Going postal…grr!

So, yesterday I had to go to the post office, and I had to actually stand in line because I was shipping internationally and haven’t yet figured out how to do that with the automated postal machine.

About six months ago, for reasons inexplicable to me, the local post office got rid of the little paper number machine (which I fondly remember from an ice cream store when I was a kid; perhaps folks thought they were getting ice cream?) so now you have to stand in line instead of sitting comfortably

Tainted cover!

Still waiting on the finals of Torn and Turned, but check this out:

All About Romance’s News & Commentary Blog » Blog Archive » RWA D.C.: An Insider’s Guide to the City.

For those of you going to RWA’s National Conference in DC this July, All About Romance has a great guide posted! (And if you go, find me and say hi! I’m coming in on Thursday, this year, so I won’t be at the literacy signing, but I’ll be around!)

Buy a shirt – help create a library in Africa! And get one of my books for free!

This is from a friend of mine, Alyson, who is about to graduate college and go spend two years in Africa! It’s a great cause, so if you’re inclined to help, please do. And, hey, you get a shirt from Alyson … and for those of you who donate as a result of this post (i.e., you send the money to my PO Box or my paypal account, as set out below) I’ll send you a book from my backlist. Feel free to specify which book you want, and I’ll do my best to accommodate, but I have limited copies of some ti

Summer bod …

I have discovered the downside of life as a writer … more particularly, life with deadlines: the mantra Butt In Chair also means Butt Spreads Out. And because my jeans are no longer fitting the way I want them to (and because I have conferences coming up where I will have to wear more than pj bottoms and tank tops) I’m determined to lose at least 5 pounds (10 would be nice — I’d be back to pre-baby weight!), and tighten up some flab.

Open my pages and take your fill.

“Open my pages and run them o’er,

Take what you choose of my golden store.

Be you greedy, I shall not care -

If Homer’s Odyssey Was Written On Twitter | www.holytaco.com.

This is a hoot. Clever and fun … So, let’s see.  That means that within the last year, I’ve read an adult translation (don’t recall by whom), the Mary Pope Osbourne version for kids (which are awesome by the way), and now the 140 characters at a time version. So would Homer have been a Twitter fan?
