Hello, Yeah, it's been a while ...
... Not much, how bout you? ...
I'm registered with the Workforce Center. All my paperwork is filled out. All my ducks are in a row (I think) sometimes those ducks are tricky. Now I start sending out resumes and see what will happen.
I had a full busy Friday and Saturday - Saturday was the monthly writer's workshop at SouthWest Writers and the workshop leader was fantastic. Lisa Lenard-Cook has published a number of "Idiot's" books, two novels that have each won numerous awards, and her book on writing, "The Mind of your Story" is the Writer's Digest book club pick of the month.
I learned things about pacing that lit up bulbs all over my brain. Which is good. I needed something lit because I have less than two full weeks before I leave for Iowa and my novel isn't anywhere near ready to be workshopped.
I'm listening to oldies, mostly Air Supply cause, well, you just can't have too much sappy romantic music in your summer. I hope you're enjoying your Morning of June 9, 2008 as much as I'm enjoying mine. (And for those of you who pay attention to such things, I'm coming up on a significant birthday next week so I'm also thinking ahead to the celebration of that event.)
Life is good. Upon the recommendation of my children, I may go see Kung Fu Panda tonight.
... there's a warm wind blowing the stars around, and I'd really love to see you tonight.

So, you going to become a Kung Fu Fighter?
Kung Fu Panda looked very cute in the previews.
glad you got some good information on writing. pacing? can you tell us more? i'm interested! good luck whipping your draft into shape for workshopping!
So far, so good. For a Monday, it isn't bad.
"I'm not talking 'bout movin' in, and I don't want to change your life..." Glad to see things are going well for you. I miss reading you when you're not here. I've heard many good things about Kung Fu Panda too, so that will probably be my next movie. I love Mondays. A whole new week! Hope yours is good.
Did you say they're in St. Louis? I do like that zoo
@BoureeMusique - They are indeed in St Louis, and to be honest, I'm ready for them to come home so I can blame them for the clutter that has NOT gone away just because they are out of town.
That is one of my all time favorite songs!!!! Seals and Croft, right?!? Oh my gosh, I love that song! "And I'm not talking 'bout movin' in"...
Just here to see what you're up to!! 
I love listening to oldies music....the 70's was my decade and I'm still stuck there.
Sounds like a good weekend for you.
You are in my thoughts and prayers with all your upcoming "adventures". Hope you make some great plans for your B-day!!!
"Get ready to feel the thuuunnnnder!!!!"
Hugs, C.
Good luck as the resumes start going out. IT's good to have the ducks lined up.
Sounds fun...what you're learning about the writing.
Pacing is probably a great concept for all areas of life.
Oh...man...I guess it was good you didn't hear about the storm until it was over, eh?
Oh..yes..I want to see that movie, too. Looks funny!
Here's some props for YOU.
want to look at iowa stuff tomorrow nite????
I am definately interested in some Kung Fu Panda!
Wondered about the guys when I heard the news but figured we would have heard some kind of wild screams or Xanga news alert if anyone had been in any kind of real danger!
that's one of my favorite songs of all times. and it's going to be in my head all night now.
Its been one heck of a week for me too! Tornado after tornado, and thunder, lightening, hail - you name it - we've had it. Record breaking (since early 1900's) flooding too. *sigh* Seems like this spring has been quite nasty weather wise. Thankfully all is well and everyone is safe.
Your not the only one who loves Air Supply! I do too, and Phil Collins, Grease (of course), Anne Murray, and so many others, I'd bore you to tears lol.
Blessings, ~Helena
That's England Dan and John Ford Coley, no?
Yeah, I knew that was right!
