I am being published!

I know! It just reeks of excitement, doesn't it?  I know what you are thinking.

"Who would publish that woman's thoughts?"

The answer is a lovely little outfit called www.blog2print.com. In other words, I haven't been discovered. I am no closer to being a published author than I was yesterday EXCEPT that by Christmas I will be the proud owner of my very own blog book!

I know. It's a little anticlimactic but here's the cool part. My friend, Becki, found me entertaining and directed me to a blog called www.josikilpack.blogspot.com.  She posted a little coupon code for 20% off which was supposed to end last week. Apparently, the code is still good and I saved $14. That said, you know it isn't exactly the cheapest way to get published but it's the best price I could find on publishing my blog!  And it requires very little technical know-how.  And that, my friends, tickles my heart.

And, for a small price of your integrity and dignity, I will share the code with you!  All you have to do is comment that, on occasion, I cause you to chuckle, grin, or force Coca Cola through your nose. If my thoughts resonate without tickling your funny bone, go ahead and tell me that, too. 

I'm going to go ahead and use the honor system.  The magical code is:  fall4b2p  

We're talking shamelessly begging for validation here, people.

  1. I think that is AWESOME. Consider yourself validated!

  2. Shameless, sure...get in line with that desire.

    Chuckle? Check
    Grin? Check
    Resonate? Check
    Coke through the nose? You think I'd waste Coke that way?

    Please let me know how the book turns out!

  3. So how much is the book costing you even with the coupon? I looked into printing my blog and it was OUTRAGEOUSLY expensive.

    Oh and I never laugh when I read your blog. Nope. Never. Not one little snort. Humph. Take that.

    OK, sorry. I don't know what's wrong with me today. I'm being mean and ugly for no apparent reason. So YES, I guffaw at your blog on a daily basis you comedian you!

  4. Do I laugh? Yes. Do I smile? Yes. Why, I've even cut and pasted something I wanted to remember into my own journal! I found you through a 'friend of a friend' and keep coming back because you're so interesting.

    Thanks.

  5. I've been meaning to make my blog into a book. I should for Christmas!

  6. If you are the least bit unsure of my undying love for you at this point, then you're just not paying attention.

    I love this bloggedy-book idea. It will be so much easier to blackmail my son in the future via page numbers than blog post dates. "Take out that garbage unless you want page 43 to end up in your high school yearbook..."

  7. Consider your ticket validated on the funny train. You rock, I enoy.

  8. It is an actual fact that you have forced Coca Cola through my nose. As well as Pepsi, milk, cocoa, milkshake, coffee, fruit punch, and even a little bit of frozen yogurt. That one was probably my favorite. It had cookie crumbs in it.

    Congratulations!

  11. I randomly came across your blog a few months ago and I have been chuckling at(with) you every day since!

  12. I tried to get mine in book form too but just couldn't figure it out. I will check this out...I need simple.

    Now you should send yours in for a real publishing deal for all to read. You are one clever girl.

  15. Oh that is so cool. I would love to do something like that, but ... I have so much more yet to write ;) Even better that you get it cheap(er). And yes, you make me giggle!

  16. I knew you would get discovered! Very cool on publishing and thanks for the coupon code. And you know I think you are incredibly witty and altogether hilarious!

  17. Yes, as my three year old now embarrassingly likes to say, you are "freaking" hilarious!

    I especially like the honor system part!

Pioneer Trek

Utah was founded by the Mormon pioneers in 1847 after enduring unimaginable losses and seeking a place of peace. July 24th marks the anniversary that the first wagon trains arrived in the Salt Lake Valley. Their numbers were greatly diminished by crossing the country in wagons and handcarts, dying of scurvy, tuberculous, malaria, starvation, unidentified fevers, and freezing to death. This, they found preferable to facing the extermination order put forth by Governor Boggs of Missouri. I believe this is the most courageous act of faith - to leave all they had that was familiar and travel the rough terrain in the unknown in search of a place where they could worship in peace. My daughters left this morning for a small re-creation of what the pioneers experienced. I don't love the idea since I know so many of the pioneers died but it is a way for many of the youth to connect to their ancestors and understand what many of the early members endured for their faith. The youth were asked...

How To Be A Dedicated Neurotic

Going through old files from graduate school, I found an invaluable pamphlet. Be a Dedicated Neurotic Remember the Past. . . and Regret it. Abhor the Present. Dread the Future. 1. Become preoccupied with the body, and make a long list of symptoms. Make them sound very clinical and professional... 2. BLAME your boss, your spouse, your partner, your neighbor, your kid. THEY are responsible for your miseries. 3. Feel trapped. You couldn't possibly declare your own independence without hurting someone's feelings. 4. Overeat. Rationalize and eat! Eat an insulated wall around yourself. Diet for a few days and say it doesn't work for you. 5. Self-pity. No matter what, feel sorry for yourself. Agonize over things about which no one cares. 6. Don't ever try. That way nobody can really accuse you of failure. You can always say, "But I could have done it." 7. Stress how shy you are. Insist that the world must come to you. You're special. 8. Your agg...

Flu

The flu has been making its way through our family.  The first to be hit was the 15 year old.  She was very, very angry.  At me.  She had been begging for the flu shot for the past three months.  I kept forgetting.  She got better but it's one more thing to discuss on her future therapist's couch. Today I picked up my 5 year old from school.  He told me about making valentine's for his friends and how he gave his valentine to his best friend, Chase.  Chase is the little boy who grabbed my scarf on my way to my car today, looked at me earnestly and yelled his telephone number to me so fast I couldn't process it then ran away. "Today I felt so sick." "Why didn't you call me to pick you up?" "I told Teacher but she didn't call you." "What did you say?" "I told her my head hurt and I felt dizzy." "What did she say?" "She told me I wasn't sick." I took mental note to talk to his teacher about c...
