Thank you. Now I just have to deflate my head and keep working. My mantra for today is

'must remain grounded'
'must remain grounded'

Oh stop pretending.

You right now:


:p

[G.G.]

That's great Jane! What a great feeling. :)

My something good? I just received a Christmas card from UK. An internet friend of mine (Bisky) sent it to me. For a surprise, that was a nice one. Never expected that. :)

[Christina]

Everything. Seriously. It's my birthday, it's not even noon, and I've had a massage, two new reviews, my birthday promo got a running start out of the gate, not one, but TWO birthday robots, and I've got dark Belgian chocolate and sea salt truffles. What more could I ask for?

Ah, yes. Thirteen is a good age.

[Christina]

LOL! Wait! I've finally graduated past twelve? Does this mean I have to grow up now?

You have a TON of years to go before you can be a grown up.

[Christina]

Thanks guys!

And Whew! Growing up is overrated. ;)

Happy merry and bright.

But. Remember.

Nobody needs to grow up. Be like me. I'm growing old disgracefully...

[Christina]

Ha! I like that, Jane. I shall join in the disgraceful act of growing old.

[Thomas]

I woke up to an uptick in numbers which is exciting.

[Carole]

Happy Birthday, Christina and many, many more!

[Kristin]

Happy Birthday Christina :) Have a good day!

[Christina]

Thanks! I got birthday nachos, so I guess there *was* more! ;P

[G.G.]

Happy Birthday, Christina. I know I wished it to you already but one more time isn't gonna hurt anyone!
So you got Nachos for your birthday lunch! Nachos's good!! hehe

7 days since the the release of my debut poetry book, and today, so far, I've got more than 300+ Likes on Facebook, 200+ followers on Instagram, the ebook version is out, I've got my first review exchange offer, and I've joined this group and glad to have found this thread. Happy! :D

[Dwayne, Head of Lettuce]

I went to the Laundromat today. It wasn't busy and I did not have to enter The Thunderdome and battle anyone for a machine. So, it was a good day.

That is a happy day/week! Welcome to the group. I just joined, myself, yesterday ;)

Love it! My washer broke this summer and it took 3 weeks to get the right part. I have a genuine fondness for the 3-load capacity machines at the laundry mat now. They are a lifesaver.

[Christina]

Welcome both of you!

Dwayne, I'm imagining underground fighting rings located at every laundromat. The only way to get the good dryer is to win.

If you mean a review swap, just remember, they are not allowed on Amazon, Goodreads and we do not encourage them in this group.

Happy Birthday Christina!!

I really should have done something with that and Del Brewer, huh? Well, maybe in R*** 2. (Name withheld to avoid a bookwhacking situation).

Oh shoot! Happy Birthday Christina! Sorry I was oblivious to that bit before.

[Sam (Rescue Dog Mom, Writer, Hugger)]

Happy Birthday Christina!! Enjoy your day!! ((((( Hugs )))))

Yes! Plenty of laundry fodder.

I have to take the big blankets and rugs to the laundromat every so often and our local place has a game room with one of those Capcom classics machines so I have to bring enough quarters to lose several rounds of Ghosts and Goblins.

[Nathan]

Happy Birthday Christina! Judging by the day you had, I'm guessing it was great.


I got a head-swelling review today from Rose Collins. Still feeling it!

For some reason I see Dwayne standing over a pile of bodies with a freshly dried shirt on that says "Get rekt!"

Something so precious happened to me yesterday. I apologize to C.B. Archer who started it, for my delay in showing my gratitude.

C.B. started a thread to shout out to me and many wonderful members added their sweet comments. This made me cry and then brought a huge smile to my face. What a generous and wonderful for C.B. to do!! Then again, that's just who he is, a Caring and Beautiful person. Funny how he created that thread after I'D pestered HIM for information on drawing software and devices.

I truly appreciate all the kind comments from the wonderful members of this group, of which I'm grateful to be a member. So though this happened yesterday, I woke up with a smile on my face today. : )

[C.B., Beach Body Moderator]

:D
It was well deserved Sue. You are doing a lot here and touched many people!

Also, it isn't pestering, it is helping! I am always glad to help where I can.
Also, Yes, yes I am generous, wonderful, caring, beautiful, and most of all - modest! The most modest ever in fact! :D

That's lovely!!

Some of you have been following my drama about my books not getting to me in time for my book launch - well, Createspace sent me an email this afternoon saying they had finally shipped, and when I clicked on the tracking number, UPS said it had already been delivered - two hours before createspace even sent the email. Maybe Amazon delivers via Tardis? Either way I'm not complaining! Heading out to the post office tomorrow to pick those books up. I'm so relieved. I was feeling so depressed and stressed over not having books at my launch. My biggest anxiety is looking incompetent/foolish so this is a huge weight off of my shoulders.

[Sam (Rescue Dog Mom, Writer, Hugger)]

So glad your books have been delivered, C.L. Great news!! Hugs

[Sam (Rescue Dog Mom, Writer, Hugger)]

Awe... shucks, C.B. You've got my cheeks resembling Blush #6, the highest of the blush shades. ; D

Alexis, Thank you!! Hugs

Glad all will turn out to be ok in the end. Good luck with the signing. :)

I got my first fan art, inspired by one of my books, from a fellow author today! Thank you Kimberlyn Day. I've got a warm fuzzy feeling, and it's not from the beer I'm having with dinner either. :)

Congrats! I love fan art and wish I had drawing skills to make some for my favorites.

Ooooh that's a day I'm looking forward to! Congrats!

The first print copies of my books arrived yesterday! They look so beautiful and I'm so happy to finally see my name in print. :D

[Alexis]

I stopled feeling miserable about my upcoming birthday (1,5 hour to go) and the universe gave me a hell of a chapter as reward. :p

[G.G.]

Well Alexis, early happy birthday to you! and a 'hell of a chapter' is good to take any time but even better for a birthday! :P

[Melissa]

Holy cow my new book is actually selling and being read! There's actual lines on the graphs of my sales report!

[G.G.]

Congrats Melissa! That's incontestably the best part of being an author. To know our work is being read. :)
