Just hobnobbin with famous people...

I spent the weekend at the NJWP conference and while there I had the privilege of meeting the talented Mr. Walter Dean Myers. He is the author of 30+ young adult novels. In his presentation, he mentioned that he started taking his writing seriously after he had a wife to feed and then followed it up by saying and she eats a lot! The audience of 95% women naturally cracked up. After waiting in a lengthy line for his autograph, I approached him and said that I must be related to his wife. He looked at me for a moment puzzled and then I said, "I eat a lot too"!

Conferences are so motivating! Lookout Room 212 estudiantes, here I come!


My apologies for the poor quality picture.

Help! I'm Married to a Partially Dead Person!

I have so much to share, but I can't find my cord to download pictures from my camera and my *&$% phone is not working AGAIN so I can't download pictures from there either! Off to AT&T I go later today ( loud sigh). Who really needs an I-Phone anyway? Anywho, I thought I'd post an update on hubby! He's recovering nicely after his second surgery in one month. However, I'm now married to a partially dead person! And no, he isn't that old! He is now the proud owner of a costly plate, 8 screws, and cadaver bones in his neck! I try not to think about it! Too bad the screws are on the inside and not on the oustside, he could have made a perfect Frankenstein for Halloween...shhh...don't tell him I said that!

Cadaver bones...really?
