CHAPTER FOUR: Okay then!

So I sit here re-writing this post about five times wondering how to say this and then saying to myself there is no need and it will do no good anyway. This is not a place to fight and if you want a fight lets do it somewhere else.

We (Karissa and I and some other authors) are in the middle of a Moppet Tog sale. This is a huge children's clothing and other stuff sale. Lots of moms and potential readers. Karissa is doing a Scentsy booth and we have a table for StoneHouse. I promptly lost my vo...

CHAPTER FOUR: Here it is!

First off, if you don't like my church or someone else s church... KEEP YOUR MOUTH SHUT!!! You say you are loving and kind and are not judgmental yet you are the one who bashes on other churches and go on about all the terrible things they do or believe. Last I checked this is still a free country so think what you want but don't go all I am holy and loving and stick other Christians in the back as you say the words!

The church nursery is for your kids so they do not make noise in the service....

CHAPTER FOUR: Bah!

It is amazing how fast a cold can hit you. I was feeling fine yesterday and this morning... well we have all had the bug at one point in our lives so I need not go into the details. Thus Kayden and myself stayed home and got all sick on each other and I managed to get some rest. Not much but some.

So as I sit here not feeling all that spunky I find myself wondering if a good rant will do it or if I should bow out. The problem with a rant is that I have a few this week to pick from.

Tell you wh...

CHAPTER FOUR: You know you are getting old when...

When you start getting misty watching Astro Boy...

When you groan when it is 9 am...

When you hurt after going to the mall...

When you think 10 pm is late...

When you don't care who you fart in front of....

When you go to Wal Mart in your sweats...

When you say things like... when I was a boy...

When reading in bed is not only fun but cool...

When you look at drink your breakfast instead of eating it...

When you tell everyone how you feel...

When you read a ling post on old people...

When you keep read...

CHAPTER FOUR: Lions, tigers and... E-Books?

So you might be asking yourself about this E-book thing everyone including yours truly is talking about. What is a E-book and why are some scared and some excited?

Here is the good old down low or shall we say new down low. A E-book is a book that you can download to a Kindle or a Ipad or even to your PC (Mac) or phone and read without buying the paperback or hardback copy. These electronic books are cheaper because they do not need to be printed, housed, shipped, handled and returned. For a p...

CHAPTER FOUR: MOWER FOR SALE... I will pay you to take it!!!

So what did I do all last year? What great thing needs to be done each week that should be fun but instead was hell on earth? What grows and by use of this supposed machine make your life easier?

That is right, the mower. I got this %#$@#^$ from someone who shall remain nameless, and was told that it was the "Top of the line blah, blah,... mower" Commercial grade blah, blah and so on. It does all this cool stuff like make coffee, plays music and gives you a back rub as you walk behind it in a...

CHAPTER FOUR:

Wow, time slipped away from me. I have been busy with working on four books that are going to print and just life in general. Excited to get my Airel book back from my Creative editor and begin working on it once again. I have been looking into some fiction writing classes at BSU as well as online. I want to try a few and see if I can learn at my old age...

This week has left me in a funk, my brain and emotions are all mixed up. One part of me wants to spit on the world and do what I think mig...

CHAPTER FOUR: Weird Day

Woke up at nine and church starts at 9:15. Soleil was coughing and so I stayed home with her. Kale was in a funk and the afternoon flew by and this is how it went. Sometimes I feel off as if the world is spinning all around me and I am standing still or maybe even going backward. Today was like that...

Finished "The Time Machine." Not a bad book, kind of weird writing style, no dialogue and a lot of missing information. I had to read in between the lines and kind of guess in parts but overall ...

CHAPTER FOUR: Date Weekend

Got to go with Karissa on a group date that the Young Marrieds put on last night. We had great food and played some fun games. I took Soleil out on a little date this morning after a great workout at the gym. We got a coffee and a hot chocolate for her, and went to a local bookstore to pick up "The Time Machine" By Wells.

I am getting excited about Airel my teen novel as I am starting to get some feedback from a bunch of people who are helping out with the creative process. Good stuff and the...
