6 Candles…and nothin’
Oh my goodness can I blame it on Sandy? No? If you look for October 25th you’ll see there is no post for that day. Don’t ask me what I was doing or where my head was at, but one thing was sure, it definitely wasn’t where it was supposed to be and that was on Jack. Well, actually it was on Jack because I’m sure I was busy giving him ear drops and eye wipes or whatever we’ve been doing these few weeks, but in the mix of all that and preparing for Sandy I totally forgot my star dog’s 6th birthday. Gah!
Totally and completely forgot. Jack had a total Molly Ringwald, 16 Candles moment.
I didn’t remember until after visiting the fab Ina in Alaska and the super cool Frau’s blogs and seeing their fantastic birthday tributes to their dogs . It was then that my slow mind got to whirring. I’m so sorry Jack. If only you could read and know how sorry I truly am.
He’s hoping your never given Hanukkah gift saved from last year is a good enough consolation prize.
One that as I finish typing this post, has lasted all of 16 minutes before you ripped it to shreds. Oh well, as the DH says, everyday is a birthday for Jack!
Love and Hugs to you my writing guard dog and daily crack up.

Forward…
A new storm may be coming but I’m so thrilled today that the storm of the election season has passed. I got 2 wonderful late night happy calls from my first time voter twins with tales from the college campuses and the excitement of the moment when the election was called for The President. I so enjoyed hearing the joy and the expectant optimism in both their voices. What an amazing and proud mama feeling.

Now I feel energized and ready to move forward to finish up the current book I’m working on (book 2 in my Creative Hearts series). Let’s hope I keep the power through this next storm. But no real worries because either way I’m pushing #Forward no matter what.
All the best,
KMJ

6 Nights 7 Days
So 6 nights, 7 days have passsed and it’s early Sunday evening I’m at a friend’s charging up and using her fancy Wi-Fi when my cell starts to buzz. Lo and behold it’s my next door neighbor calling to say we’ve got the power! Oh to the yes!! How happy am I? To be warm again. Warm again! What an amazing feeling. Just to not have to go to yet another place with my extension cord.
I can’t believe I made it this long or that I turned out to be a little more resilient than I thought. Also I’m feeling way thankful and so very blessed to have the friends and family that I do, with always a kind word and an open door even if I was a bit stubborn at times. But as for now, at least for today, I feel like the storm has finally passed and just in time because as you can see Jack was getting a bit on edge. The poor thing was over it.
Wishing you all the best,
Me and the Jackster
Weathering…
Happy Monday! Wishing everyone a lovely and a safe one wherever you are. Me, I’m in the NYC area. Charging and recharging, battening down the hatches and hoping to hold onto the bit of power that I have through the storm. Oh well, if I do lose power at least I have Halloween candy to eat and plenty of paper to write on.
Wherever you are I hope you are safe and there are calm skies on the horizon.
All the best,
KMJ

Local Author-lebrity
So it seems I’m local famous (ok maybe in my own head but let’s go with it for this here post). You see my town’s local paper did a piece on me and Through The Lens and it came out today with a photo and everything! Once I got over the shock of that and my huge head (man it’s large and in color) I conceded that it was pretty cool. I love the headline and the fact the owner of the town’s hardware store ran over to me right away when I was picking up leaf bags to give a nice congrats and say, “hey I know you!” That was really sweet. ‘D’ list here I come!
All the best,
KMJ
It’s Coming!
It’s Coming !
Did you hear me? Get to moving because it’s coming!!
So it seems everyone on the east coast, including alarmist me, are all up in arms over the impending Frankenstorm coming just in time to ruin Halloween for children everywhere. I’m preparing by taking care of the essentials like: extra batteries, extra cookies, full charge on my cell and of course a full charge on my e-reader and making sure I have enough books downloaded to get me though any weather.
If you are looking for a good read to take you away from the frightful weather might I suggest my own island getaway Through The Lens. Just look to your right and click on over on your favorite platform.
Have a great weekend and please share what you will be doing to prepare for the week ahead in the comments.
All the best,
K.M.J

Oh to the Reality-wait can I see your ID?
Will I Watch? I don’t know.
I’m I afraid but totally drawn in? Of course. The producers have done their jobs there.
Do I think this show is a total mistake and will be viewed at in about 25 minutes though the lens of “Being Bobby Brown” as just that? Yes, I do.
As a mother of a couple of 18 year olds this show just makes me itch and not in good, well at least they are adults Not So Real Housewives sort of way. All I can say is please let most of it be scripted and campy and a total Seacrest-esque production. These people don’t need the drama.
What say you peeps?
All the best,
Me
