It is SO Monday
Okay, I had a blog all typed out and then it just DISAPPEARED when I loaded a stupid picture. AUGH. LOVE Wordpress. LOVE IT. (Actually I hate it and wish someone would nuke it off the face of the earth.) And THEN I set WP to publish it this morning and it ATE IT AGAIN!!! I don’t know what is going on but two things we can be certain: somehow gremlins are involved and WordPress STINKS.
Who even knows what my MIA blog was about. I’m sure it was the best blog post ever though. It probably would’ve changed lives just by it’s very existence.
So this weekend I saw a movie (big surprise). Watched What Happens in Vegas with Kutcher and Diaz. And in my humble opinion (IMHO), What Happens in Vegas SHOULD stay in Vegas. I didn’t really like it. It had some cute moments, but mostly I was bored. And wishing someone would cut Ashton’s hair. I also had some friends over for dinner so I would HAVE to clean my house. It halfway worked. My house is pretty clean, but if you opened any of the closets, it would take you until Christmas ‘09 to dig yourself out.
I have been LOVING all the emails lately. Keep ‘em up! I thought I would address a few of the questions I’ve gotten.
1. What do you do for fun? Assign detention.
2. Do you DDR? (And no, that does not mean Dungeons and Dragons) I am not so hot at DDR, but maybe one day, if I practice really hard and don’t let up on the dream. But you have to admit, there comes a time when you have to say, “I am too old for this. My walker keeps getting in the way.” And when that day comes, I will retire my DDR ambitions.
3. What does your dining room table look like? It’s a Dell keyboard. i eat over it every night when I email for hours on end write books.
4. What book are you reading right now? I’m reading the Enquirer and trying to see if Jessica and Tony Romo really did break up. Oh, I’m a big believer in only reading deep intellectual tomes that enrich the mind. So I’m currently reading War and Peace, the entire works of Emily Dickinson, and Shakespeare’s historicals.
5. How do you spend your free time these days? Voting for David Cook on American Idol.
6. How are you going to spend your summer? I will be writing a book in quick-like fashion and probably morphing into a stressed-out shrew. I will combine that zany fun with kitchen painting (which I will somehow find a way to screw up and turn into a three month project which will take me from shrew to full on Medusa), wtaching Gossip Girl reruns, and practicing my bi-yearly yoga.
7. What do you want to accomplish next? I believe in setting high goals for my personal improvement. So my next project will be to learn a new language. I’m thinking Canadian.
Have a good week. Just think–next week there’s NO Monday! Woo-hoo!

Oh, I want to learn Canadian, too. We can learn together. I’m so proud of you for #5. Happy Monday!
Haha, your life is so entertaining. And if you’re interested, I’m totally willing to teach you Canadian.
Lesson 1: say ‘right like ‘rate’
Lesson 2: route is pronounced ‘rowt’
I know, I’m a fountain of linguistic knowledge;)
Oh and I’m also planning a riot if David Cook does not win AI.
Yeah, I do email you, but there happens to be the situation that they DON’T GET ANSWERED!!! But I am proud to have asked the DDR question. It probably is the closest thing to an accomplishment I’ve ever done… other than keeping a malted milk ball in my mouth for 40 minutes. Yup, 100% true. My art teacher was curious… and who am I to deprive her of knowing how long a whopper can last?
P.S. I don’t give a crap who wins AI. Sure, they’re good, but I (unlike most of the female population) can only watch hot people sing for so long…
Canadian sounds pretty interesting, but I’m aiming for Greek (don’t ask why - I don’t even know).
I totally understand the whole computer-ate-my-document-thing. Only mine involved a couple hundred words in my wip (unsaved, of course), and I had to retype them all from memory. Sigh.
Finished On the Loose last week, and scared everyone nearby with my laughter. I love Katie’s inner dialogue and the scrapes she got herself into. I’ll really miss her in future books, but at the same time can’t wait till your next series. Blessings!
Oh dear…another painting project. You haven’t already done the whole house?
Just kidding.
Yeah for no Monday! It was bad enough today when I could have sworn it was already Wednesday. Oh no…its only Tuesday. So no Monday next week will be wonderful!
Thanks, Rhonda. I’d like to think my few votes are what pushed Cook over the edge to victory. All 12 million of them.
Gracie, I’m really sorry about your wip (work in progress, not to be confused with MS (manuscript) or PODIWO (piece of drool I’m working on). I’ve become a little obsessive about saving. BUT what I need to do is get a backup for my PC hard drive. They say it’s a matter of when and not if your computer crashes, and I would be crying if that happened.
And Julia, if you can only watch hot people sing for so long you must never come to one of my family reunions. We are terribly hot and sing like larks.
totally kidding.
Sarah May (just noticed the May trend, but I know at least ONE of you truly is a May), thank you for my first Canadian lesson. It’s as hard as I thought.
Laura, I don’t know what you’re implying with “another painting project” but my feelings are hurt. Just for that I will not be inviting you to my Six Month Painting Marathon.
I hate that! I get so annoyed when I write a blog and then *poof* it is gone. Or, when I’m writing a fanfiction or story.. and its lke 4 pages long, and I didn’t save it, and all of a sudden Microsoft Word decides to close itself.
&& Candian. Great language! I learned all my Canadian from watching Degrassi’s “Jay & Silent Bob Go Canadian, eh?”. Currently learning Japanese… much more difficult.
