July:
I was invited to join Policy Council at Head Start, plus decided to attend the weekly Writer's Guild meeting at Zander's coffee shop. K began working in the potato fields, and reported wildlife coming down the conveyor belt (a live skunk, snakes, and even a bird). At the end of the month, he was scheduled for a tonsillectomy. S turned 14 and received a laptop.....before I did! D bought me a rolly cart (milk crate on wheels with a top), and I sold 2 books at Border's Bookstore. A and J arrived for a visit, and I took them to the pool and for ice cream before meeting up with their mother in Terre Haute. Author Kelly Kirch and her family ended up staying in a motel in E'ville; S, W and I went down to spend a few hours with them. I also spent all of the 4th of July weekend writing All She Ever Wanted:)
Aug:
I managed to get myself elected Policy Council secretary; I also set up at the State Fair for the Author Showcase and only sold one book, but passed out a LOT of promo and hung out with KC, though she drove me nuts at time. I thought I was going to get a sale, when she distracted the woman about something, and she forgot all about my two books. We went on the Midway and I rode the hang glider ride, Ferris Wheel, and Bobsleds. Took home deep-fried cookie dough, and my daughter even climbed out of bed w/o a fuss and tried it, declared it delicious, then got dressed and was at school on time. Took the kids to the county fair, and everyone had a good time. Another author sent me the info about her publisher's call for submissions for an anthology, so I sent off my two short stories, All She Ever Wanted and Appetite For Desire. Started counting down the days until W started school!
Next Month: Being Passed Over Again....

Present Day:
Dad has had issues with his blood pressure ever since I returned (no, I'm not the cause, lol!), so I've driven Mrs. Sato the past two days. Mom has PT today, then I hope we'll go out to eat:)
