That blog IS delightful! I'm salivating in anticipation of reading the link to the Vanity Fair article on Palin's resignation speech. This morning, I clicked on the website for the electrician that's expressed an interest in apprenticing my boy and nearly sucked the air out of the room when I spied with my little eye a glaring typo in their website header. (They're "licenced") Angels of Mercy save me! Oh! That blog IS delightful! I’m salivating in anticipation of reading the link to the Vanity Fair article on Palin’s resignation speech.

She doesn't post often, but her on-the-spot-editing posts are very fun to read. I would consider blog or article writing, if someone was interested in bringing me on, but at this point I write for enjoyment only.

I can't STAND watching hubby read my stuff. Did he laugh...why is he brow furrowed...was that a snicker or a laugh? But sigh....I have yet for the cherry strobe light from the publisher and will probably self pub. (Did you know that 2008 was the first year that self published books beat out traditional publishing?) On the other side of it...I have been embarrassed, yea verily MORTIFIED at some of the stuff my hs mom friends have asked me to edit. Communication skills in these times are not what they used to be; it drives me crazy. (But then again, I copy edit menus, billboards, letters from 4-H, etc....) I should be on medication. What about you Obi-Mom....you're a fantastic writer...any publication dreams? Yep…you are so spot on. I can’t STAND watching hubby read my stuff.
