Rom-Coms with Real Mess, Real Magic, Real Heart.
This is why I love flea marketing and gardening: seeing it all come together on our kitchen window sill!
Or, bathroom window sill: I use these lovely Mason Jars (a steal! from an antique store in New Hampshire USA) to store my sea salts, soaps, and bath beads on the sill just above our bathtub. How do you display some of your favorite flea market finds?
1 year old Marmie: You think it’s safe to go out there? That white stuff is truly gone?
15 year old Sam: Our person is in there, typing away all day on that warm flat silver device she won’t let us sit on. I don’t want to leave her side. She seems like she needs me. Especially when she stands up and screams.
12 year old Shadow: But it smells like those feathered creatures with wings out here. I gotta go gotta go gotta go oo boy!
Sam: She’s forgetting to open the big white cold beast to nourish herself. She’s only getting up from that chair and that warm flat silver device to feed us, and to feed these gerbera daisies (I heard her call them that. She loves naming her flowers out loud). No. I’m really worried about her. I won’t leave her side.
Marmie: She’s fine. She had enough energy to yell at me when I ate her swimsuit. She’s fine.
Shadow: You ate her swimsuit?
Marmie: Just the strings. They were so salty! Delish!
Sam: I’m going back inside. I heard her say she’s at 8,300 words, but she’s tired. She needs me.
Shadow: She’d better portray cats in a nice light in this novel. I’m sick of being portrayed as mindless creatures who lick themselves all day long. Hm. I wonder what these daisies taste like?
Marmie: Big furry beast with teeth on a leash! Run! Run! Run for your life!
Sam: Oh brother.
I woke to find this phrase in my Twitter newsfeed. Not retweeted once, or twice, like I’m used to, but filling the entire newsfeed. People have been retweeting an interview I did for the wonderful site Celebrating Authors, with wonderful interviewer & author Carolyn Arnold (@Carolyn_Arnold) since it came out yesterday, and haven’t stopped yet. It’s pretty much all I see in my @ twitter feed every few minutes. It makes me chuckle and smile. I told my almost-8-year-old daughter and she said, “People want to know about the POET. That’s why. They want to know funny things about you!” I laughed. Well, now, certainly, all of Twitter does! 🙂
Here’s the interview http://celebratingauthors.blogspot.ca/2013/04/i-can-shake-my-eyeballs-back-and-forth.html and thanks again to Carolyn for inviting me to Celebrating Authors!
I wanted to remind you all that I’m a featured author this month on Authorgraph.com and very happy to sign your digital books (you’ll get a PDF for your ipad and other signatures go directly to your Kindle and other e-devices! It’s really simple and very cool. )

Just had to share a few of my beautiful birthday gifts – purple
tulips from a dear old friend who joined me for tea on Thursday (April 11th) and one of four butterfly wine glasses (I got these using gift money from my parents and in-laws). I’m looking forward to using these gorgeous glasses out on the patio, if it ever stops snowing here!
Are these gifts perfect for me or what? So maybe I shouldn’t call it ‘getting older’, I’m just getting easier to buy for!
Happy Weekend everyone – CHEERS!
