Book Share

I joined a book share through sevenclowncircus.com.  I thought it was brilliant.  I gathered a stack of books I'd read, enjoyed and wouldn't be using anymore and boxed them up.  Days passed and I started feeling guilty.  I finally wrote to my partner in Florida.

I just wanted to let you know that I have the books I am sending you boxed up. They look lovely in the corner of my living room. I thought about wrapping it, addressing it, and getting to the post office all day.

But then the dog ran away so I went chasing her through the neighborhood.

Then my 4 year old became velcro.

My 12 year old got in a "mood" and she engaged in no less than 8 fights before she took a nap.

The dog threw up in the kitchen.

The dog started digging her way to the neighbor's yard.

My IBS (LOVE that I get to boast this one!) started acting up.

The 4 year old had an accident. Both kinds.

Worked four hours (the most relaxing part of the day).

And those are all of my excuses.

Oh, yeah. Don't be surprised if you also receive a 60 lbs. yellow lab. Her name is Sunday.

There will be no return address on the package

-Nancy.

The 10 year old boy talked me out of sending Sunday to Florida.  His reasoning was that sometimes his brother irritates me but I keep him so I have to keep the dog.

I did finally send the books but I included a hairball from the cat as a teaser.  My partner never wrote back.  And I wonder why I don't have any friends.

  4. You make me laugh. If it doesn't work out I'll be your book buddy. We can exchange hair balls.

  5. I'll be your friend. I'm perfect, I promise. I promised a bloggy friend a box of dresses four months ago. *sigh*

    They're not even boxed yet, but collecting dust nicely in a neat pile in my room.

    I'll understand completely where you're coming from. Pinky swear.

  6. I won't judge you - my Christmas tree boxes are still in the living room.

  7. Interesting technique you have for marketing your brand. That's just good, clean, niche branding.

Braces!

13 year old got braces today! She also had a little helper on her.

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 ...

Wordful Wednesday and Clever Much? Rarely!

Sometimes my brilliance blinds me! Speaking of brilliance, before we continue this discussion, if you are my mother in law, stop reading. Walk away. At least until after Christmas. Seriously. My own mother doesn't read my blog. I think it has something to do with words like "socially awkward" and "mortifying." She knows me. She doesn't have to read about me. She can just pretend like I turned out normal. Anyway, if the mother-in-law has exited the website, check out what she's getting for Christmas! TADA! I'd like to give a special shout out to the internet and whatever site I was cruising through last week for planting this idea into my head. Usually not this creative and I definitely don't know where I got the energy to take the kids out for pictures. Or go to Walmart for the frame. And Robert's for the mat. Costco for the pictures.  Yeah, I painted the frame, too. So not my style. Anymore. I also ordered a canvas print for my husband but I...
