Crash....Only half an hour into newspaper delivery this morning. Four way intersection with only two stop signs. Who was the brainiac behind that rockin' idea? Guess which intersection me and the other guy were in...yup...the two unprotected ones. It hit my husband's side and smashed the window that was, thankfully, rolled down. It could have been a lot worse if we didn't see it at all. We got

...so it's not hilarious yet, but a girl can hope.My husband and I just added a second motor route for the Lincoln Journal Star job we have at ghastly hours of the morning. That tallys up to about 100 stops on the route. Our '99 Oldsmobile Aurora with iffy breaks and 18mpg in town, at best, did not like it so much. This car has over 150k miles on it. We moved, with three trips, our junk from Fort

National Novel Writing Month came to a screeching halt on the 30th of November, but I sure didn't end it with a bang. I barely made it to the finish line before I crashed. Last year I got to 50,051 with my novel. A poor plot line with room for a bit of fluff, but barely salvageable I believe. This year, I just made it in on time with 50,003. Three words over. This time, though, my novel was a

NaNoWriMo, I have discussed this before and even given you a few teasers from my 2006 novel She Learned To Smile that reached 50,051 words on the final day of November. This year, my novel is called A Memory In The Snow or The Memory... I'm in limbo right now, and is nothing like my first novel, except for the fact that it is again geared toward romance.I am a little behind on my word count this

September 7th came to my knowing at 5a.m.; I needed to find my silver serving platter, pack the iron, get my lint roller and pack Daniel's cowboy hat. By 7:30 I had a five minute crash course in tie-tying and by 8 all of our things were packed in my mom's car and we were on our way to pick up my aunt. 8:45 had us at the Party Barn and unpacking, getting ready to set up. My brother and his family

Smorty is fun to say. Try it, you know you want to. ...Okay, now that we have that out of our systems, I want to share with you some information about the newest blogging company I have signed up with. Smorty, as with all of the get-paid-to-blog companies, work with both advertisers and bloggers; I, myself, being a blogger. Smorty was easy to sign up with and approved my blog at lightning speed.

For those of you interested in National Novel Writing Month (NaNoWriMo for short.) I want to give you a small excerpt from my first NaNo (Yes, the title gets abbreviated even more.) that I wrote for the November 2006 challenge.I reached the 50,000 word goal in the 30 allotted days and exceeded it by a few dozen words. The working title of my novel is "She Learned To Smile".Keep in mind that this

Polly was a Miniatur Schnauzer that apparently craved freedom.I got her for my sixteenth birthday after we had lost our Min-Pin/Beagle, Abbie, to a nasty car accident.Polly was all black with just a hint of silver on her chest and back toes. We never got her the standard Schnauzer cut, but simply shaved her crazy curly hair every few months. She loved to get muddy, play around, roll in the grass,

My youth pastor has told me that even healthy people need counseling because we all have issues. It is nice to have someone to vent to, someone that isn't emotionally attached to your issues. Someone who won't get offended, will guide you and support you.I talked to my counselor again today. We talked about how life is weird. Weird is the only word for it. "Life is strange, people are weird, G-d

Absurd Homeschool Q & AOkay, so all homeschoolers know that getting asked strange and unusual questions comes with the territory, but the longer you’ve been homeschooled the more you get. So how does one go about answering the strange and unusual? Well, with a lot of stuttering because the questions throw you for a loop, but after the fact is when the perfect answers arise. The following are all

"...G-d is up to something really cool," that's what my youth pastor told me in his email the Sunday before last when I first emailed him asking for help. It's also what my counselor told me at our first meeting when I was out to lunch with her today."A day, like today, that is really hard, might one day be looked back on as a special day. Meaning you letting go and asking for help could lead to

My dear cousin, Shelly and I have entered the hallowed winners circle of NaNoWriMo 2006!!!My story is called She Learned To Smile and I achieved the 50,000 word goal, exceeded it even, by 51 words. It's a rough draft, but it's there, and I am so proud of myself for sticking to it and accomplishing something so big.I didn't have faith in myself, honestly, I am rather ADD and never thought I would
