Think Out Loud [51] May Daze


May has kicked my butt. 5 posts, that's all I've managed, 6 with this one. It started with John screaming that it hurt to pee. That issue took two weeks to resolve, two trips to the doctor (one of them being the specialist who took out John's kidney when he was 1), and a mohawk haircut. That's right, I wiggled a boatload of happiness out of him by way of a rockin' haircut, or he worked my mom-concern for him and negotiated a mohawk. Whatever. He's five. All five year old boys and girls should get a mohawk at least once. It's that cute. 
Then  my computer decided to freak out on me. I was in the middle of preparing ARC's for the third book in my Touched Girl series, and BAM, messages kept popping up, my computer kept shutting down and not starting up. And the really bad thing was that I could not call for tech support that week. I have a rule, everyone in my life actually has this rule for me, I am not allowed to call tech support or customer service during a certain time of the month (every month). Yep. Let's just say there was one time I was having a dispute with Chase over fraudulent claims on my account and maybe I called them thieving bastards. 
Then the very day my computer drama was resolved my clutch went out. Yep. I took it to the shop because the girl just had no oomph, which is how I described my car issue to the guy behind the counter. 
John is all better (and looks so dang adorable especially since he lost his two bottom teeth). My computer is fixed and the ARCs are out. And the first time I shifted into first after the new clutch was put in, I squealed at the power, grabbed the wheel with both hands and I'm not joking said, "I wanna learn how to race cars!" 
So it's all good, people. There are a bunch of review marathons in my near future and catching up to do on everyone's blogs. I've missed you all.

Quinn Ottaway wondered where you had disappeared to but glad everyone is more gooder now! Maybe pain-free peeing is something too many people take for granted? For me it was a simple penicillin shot to fix it all up at the local health department--I am just kidding!! Seriously, hope you do back up your important stuff on your computer. Regardless of whether you are "enjoying" your monthly visitor or not, thieving bastards is what Chase is

hope all is well

You cracked me up this entire message, Quinn! So right about Chase. They didn't even argue.

Glad it cracked you up, I was trying to be funny without crossing a line or offending :)

You're funny. Any big summer plans?

Quinn Ottaway I hope to get some writing done this summer and maybe getting to take you to lunch/dinner one day when you want to get away from the boys...? Also hope to get to Oregon and visit some family. You have any big summer plans?

I will absolutely need to get away from the boys. I have all this stuff planned for them just so that we all survive. Hey have you ever walked across the Narrows bridge? It's about 4 miles if you count the trek from the parking lot. I want to do that in June before it gets too hot. Every time I drive across I just want stare out at the water. I also want to make a drive to Oregon, mostly for research because I have a book that takes place in Central Oregon.

Quinn Ottaway ohhh I am intrigued about your book taking place in Central Oregon. I was born in Eugene and have family in Bend (do not really know them though).

I have not walked the narrows bridge although I have wanted to do that. I also want to do some photography from the narrows bridge overlooking the water as well. Much safer to enjoy the view from walkway than from the car while driving!! I will send an email to you soon.
