My second book is called "Light Beneath Ferns" and it's coming out in February, 2010. I didn't think the book was available yet, but I'll go check after I was doing this.

I used to keep a notebook by my bed, and a few times I woke up with the Best Idea Ever, jotted it down and fell back asleep dreaming of the awesomeness.

We've been cat...Oh, those kittens are SO CUTE! We've been catless now for almost two weeks and it's horrible. And we can't get another cat because we're going back to a place with a no-cats line in the lease...<br /><br />Whenever I'm out of it, my husband makes 'Chinese' food. Which means we end up with half a dozen bottles of various sauces and several packages of bean sprouts in various stages of decrepitude. I too have been out of it lately: Lean Cuisine sounds pretty good.<br /><br />175? You're doing better than I'd be doing under the circumstances! But even 175 lbs of kid on your lap are worth it.Mary Witzlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06458299046574564155noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7837908059809422462.post-72710497581360578022009-07-21T06:49:07.658-07:002009-07-21T06:49:07.658-07:00You are so right, Glynis.

Who knew?<br /><br />Adrienne, I can't even pass Lean Pockets in the store now without feeling the tiniest quell of nausea. And the kids did help out. Of course, they loved the fact that I couldn't be the clean-your-room-brush-your-teeth Mom for awhile, and after clearing the table they ran off for three hours of uninterrupted MySpace or SpongeBob marathons.<br /><br />I think I would have to smoke some opium to retrieve that novel, Christy. I put Dracula on again (the one with Wynona) so there's some connection there. I've never written a horror story in my life and I generally avoid that genre along with Westerns and Nicholas Spark. (Is he married to Danielle Steele?)<br /><br />And thanks for the profile pic comment. Philip did that (I think he fooled around with the exposure). It was so flattering when he yelled, "Mom, I found one where you can't see any wrinkles." <br />Love that kid.<br /><br />If the Squids spoke to us, that would be amazing, K.C. Squids can't talk, except on SpongeBob, right? Seriously, we all ran to the window once when they put their garbage out, but we couldn't see them. I think everyone in the neighborhood ran to the window when they heard noise from that house.<br /><br />Yeah, you're right, not a whole lot goes on around here...Anne Spollenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12915171740680350711noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7837908059809422462.post-5052076154143712472009-07-20T04:09:53.145-07:002009-07-20T04:09:53.145-07:00At least if the Squids overheard you yelling about...At least if the Squids overheard you yelling about them, you have the perfect excuse for not making sense.
