Ella Update
Apologies for letting this blog become a slowly dying blog...Life has gotten super busy, lots of other writing to do, I have two official mentors (one I met with today...love her!), still sitting on the fence about grad school, and the travel season really kicks off this weekend. Off the top of my head I'm out of town from now until July 3 times for conference and once for a bachelorette party. It's in Kansas City...don't get too excited. But if you're near there, come on by. It's a 3 day event! The hubby's hitting Vegas & NOLA without me in May.

All that means that this blog, which is now more of a bitch fest blog or a vanity blog, whatever, is getting the shaft big time. But if you're still reading...thanks.

So Miss Ella? I know that's why you still visit! ;)

  • She toured the school that most likely will be hers in the fall. I'm hoping to squirm our way into another school, but chances are it won't happen. She really liked it. I think because there were a lot of "big kids" there for her to gawk at. She also hit it off with some of the administrators who walked us around.
  • She's going to have Crackberry thumb by the age of 5. She has a play cell phone which she has now moved into sending pretend text messages or checking of the email. Oh, did I mention the hubby got a Crackberry? So I'm on the Treo, he's on the Crackberry, and Ella's playing along.
  • She loves it that spring is here...at least for today. Spring means she can wear dresses without jeans underneath, we go on walks after dinner, and well, she gets to be outside.
  • She hates it...HATES it when we fight. We had a very short disagreement this morning and she chided both the hubby & I about fighting.
  • We saw that damned "Angel" ASPCA commercial tonight and she declared that she wanted us to get those kitties. When I said we couldn't (the hubby almost died the one year we did have a cat.) she almost burst into tears thinking the kitties would be homeless.
Well tomorrow I have the day off. I'm having lunch with Brandon to catch on things. We haven't spent any real time together in months and we both have major drama to tell each other. I'm still unsure what to do with my free afternoon. A movie? Perhaps a chick flick that I wouldn't subject the hubby to? Or do I find a coffee shop and write, write, write my fingers off? Because really, I'm far behind on a few submissions that are coming due in the next two months. Especially one I haven't even started. *sigh* Maybe I'll try to get a lot of writing in before lunch. Maybe.

Later!
