Things I hate to find in my hair and in my bed
Ticks, spiders and gum. Shudder…spiders are okay as long as they aren’t on me. I found one in my hair ten minutes ago. That’ll teach me to do yard work.
Coming in two days. I’m both nervous and excited. Other than that, I don’t want to say too much…the evil eye, you know! Even hubby says he’s excited to read it, on his Kindle, of course.
If you look to the right, you’ll see that I have a new category on my links - Funnies. Check out these young artists. They’re doing some great stuff.
Not much else happening, other than the WIP, which is coming along well and which I hope to have finished in another month or so, and the puppy, who is also coming along well - I think I should enroll him in school because he’s very smart. We have to pay attention or he’ll make up some creative game that involves destroying some part of our house and/or property, like, say, cleaning out all the shelves in my pantry and stashing everything beneath the deck or piling it on the basketball court.
Today Jake took it upon himself to rearrange my antique books, as in, he buried them in the backyard. Yeah, Byron is a little the worse for wear. At least the signed charcoal sketch of the poet is still intact. Well, the books are old…
So, what’s new with you? I’d love to hear! julia

Thanks, Amber and yeah, he keeps me busy!
Cindy - Byron got moved. Jake seems to have a special liking for Lord Byron.

Poor Lord Byron, is the book bound in leather or lined with velum? At least Jake has good taste in books that taste good.

Well, I don’t have a dog, but my 5 yo decided to rearrange my antique books for me the other day. A very old copy of Shakespeare’s King Lear no longer has a cover. I stood there staring at it reminding myself she was trying to help, smiled and told her it was okay because it was very old.
Spiders in your hair? I think I’d have to take a shower. Maybe more than one. Spiders around the yard or house don’t bother me… on me? I squeal like a girl.
Congratulations on your upcoming release!!

Kat - well, it DID have a leather binding! It’s a bit ripped right now. The book has been in a black book case forever - it looks great there along with a few other books from my grandmother who was a collector. I actually hadn’t looked at it for a while until the puppy took a sudden and very deep interest in it. Like I said, I was able to save the signed charcoal sketch of Lord Bryon, but the cover is a little worse for the wear!
Lynne - hello and thanks for stopping by! Yup, my kids did stuff like that too, in their younger days. I always remind myself that one day I’ll miss all the naughty stuff they do so I cherish it!

Funny you should mention gum… my youngest apparently hadn’t gotten the memo about not chewing gum in bed… Yep, in his hair, stuck to the pillowcase and his jammies… *sigh* ;P
And yuck on spiders up close and personal! I’m fine with them as long as they keep their distance!

Fedora, oh ack! Gum in hair - bad thing. I once spent hours getting gum out of my daughter’s long, curly hair - finally had to cut some of her hair off. I felt so bad, but man, was it stuck in there!
