1. Today I sprayed Blondie with water and she screamed (and cried). I said it was an accident. It was. Maybe. She squirted me first.
2. There might be a rat somewhere closeby. I think it lives up in the palm tree near the street.
3. I just finished a chapter with three scene breaks. I think it should be split into two chapters.
4. It's still relatively cool here. I'm enjoying it to death, because it won't last long.
5. If there were a prize for green lawns with brown patches, I would win.
6. I keep entering free book giveaways and never win. What's up with that? Someone throw me a bone. I have a family to feed.
7. I'm banging away on this novel, trying to finish by July 31st. Anything's possible... in Omaha. Too bad I don't live there.
8. The Nike/iPod running gadget is worth buying. It's cool, and almost accurate. The best part is when Lance Armstrong's or Paula Radcliffe's voice congratulates you on a new best in the mile. See, I told you it was cool. Buy it.
9. Took Blondie to the doctor today. Two shots = two round snoopy Band-Aids to cover "wounds", one princess bracelet (that was really a sparkly Band-Aid), four toys from the treasure chest, and a bright red lollipop. When I was a kid, the nurse strapped a cotton ball to my arm with a five-inch piece of tape and said, "See you next year."
10. I'm a little behind the times, but Looking for Alaska (by John Green) is entertaining. Read it, and check out his site.
...most entertaining:) And I'm diggin the new blog design, by the way. Well done.
ReplyDeleteAwww, poor Blondie.
ReplyDeleteHave you tried Paul Greci's book giveaway? He's focusing on books for reluctant readers - young guys.
ReplyDeleteBrown lawn patches are underappreciated. I'd take a patchwork lawn over the forced perfection of a golf course.
Elliot - Appreciate that!
ReplyDeleteRena - pity party. :-)
Robert - I'll head over to Paul's blog. Patchwork is underrated in lawns and shorts.
Thanks for stopping by, everyone!
1. Did you say sorry?
ReplyDelete2. OMGoodness...you should call someone.
3. Good job on finishing the chapter...don't think about it too long. Move on to the next chapter. You can make the changes later.
4. I'm glad you are enjoying it. :)
5. You might have Japanese Beatles. They make brown (dead grass) circles.
6. Bummer! I'm 9 people away from having a really random prize give-a-way...I'll cross my fingers for you if you enter. :)
7. You can do it!
8.I've got a bodybugg...it's cool too!
9. You got off cheap!
10. I'll have to check it out...
Have a good one!
Tracy, we have the same lawn. If you figure out how to make it all green, let me know.
ReplyDeleteSharon - wow, that's a comment and a half. Yes, I apologized to Blondie.
ReplyDeleteAmy - I'll keep you posted. Don't hold your breath. BTW - the backyard looks great!
Um, did you say RAT? Ugh.
ReplyDeleteAnd I think MY lawn could give your lawn a run for its money in the green with brown spots department. :)
Sounds like the summer is going well...but isn't it also going faaaast? Must write. Must write.
