My to-do list has a to-do list

Tuesday, June 30th, 2009

Things are so crazy now that I have scraps of paper everywhere with notes to add such-and-such to my to-do list. The next thing on the master list needs to be to go around and find all the mini to-do notes.
Double-whammy. With a funeral Thursday morning and camp Thursday night, each in an opposite direction [...]

And it's Monday again

Monday, June 29th, 2009

I’ve been banging my head against the wall, trying to come up with something to blog about. Nothing. I’m pretty sure my subconscious doesn’t want to bump the cover for No Surrender down the page.
Once the doc’s all finalized, I’ll get an excerpt up. In the meantime, I decided last night DG4 will be Connor [...]

SK meets Joey Logano

Friday, June 26th, 2009

Last night NASCAR driver Joey Logano visited our Home Depot (one of the few positive things about sharing a highway exit with the New Hampshire Motor Speedway) and off we went.

Fluff, it does a mind good

Thursday, June 25th, 2009

I love summer vacation. I really do. I love all school vacations because 1) there’s less for me to do and 2) I enjoy the company of my children.

Wednesday, June 24th, 2009

I’ve been knocking my head against the wall all week, so now I’ll throw it out there:
I’m looking for some kind of barbeque side dish that would either be simple to make or travel well (it’s for an event at the campground and our cooler is not large, though we have a full-size fridge there).
Small [...]

A Box of Becoming Miss Becky!

Tuesday, June 23rd, 2009

Look what I got yesterday!

I also received an email letting me know a reader had received her copy from Books-A-Million! It has a July release date, so that was a very cool surprise. It also seems to be showing as in stock at Amazon and Barns & Noble.

A sheriff with a stone-cold reputation. An [...]

A peek in the weekend reading bag

Thursday, June 18th, 2009

I just packed the bag with the family’s books for the weekend, and I thought—in lieu of having anything else to blog about—I’d share what we’re all going to be reading.
Mom:
True Love and Other Disasters by Rachel Gibson. (I struggled the first few pages with the extreme Anna Nicole Smith association, but that faded and [...]
