So what a weekend! I had two more play dates with Emma, Lacy and her kids. At one point I guess Emma hit the boy with a toy train. Eek! I think it just means she likes him, but still, had to explain why that was bad and made her say sorry. Friday night Lacy and I just had a glass of wine and talked while the kids played. Gotta love the down moments!
Then, I took Emma up to Whidbey Island to stay with her grandparents. So I am Emma free for 2 1/2 days! I went to my friend’s dental hygiene graduation today. Man, two hours of talking about teeth related issues. Ugh, it certainly is a calling. I don’t know how people can walk around sticking their hands in people’s mouths all day.
OMG I’m watching Old School and it is seriously one the funniest movies. It’s the wedding scene, where Vince Vaughn is trying to talk Will out of getting married while they’re at the alter. LOL. If you haven’t seen this you gotta see it. Man I love Vince and Will.
I got some more writing last night and today. I have to say my story took a darker twist with a suggestion for Loribelle. I wonder if it works! LOL. This story will be my normal light stuff, but also have a river of darkness running through it. But then, it’s Halloween. I hope people still like it :)
Oh yes! And I meant to write this a few days ago. But Roberta Brown turned me down. LOL. That rhymes. But she was very sweet about it and said she’d like to meet me at the PI party at Nationals. She seems wonderful though. So I was a little bummed, but then not really. I just don’t think I’m destined to have an agent right now. So I’ll keep writing, subbing where I want, and let it be.
So, must go to bed. I’m waking up early to hit the Nordstrom half yearly sale with my friend Mia! I have a beer stein full of change, and I cashed it in today to shop with… $103! Woo whoo!
21/2 days!! Heaven, Shelli, heaven. Nordstroms! Lucky girl. And with over a hundred dollars. You’re having a ball! Sorry about the agent R. I think Cobblestone will get you noticed. Soon, an agent will appreciate you.
LOL at the dental hygiene. My ex did respitory therapy. At that graduation they told sputum jokes. YUCK.
Glad you had so much fun with your little one.
I’m sorry to hear things didnt go well with the editor! You just keep on focusing on your writing, just like you said! That is the most important part :)
I think it’s a good sign that Roberta Brown is still interested in meeting you at the PI party. Never know what could turn out from that.
Happy shopping!

Sucks that Roberta Brown turned you down but she wants to meet you so that’s a good sign. Maybe she doesn’t want *that* story but you’ve gots oodles of stories, so it’s just a matter of time before you find the right fit.
I’m happy to report that I bought TOURIST ATTRACTION today. It’s next on my TBR pile as soon as I finish the book I’m reviewing for RD.
Hope you have fun shopping!
I’m really surprised Roberta turned you down. :/ Hugs. Hopefully, she’ll change her mind before some other uber agent comes in a sweeps you up.
Awwwe poor Emma. It’s hard having a crush. LOL! I’m sure she only mean it as a love tap.
:P And Old School is funny as heck! It’s the movie where the guy is singing but he replaces certain words with the F* word? Hehe!
Sorry about the turn down. You’ll find someone eventually, I’m sure.
Have fun shopping. Nordstrom can have some great deals at that half yearly sale. Unfortunately, I only have a Nordstrom Rack close to me, not an actual Nordstroms…
Old School is the best! I LOVE that guy who sings at the wedding - he toured around to small clubs and sang all kinds of songs, inserting various curse words. Read that in People magazine…
A suggestion from me? Ruh oh. What’d I say? These three stories are gonna rock. :)
Sounds like you had a good weekend. ;)
That’s amazing that you pulled all that money out of a beer stein! Makes me want to go roll some change! I hope you had a successful shopping venture. Nordstrom is truly a mecca.
shellli you poor thing. I know how much you’ve been trying to get r.b. as your own. I do think you will someday. at the very least you’re getting her to remember you. just think when that right project comes along she’s gonna be all over that thing. :D
hugs.
and woo hoo on the shopping trip!
