Apparently, the Powers That Be don’t want me to miss a post this week.
It’s been stressful adjusting to the new job and schedule, and I’ve been so tired that all my story ideas simply dried up (hence, the photo – duh).
But then I received a notification from WordPress congratulating me on my three-year anniversary.
Happy Anniversary with WordPress.com! You registered on WordPress.com 3 years ago. Thanks for flying with us. Keep up the good blogging.
So I now had something with which to start a post!
But what to say? And when would I find time to say it?
And – then I received a Facebook reminder of something I wrote three years ago right after I published my About page:

Blog almost there. Just waiting for final input from my personal editor and personal artist. It so nice to have talented people in the family! Maybe I should also get my violinist/guitarist/singer to create a theme tune for me …
I love you girls!

Now I knew I had to write something! No matter how long a day I had, and no matter how tired I might be.
And the icing on the cake? In today’s mail, I received my copy of Linda Bethea‘s book, Everything Smells Just Like Poke Salad. Linda has asked me to read and review, and I can’t even express how honored I am that another blogger has asked for my opinion about anything!
AVAILABLE ON AMAZON! CLICK ON PHOTO FOR LINK.
Also in today’s mail were my new Puppy Cody and Japanese Garden coffee mugs and my son-in-law’s new Teddy Rosalie baseball cap from Café Press (see sidebar, hint hint).
Looking forward to a weekend of fun reading – and fresh coffee in my new mugs! I’ll let you know what I think of Linda’s book soon – I expect it’s going to be awesome like everything she writes on her blog (check that out, here!).
Ain’t blogging great?

Wow! Three years is a good long time in the blogging world. Incidentally, I have my copy of Linda’s book now too. It’s next on my list after I finish the one I’m reading by another blogging buddy. Goodness, there are so many talented people out there. 🙂

oh, lordy. You commented on this post last August, and I just now found that comment! I so apologize for my tardiness in responding. By now you’ve hopefully finished Linda’s book and enjoyed it as much as I did. I wish I had her talent!
