20:45 walked 45 mins 2nt. Cut it short b/c 11 yo son whined the whole time. At least I had @billycurrington on my iPod to make me happy #

08:13 getting a late start. Yesterday's workout has me feeling a bit wobbly this morning #

08:14 Didn't run yesterday, but walked 4 miles in 45 mins, which is faster than my so-called run. Plus did the circuit room and abs. #

09:17 It's a blog-o-rama! ack! tinyurl.com/lo6mo5 #

09:31 is it good or bad that the first song to come on when I powered up my playlist is Islands in a Stream? (the Kenny/Dolly version) #

09:35 have decided it is not a country kinda day, switching to Hall & Oates station on Pandora. should be much less depressing. Heh #

10:17 each blackberry I eat tastes better than the first. I think they must've been fertilized with faerie dust #

10:31 found out we have a dept lunch today. Bonus. No #leancuisine for lunch! #

10:40 ♫ baby come back! you can blame it all on me! I was wrong and I just can't live without you! ♪ @jaciburton #

11:06 Fictionistas My Fav YA Blogs tinyurl.com/n8ty45 #

13:01 lunch was fabulous. grilled blackened chicken spinach salad with bleu cheese dressing. YUM so much better than #leancuisine #

13:58 ♫ hold me now! ♪ hold my ♥ ♩ stay with me, let lovin' start ♬ #

14:11 oh Huey Lewis. I do love you. Which means, yes, i do believe in love. #

15:08 I've been under the delusion that today was THURSDAY. to say I'm disappointed would be understating the matter. #

21:42 experienced nature w/ @jennchristman tonight. We saw a skunk, an armadillo, a feral cat, and we were attacked by horseflies. #

08:08 just blogged about Rader's debut as a jr chef, am hitting the shower and going to work for a short day! #

08:52 It's a blog-o-rama! Jr Chef tinyurl.com/kle8ml #

09:16 am a little overwhelmed by Diane Pershing's 'response' to @DeidreKnight's blog on epubbing. Defensive much? #RWAfail #

09:17 I'll admit to not knowing much about the epub business, but I don't understand why RWA is so resistant. so many members love epub. #

09:22 isn't the huge majority of the 10,000 RWA members unpubbed in print? or just unpubbed period? So why exclude epub? her logic is illogical #

09:24 also really hate the fall back 'no org will make all members happy' as an excuse not to change or explore new options #

09:28 Pershing asks if @DeidreKnight reps any clients who want to remain epub only. What does that have to do with RWA's lack of vision? #

09:43 Shayla Black's response in the comments makes a lot of sense to me & maybe Pershing shd read it without that chip on her shoulder #

09:51 the more I read Pershing's response, the more frustrated I become. It is more of an attack on Deidre than it is about RWA's stance on epub #

11:05 I broke down and responded to Pershing's statement. I hope I made sense. #

11:26 ok anon irritated me and I had to say something. srsly. this defensive crap is so damn JR HIGH #

11:31 RT @SmartBitches: PLZ RT: Want info on location of Rogue Digital Seminar 10a 16 July: txt ROGUE to 68398. We'll text you with location deets #

11:33 gotta go for a while. Taking kid to gma's then he'll spend weekend w/ his dad while I swim, mow, & attend local RWA meeting #

22:08 and now she's criticizing her French date saying that American Men are better than French men. THey're more manly! WTF? #

22:10 ok. wow. apparently the french guy she was criticizing is her fiance. Hmmmm. Not looking good #

22:15 oh dear lord, the crack whore just admitted to killing her boyfriend in Taxi Cab Confessions #

22:16 methinks she's lying a bit #

22:24 odd thought of day: if a stripper gets a pimple on her ass, does she call in sick? b/c rly, is there anythng less sexy than an ass pimple? #

22:26 #helpiranelection - show support for democracy in Iran add green overlay to your Twitter avatar with 1-click - helpiranelection.com/ #

22:32 maybe the stripper with the ass-pimple gives a lap dance discount #
