I almost forgot to tell you! I’ll be in Southern California next weekend for a conference and there’s going to be a booksigning on Sunday, which is open to the public. If you’re anywhere near LA, I would LOVE LOVE LOVE to see you!
When: Sunday, 3/17, 1:00-2:30pm
Where:
DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel Santa Ana, 201 East MacArthur Blvd., Santa Ana, CA,
For more details, click HERE.
Hope to see you there!
For all the rest of you, I hope to meet you in person some day too. 
What are your plans this weekend? I plan to spend time with Youngest and Middle, studying for mid-terms and eating Girl Scout cookies.

Had our 3 year old grandson for 2 days so I’ll be resting and recuperating. Have a bad knee, now with fluid, so I can’t help shovel the additional 4+ inches of snow we got last night , so I’ll be reading! Will finish Immortal in Death, Damned Few (excellent Navy SEAL book), and begin Three Sisters and Whispering Rock.

Not so fun. My stepdaughter’s mom passed away at age 59. We are going up to Kansas for the memorial and funeral. Our 5th trip in 3 months since we’ve also been getting mom in law settled into a nursing home from her senior apartment. Very sad tho…so young…

I hope you come to the Charleston area sometime! It’s a great place to visit.
Posted on March 8th, 2013 at 6:29 amWhile the hubby is painting and doing some improvements to my bathroom, I’m going out unsupervised for a couple hours! lol I can wander Barnes and Noble, Target, Pier 1, try on shoes, and look at purses at my own leisure. It’s been ages since I’ve done that so I’m very excited. Nope, it doesn’t take much,lol.

Supposed to rain all weekend but it’s the same thing: church, dinner at parents’ house, groceries, weighing in @ WW(ick!) and avoiding the Girl Scout cookies as much as possible.

It is always a pleasure to meet Jill. This weekend? Work tomorrow, packing for the move on Sunday … or maybe not. lol I may just do absolutely nothing on Sunday – it’s been a long week.

Next time RWA is in NYC I’m so there! I hope you and all my faves are there too
This weekend, we are helping my sis move back to the neighborhood and after that doing a lot of nothing. I plan to read and catch up on TV.

Ya’ll have a restful weekend.

Wish I was close to LA! I’d come!
Our high school boy’s basketball team is in state playoffs. My daughter’s cheer for the team, so we will be at a basketball game on Saturday. Then oldest daughter will be going back to college on Sunday since her spring break will be over.
Have a great weekend!

My son comes home tomorrow. Yay!!!!!!! I’m going to spend the weekend cooking all his favorites. The house is too quiet with the kids all gone. Never thought I’d ever say that.

Hope to meet you one day too! You should come do a book signing in San Antonio.
As for my weekend plans, i am playing house warden to the grounded 13 year old. Boo! But at least I am at the movies right now waiting for Oz, the Great and Powerful to start. So my weekend is not totally ruined.

I really, really wish I could be there!!! I think if I left in the car right now I could maybe make it for Sunday, lol!!!
Posted on March 8th, 2013 at 10:36 amNot too much on the go here…soccer wrap up for my son this weekend, otherwise we’ll play it by ear!

Wish I could come see you although I don’t mind missing southern California!!!
I did meet you several years ago. It is a fond memory but I do hope to see you again someday. I keep thinking I will take a trip up your way because I’d love to explore the country up there! Have fun, share the experience with us that aren’t there!

No big plans for the weekend. Husband will be home so I am sure all I will hear is what do you have to eat. Its amazing how they can’t seem to do anything for their self.
Posted on March 8th, 2013 at 3:32 pmLiza says:
I’m getting my hair colored and cut this weekend. Can’t wait as it has been way too long! Other than reading, no other big plans.

I’m tired of the snow wanting spring to come NOW!!! Hubby & I will run errands & maybe hit the car show as we contemplate buying another car. I also have a bunch of IB internal assessments to grade. Looks like I need to find some time to read!!!! Maybe some baking too!!
Posted on March 8th, 2013 at 4:58 pmLisa in California says:
You should say it is in Orange County, not LA. Santa Ana is a 30 minute drive from Los Angeles without traffic. I’m hoping to see you there!!
Posted on March 8th, 2013 at 5:25 pmMarcy says:
I’ll be bundled up inside reading. It’s way to cold for me!
Posted on March 8th, 2013 at 5:43 pmMona K says:
I’m sitting on the couch reading…it’s so nice and quiet..hubby is sleeping. He works nights so he’s sleeping right now….I made some cookies which I may bring to a friend before I eat them all. I’m going to read Lucky In Love….just got it after ordering from Barnes.
I too wish I could meet you. I have family that live in Los Angeles I wonder how far he lives from there. Maybe I could ask him to do me a little favor…at least have a book signed by you..but I will definitely plan on visiting him some day. He is a very talented artist.

I am so bummed! You’re going to be in our neck of the woods but we’re going to be down in the San Diego area for an ultra race (hubby is doing the 100 miler, man child is aiming for his first marathon, and I’m hoping to get in a half marathon). Since it’s an ultra, it starts Saturday morning and goes through Sunday afternoon. Otherwise, I’d be there with bells on. So completely bummed.

The process of car shopping can be lengthy. You have so many
options, not to mention things to consider as you compare each one.
You will be able to make the right decision if you know enough about car shopping.
Here are some great tips on buying a car.
