Author, Author!
There are somethings about being a writer that will never get old...
*getting "the call" or "the email" from an editor who says, "I'd like to offer you a contract for publication"
*getting the actual contract for a book
*signing that first contract (I had to concentrate to make sure I spelled my name right on both copies!)
*getting that first signed contract back with the publisher's information filled in (excuted copy)
*getting that first round of edits
*getting that LAST round of edits

Time Out for Kindle Reading
Our local library has 8 kindles available for its patrons. The DH and I both got on the waiting list, mainly so I could use one. His number was reached and we picked up the kindle on Sunday afternoon. Now I've got a kindle to read for 2 weeks! So far I'm really loving it, especially the current book I'm reading, My Sister's Keeper by Jodi Picoult.What about you? Do you own a kindle? Or, have you tried someone else's? Would you like to?
Who's Doing Cyber Monday?
I'm very carefully going to check out the Cyber Monday deals. I have a few items in mind that I plan to buy, but it would be very nice if they'd go on sale and save me some money. I won't be spending much. Can't afford to do so this year.What about you?
Did You Shop on Black Friday?
There's still time to take the poll to the left about what you ate at Thanksgiving.About Black Friday -
The DH despises mob scenes, but my brother and I do love the adventure of shopping on Black Friday. We weren't courageous enough to get up at the crack of dawn, though, so we did miss out on a few goodies, like the snuglee blankets and pots and pans sets at Menards, and some other items. I did manage to get some work gloves at almost 50 cents each pair, and a boot/shoe dryer which sounded interesting and was less than $9.00. The biggest extravagance there was this turntable with MP3 encoding/AM FM radio combination thing, but that was only $49.00, which isn't too bad. I didn't go for any of the high ticket items.
I didn't do too bad, but do have some Staples rebates to send in. They're pretty easy to do online, so I don't mind doing them. I bought some USB flash drives, batteries, and CD rewrites there.
I also bought a reversible light grey, almost white bubble coat and some grey boots at Walmart, both items $7.00 each, which I plan to use walking Rascal.
What about you? Did you shop on Black Friday? If so, what kind of deals did you get?
So, this year I was pretty practical, but it was still fun and I did get a few things I hadn't expected to find.
What about you? Did you shop on Black Friday? If so, what kind of finds did you get?

Rascal is sleeping right now. When she gets up, you'll know about it.
When RASCAL wakes up, you'll hear from her and/or her Mom - that would be me, Morgan Mandel.

I've been struggling to finish my ms so it has more romance and a hea ending for the editor at Wild Rose Press to read it. Life just keeps getting in the way.
J L and I are off to Killer Nashville Con on Friday.
Ciao!
we love our doggie -- she's quite the little couch potato - not really little though -- kind of like a pregnant armadillo :) -- so if you go to www.55-alive.com you'll see my articles there -- have you gone there before? it's the only place i'm published, you know -- take care - i also have a facebook acct -- how about that and myspace, and my own blog, family blog etc -- so i lied - i'm elsewhere on the world wide web!
Thank you so much for accepting my invitation to be my cyberfriend.
