AMELIA ISLAND, FLORIDA:
Sunday 16 September 2012
Today I am tying up loose ends on a manuscript. I hate this part. I’m still trying to get everything caught up before heading up to North Carolina to the Writers Police Academy. I can’t keep up with more than 100 emails a day, and more and more of the emails from writers’ groups (that are supposed to deal with writing) but simply provide a platform to send political hate mail.

I’m spending a lot of time scanning in all my financial documents and trying to figure out how to get the last six chapters of my current work in progress finished. I see my phone has received 37 hang ups (if I get another political call I’ll be very, very nasty to the unwitting caller, no matter who. One pol says he’s only taking a 45 second survey—really? And what is it you want to know? In the meantime, I’m trying to figure out FACEBOOK but have not really got the hang of it. Oh well, next week maybe I’ll try to master twitter.

JOKE OF THE DAY:
Woman: (to pharmacist in small town) (not Macks Creek, Missouri, ha.) “I need arsenic.”
Pharmacist: “Why?”
Woman: “To kill my husband.”
Pharmacist: “That’s illegal.”
The woman pulled out a picture of her husband and a woman in a compromising position. The woman is the pharmacist’s wife. He takes the photo.
Pharmacist: “Oh, that’s different. I didn’t know you had a prescription!”

DOG RULE #3
I have been using a bathroom for years. Canine attendance is not mandatory or even necessary.

TIP OF THE DAY:
Freezing herbs:
Place herbs in a blender with water, then freeze the slush in an ice cube tray. Fill only half way. When nearly frozen, fill the tray up with water & pop it back in. The herbs won’t float.
