With Brodi being out of town, I have been asked to step up my game and come on over to her blog and post for her. I know it is a Thursday, but there is a new sherrif in town and I am making up my own rules (and when Brodi gets back, she will crush my new rules and it will go back to the regular MWF timespots...but for now, I am IN CHARGE).
Brodi is out of town. She just beat the big NYC storm and now She is New York City partying like its 1989. Actually, she says that she went to a writers conference, but I have my doubts. I asked her how her busy day of taking notes, studying the words of the speakers, etc. went...She avoided the question and told me that she went out with our niece for lunch and then spent the rest of the day exploring downtown NYC, Columbia, etc. As you can tell, she is working very hard on perfecting her trade at this 'writing conference.'
I too have been living it up - I have spent the past couple of days getting her car working (OK, a mechanic did it but I did watch him), fixing the plumbing (OK, a plumber did it, but I did watch him), doing homework with the kids, actually working at my own job, trying to keep the house from being condemned by the city and yet I still find time to hold dance parties all through the night, complete with strobe lights, karaoke machines and cage dancers (don't ask!). The kids have been well fed on poptarts, Rootbeer, waffles with extra syrup and ice cream. All 4 food groups...or is it 5 food groups? We are somehow holding it all together. We miss her.On a different note - If you have a chance, please go and visit Brodi's agent's agency's website (that was a mouthful) at: http://www.dystel.com/ Brodi's agent Michael wrote a fabulous blog post on why he signed Brodi and what went in to signing her. It is terrific. Not sure who loves Michael more, Brodi or me. Also, if you have a chance, come on over to our house. It is a ragin' party all day long. I even have a couple of cute little boys that you can take home to keep as parting gifts. Enjoy your Friday and weekend...I really have no plans - so feel free to let me know what you are doing so that I can imagine that I am you...so make it good! Toodles!
