To The Extreme
So the DH says I’m a little kooky but with two kids going off to college and the pressure mounting, I’m feeling the heat. So after watching the new TLC show Extreme Couponing I’m calling my new file system Stylishly Frugal.
Besides I’m sure The Dh will rein me in right before I cross over into Crazy Town and start hoarding mustard. Now TP? Hey, he won’t be able to stop me there. That stuff goes fast! LOL.
Ok that IS a lot of toilet paper even for my family!

A Rainy Smile
Hello friends how are you all? Chime in and tell me what’s going in your parts of the world to get me out of mine for a bit.
It’s serious April Showers going on here which I really shouldn’t complain about since the showers bring the flowers and all that. But of course my dear bloggy friends you all know me too well and complain I will as the showers are coming when we are doing our great twin northeast college tours.
And these tours, boy, they are teaching me just how old I really am. Over and rivers and through the woods I go on my bad toe, and ouch, halfway through I feel need to sit and rub out the pain wishing my foot doctor was on hand with a cortisone shot. Must the dorms be so far from the lecture halls? Yes, these colleges they are for the young.
Oh well, hopefully in a few weeks the tours will be done and most questions will be answered. In the meantime I’ve got a dollar, two dreams and a smile. Fingers crossed.
Maybe I need a sweet Burberry umbrella?

Staying Alive
Hi peeps!
Happy Monday. Just a quick pop in to let you know that I’m Staying Alive. Maybe not in the oiled up style of John here but I’m hanging in my own way.
Had a very busy week with the DD finishing her last dance company benefit. She danced so beautifully and yes there were tears on both our parts. I tell you seeing your now young adult child take her final bows does it to you. Time to get ready for life part 2.
So that said, I’m now I guess on only a partial blog break (you know I can’t shut it). I will going into my writing cave and will stick my head out like a turtle to see the light at times. Plenty of college decisions to make this month and lots of places to visit. Wish us luck!

Wandering Mind
What’s Jack up to? What hasn’t he been up to is the question? He’s been having quite the mind of his own lately. Doing what he wants when he wants. Just look at this face… Think there’s any reasoning with him?
In the meantime I’ve been quite the pushover and letting him run all over me. You see I’m still in college H -E double L with the acceptances (thank God) and the rejections and even dreaded waitlists (UGH!) for the dear twins. And now we are waiting to hear about finances for these here schools so life is just nuts.
I’m also in wait mode to hear back about my edits from my agent so on the professional front I’m on pins and needles right now too and for a woman with no patience it’s pretty hard to take. Talk about no sleep and muscle spasms? Let’s not go there.
But I’m trying to write through it when I can get a free moment in my wondering mind which is rare. But I must since I feel I’m writing for my life right now.
That said I think I will be sporadic on ye old blog because I’m feeling a need to give myself a break in at least one area. But you know me, I’m sure I can’t stay away. I will be popping in over at your places when I can and you can always find me on twitter @kwanawrites and over at The Loft talking books!
See you soon. Hopefully with some closure and a high word count. Funny what writers dream of.

Bathing Beauty
I had my first visitor to the birdbath the other day. Too bad the water froze over again overnight. I’ll be so happy when Spring springs for real up our way.
Oh well I hope it’s warming up where you are.

So I heard this song three no maybe it was four times today while running around with the dear teen twins to and from practices and in and out of malls. I’m thinking the New York D-Jays musta had it on a loop this weekend. So for that I’m inviting you into my world. Welcome.
