Grocery Shopping

I hate Plumb's. Nothing is ever where you expect it to be. Meijer, on the other hand is farther away and HUGE. So unless I want to take the Meijer hike, I will take a small list and risk Plumb's. Unfortunately, it never ends well...

Two, two, two mints in one!

I'm guest blogging at Desert Island Keepers today... with over twenty comics!

I posted about my guest appearance on Writer's Evolution.

....Hey, it was a lot of work creating and posting all those pictures.

Can't tell you too much, but....

After a fantastically HORRIBLE day yesterday, I got two great pieces of information!!! Now this weekend can actually begin!!

What happens in New Jersey...gets posted

So, I'm back from the conference and I'm sharing... Oh boy do I intend to share! Let's get this thing off right, shall we? I'm gonna start off by saying, in my defense, I really put myself out there for my craft. I'm just sayin'...

Starting to get worried

about the Authors After Dark conference. I'm not someone who does public appearances. There are very good reasons why I don't. The idea of being out and about where there are cameras and people who blog with pictures makes me very, very nervous. I'm thinking I should show up with a bag over my head.
All the group photos would be so great, wouldn't they? Heh. Anyway, I'm trying not to stress out too much. I'll just smash every camera I come into contact with. I'll also try to be highly knowledgeable when it comes to discussing my genre. I'm nothing if not an excellent faker of knowledge.

On the other hand, if I lay low, maybe no one will notice that in person, I'm not nearly as in your face as I am in bloglandia.

sigh.

Nothing for it but to show up.

So this took me a lot longer than I expected...

...but basically, I worked solid for the two days before I went to California and didn't have time to post the promised blog. I'm good for it though and it's the first thing I did ON the airplane and after I arrived at Julia Rachel Barrett's house. :) See how much I love you?

Do you KNOW what kind of looks obscene comic creation gets in a packed airplane???? NO, YOU DON'T! But I do it for you because I love you.

I had to share my ungodly experience this week with my new doctor. Keep in mind that the tests, labs, etc that had been run, were completed by "Cindy" and "Beth" in the OBGYN office. It wasn't until the results came in and I was told I had to meet with the Clinic's ONLY doctor, Dr. Pauls, that I began to sense I'd taken a fateful turn into The Castle of Mia's Fantasy.

Oh yes, yes I did.

Please to listen to my little tale....
I'd like to take a moment to point out that the nurse in the office with us, was doe-eyed and fawning, too. As it turned out, so were the three women in the back office area who are in luuuuuuurve with Dr. Pauls.

SINGLE, YOUNG, SEXY, SMILE-FLASHING and EYE-TWINKLING Dr. Pauls of the panty creaming association... Yes. That hot.







This is the point where I flash forward to next week's internal exam with the the sexy, Dr. You Can Call Me Nate Pauls. And I imagine that appointment in great detail... the smile. The twinkling eyes. The engaging dimple and deep chuckle. All this as he positions himself...

And I realize... I'm in trouble. The man makes my entire body happy and I need NO assistance keeping that particular visual of him, at that particular location, focused on that particular place and the lovely way his face is framed between my legs as he looks up and our eyes meet across my....
I've decided that when I go back next week, I'm going to position a daisy just so.... just for him... right THERE.

So. I'm dating again...

...and trying to be creative about it. I figure, I've depleted my "warm market network" of acquaintances and former coworkers and neighbors and... well, you get the idea. Trying something new. Want the short version??
