Today’s fortune cookie fortune from lunch with gramms:
Success will be yours at home and in business in the next month.
I can handle that. Success in business would hopefully mean some fabulous news on my sci fi The Captured Rose. And at home…hmm. More writing time when Emma starts going to pre-school? YEAH!
I’m so excited. She’s fully potty trained, no accidents, and most mornings wakes up dry!
So I spent the weekend at my family’s cabin. All the family was up there, including my three brothers. Why the big gathering when the cabin is about the size of an apartment? It’s fishing season. And every time one of the men catch a salmon, they walk right up to window gripping the bloody fish by the gills and display it with pride. I swear, I almost expect them to say ‘Ug! Woman start fire now!’ or something. It’s a guy thing. Emma loves it. Starts dancing around screaming, “Uncle Mark caught two salmon!!!”
Unfortunately, or is it fortunately? I don’t eat salmon. Not since I was eight and one of my brother’s told me there were worms in it. I’m old enough now to no better, and that he was just trying to get a bigger helping, but I still have issues sometimes eating something that used to be alive.
I have big fun plans this weekend, which I’ll blog about on Saturday (seriously, hold me to that!)
Trust and Dare is still doing great (it hit #5 best seller status for about 12 hours, lol, before shooting back to #6!) so thank you majorly to all who’ve bought it! I hope you like it
Have a great rest of the week!




Yay on the potty training!
Congrats on Trust or Dare. Glad its doing so well.
Ditto what Kelley said!
That’s funny about your salmon trauma. Giving up seafood was hard for me to do, but I’m used to it. But I used to LOVE it.
I’m counting down the days too Shelli. Awesome on the potty training.
You go girl. Congrats on the best seller list.
I love the cat photo. This potty training things sounds very traumatic for all concerned. I’m glad things are going well in that department
Congrats on the best seller status. You go!
Yay on Trust and Dare! Hope it continues! And yay on potty training, too!
Hey, I just looked, you’re #4!! Woohoo!!
WOW! THanks, Samantha!!! I’m so freakin’ thrilled
Thanks for the congrats everyone!
