FOOD STORAGE JUNKIE
I'll be leaving on a jet plane for Utah on Labor Day. And what a "labor day" it will be . . . (well, at least the day after)as my oldest son and his wife will be heading off to the hospital on Tuesday to deliver their third child! (Pinch the grandma!)
I strode through the store aisl… Continue

ACKNOWLEDGMENT
Credit for an entertaining, enlightening piece of historical fiction is given to the author and their publisher, but the careful reader and the author both know there are others to whom great debts of gratitude are owed.
A one line acknowledgment will appear in book three of my historical fiction series, FREE MEN AND DREAMERS. It will mention the invaluable assistance of a dedicated volunteer historian and respected author named Scott Baker for sharing his singular expertise on the topic… Continue

COUNTRY LIVING
Back in 1983, Tom and I chose our building lot based on two things. Number one, thinking ahead to mad dashes to church and Early Morning Seminary, we told the realtor we needed to live within five minutes of the LDS chapel. And secondly, when we walked to the top of the knoll, we s… Continue

Can We Talk?
I'm firming up some dates for speaking engagements in 2010. One's tentatively set for March 28, at 1:30 at the Niles Public Library, another probably in mid May at the Schaumburg Township District Library.Also, coming up is a radio interview at WJJQ again on May 7, at 9:35 a.m. before my booksigning May 8 at Cover to Cover Books in Tomahawk, WI.
I've heard that some people are more afraid of public speaking than of dying. Surprisingly, I find it easier each time I do it. As long as I have my cheat sheet with me to glance down at once in a while for security and I like what I'm talking about, I'm okay.
What about you? Do you like to talk or would you rather not?
Helpless
Over the Holiday weekend I took a good look at my house and that familiar helples feeling washed over me again. It seemed like an insurmountable task to get the place in order. It still does.I spend so much time writing and promoting after I do my day job, what little time I have left is precious. Still, sometimes I just have to buckle down and ignore my compulsion to write and make myself clean house instead. I tackled the spare bedroom, which had clothes and all kinds of other articles strewn over the bed, on the floor, and anywhere you can think of, compliments of myself and the DH, who were equally guilty. I did make some headway, which made me feel good, but if I had more time I know I could do better. Also, there are so many other projects left to do if I were to get the house really into shape. I'm wondering how much I'll get done before Christmas, when I have my family over.
Maybe over the weekend I can get more done, that is, after I do the Illinois sales tax form first, which is due by the end of the month. I've got almost all of my check statements, except one, which I think I can find online, so maybe I can get that done. You may have guessed I'm not the most organized person in the world.
Anyway, let's see how far I can get cleaning up. I've got this kindle on loan from the library, with about 9 days left on it, and lots of good books on it beckoning to me. I've got some great ideas for stories I want to start and others I want to continue. I've got some blog buddies I haven't visited for a while. I wonder what will win out. (g)
What about you? What do you do about housework? Does it get in the way sometimes?
PS The not so surprising results are up on the left for my EZ poll. I'll have to do a harder one some time.

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.

Jeanette Michelle finally releases third fiction novel after three months of waiting for the final editing stage. This novel precedes her fourth novel Millicent Quinones, which is actually the prequel to Mycall book two.

It's very possible you received one of my journals. If it was one of mine, I hope you found it helpful. The whole purpose of the books is to help people and to get them to recognize the things they share in common with others rather than focusing on differences.
BTW, I love the music on your page. I am a huge Josh fan, and I walked down the aisle to "God Bless the Broken Road." It was so very fitting and is how I feel about my husband every blessed day we have together!
Look forward to getting to know you better. :)

There's a lot of room for personalization on this site. I like it! I've rearranged things and changed the color, too. Now we need to attract readers. We need to do our part.
