the cast perform live. I thought it would be fun....

My News

Change isn't easy. Especially for someone like me who values continuity and security. Two weeks ago, in my Artist's Way Update Blog, I mentioned that I recently made major life and career changes without telling you what those changes were. I know it felt like a tease, but honestly I needed to put that in as part of my blog about the Artist's Way process, but it was too early for any kind of revelation.

My old bio read as follows:
"NY Times Bestselling Author Carly Phillips sold her first b...

GREY'S ANATOMY 101

I'm having a rough week. My grandmother passed away on Sunday and I'm a bit overwhelmed with family right now.

So visit HERE and enter for a chance to win a copy of GREY'S ANATOMY 101. You have until midnight tonight and the rules are as simple as ours on plotmonkeys. Visit and comment – What's Your...

Artist's Way Update

Not sure how to compete with Julie's Wine Blog. And I've been away for a few days and I'm really fried. So I'll give you a few tidbits about my Artist's Way Class. I'm really enjoying it. Even the morning pages. I've been writing pretty faithfully in the mornings, but I haven't been good about the Artist's Date (making a date with yourself to do something alone for an hour that you'd enjoy). I'm not sure why. I really think that because a) I made major life and career changes (to be...

I didn't … I did … Ipad!

[image error]I did. You know I did. I said I would. Then I wouldn't. Then I ordered. Then I canceled. Then I ordered the middle size one. And changed it to the largest. 3G. You knew I would. What I didn't do was wait in line. Why why I could have it delivered to my house? Which is why the lines in the mall shocked even me!

So I know you're dying to hear my thoughts on the ipad. And even if you aren't, I'm going to give them anyway.

A Fun Find!

[image error]
A band. Seriously! Hubby and I saw this fantastically talented group a few weeks ago. We also saw them last summer. Each time, we are just as blown away. They are phenomenal. The music is exactly what I like to listen to – check out their set list – and everyone at the event really gets into it, dancing and enjoying.

And everyone wonders, are they really Amish? I hope you find this as fascinating as I do: Yes! They are, and the full explanation is here. In essence, what they say on...
