Okay, so there isn’t actually film. I’m sitting in the lobby of the Dolphin hotel on the Disney World Property. One thing you can say about Disney. They’re subtle. This has to be one of the most OVER THE TOP lobbies I’ve ever been in. Okay, so I’m not a huge world traveler and I …
Okay, not totally terrible, but I went down to the Dolphin lobby early because I wanted to meet people, find someone to chat with, you know, hang with lovely romance writers. Well, it turns out that if you have a computer in front of you and your fingers are flying across the keys, people “think” …
Tuesday didn’t go so well, or it went great, depending on how you look at it. I got Sword & Illusion edited (or at least I worked on it for an hour), then I read my husband’s book and critiqued it for an hour. Then I took my little Netbook and went to the carpool …
Yesterday started out a bit rough. I was a little angry at the world and my family in particular. I woke up all excited about my new plan for my career, but then Beloved reminded me that I need to edit Sword & Illusion first, then read his book. I figured out as I drove …
It’s been a rough fall and winter at the Brandt household and much of it seemed to fall squarely on my shoulders. Mainly, I guess because I’m at home and I was the one to whom a lot of the medical issues attacked. A couple of weeks ago, Beloved said he was going to give …
Last weekend, 14 Mar 10, we went to a St. Patrick’s Day parade here in Baton Rouge, and like every parade I’ve been to here, it was more about beads and dancing to great or not-so-great music blaring from long trailers decorated in some tangential way that kinda reflects whatever theme there is carrying people …
Right after Christmas, I began to feel that we were coming out of the tunnel of trouble that had inflicted this family. Then I stopped taking my thyroid meds for the radioactive thyroid scan and that affected my emotions and the sciatica came back. Since then, my mother-in-law ended up in the hospital with a …
I’ve never been a big fan of the phrase “it’s not fair.” I mean, after the age of about 12 or so. As an adult, what does the concept of fair mean anyway? When you are a kid, fair means that if Billy gets a cookie, Sally gets a cookie. Balance is maintained. Everyone is …
I am once again undergoing a treatment for the thyroid cancer I had removed Fall 2008. This time I’m going to have another radioactive iodine scan to see if any of the thyroid tissue has grown back. The good news is that it’s a low dose of radioactive iodine, so I won’t have to be …
Schools are closed this morning due to a hard freeze after rain yesterday. However, just heard on the radio that none of the roads are frozen. I think people in Baton Rouge are afraid of cold weather. It’s 26 deg F here. In PA, the kids would still go to school! Oh, well, I don’t …
