I got the package

And no worries - it's also exactly like me.
My Mom (another Fish) is cast in the same mold as well. She swore up and down that she wrote to me every week that I was in basic training...she did. I had a huge pile of addressed, stamped envelopes waiting when I came home for Christmas Break.

I can't wait to read it, though it may have to wait til Meg's naptime.
Gah, gotta go - I dashed back here to write while Meg's preoccupied with her snack, and it sounds like her love of food's given way to her love of hearing things hit the floor.

THANK YOU for sending it out

This answers my question from the other thread. I'm glad it made it! Of course, there was little doubt it would once I actually took it to the Post Office. Your Mom...

I have done the very same thing so many times. I still find letters to my best friend that I've written, sealed, and stamped, then never mailed. Some of them are 30 years old. Its kind of cool, because when I run across one, I hang onto it until next time I see her and we read it together. Its great. Sort of a time capsule.

As Trillian can attest, I have been nose to the grindstone so much for the past few months, I have barely even checked my e-mail. But now that the series is written, I will be around more. I just can't let myself come to Lindaland when I have deadlines looming or I will just hang around here talking with you guys and putting off my work until I start to panic and sweatr blood.

One really cool thing happened this week. Something that I wrote has been recommended by the Ministry of Education here in BC as part of the new grades K-7 Science curriculum. I am so happy!!! There is a pretty good chance it will go into Alberta as well. Now the ministry wants to negotiate with me for a per copy price. I have to reasearch similar educational materials to decide what to ask for. If it goes well...Lindaland meet and greet in Paris!!! Well, maybe Cripple Creek. OK, I'll send out e-mails with big smilies on them. Maybe I'll just post something with a smilie.

Hey Trillian...are you still around?? I'll e-mail you soon. I have meetings later today, but tomorrow is looking good!!!

Hello lovely ladies...FK, I know I owe you email.

Finally got my new PC set up...and found that the crash on my old one was a true hard drive crash. I lost nearly everything, years of photos, writings, etc. I also lost the most recent draft of my 1st novel, and the floppy on which I saved it doesn't seem to want to boot up either. I'm trying other computers to retrieve it (did you know new computers don't have floppy drives?! They are considered obsolete!). I have resigned myself to accepting that the Universe, in her infinite wisdom, is advising me to use the most recent hard copy of the novel to transcribe it once again into the computer, and work on the changes that need to be made in that manner. Which means that novel #2 may take a bit of a back seat for a while...but the bug to write is gnawing at me, as is the determination to once again begin contacting publishers/agents.

This week I am doing the morning show which has me rising at 3:50 a.m. so I am so out of sorts, but I think of you often, FK, and promise to write before the week is through. And what good news about your project! Congrats, and looking forward to hearing more!

Proxie, do you have my email addy? Because I always want to know you, and watch as your beautiful life unfolds. Please let's keep in touch.

Trill, that's so horrible! My work computer went down with way too much information that was never backed up. My producer ended up paying a thousand bucks for a data recovery thing. It did work, however,and they were able to get everything back. On a personal level, I have lost complete novels due to hard drive failure, etc. Sometimes I think it is just the universe telling us to rethink what we are putting out there. Good luck, my friend! I'll talk to you soon.
