Thursday Thirteen: 13 Ways to Celebrate International Women's Day

Sometimes, the topics just sorta fall into your lap, don't they? Today's Thursday Thirteen coincides with International Women's Day and most of my readers (at present) are women, so I thought I'd share
Thirteen Ways to Celebrate
International Women's Day
1) Enjoy some mimosas - these flowers are the symbol of International Women's Day (at least they are in Italy).

So, I offer you my heartfelt and sincere apologies for the lack of my regular...

Thursday Thirteen: 13 Reviews of Ask Me if I'm Happy

This week, in light of the fact I'm doing a live interview on Blog Talk Radio, I thought I'd do a little bragging and share some positive news about the book I'll be discussing there tonight.
