Why is it that you’re never downloading Bach when iTunes Freezes?
I tried to download a song form iTunes yesterday. It hung up and I couldn’t get it to work. I had to ask my husband, Jon, for help. He is the IT guy for our little enterprise so it made sense to call him. My assistant and good friend, Carri, was in the office and she, too, is more technically proficient than I am. So, they put their techie heads together to help me get my iTunes back up and running. All good, right? Well, yes.
But what song was I trying to download when iTunes locked up? “Sexy Bitch”… Read More

Celebrating Sea Turtles, Mourning my iPhone, and Happy Fourth of July
What I learned from rescuing Freja the Sea Turtle:
iPhones do not like to be submerged in sea water; especially not for over an hour. Jon, my tech wizard, has declared my phone deceased. A moment to hang my head and mourn my phone. It was my mobile office as well as main phone number, but if saving Freja cost me my iPhone then so be it. Totally worth the price. Though I am wondering if ATT stores are open on Fourth of July?
That kneeling on sand and broken seashells at the surf line is shallow-ish water is hard… Read More

Sea Turtle Rescue the Short Version
By 8:00 AM this morning we’d rescued a sea turtle and I’d helped load it into the back of the ambulance for the Turtle Hospital. Yep, it is a hospital just for sea turtles. They are slow moving, and can be large animals, so they, like manatees take a lot of boat damage. They also get caught in fishing lines, swallow baited hooks, garbage, and basically struggle to share their oceans with us.
This morning I woke in the black dark so early that it was still night. I tried to convince myself to go back to sleep,… Read More

Working for Vacation
We are leaving this weekend on the big family vacation for the summer. On one hand; yay! On the other hand; Ah! My deadline gets closer every day, and every day I don’t make my page count is a day further behind schedule. But I did the math and realized that I would finish the book after Trinity went back to school. That I would spend another summer writing, working, and have no break. We sent Trinity on vacation with Jon’s parents last year, and for spring break they took her along with her Aunt Pili, but I worked.
I… Read More

Bullet t-shirt until the end of June
I thought I’d blogged about this ages ago, but I didn’t. My bad, sorry. We have a Bullet t-shirt that is only avaible until the end of June. When the last day of the month rolls around it’s gone. So only five days left if you want to order one. There is an original graphic and the quote from the front of the book. Here I am wearing the shirt and here’s a close up of the graphic and quote.
