Yes my pets, here we are again. Another BLAH MONDAY, but until Oprah calls and ze Pulizter is in my hands I guess I will have to carry on like all of the other working peasants! Just a few goodies to pass onward and then I have two little dogs that I MUST take outside as they are jumping up and down as we speak trying NOT to pea on my carpet. Ok real quick like -

Yours truly is getting her pic taken by Estes Photography for ze cover of "Passing Thoughts". I am still awaiting YOUR innovational and creative ideas,so hurry up and bring them forth. The only thing I can think of is telling them to make sure they have plenty of panty hose to put over the lens and an elongating, slimming lens. I know I'm not asking for much huh! I just told them to make me look good! I don't want someone to pick the book up in the store and go, "OH MY GOD WHAT IS IT?" if you know what I mean.

Please call me when you get settled in Beverly Hills and we will do lunch soon! I promise! Can't wait to visit Gary out there!

Our most favorite of all creative writing teachers, Mr. Musgrave, has agreed to edit/review my short stories for "Passing Thoughts" in between doing summer school this summer! I am so thrilled that he is going to be doing this for me! I will be more interested in his reviews then my comma splice errors, but I am thrilled to death that he is going to have time to do this for me! Thank You Mr. M. for your help!
