TRUE STORY: It Was Only a Dream

I spent forty-five minutes this morning tearing the house apart, looking for the new purse and lap-top bag I’d scored for a heckofa discount. They’re kind-of matchey-matchey which usually isn’t my style, but I loved them and bought them anyway.

And now I can’t find them anywhere.

They are both blue with a sort of distressed finish, and the purse slings perfectly onto my shoulder. The lap-top bag has just the right amount of little pockets for all my stuff – one for my phone, one for my glasses, another for my sunglasses, and one for my pens and gum. And both have the cutest fabric lining the interior – a floral pattern that was exactly like the cupcake wrappers I used for Alice’s birthday party.

Wait a minute. Exactly like the cupcake wrappers I used for Alice’s birthday party?

Exactly like them?

Awww, crap. Crapcrapcrapcrapcraponacracker. It was a dream. I dreamed them SO HARD that I actually thought they were real.

Now I haz the sadz. Must medicate with more coffee.

TRUE STORY: If it’s too good to be true, it probably was a dream.

Life Happens

We’ve all been there, right? Trucking along, thinking we have it all under control, and then wham! 

We realize we don’t. And at that moment we can either let the hard, unsignalled left turns of life throw us into a tailspin, or we can pull up our big girl panties and just get on with it.

I choose to just get on with it.

You guys, I’m so sorry, but RECKONING won’t be ready to publish until summertime. It’s nobody’s fault – life just happened and the editing process is taking a little longer than I’d expected. I hope you’ll hang on with me for a few more months to find out what happens next in Aydan and Rein and Brig’s lives – and so much happens. I think it will be worth the wait, but I’m a little biased…

I’ll try to make the wait easier in the meantime. I’m planning some giveaways, and I’ll post some excerpts (the non-spoilery sort), along with a surprise or two while we count the days.

The first giveaway is happening NOW over on my Facebook page (click here). Super easy to enter – all the deets will be on the post with the picture you see on the left. My giveaways are always a surprise – I never spoil what’s in the package – but I think you’ll like it!

Loads of love,

Maybe That Day is Today

Some days there just isn’t enough coffee.

Some days the ability to be creative takes a hike.

Some days the Terrible Twos are truly terrible.

Maybe that day is today.

 

Some days you drink coffee just because you love it and not because you need it.

Some days you feel pretty even without makeup.

Some days you blow your goals out of the water and feel like a goddess doing it.

Maybe that day is today.

 

Some days you will cry for no reason.

Some days you will cry for good reason.

Some days you will laugh until you cry.

Maybe that day is today.

 

Some days you will pay it forward.

Some days you will reap it back.

Some days you won’t give at all.

Maybe that day is today.

 

Some days feel like a book that hasn’t been opened.

Some days feel like a story that shouldn’t have been told at all.

Some days feel like there is no discernible plot.

Maybe that day is today.

 

And that’s okay.
