Lamest Excuse Ever
if i ever doubted the power of kRAzy GLue, i don't NOW. . .
I would be working right now but . . . i broke my favorite earrings last night. i got up, set up my computer all ready to work. i was making coffee and had this excellent time-saving idea: indstead of wasting all this time waiting for the water to boil,fix your earrings. it was such an easy fix: just a tiny dab of glue, fit the post back into the whole....DONE.
I WAS WATCHING THE GLUE FLOW TOWARD THE APPLICATOR TIP....next thing i knew, it gushed out onto my fingers holding the post. i saw it happening. AFRAID THE GLUE WOULD GET ALL OVER EVERYTHING, I CAPPED IT FIRST....
HUGE MISTAKE!!!!!
now 2 fingers are stuck to the earring and two others are stuck together.
Directions on back of the bottle read: "soak in acetone nail polish remover then roll skin apart..." I AM SOAKING...
IF I EVER BEFORE DOUBTED THE POWER OF kyazy glue...
i am soaking, gritting my teeth against the pain as i try to pull/roll my fingers apart and typing this.
Palm skyward ala SCARLET O: With you as my witness, if i ever get free, i will never procrastinate or use KRAZY GLUE again!!!

Warning: VAMPIRE BABY is coming . . .
Tootie has fangs! And she knows how to use them...
It happens overnight: little sister Tootie goes from cuddly, ga-ga-googoo, I-want-my-ba-ba baby to . . .vampire baby. Now she’s sinking her pointy fangs into everything -- furniture, toys, and especially her big brother ("Youch, Tootie! No bite!"). Mom insists that it’s just a phase, but Tootie’s brother knows better. Just look at her hairline! Or the fact that all her favorite foods are red, blood red! . . .
VAMPIRE BABY is fanged, dangerous, and crawling your way this July.

Spending My Summer Vacation
Were your "How I Spent My Summer Vacation" Back-to-School essays fact or fiction? Or like mine, some of both.
I used to think you had to "go somewhere else" in order to have something "interesting" to write. I'm learning what Tam Smith and Sharry Wright, blog sisters on Kissing The Earth
seem to have known all along, and what led young reader-me to spend countless satisfying summer days curled up in a cozy spot, reading: the landscapes of a book can be a real, as captivating, as life-altering as any. In case you're wondering why I haven't been posting, it's Summertime. I'm spending my Summer Vacation. I'll write you all about it, later. . .
TRACING THE STARS: Just the Thing on a Hot Summer Day
I recently subscribed to Goodreads Quote of the Day. I'm delighted I did; these daily missives provide the jolt needed to spark my sluggish mind. This quote, by the late Carol Shields, author of STONE DIARIES, was the permission--and reminder-- I needed to toss aside all those "must-dos" and DO one of my favorite activities:
"Open a book this minute and start reading. Don’t move until you’ve reached page fifty. Until you’ve buried your thoughts in print. Cover yourself with words. Wash yourself away. Dissolve"
Erin Moulton's newest book TRACING THE STARS took me away on this hot summer day!
I didn't stop at 50 pages and you won't either!
