Thursday, February 28th, 2008One of my favorite books is Anne Frank: The Diary of a Young Girl. It’s a book I’ve read far too many times to count, and I get such a thrill when new information comes to light, as has happened occasionally over the years.
Most recently, a picture of her one true love, Peter Schiff, [...]
Things I Won’t Miss While in Scotland
Wednesday, February 27th, 2008There are many things I’ll miss while I’m in Scotland - my family and friends, Dorian Gray who will be staying with my parents, most of my books, some food items, I’m sure.
But there are a few things I can’t wait to get rid of and not see for a while:
1. My cell phone - [...]
Scotland and Geekdom
Tuesday, February 26th, 2008This damn near made me pee my pants.
The Good and the Bad
Monday, February 25th, 2008I think I’ll start this Monday off with the bad news:
That being that I finally heard back from Playscripts, Inc. and they declined to pick up Bethany and the Belfry Bat.
A bit disheartening, but it’s not the first rejection slip I’ve gotten, so my weekend mourning period is over. I haven’t decided what my [...]
Thank God It’s Friday
Friday, February 22nd, 2008I cannot possibly express to you how relieved that Friday is finally here. It’s not so much that normal looking forward to the weekend after a long week at work - at least not how I usually view the close of Friday afternoon.
See, I spend 8 hours a day on the phones helping people [...]
A Writer, I Am
Thursday, February 21st, 2008A recent post by a new online friend (and coincidentally a co-author over at The Grammar Police), made me give some thought to my own struggle with identifying myself as a writer and what I need, and very rarely ask for, as a writer.
I used to think that I could never refer to myself as [...]
Should the Bible be Read Literally?
Wednesday, February 20th, 2008I tend to get frustrated with people who read the Bible literally – mostly because I believe it blinds them to the overall importance of what is contained in the Bible. As stated in my previous TBatM post, it all comes down to not being able to see the forest for the trees.
I’m not [...]
I Dream of…
Tuesday, February 19th, 2008I had another weird dream Saturday night - I haven’t been having remembering dreams lately because I haven’t been sleeping all that well.
In this particular dream, I was going through in-processing at the power plant - for some reason they were doing the in-processing at night. I was with a bunch of other women [...]
Great Addition to Presidents’ Day
Monday, February 18th, 2008I found this article on cnn.com.
Check it out - it’s awesome and has lots of good advice from George W. (Washington, that is.)
Presidents’ Day…or Not
Monday, February 18th, 2008Oddly enough, growing up in a military family I never gave much thought to the history behind the different federal holidays – all they typically meant for me was a day off from school and generally a 3-day weekend.
With Presidents’ Day tomorrow, I thought it would be fun to look up the history behind it.
I [...]
