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 …

Horizon
Owen and I took a walk along the Grand Haven boardwalk last week (well, I walked, he got a free ride) and managed to catch the beginning of the sunset. I’d forgotten how nice it is to face due west over the water.
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 …
Time
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 …
Happy St. Patrick’s Day
Do you know what else today is?
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 …
