Mr. Roboto

Did I mention I got a new phone? I haven’t named him, but he seems to respond to “pretty” and “robot.” Before buying the Droid I convinced myself that I had to have a phone with an actual keyboard, but after only five days I’ve already adjusted to the virtual keyboard, plus I love the …

What I Did

Thank you to everyone who played along last week when I asked What Would You Do? I have to complain about one thing though — several of you said you’d either call for directions or call your husband, but I didn’t have a phone. That was what made the whole thing SO FUN. 🙂 When …

Thank You, AT&T

For the second time in as many months, AT&T accidentally cut the phone and internet line to my parents’ house. Yesterday. The good news is Owen and I took a nice long walk on the boardwalk last night. Bad news — I feel COMPLETELY cut off from everyone. Gah! Hopefully I’ll be back online tonight.

WWYD?

Imagine this scenario: You’re on your way to your first day of a temporary gig that could turn into “something more” (I feel like a teenager saying that) and suddenly you realize you missed your exit. You plan to take the NEXT exit, but it’s closed. You continue on for DAYS (really about three minutes) …

You Tell Me

As those of you who chat with me on Facebook know, this week has been a bit hectic! When I was querying last summer I didn’t really talk about it on my blog because… well… I just don’t want to put all that out there. By that same token, I don’t like to talk about …

Where does it go? Yes, I realize I moved and I have a lot to get settled, but it’s beyond frustrating that after a month I’m still not getting the things accomplished that I want to get done. I’ve barely touched my novel, I’ve hardly written any articles, and I have a plethora of things …

On the Road Again

Don’t let that tree fool you. I’m totally driving down the highway. I’m off to Chicago to pick up my dad, but we won’t be staying. I imagine I’ll be in Chi-town for a total of twenty minutes, then it’s back on the road. ETA: My dad and brother missed their connection in Phoenix last …

Irony

Three years ago today my dad shoved the final box into my car and we headed south to Me-hi-co. (We also removed the toaster oven when we realized there wasn’t room for my file box. Talk about a decision I’ll regret for the next 1083 days.) That same day (it was a Monday) two close …
