This is my new fav song from Hedley. Started another new job (yes, as a teacher I know that I'm supposed to be the steady one, but we are in a downward swing on the economic pendulum and those of us on the lower end get shook loose first).

And no, I will not apologize for not posting more regularly...okay, so I apologize. I even had the contest in December and couldn't quite shake myself out the Holiday Dumps (dangerous of being single in your 30s I guess but I'm not nearly as fearless as my characters) long enough to take high advantage of it. My brother came up to the North and cheered me up some and I now have a goal to get out of here. I started aquacise, a new job (never taught munchkins who aren't as high as my waist before...there may be a reason, we shall see), a new diet (ummm, yeah...) and basically going insane. Oh, and writing. So yeah, I was busy.

On the plus side, I may be fiscally solvent for the debut of my print release in February!  Yeah! This means a contest and some prizes, but for now, I'll just stick to a simple one. If you've read this post and sign my guest book in the next two weeks, I'll put all the names into a hat and pull one for a Starbucks gift card for $15. Just curious to see how many people are reading me now. If you've already signed my guestbook and still want to play, email me at tarynATtarynblackthorne.com

ta for now
