Friday Five

1. I've got a pretty! And as soon as I can, I will share!



2. It's the back to school tax free weekend here in Virginia. I've been collecting supplies but the last run was today. It's hard to believe it's August already! It's hard to believe how much I spent. Yikes.



3. So when I was teenager, I read some sci-fi/fantasy. One day on a whim, I picked up a book with a unicorn on the cover. Ariel by Stephen R. Boyett. Loved it and enjoyed The Architect of Sleep by him as well. Several months ago, I wound up googling Boyett and finding out the re-release of Ariel and a sequel to Ariel were imminent. I subscribe to his newsletter and wound up getting some freebies, bookmarks and postcards in the mail. Amazing how much that thrilled me. I'm looking forward to the releases.

4. I really really need a nap. Seriously. I think I'm becoming addicted to sleep. I've been so tired lately.

5. It amazes me how people insult reviewers with "just a reader" comments. I can't imagine. Really just can't.

Friday Five

1. I ate lunch with the youngest. They had Little Caeser's pizza. Yummmmm.

2. I went to the library to pick up some on hold books. Discovered a children's book by Yeardley Smith, the voice of Lisa Simpson.

3. Recieved a rejection yesterday :( but it was NOT a form letter. I moved up in the world. gAnd they actually gave a specific reason. That, I can work on!

4. I plan to attack Settler's Mine: the Man and give a once over before I *bites nails* submit to the editor.

5. The song of the day is "Good Riddance" By Green Day. "Another turning point, a fork stuck in the road. Time grabs you by the hand, directs where to go."
