First True Day of September

I know there are folks who are sad to see summer go, but let me say definitively…I am not one of them. I am a spring and fall girl, really. Winter isn't terrible, though the heavier rainstorms do scare me a little. But myfavorite day, of all the days of the year, is that first true day of September. The day summer break and the sky is gently overcast until around 2 pm and I can start my day with warm tea and a sense of coziness.

It is also, I might add, the day I no longer need my air...

Out On The Town…

You know you don't get out enough when you consider getting groceries a hot date.

Believe me, it's not easy to express to your partner either. "Hey, Baby, you look unbelievably hot standing next to those refridgerated eggs. I've never wanted you more."

Note: The guy in the beer-stained shirt perusing the sausages across from us was at at least appreciative.

Anyway, did my errands and made a to-do list and came up with some good mental notes for Tate. Oh, and my wii-fit status is showing nearly ...

Cool Pool

I don't get out much, as you can probably imagine. With the big heatwave going on, I'm out even less. Which paid off yesterday in a couple of ways.

Bubba's school–See, there was an error at the district about his program. They had him auto-reg'd by address and not reg'd by his education plan. Which means they wouldn't have had him in an autism program. Luckily, the angels in the district are on his side and he's now lined up where he belongs.

I was also home to recieve a curious email from...

Woo-Hoooo, They're HERE!

There's just no words for the excitement of a box on your porch, especially when you know what's inside.

BOOOOOOOKS!!

Even more, when the miraculous books inside…have your name on em!

Okay, yeah, it's a yay-me post, sorry, but I'm SO excited! Why? Because the books that arrived are "Burn For Me", which releases in print next month!! That's Raul and Penelope's story and man, I just LOVE this story. Plus, hot Mexican guy on a big fiery cover. What's not to love?

Lookie, lookie!!

Been Writing…

You know how it is when you have to figure out the best way to meet everyone's expectations? I find this is a constantly changing goal. That or my own expectations are too high.

That's a real possibility.

I've been going over a lot of my daily duties and trying to sort out what needs to be part of my day or night. Especially with school out, it's easy to get pulled in too many directions. Right now I have some priorities set.

Feed the kids.
Write–Tate first, then a few other proposals including ...

New Tools

Hey gang!

I've discovered a new way to post! I can do it remotely from my iPod, which leaves me virtually no excuses for not posting. Well, you know, apart from doing nothing interesting.

Speaking of… I've been struggling of late to stay online. First, my airport plug died and started taking casualties. Can you say "fried router" cause I had to. Twice. Muy unpleasant. We have awesome wireless router now, but I think my aging laptop is having some trouble hanging on to signal. It just randomly f...

It happened Again…

Nope, I'm not pregnant. (At least I better not be.)

It appears yet again, I've driven a piece of computer hardware into the ground. My Airport is no longer doing wireless signal. It THINKS it is. But it's wrong. It won't allow anyone to join it, so I spent the better part of yesterday trying to reset it. To no avail.

I sit here, shamefully attached to an Ethernet cord.

If it's indeed broken, it will be the second Airport I've killed. The first lasted 5 years. This one, apparently 3...
