Just a Big Kid

"There's nothing more satisfying than seeing a happy and smiling child....A child's smile is worth more than all the money in the world."  ~Lionel Messi~

You know it's been a good day when you have the Mickey Mouse Clubhouse theme song stuck in your head.

Went to the splash pad and KILLED it.  Especially loved it when my nephew wanted to leave the water to go play on the playground and I had to carry him because someone decided wood chips are a good idea for playgrounds? Since when do we want kids to get slivers?

Also, when is someone going to invent a material that doesn't heat to a million degrees in the sun because that slide burned my buns.

Can I make Resolutions in July too?

I've been really slacking on this blog, so I'm re-resoluting to write an adventure every day.

Besides, I need the practice.  I just signed up for my TESOL course so that I can go abroad which means that my dreams of being a TRAVEL WRITER may actually not be so far fetched!

My adventure today is PEOPLE.  I'm about to share a library story that has happened to me more times and in countless ways than I can even explain.  This is how it went down today:

PATRON: "You!" Points angrily at me.  "Come here!"

She leads me to I's in the Adult Fiction section.

"Where are the rest of the I's?" Gestures to the bottom of the shelf.  "You're missing some!"

ME: "They continue up onto the next shelf." Shows her around to the other side.

PATRON: "What?  That makes no sense whatsoever.  You people can't even keep the letters of the alphabet together!"

HAPPY NEW YEAR

It's been an amazing new year so far.

Veil of Shadows is officially up on Amazon!!!

So excited about that!

I've also finished two paintings already, which is like the best therapy ever:

I know both are silhouette paintings, but silhouettes are just so much easier!

I've also started a new sewing project...because I have a sewing machine now!!!!  Say goodbye to buying clothes...lol, just kidding!

Anyways, Happy New Year everyone!!!!

Cover for Book 2 (and New Cover for Book 1!)

Since Book 2 is currently in the process of editing and probably won't be published for a couple weeks, here is the unveiled (LOL) cover for it!!!  Also, have I mentioned how pleased I am that I finished it?!  Because I've never written a 300 page novel before and I feel great about this!
