Not too much here. Sitting on pins and needles to find out if I got this job that I've been studying for for a couple of weeks. I passed two parts out of three of the exam I had to take, now just waiting to see if I passed part three and if I got the job.
awesome! Good luck lorrea. I had a goodreads friend read one of my recent book reviews I did recently and is going to check the book out of a book I did called Black Star Canyon the complete first season. I thought that was cool cuz I've had people read my book reviews but never tell me that they liked them or that they would check it out.
One of the best books I have read for a while is Pillars Of The Earth by Ken Follett.
Mod
Wasn't there a tv adaptation of that in the last couple of years? Hhmmm I'm probably thinking of something else.
Yes there was, didn't do the book much justice though IMHO :-)
Mod
Can imagine a lot of detail being missed.
Mod
For her work in Rheumatology.
That is fantastic news Sean. Many many congratulations to your sister :)
What an honour for your family Sean, raise a glass for me.
Mod
She is in France, as usually doing another speech in front of a group of doctors.

Sean, is your sister a doctor? Could you tell us what the OBE is and what the Queen's honor list is? Sounds very impressive, so many congratulations to your sister!

Questions from above, each year the Queen agrees and approves of nominations put forward for members of the public and celebrities who awarded for their work in their field of work and also their charity work.
Some are knighted, some are made Dames, some win the OBE, or the MBE.
the OBE "The Order Of The British Empire was awarded to my sister for :-
My sister was a nurse and now travels the world top do speeches and talks on her subject below.
Yesterday at her top hotel in Paris, she was applauded when it was announced to the doctors and nurses her had come to listen to her talk, so proud.
Mrs Susan Margaret Oliver, Chair, European League Against Rheumatism Healthcare Professional Standing Committee. For services to Rheumatology Healthcare.
PS Angelina Jolie was awarded an special Dame.
So now can call herself Dame Angelina Jolie for her work in charity. (an honorary as American).
It's now Sir Daniel Day Lewis.

Sean, how very, very impressive. I am sure you couldn't be prouder!

Sorry I have been absent these past few days. I had been studying hard to get a job and I am happy to say, I got it!! Now, that I am in it, I'm learning the ropes and going through some training still. So far the work is enjoyable.
Congratulations! Lots of pressure in job hunting (and in starting a new job, for that matter), so best wishes to you in your new endeavor.

Thanks everyone. I feel truly blessed to have found this job that allows me to still stay home with my babies.
Mod
I've never had a signed copy of anything either :(
Neither have I. Well I take that back, my cousin who had an acting/singing career in the 80's gave me a signed picture of herself.
Hey DA am doing great and yep. Totally excited for June 28th as I signed up for the 2nd Night of the Storytellers show for my friend's online radio show Charred Remains and I submitted an audio excerpt and cover of my AbyssFantastical YA Horror Fantasy web serial that I wrote here on goodreads for it. I did an excerpt from chapter 1 that'll be 3 minutes long. I'll have a reading played on there with other authors who will either be doing a live or prerecorded reading so if you guys want to listen in it'll be June 28th at 9 eastern 8 central that night at this link: http://www.blogtalkradio.com/charred_... . I'm excited about it. and am writing a sequel for it right now too which is set 5 years after the first one and chapter 3 goes up on Saturday. I'm still doing well on my reading and stuff too.
Thanks DianeAlice. The show archives so you can listen to it the next day after it is up on the 28th. and thanks. sorry I was quiet. :)
Lorrea,Congrats on your new job. Boy, am I envious. i'd give anything to have a job, making money at home. How did you get so lucky??? Can you share what you are doing?
There are so many scams out there ---- I rarely search anymore.
Well, I am back from Missouri. What a terrific trip. Had a ball with my kids.....enjoyed an awesome Father's Day......and found two houses we simply fell in love with. On the 2nd day, the one I favored SOLD for cash and was taken off the market. WAAAAAAAAAWe are not ready to buy yet --- we have to sell our current home first. But, soon as it sells........you can bet David and I will be hopping in the car and making tracks to find another home.
Glad to be home, sleeping in our own bed.
Welcome back Ter'e, sounds like you had a great trip, good luck with house hunting!
Mod
Missed you
Hi guys! Happy Sautrday! I'm waving frantically at you guys w/ a big loopy grin on my face... It sets a mood. ;)Anyway, found this neat site (considering how behind I seem to be lately, 99% of you are probably already using it! But I try. Lol) called Book Alarm. You enter your fave authors' name & your email address & it'll send you an alert when that author has a new book out.
