Happy Birthday to Erma Bombeck!




The only reason I would take up jogging is so I could hear heavy breathing again.

One thing they never tell you about child raising is that for the rest of your life, at the drop of a hat, you are expected to know your child's name and how old he or she is.

On skiing: I do not participate in any sport with ambulances at the bottom of a hill.
***
Thanksgiving dinners take eighteen hours to prepare. They are consumed in twelve minutes. Half-times take twelve minutes. This is not coincidence.
***
Don't confuse fame with success. Madonna is one; Helen Keller is the other.
***
People shop for a bathing suit with more care than they do a husband or wife. The rules are the same. Look for something you'll feel comfortable wearing. Allow for room to grow.
***
My theory on housework is, if the item doesn't multiply, smell, catch on fire or block the refrigerator door, let it be. No one cares. Why should you?
***
I just clipped 2 articles from a current magazine. One is a diet guaranteed to drop 5 pounds off my body in a weekend. The other is a recipe for a 6 minute pecan pie.

When I stand before God at the end of my life, I would hope that I would not have a single bit of talent left, and could say, "I used everything you gave me.

I love this woman's blog!

Be sure to visit Ginger Simpsons's blog
and check out my interview today.

I just love this woman. The more I read about her on her blog, the more I think "separated at birth". This, of course, could be construed as an insult by Ginger, who is probably a very normal person...
Stop by, say hi, and get a laugh or two for the day...

Come visit!

The virtual book tour continues!

In today's talk, we discuss really deep things about like:
  • The time when a college boy I thought was flirting with me called me ma'am. I was so heartbroken. I thought I was going to be “Mrs. Robinson” in The Graduate. Instead I was Mrs. Kravitz in Bewitched.

  • Ideas of how a person with the attention span of an over-caffeinated gnat can keep from getting distracted long enough to write a book.

  • The ABCs of communication skills. Beats me how something useful actually sneaked into the interview.

Drop by and let's visit!

Join Me This Friday, November 9, 2007

Join me this Friday, November 9th,
as I continue humiliating myself publicly
on my virtual book tour.


Friday I'll be visiting
Come by and visit with us!

  • We'll be talking about my secret to writing a great novel (which is basically to look at what I do and do the opposite).
  • We'll discuss the way to become an overnight success (in only 48 years).
  • We'll talk about an activity that over 70 thousands writers worldwide are doing this month ... besides starving, begging for spare change, and surfing the internet instead of typing.
  • We'll discover how writing can replace your psychiatrist.
  • And we'll talk about how to use a full body chicken suit to achieve fame and a restraining order.

Intrigued? Great! We'll see you Friday on the blog tour!

Come by, take off your shoes, sit for a while ... wait, what is that smell?

Okay, put your shoes back on... But sit for a while. Leave a comment too!
