My new bff dance partner Cyndi Lauper
Hey y’all – it’s been a few weeks.
So I could use the excuse about it being the holidays and all for not posting to my blog. And I have been busy gnawing on Godivas, lounging in my new soft robe and trying to master the dance moves to “Cotton-Eyed Joe” and “Girls Just Wanna Have Fun” on the Wii Just Dance. Hmm – wonder if I put on my red cowboy boots and sequin tube top I could increase my score?
Anyway, the truth is I’ve been feeling the need to focus my blog a bit – the random bits and pieces of discarded blog posts littering my desktop made it become obvious that it was time. So on our car ride today to Tennessee I’ll give it more thought, that is in between listening to podcasts of “Wait, Wait Don’t Tell Me,” and trying to keep warm in the arctic temperatures that my husband favors. (Note to self – buy Snuggie for the car ride.)
Happy New Year to all of you – and see you back in 2010.

My new BFF
I’ve jumped on the Kindle bandwagon and my husband is a happy man.
I’ve always been a book person. Even as a child, my friend Lelia and I were the nerds in the lunchroom with our noses in a book, while the other kids were squishing Jell-O through their teeth and squirting chocolate milk through their noses.
Now I also write and publish books, and still can’t take even the shortest trip without carrying along several books. I have a fear of being bookless that borders on a phobia and totally identified with the story of a woman who left a child at the gate in the Orly Airport in Paris to run back and buy a book, coming within seconds of missing her flight.
Given its capacity for holding several books in one lightweight device, rather than the 87 pounds of books I generally drag along, the Kindle seems like it would have instantly been my best friend. Read the full post »
