First, Isn’t she so cute? Let me hear it now….Awwwww. I’m not ready for this! Last week, Abigail lost one of her top teeth. Now this isn’t the first tooth she lost. The middle bottom teeth came out months ago, and these top two teeth have taken their precious time to loosen. So I don’t think it’s the tooth coming …
Super Bowl Champs!
Last night I got to see Eric as excited as I think I’ve ever seen him. He was pretty intense for a stoic Norwegian as the game rolled. I have to admit we were a bit worried when the opening kick-off resulted in a Chicago Bears touchdown. Not the way you want the first 20 seconds of a game to …
Moderation in all things???
Today I saw an article in the Indianapolis Star about the oldest living woman in the United States. She happens to be a farm girl from Indiana. And she’s 113. She’s also the second oldest person in the world. What I loved is that she ate all kinds of foods that we’re told are bad for us. She loves radio, …
Legal Plots
Usually, I see the law at work all around me. There’s nothing like spending time with a doctor to realize just how many different ways lawyers impact our lives. I remember years ago going in for the pre-op consult on my wisdom teeth. What did they do? Plop me in front of a TV and make me watch a video …
ADVANCE: I think I just might be an author!
No, I didn’t have a book signing (though I helped with a couple friends’ signings). Since my book isn’t out till October there’s really nothing to sign. But I had a badge to get in to ADVANCE, and we markered AUTHOR on the bottom of ours. In many ways, walking around the floor at ADVANCE was like a kiss from …
Advance
Tuesday and Wednesday I’ll be at the Christian Booksellers Association Advance in Indy. I don’t think I could be more excited if I had a ticket to the Grammys. Or Oscars. Or fill in your blank event. I have wanted to go to a CBA conference since my friend Joanna got to go while her Dad was an exec for …
And the Winner is…
Anicz. Congratulations, you’ve won a copy of Scoop!
Two Great Books
This week I had time to read two great books. The first was Death, Deceit and some Smooth Jazz by Claudia Mair Burney. The second was If the Shoe Fits by Marilyn Griffith. These were the first books I’d read by both these women, but won’t be the last. If the Shoe Fits focuses on the life of Rochelle Gardner, …
You Know You’re in Nebraska when…
According to Jeff Foxworthy (and experience) you know you’re in Nebraska if: If your local Dairy Queen is closed from September through May …..you live in Nebraska. If someone in a Home Depot store offers you assistance and they don’t work there …. you live in Nebraska. If you’ve worn shorts and a parka at the same time …. you …
Anyone want to run for President?
Throw your hat in the ring. Come on. You know you want to. Well at least a quarter of the US Senators want to and the rest are probably thinking about it. If you watched any of the post State of the Union coverage, most of the discussion seemed to focus on whether Republicans can recover and the spin of …
