Normally I could care less, except I'll miss Greys anatomy tomorrow.<BR/><BR/>But, today is another day. Hopefully we'll get the financial stuff straightened out shortly so I can buy Christmas gifts (as I have barely started)... My husband's off work today and he let me sleep until noon (I never ever do that, I just didn't feel like getting out of bed today at all).<BR/><BR/>But I'll tell you what, Mary, we'll look at it as a string of bad luck that will pass because we can handle it...<BR/><BR/>I can't help you with representation for your mg novel, but I'd love to beta read for you, if you'd like. I'm writing mg, too, so I've become fairly familiar with it...<BR/><BR/>Oh, and how do you go shopping without a car? order your purchases or have them delivered... most stores will do that.Merry Monteleonehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09435956005780500310noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35866870.post-55489530448877216152007-12-12T05:18:00.000-06:002007-12-12T05:18:00.000-06:00I still haven't returned my blog favor -- that is ...I still haven't returned my blog favor -- that is one thing that is bothering me! Add to that:<BR/><BR/> 1) The car isn't working (speedometer won't register, plus it's making a weird clunking sound and the engine light won't go off.<BR/><BR/> 2) One computer has blown up -- luckily, not the one I'm using.<BR/><BR/>3) Our stove must now be lit manually and sometimes doesn't work at all.<BR/><BR/>4) I'm not receiving all MY e-mails either!<BR/><BR/>5) Both kids are home with bug, plus no one wants to publish my MG/YA novel...<BR/><BR/>6) I haven't done a lick of Christmas shopping.<BR/><BR/>Eek! How do I do really big shopping without a car? It's all a little too much for me right now...Mary Witzlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06458299046574564155noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35866870.post-19603326453793567992007-12-11T21:07:00.000-06:002007-12-11T21:07:00.000-06:00Aloha, Patricia!I was going to drop you a reminder...Aloha, Patricia!<BR/><BR/>I was going to drop you a reminder tomorrow. I'm going to post in the morning (I'm central time) but you can stop in anytime... being a blogging activity, people might stop within an hour or two days...<BR/><BR/>Should be lots of fun - everyone I've talked to has really enjoyed the book.

I actually do have a gmail account, I just don't normally use it... maybe I'll jump back in there and tool around and then send forwards to my address book to change them over... heh, provided they get the notices that is...Merry Monteleonehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09435956005780500310noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35866870.post-43505693529972834452007-12-11T18:17:00.000-06:002007-12-11T18:17:00.000-06:00I personally prefer gmail.

I switched to them because my other email address was also dropping a lot of mail- mostly from my husband and best friend. I haven't had any problems with that with gmail yet. :)WordVixenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01713637403798552713noreply@blogger.com
