I hope the visit to the animal hospital will bring some good news.<br />I will be looking forward to reading your book some day.<br />I love the recent posts above, and will be visiting, this month frequently as the little gifts are so wonderful. I am thinking of making your mother's ravioli for my son and I at Christmas, although I may use gluten free flour. :)<br />Hugs,<br />Brenda<br /><br />Mullin Avenue Workshophttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09489785153205822301noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22678097.post-20362396440104630642012-12-02T09:39:54.783-05:002012-12-02T09:39:54.783-05:00(how the heck was i not following you???!!!)))(how the heck was i not following you???!!!)))erinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16636371927224076866noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22678097.post-76856762495407750352012-12-02T09:38:34.585-05:002012-12-02T09:38:34.585-05:00i'm so glad you included the opening preface h...i'm so glad you included the opening preface here, kj. it is tantalizing enough (and must be!) to invite the reader into your style and the mystery of story. no wonder there was positive response. i'm beaming))) <br /><br />we're in limbo this year (but aren't we always, really?) and stuffed into the two bedroom basement apartment, our new home are away without furniture and without us! we still waiting on immigration. and so christmas decorating will have to be inside the spirit rather than inside the house. yesterday james and i ate clementines while sitting in the cold car alongside an icy river listening to what are probably pretty bad christmas carols but i smelled my fingers from the rind and it couldn't have been more christmas-like. now i need to get my children to peel clementines and smell their fingers. then we'll really be getting somewhere:)))<br /><br />your town looks so warm.<br /><br />xo<br />erinerinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16636371927224076866noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22678097.post-38446483761072980082012-11-30T17:38:41.417-05:002012-11-30T17:38:41.417-05:00I could have sworn I commented before.

I have your back :)<br /><br />When I get stressed about starting/finishing a project Bri always reminds me that the deadline is arbitrary because I'm setting it myself.<br /><br />A real commission is pressure, sure, but a work in progress should just unfold naturally. Even if it causes some anguish and frustration along the way. <br /><br />This book will be born, like children, in its own time ;)<br /><br />xoxo<br />Love,<br />Lo♥ studio lolohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15363808478293833466noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22678097.post-31398564500125380332012-11-30T10:40:59.897-05:002012-11-30T10:40:59.897-05:00Thanks deb :-)Thanks deb :-)kjhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15122196887043345981noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22678097.post-85934851851324983262012-11-30T10:07:00.648-05:002012-11-30T10:07:00.648-05:00Extra kisses for JB, I am glad her nieces have her...Extra kisses for JB, I am glad her nieces have her as well.<br />Extra kisses for you too.<br />xoxoAnnie Coehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01980814479525038344noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22678097.post-18750110605161956012012-11-30T09:53:59.116-05:002012-11-30T09:53:59.116-05:00I like that preface, it intrigues me.

There is no time line on boos so that one for now has to go into the want category. I know you will disagree but Christmas trappings can also go into the same place.<br /><br />Sounds to me the two kids, JB, the dog, and the other stuff that is world altering is the needs category. But then we all prioritize differently maybe the book is a need and sleep is a want. *shrug* when was the last time, even though you obsessed you failed to complete a task?the walking manhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10058913927297370740noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22678097.post-23326441164745508292012-11-30T00:49:09.362-05:002012-11-30T00:49:09.362-05:00Sometimes life puts a lot on your plate......

I will find ways to make it a happy time though and so will you.<br />I feel for those girls, losing both parents is hard, you feel very alone for a while, I am glad they have one another.<br />I hope JB is healing up, kisses to Chase.<br />As for your other book that wants to come, I would let it.<br />Love and hugs.xoxoAnniehttp://blissful-bohemian.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22678097.post-17440153744197233352012-11-28T20:39:21.267-05:002012-11-28T20:39:21.267-05:00By the way, I have no idea why my attempt to use i...By the way, I have no idea why my attempt to use italics html for "does" didn't work.Secret Agent Womanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07564690116156754219noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22678097.post-68383196960597745222012-11-28T20:32:06.680-05:002012-11-28T20:32:06.680-05:00Aww,cs.........
