Bookworms Unite! discussion

Also per Alondra's great suggestion, I thought it would be a nice to discuss those positive happenings in our lives. After all, there's no need to dwell on the negative, right?

Have fun, everyone, and remember: no negativity in this thread.:)

I wrote a little bit more today! I've been working on about 5 different things off and on. I guess at least one of them will be finished someday. :)

Either it's highly ambitious, or I've developed attention-deficit disorder.

Yeah. Either or, right?

I think it might be that I have ten bazillion ideas swimming around in my gray matter so I have to write them down before I forget.

I applied for a new job!!! Took me 3 weeks to finally fill out the application, I was afraid of the "test" portion of it...turned out to be evaluation of my own skills and experiences as a teacher.

It was rather quiet on the Triage Line today. Not too many crazies; no mommies having contractions; and no bleeders. Awesome day.

Thanks Alondra!

I ate a whole bunch of burritos for supper.

Thanks Cuz:)! We shall see how it tastes once the bday girl slices it! I wish it were easy to share a "virtual slice". I totally would. Even if the perfectionist in me is unhappy w some of the decor.

Aw, you're welcome.:) I appreciate the sentiment. BTW, I'm a bit of a perfectionist, myself.

Congratulations! :)

Briefly had a girlfriend and, though we're broke up, we remain close friends. First ever for me.

Don't feel weird! My husband's one cousin is about a year younger than one of her aunts, and I even know somebody who has a niece who was born before they were.

My dad had an uncle who was the same age as him :)

I am pleased as punch I got my companies 4th quarter and yearly tax stuff done today. I also completed all of my W-2s and 1099s and handed out. That is a huge stress relief, I so hate end/beginning of the year when it comes to work.

Now I can just return to the daily stress of managing our practice and believe it or not that is a good thing! LOL

Oh good for you Lee! I was happy to get the 2011-12 tax done just before Christmas but still haven't done the 4th quarter returns - hopefully I'll be sharing your joy soon!

Good luck with getting yours finished up! I am now off in search of coffee... LOL

:) I can't help but get excited for J.S. and her writing endeavors. I love to support my friends as much as I can.

And like I've said before, J.S., if you're ever in my area (Washington state,) just let me know. as I'd LOVE to attend a signing.

Perhaps someday my travels will bring me to your state. Currently, the closest I have ever been to Washington is when I was in Los Angeles for a few hours back in '09. (True story.) I've been to 18 states and all but two of them (AZ and CA) have been in the eastern half of the country.

And thank you for your support! :)

I just got done posting an interview with another author buddy of mine, and I managed to format my blog post without having to take a sledgehammer to my laptop! Though I came mighty close...

Yes!! hahahah... congrats :D

Good thing: I found Daffodils on clearance today. They were sitting on the rack with no clearance tag. the lowes employees said it was a mistake, but a mistake in my favor, since the containers were busted...woot-woot!!

also found $15 pots for $3 on clearance too.

In case you didn't know; I love gardening! :D
