About This Author

Contact Me

I am a 40 year old married mother of two teenage boys. I live for writing, especially romance. Love the happily ever after scenerio. The best thing about writing for me is the ability to lose yourself in your work, and feel as if you've accomplished something great. At the end of the day, that's all that really matters.

Poisoned Purple Pen

She sat down at her old wooden desk, pen at the ready. Her thoughts raced. What shall I write today? Tilting her head to the side, a small smile tugged at the corner of her mouth before enveloping her delicate face. The purple ink began to fill the once blank sheet, each stroke a labor of pure joy as the words flowed from her mind, her heart, her very soul.

My Dreams...

to write of romance and endless love
to love without boundaries
to learn from past mistakes
to laugh with all my heart
to be the woman I am meant to be

TODAY...

I will reach for the stars

Will not give up

Will give all that I have

Dare to dream the impossible dream

For anything in this life is possible

<---I am blown away by this

GPS when my husband is driving but for me primarily photos. I take lots of pictures of my cats and my grandchildren.

Same here - My phone is my camera, GPS, Bank card, Travel Agent, 24 hour store, MP3 player, social organizer, Encyclopedia, Calculator, Take Away Delivery Service, as well as communication device. The one thing I don't do much on my phone is come on WDC - it's more time consuming and difficult to type on a phone especially adding emoticons!

Me too! I did not rush to own and use a cellphone, but once I had one it became indispensable. Like you say, it holds and does everything! Mine stores thousands of photos most of which are the four grandgiggles. I also bank online with it. I have never played games on it nor do I store music tracks. Haha! The landline phone is indeed vintage. Who would have imagined a pocket device could contain so much?

Thank you so much. I am glad my words hit all the right buttons. I was giggling as I wrote this.

Almost party time! I agree, it's way better to be positive and to find cause for cheer wherever and whenever we can!

SandraLynn I swear it's like we're surrounded by negativity. The only way to turn it around is to start with yourself, so I'm choosing that route. Let's hope it works!

JACE I love how you haven't aged me since 2008! Why that's fantastic. I'll take it.

Running a business is not an easy endeavor. I had mine for 32 years. I never considered doing anything else, so I was never in the position to sell. But I did go through the down-turns and worries. That was enough.

I wish you the best in all your business endeavors.

I like your birthday-high attitude. Why focus on the doom and gloom? Be Dancing anywhere, anytime.

Monday, not a fun day

{Size:} Every month I receive my commission statement from the oil company letting me know what I'll be getting from our 70/30 split.

All I can say is that February was quite disappointing, and so far March isn't looking that great.

My 8 hour shift today barely made $1000. I know some will think that's a good shift, but a normal day is usually between $4,000-5,000.

I don't know if it's the fear that the economy will tank, or the mass firings going on, or everyone is broke from Christmas, or perhaps the gloomy weather as we slide into spring.

I've been over buying products, and realized today I need to stop until business picks up. It's insane trying to figure out what is going to sell. Cigarette prices are out of control and the dismal sales are reflecting that.

I seriously want to sell it all and get out now, but the husband has decided to rent it out instead when we are ready. I hate that idea. I realize the property will be paid off in August 2027. Our house June 2026, but I'm just plain tired. I admit it.

Maybe I'm just crazy, who knows.
