Had a fender-bender this afternoon. My fault. Got a ticket. Bummed about the whole ordeal. On the bright side, hubby popped out the dent in about 10 seconds flat. He's awesome like that.
Uh oh! Glad you're okay *Smile*

Nicki, I'm glad you're okay and that it wasn't worse. Don't beat yourself up too much, accidents happen.
Thanks you guys! I'm not letting myself worry a minute more about it. Even though I don't know how much the ticket or insurance claims will cost...not thinking about it!! *Bigsmile* Hope all's well with you guys!! *Heart*
This week I wrote a WDC newsletter, a bio for my professional portfolio, a press release, a blog post for my company website, and a thank you letter to follow up a job interview. How much fiction did I write? None *Sad*. Maybe I'll write a poem today. It's my day off and all I have to do is clean the house, do massive amounts of laundry, edit 20 or so photos of a recent work event, and pack up the suitcases for our 4 pm departure for a weekend of scuba diving in Vortex Springs, FL. *sigh* Maybe I'll write the poem in the car...
OMG Asymetrical, that is a brilliant thought!!! Haha, love it!
Aw thanks, Mara! So much wisdom in your comment. *Heart* Have a great weekend!
I find just emptying my e-mail can take all day! *Laugh* Have a great time doing what you love. (The scuba diving - not the cleaning/laundry)
Have a fantastic weekend. *Heart*

LOL - Thanks, Bronx!*Smile* Nice to see you again!

Thanks, sis! You are the BEST for promoting my new In & Out! I hope everyone comes and brags, brags, brags!!*Star*

*Heart*
Just got my copy of The Writing.com Anthology 2012 is the mail!!! SO exciting! Off to get lost in it......!
I contacted Fyn regarding mine being sent to South Africa and she never got back to me. *Cry*
I'll bet her inbox is like mine -- overflowing and with black hole tendencies, capable of swallowing whole batches of emails into oblivion. Definitely try her again. I'm sure she'll want you to have your copy as soon as possible!
The worse part about being back from vacation is...well, being back from vacation.
"Spotty Internet" - Isn't that called a virus? *Laugh* Sorry, I couldn't resist that... *Heart*
I second Sisco. Seems you've been gone an age. I don't know why I didn't fan you before, but now I can keep an eye on you *Bigsmile*
Fanning you back, Jed! *Bigsmile*
Can I just say? Spending an afternoon on WDC: reading, reviewing, chatting with awesome peeps -- makes me so happy. Shout-out to everyone I interacted with today. You, friends, totally rock! *Inlove*
Arg! Twice now Google Chrome has hiccuped, interrupting the review I'm working on. First time, I lost a chunk. So mad! Second time, I highlighted and copied the unsaved portion before losing the connection. Think I'm going to finish this review on My NotePad and copy/paste into My Review Tool Template later. *raises chin, squints eyes* Straighten up, Chrome. Or I'll open Firefox. Oh yes...I will! *Smirk*
Hi! Getting this last review finished for Tiggy, who won my package in your auction. Been enjoying discussing her work. Hope all's excellent with you!
O M G! I did not know about Lazarus, and I am sooo downloading it. Thank you, SM!
This is such a great article on Writer's Digest.com about the Thirteen Trickiest Grammar Hang-ups. Wordsmiths will love this! http://www.writersdigest.com/whats-new/the-13-trickiest-grammar-hang-ups?et_mid=...
Interesting article. Thanks for sharing, Nicki!
Actually, reading Giselle's comment inspired me to subscribe as well!
You'll love Writer's Digest articles. There's something for every writer, in any stage of the craft. Hope you enjoy the new subscription!
After 3-1/2 wks with house guests, my email account was out of control! Mostly eJunk *Laugh*, so I got fed up and mass deleted all 1000+ messages *Bigsmile**Thumbsup*. So....if you emailed me in the past month and are waiting on a response, er, yeah...could you resend the original message? Giant thanks in advance!
Good for you for hitting delete! 1,000 emails sounds like a headache not even Advil could solve! *Smile*
And Steph, that was just my WDC email account. My Gmail account had 1300+. Not enough Advil in the world...!
Oh, Nic! There's not enough Advil for that - skip the painkillers and go right for the margeritas!
Look what I got today! (*waves to Mara ♣ McBain Author Icon*) http://on.fb.me/H0WYle
*waves back* Thanks, Nicki!! I'm looking forward to hearing your thoughts!
I'll let you know when I pick it up again. Gotta finish "The Celestine Prophecy" first *Bigsmile* I'll hurry!
Ecstatic to announce my literary magazine debut in Slice Magazine's tenth issue, available for pre-order today! Slice will hit bookstore shelves in April. Check here to see if your local bookstore carries Slice or to order/subscribe: ~Slice sold here~  Open in new Window.
Well, I guess half the battle is won by getting one accepted by a magazine.
Thanks so much, Adriana, Sarah, and Marsha! Hope you ladies have a super week *Delight**Heart*
Yay! I'm so happy for you! Congrats!!!!
I love signing into WDC every morning! Starts my day off right. Just felt like sharing *Cool*
You are such a rock *Star*!!!
Hi Nick1! I was just thinking about you. Logging on in the morning brings me close to my friends, especially you,
We love it when you sign in too, Nicki. Win, win situation! *Heart* Hope you and the family are doing well.
Today's the day! Running the Athens Half Marathon at 7am. Just 13.1 miles stands between me and another item crossed off my bucket list!
Good luck!
Woohoo! Go girl!
So proud of you, sis*Star*-- You are truly amazing!!! Wish I could've been there to cheer you on & watch you cross the finish line~ Congratulations on your great time! Love you *Heart*
I did a 10-MILE training run today in preparation for my first half marathon in October, and I lived to tell about it! *Laugh* It was the farthest I've ever run. I've been told by more seasoned marathoners that if I can run 10 miles, I'm really for a half. I wouldn't say I'm ready yet, but with four weeks to go, I'd say my confidence that I can eventually do 13 miles is very high. Just wanted to share my accomplishment! Oh, and does anyone have any Advil...? *Smile*
Nicki, Midol works much better. Found that out with obstacle courses I have to do as Security on a Naval Installation.


I am sooooooo proud of you. 10 miles is an awesome goal!*Laugh*
@Jim ~ Thanks for the encouragement! I haven't read Born to Run -- will look for it!
@Jace ~ Yes, I have three more long runs planned, two 10-miles and one 11-mile. I'm not setting a time goal this go-around. My goal is to finish. That said, I did 10 miles in 1 hr 53, so I think I'll get 13 done by 2 hr 30, at least. I guess I'll have a better idea after I get a couple more long runs under my belt.
@Catherine ~ *Bigsmile* Thanks!
@Noelle ~ Happy Birthday, sis!! I love you!! *Heart*
@Sandy ~ Ooh, great suggestion. I'll pick up some Midol. Thanks!!
I'M SO HAPPY!!!!!!! This is the coolest thing evah!! I knew she'd get in, I just knew it! *Heart*
