*Please note: this is an old blog post from 2010, copied over from the KidLitArtists blog.Some of the links may be broken because things have moved around since then.UPDATE: My thank you letter to the SCBWI. It all began with a rejection. Originally, I wanted to participate in the manuscript . . .
Since my mother died and especially since my brother and his wife died, Christmas has never been the greatest time of the year for me.

This post is about one of my closest friends, Luisa, who also recently made an appearance in My Life In A Nutshell.. I suspect she’ll want to contradict a bunch of this (e.g. “I am NOT a good cook!”) but she can go ahead because it’s MY list, so there. 🙂 . . .
Arg, I’m having major problems picking up my email today. Hope itclears up soon. Andrea Dale’s coming to visit today! I’ll try toget her to be a Guest Blatherer, of course. [ 3:34 PM ] GUEST BLATHERER: Take it away, Andrea… heh, heh heh, what can I stickon here while . . .
[Edited November 24, 2021: I’m moving over some my old Blatherings and realize that during one of the many platform moves I’ve made over the years, the original dates got mislaid. Hence the mishmash below of various short posts I made during 1997 ] Post title: “Andrea & Rand” Working . . .
1997-04-14 14:40:16 – FKO FilKONtario was hugely fun! More details in Allison’s upcoming con report (you ARE doing a report, aren’t you, Allison? 🙂 ). Gotta go out today, but more later. Site of the day: Steve Simmons’ home page. 1997-04-15 14:41:09 – Joke Allison’s confirmed she’s doing a FKO . . .
Made chicken cacciatore (sp?) for Paul & Jodi last night. 🙂 Allison couldn’t make it :-(…she must know about my cooking. Beckett’s painting looks great!!! I’m putting it up in my office. Spending today with Paul; Rand’s showing up this afternoon. Can’t wait to see the new Ookla CDs. 🙂 . . .
