Horrified Press- Are you KIDDING ME?

Recently, I have been involved in a facebook discussion about a specific company and their practice of not providing contributor copies to the authors that work with them. Now, initially, I didn't even jump in to the conversation. I simply watched with interest as several authors and the publisher hashed it out. However, I started …

Explaining My Absence

This week has been a super busy one. ViSalus business has been taking off, my kids are CRAZY, and my 85 year old grandfather was admitted into the hospital on Thursday. I met a personal goal of mine with my ViSalus work, and then helped a friend meet hers. That was terrific and we have …

A Little V.A. Mayhem

Today was a very, very, VERY long day. Not really an I've-been-working-all-day-on-lifting-boulders-the-size-of-Kentucky kind of day. More of an I've-been-sitting-in-office-chairs-all-freaking-day-long kind of day. My husband and I spent six hours at the Veteran's Administration today. That was for three appointments. My husband, who has been awake since 9 am yesterday morning, was running on 32 hours …

Hot Dog!

Tired, in Anticipation

I have gotten a lot accomplished in the last few days, and Chris let me sleep in this morning and he got the kids ready for school. I got to bed at a decent time last night and I woke up right before the bus came to collect the boys this morning. I am still …

Busy, Busy, Tired Mumma…

Today was a very long day. Spencer had an ultrasound on his head. Let's talk for a second about holding on to thirty pounds of solid muscle as an ultrasound technician squirts goop on his head and puts a wand on the soft spot on the top of his head, trying to see his brain …

Rejuvination

I am feeling extremely satisfied with today. It was beautiful out and I got a lot accomplished. I don't remember whether I mentioned, but I had a wire shelf fall on my head the other day. It was designed to store scrapbooking stuff but apparently not the way I built it. I tried to remove …
