Woebeblog

Yeah, I just made up that word. It describes my sad state of affairs these days -- not just with blogging, but computing in general. Yesterday my trusty little laptop had a bit of a fit. I got that sorted out, only to have my Internet connection go bonkers!

Up and down, all around -- God, it was like chasing a buzzing mosquito and boy, would I have loved to smack it around some. Every time I tried to post a comment, the connection would drop off and I'd lose the comment. This had been happening on and off for the past few weeks, but last night it did my head in!

All this to say, it's been a right some trying time (as they would say in my neck of the Canadian woods). Thank goodness Valentine's Day was in there, along with some strawberry infused champagne and lovely yummy cake. Then, there was lovely news that The Times article, previously published in January, had made its way into the Ottawa Citizen -- along with a photo of moi! It was so cool to be told by some of my best friends who live there that they'd seen my picture in the Sunday paper.

Also -- it's less than a month to the paperback launch of The Hating Game! The week of March 7th, I'll be hosting a par-tay extraordinaire, giving away lots of stuff to say a big THANK YOU!

Please bear with me as I attempt to have a smackdown with my Internet connection and comment on blogs again! Happy Tuesday!
