To Dayna’s Family
Welcome Babykid #4 who has been nicknamed by the Divas as “Bunny Boy”. We waited…..and waited….and waited right along with Dayna with anticipation (and a competitive baby pool thread) and now you’re here. Kid, you couldn’t have picked a better family. Welcome to the world kiddo.
9 lbs, 5oz, at 5:57am in the morning of Easter Sunday is a beautiful time to make your entrance.
Just Sayin’

To My Mother In Law
Have you been reading my blog? You put on Easter dinner and it was FANTASTIC. No drama. No tension. No problems. I can’t tell you how much I needed that right now. The food rocked, the family time was fabulous and Grandpa Mike’s Brandy was very welcome indeed. Thank you, thank you, thank you for putting on the Easter dinner. For the first time in over a year, I feel like we had a great family get together with no stress. And I give YOU the credit for that. Great job.
Just Sayin’.

To Cup O Noodles
After waiting for SO LONG for “Hot Contract”, I have to say it’s been worth the wait. I think it’s awesome that before you had a chance, the Divas at Romance Divas had your back with the promotion. You never know how your influence will show, whether it’s Gwen’s signature line (”You don’t have to be a flaming star. It’s okay to be a night light. ~Cup O Noodles) or fabulous reviews you gotta know we love ya’!
Just sayin’

To Loribelle Hunt
You have no idea what it has done for me to hear that Atlanta twang on the other end of the phone the last couple of weeks. And have you give positive feed back on “Resisting Command” (the sequel to “Taking Command”). I appreciate you more than you know. You get me through the day when I run out of whiskey. LOL.
Just Sayin’.

To Michelle
I don’t want you to leave. Remember that feeling when you were eight or nine and your best friend moved away? “It’s not fair” was always my reaction. Well, sad to say that thirty years later, I’m not being much of a grown up about this. Yes, I know it’s practical to move somewhere that your husband can find work. Yes, I know this will be a good thing. No, I’m not feeling reasonable about it. I’ll miss you. As one of the few real life people who can tolerate my annoying ass, how am I going to replace you? Is it bad that I’m praying your husband doesn’t find a job? Yeah, I know. It is. But you love me anyway.
Just Sayin’.

To Clinton And Obama
I knew race would play a part in this election, but who knew it would ORIGINATE with you? Here’s the thing, guys. It’s a little over seven months to the general election. Plus, you’re not doing yourselves any favors by being contrary with each other. Obama, you’ve risen above the fray, but don’t let them distract you. The media, the pundits, Hillary, even voters will attempt to divert you from your path of unity. Don’t let them. Be who you are, unapologetically and with conviction. Your legacy will be there, regardless of the outcome.
Hillary honey, get out of the race. Oh sure, you could win, but the Scorched Earth mentality will harm your party. Perhaps winning isn’t all it’s cracked up to be. And losing isn’t so bad. Take a lesson from John Kerry. He’ll never win. He ran in a general election and lost. Americans view candidates that run and lose as permanent losers. Losing the primaries? Not so much. Maybe you need to think about 2012. The Mayan calendar says that’s the end of the world. Perhaps that’s your year.
Just sayin’.

To John McCain
Oh hell, John. Admit to your Senior Moments. Tell them that having Lieberman whisper in your ear is exactly how Reagan ran the country. And lots of naps.
The American people love someone who embraces their defects.
Just sayin’.

To My Characters
You have been extremely annoying lately. With Donny (my villain from “Taking Command”) suddenly beginning to natter away at me and Kiera (from a wip “Legend of Fools”) refusing to talk to me, I’m starting to think you’re out to get me. Why can’t you all just get along? The weirdest thing is when ya’ll start arguing about who should get written first. Don’t worry. The kids are on Spring Break this week. NONE of you are getting attention.
Just sayin’.
P.S. Donny, leave me alone in the shower, would ya’?

  • Have a great week - I’m glad you had a nice Easter too, you deserved it :)

  • Thanks Debora!

  • Sounds like you had an awesome Easter… glad to hear it. And you make me cry every time you mention Michelle… does she really have to move? Can’t they just commute to another state? It’s breaking my heart to know what good friends you are.

  • I’m glad Easter worked out good for you. When I started to read your first sentence about it, about whether or not your MIL has been reading your blogs, I was thinking - oohhh, it sounds like maybe she shouldn’t be!!! But then you were very nice and I hope she did read it. You prolly made her day. Sorry about Michelle :o(. I hope my friends would say the same if I was leaving!

  • Well, I’m one of those old ladies who is sticking with Hillary. If Obama is the nominee, I’ll vote for McCain. I don’t trust Obama. There’s something about him that rubs me the wrong way. Maybe it’s because I’m a “typical white person”.

  • omg…your character bothers you in the bathroom?? (you write some “realistic” characters, lol) Yeah–life is better with friends, and you guys ROCK!!

  • Huh, some characters have no shame. ;)
    I’m glad you have an enjoyable and peaceful Easter.

  • Um, Sandi, some of my posts have been…..less than flattering to my MIL. I’m pretty sure I would have heard about it if she’d read my blog. Pretty sure.

    Lucinda, I have my doubts about Obama. I don’t think it’s because I’m a “typical white person” but because I’ve seen the politician with the hopeful, pretty message that becomes something else in office. Call me a cynic, but I don’t know if I can buy what he’s selling.

    Jodi, you’re much brighter than a nightlight. Just sayin’.

    Shelley, Donny has absolutely NO SHAME. Writing the scene he showed me will be…challenging. It was dirrrrrty. LOL.

  • Hehehe. Girlie, you always put a big smile on my face. I get annoyed with fictional characters quite frequently. ;-)

  • Well, hopefully not MY fictional characters. LOL.
    Good to “see” you ATM.

  • Okay, I am sooooooooooooo glad I’m not the only one who has their characters interrupt a perfectly good shower. I mean, really, how many times do I have to wash my hair before I realize I’ve already washed it three other times! (((HUGS))) again on the Michelle situation. I’m so sorry, sweety. I know its not the same, but I love ya. Call me if ya want to talk. *MWAH*

  • You know who loves ya baby! Back at ya!

  • 9 lbs, 5oz?! Wow! I hope my own Tadpole doesn’t come out quite as big as that - ouch!

  • I wouldn’t worry, Kell. Dayna has BIG babies. Graeden was actually smaller than her last one.
