mornin' puglets!!

blondie, *i* am not surprised by a baby
blondie in the works. BUT you know that
now every time i see you, i'll have to wiggle
my eyebrows and wink knowingly.

wait, i already do that? right. haha!

dys, very cool on your YA blog reviews!

gjb, congrats!! *throws confetti*
please DO let me know when the hardcopies
are for sale!

my munchkin was very much wanted
but a complete surprise. i call him "my favorite
mistake" and absolutely plan on using him as
an example of the importance of birth control
when i give the bubs The Talk.
i think it has more impact when you can give
direct real life personal examples, you know? haha

busy busy week volunteering for bubs,
doing various author online stuff, and also
the huge halloween parade and festival this friday.

I can barely remember my 20s, they were so long ago.

My critique group just tanked. Too bad I'm already cleaned up, or I'd put in the last of the bulbs, or maybe clean the oven. But dressed nicely? Not gonna happen.

I suppose I could, you know, write. Yeah!

Maryn, finder of time

a little love?

hi puglets, i don't often ask
for a little love, but the publisher
for my newly released anthology
is giving away a free copy and no one
has bothered to comment to enter. =(

if you have a US mailing address and
want a chance for a free hardcover sent
to you, simply reply with what you think
our world will be like in a hundred years time.
(this is the anthology with 1e guin in it,
which i'm still totally chuffed over!)

puglets are the greatest!

thank you so much for responding
as well as tweeting about the giveaway. <3

so a hard to be a parent moment.
i volunteered for sweet pea (daughter's)
art class and was walking to her classroom
with her when a classmate asked if she'd
been invited to *rattled off a bunch of names*
birthday parties.

and sweet pea hadn't. =(

she hasn't, as far as i can tell, made any
close friends at all. though she does have friends.
i just hope that she is happy.

also, i had a teacher conference meeting
for munchkin (son) and was SHOCKED to hear
that he is very quiet at school. mainly because
he talks non-stop when he comes home. and you
know i don't have a shy bone in my body and never
had--but hub is EXACT opposite. if you want him to
comfortably talk with you--wait ten years. i'm not
joking. ha!

and then teacher told me a boy shoved
munchkin into the bushes yesterday morning
and she knows that munchkin would never have
told her if she hadn't been walking by. that made
me sad.

munch said this was the first time it happened,
unprovoked, it seems, but i just hope it's not
a bully situation. and it makes me sad that munchkin
doesn't feel like he can speak up about these things.
the teacher already spoke to both boys about this,
and i've also talked with munchkin as well.

he really is a sweet boy and i don't want his
confidence to be affected. so leery of this shover
boy as we've had issues with him before...

i think the social aspects are the hardest
with parenting.

i just spoke with my mom and
her leg is slowly healing. she is trying
to lose some weight with diet and she
is still on crutches to walk.

but not as painful as when she first
fell last week and hurt herself. =( poor
mommy. as it were, we won't see her
until thanksgiving. glad it is only a month away.

also, <3 lily pie.
