I never blog but I want to. I really want to. I was talking to Carol (of The Chosen Onefame) and she said she had the same problem. So we decided to see if wecould guilt each other into it by blogging together. We're going tohave readers of the week, book reviews, writing exercises withgiveaways, author profiles/interviews, guest bloggers and then regularblog posts where i talk about diapers and people.com. I hope we canreally do this.
Come see.
If you want to be interviewed/donate a book/have a book reviewed/discuss your personal issues, just let us know. I'm serious about this. [Best Bra-Scene Ever Charlotte, I'm looking at you].
I'm going to try to update my website more and will probably double post my blogs/reader of the week interviews, etc. Please go over there and leave a comment so we are motivated to keep going with this thinkg. It will be a festivus gift for me and Carol.
Okay.
The end. Throwingupwords.wordpress.com |

Dear My Life,
How are you? I'm okay. We've been living at my
sister's house for awhile because our new old house is not done or near
done or will be done any time soon. That's fun. Sister is very nice and
they have a new new house with heat and soft carpet and a big large TV
that plays pinocchio and Tom and Jerry and Mickey Mouse on demand.
Heaven.
One day my husband had a birthday. It was last week. I got
him a big mac to celebrate. With cheese. Does cheese come on a big mac?
Did I make a fool of myself at the drive thru when I said "Big Mac with
cheese?" Didn't think about it at the time, I just really wanted to
surprise him with an extra special treat. With cheese.
Another day I took a shower.
And
then another day we went to Thanksgiving Point and saw the new soil to
market exhibit that is MORe than awesome. Plus there was a worm farm,
some chocolate milk and baby rabbits.
None of these days had any writing. Except for the grocery list that was actually quite literary. I tried to show not tell.
Oh
and I had an awesome interview with lovely friends Sara Zarr (New Book
ONCE WAS LOST released on that very day!! Can't wait to read it) and
Emily Wing Smith last Thursday. It will show up sometime in Salt Lake
City Weekly. My hair was very sleek.
I think that's almost all of everything.
I
hope things are going well for you. Like you aren't so depressed that
you wish you were rollerskating in hot pink sweat pants instead of
scraping off wallpaper and being impatient with the people you love. I
also hope you are eating healthy foods that are made with things like
carrots. Maybe we should get together soon for lunch or a swim or
something.
Much Love and Marriage,
Ann Dee
P.S. Please attend to two year old who is crying that he has "a lot of boogers, Mommy. Get them, get them."
P.P.S. Remember how Debra Schubert has a blog and had an invited guest on her blog
named Daisy Whitney and Daisy listed  Everything Is Fine
Reading level: Young Adult Hardcover: 160 pages Publisher: Little, Brown Young Readers (March 1, 2009) Language: English ISBN-10: 0316013641 ISBN-13: 978-0316013642
as a part of
her YA indoctrination list? Remember that? That was the best. Thanks
Debra and Daisy. Do you want to come to lunch or for a swim too? Okay.

The first day of college, I almost threw up. I don't even remember what
the classes were, what the homework was, how huge the professors
seemed. All I remember was I wanted to die.
So I called my mom.
BAWLING.
I'm coming right now, she said.
What? I said, mid-sob.
I'm coming to get you.
Fifteen minutes later I was in her car.
Where are we going?
You'll see.
What about work?
It's fine.
Then she pulled into the movie theaters.
My mom and I saw GI Jane at 1:30 in the afternoon on a Monday afternoon. We even got popcorn.

I met this fabulous young lady along with her fabulous young friend a few months ago at a school visit. 
Her
name is Siera and she made me laugh even before we met (through email).
She and Brittney (the fabulous friend mentioned above) were my
assistants? during the visit and made the whole day worth it. We had so
much fun and they are seriously two people you would love to hang out
with. Siera is smart, insightful, kind and like I mentioned before,
hilarious. And I knew all this from just spending a few hours with her
(and her emails helped a lot). She is going to talk first and then next
week (cross fingers) Brittney will be up. Enjoy! |
