Let's see if you can guess.

The Man graduated from ASU (go devils!!) last December. Now he wants me to go back to school and finish my degree. So here I am, wracking my brain to think of something I want to do besides writing oodles of best-sellers since that career isn't such a guaranteed win.
So I thought. And thought. And wondered. And scrunched up my face with all the wondering and thinking. This is what I've been thinking. What if I went back to school to become....

A bride? Nope. I've already done that.

Jennifer Lopez? Uh, no. Impossible, not to mention creepy.

Completely insane? Maybe.

Notice the nicely visible amalgam filling on her mandibular right molar. wow. I have been a dental assistant for WAY too long.

Have you put it together yet? If not, keep going.

I'm thinking about becoming...

A tee-shirt.

No, a Wedding Planner. 

But I'm a little freaked out. It's a huge commitment, a lot of money to invest, and I'm not sure I'm cut out for the business-woman thing. Plus I don't want to be the career-oriented type because I want to be a full-time mom someday.

But oh, I love weddings!! I'm hoping I'll get to help plan for my bff's wedding coming up in July. I immediately began thinking up a place for her shower, cake, photographer, flowers, venue for reception...

I'm hopeless.

I also have an eye for details, I like helping people, I'm REALLY used to getting ordered and bossed around, and I am sooooooooooooo ready for a career change. I know that wedding planning is not at all like it is in the movies, but being a part of lots of "big days" would be so cool.

Wouldn't it? I don't know.

Happy Birthday!!!

Whew! Final B-day in March. My little younger brother. Happy 22nd, Steve! You're the greatest!

Book Signing!

It wasn't for my book. Heh heh. I'm not there yet. It was for the fifth and final book in the FANTASTIC Fablehaven series by Brandon Mull.

He's a very nice guy. Very warm, very kind, and very appreciative of his fans. I waited for two hours and it was totally worth it. I'm so glad that I got to meet him again. (I met him the first time when I got the first two books from the series signed a couple years ago).
Now I have a FULL SET of signed Fablehaven books!!!

 Me and Brandon Mull.

Special thanks to the very nice lady who so graciously agreed to take these pictures and email them to me!

Funny Story...

You know how you sometimes have those AHA moments in the oddest times and places?
Here is mine. Funny story.
I was in the shower. An odd place, but there I was.
And I got an idea. Out of nowhere.
And this was born:

New story blog!

Letters to Lizzie

by Kadence

This is about a fifteen-year-old girl named Kadence who writes letters to Elizabeth Bennet, the heroine from the popular Jane Austen novel, Pride and Prejudice.

It's just a fun little story blog that will hopefully bring a little twinkle in your eye or a chuckle to your tummy.

Spread it like wildfire. If you want. I'd appreciate it!

Happy Birthday!!!

Again. We have lots of March birthdays in our family. The first one, I failed to acknowledge. (Sorry, K!)
March 1st, my future sis-in-law celebrated her 21st B-day. We love you! Welcome to the family!
Here she is with me bro.

Today is my daddy's birthday!
Here's a picture of him with me mum.


Happy Birthday, Dad! Lunch with you and Grandpa today was so much fun! Thanks for all you do, you're the best!

Rain?

I woke up this morning, obscenely early I might add, and couldn't sleep because of an incessant tapping noise. Where was it coming from? The ceiling fan? Probably.

As I lay there and tried to go back to sleep, I listened more and realized... IT'S RAINING!!

Wait... it's not raining! It couldn't be raining. It was sunny as ever yesterday, not a cloud in sight. How could it be raining? I'm imagining things. Or maybe it's just the sprinklers. Wishful thinking. No rain. Nope.

I even looked out the window that overlooks our garden. It didn't look like it was raining. But then again, it was around 5:40 in the morning.

So I got up. Oh it's definitely raining. I can tell it is now.

I looked out the window in the front door to see the cascade of water running off the rooftop!

HOORAY!!! It's raining!

Arizona people are so weird. We love rain. If I wasn't sitting in my robe and socks and if I wasn't trying to conserve energy for my long work day ahead, I'd go play in it.

Happy Birthday!!!

To this lovely, talented lady. No, she's not a weirdo like me who likes to dress up in Medieval Garb. This is just a picture I photoshopped. And there's more where that came from, guys!

Hope you have a wonderful day, Jen! You're the best! I'm so grateful to have you as my big sister!



Lookin good! he he he he he
