Monday Chuckle
Slept GOOD last night, could have slept longer, though. Four day weekend coming up - whoo-hoo!
Do Me, Do My Roots by Eileen Rendahl is an awesome book. Not exactly chick lit, but really warm and sad and funny about three sisters. Highly recommend. I met Eileen in NYC while we were waiting to get into The Today Show (we were all late!) and she was so nice. She has three more books out now - Balancing in High Heels, Un-Bridaled and Petals on the Pillow.
I've decided I have to rewrite about 40 pages from the book from scratch, BUT I know what I'm going to do and it should help me expand the 50 more pages I need as well. Now, if it was only Thursday....
My friend Kris sent these to me - enjoy!

Good luck!!!
Isn't it nice though when you finally think--this is what I need to do??? And it all comes together???
Thanks for the chuckle!
Those were cute!!! I too came to a lightening bolt moment regarding my WIP. No scratching pages yet though.
I LOVE that book! I didn't know she had more out.
good luck with your pages and enjoy your short week.
Enjoy the upcoming weekend! My Spring Break is coming soon...
Ooh, sorry. Didn't mean to drool all over your screen.
Glad y'all enjoyed! I didn't get any writing done yesterday with the plumbing stress (not that I did anything but worry) but I am anxious to get back to it. I'd like to send it to Emily by my birthday.
Great quips!
And that's my favorite pic of Gerard Butler so far! I like my men arty and sensitive looking.
Yep, Esri, it is a good pic! I'm hoping to inspire JoAnn....
Oh, and 24 - just....I want to know what they were thinking. And now Kiefer is signed for 3 more years....what else can they do??
