A Funny Video and a List

Each Friday, the people at Author Culture have a funny thing on Fridays. (Click on the link to see today's.)

This is what I'd do if I was a famous writer.

I'd hide behind the bookshelves and eavesdrop on people looking around the bookstore or library.

Not sure what else other than that. Other than write some more.

Blessings and Blogs

I got this idea from another blog (here's the link: http://crazyfreefall.blogspot.com/ ) written by Ruth, another good friend.

I grumble a lot. Mostly in my head, though.

1. I have a pretty good family (probably like normal families).

2. Lots of friends!

3. I have a job. A 12 year old. How many 12 year olds have jobs? (Writer, btw.)

4. Even though the job isn't paying, I have parents who put up with me buying weird little writing gadgets with my allowance.

5. I'm homeschooled! And even though I'm homeschooled, I have amazing teachers and classmates at TPS.

6. I know more-or-less what I'm going to do when I grow up....But that'll change most likely.

7. I can dance (but it hurts right now because I'm currently disabled) and, more importantly, can walk and when I do get sick, it's all at once. Then comes a LONG time of being well (hopefully).

8. I have the most amazing brother in law on earth! (Yay for protons, atoms, and all those other chemicals that make people up!)

9. I have the cutest cat on earth. (And the crankiest rabbit ever made, too....)

10. LOADS of friends (mostly online).

11. I have a more or less decent writing capability.

12. I had a great-grandmother who lived through the depression, WWI, WWII, the wars after that, and through 8 years of this century.
