Author’s day at Birmingham Public Library . . . December 5, 2009

Super day today.  Exciting.  John1 (John Solomon Sandridge) was one of the author’s in the Birmingham Library Author’s Day.  There were lots of authors displaying and selling their books.  We were there with his book   Red Book and Cotton.  We also brought two of his paintings and displayed them.

A do it all day . . . October 7, 2009

My surroundings isn’t the only thing fall is having an effect upon. Without thinking today it was the warm and soothing Ginger Aid tea with a bag of Lemon Zinger. Oh, and no ice please. I want it all steamy from my favorite mug: with it’s picture of a creamy orangy-yellow pumpkin with a cool green curly stem on a black back ground with stars splashed around. It’s 2 am and it’s me, my hot tea, my fuzzy pink slippers, the dark of night, gentle rain, the soft rumblings of far off thunder, crickets, and you Perfect . . .

Today was a do it all day: Got up, downed a glass of water and headed straight to the computer, to work, there was also an on and off meeting smattered throughout that spanned from morning till afternoon with John1: during his work, discussing how he sees the book video for Red Book and Cotton really needs to largely change from the way we were going, and he has put so much editing time into, and I agree, soooo let’s think it through, let’s map it out, to grab one of my famous three minute showers that I perfected in highschool in the effort to grab every single second of sleep I could, then off to car pool, take Grace, Caleb, and Daniel for their yearly check-ups at the doctors, with a stop off at Dairy Queen because they have 1/2 off 2pm-4pm on drinks and their shakes seemed to be calling out our names, one large vanilla for Cal and Grace, one large chocolate for Dan and me please, 4 o’clock: time for the appointment, paperwork, medical cards, waiting, off to our room, Caleb is in the 75 percentile for growth for is age, Dan 95%, Grace 98%, (their dad is 6′ but that is tall for his family, it’s my my side where the is height, towering height, I on the other hand was not granted the 5′ 10″ish of the females, and no where near the 6′ 2-3″ of the males, however it’s nothing that heels hasn’t fixed ), off to Best Buy then Target seeking the perfect video camera in the perfect price for Dan to use the rest of that B-day money on, however no decisions, have to think about it some more thanks to the IPod crazed sales guy got that got Dan all hyped up on choosing the new Nano Ipod with video capacities instead, which both myself, his father, and Grace are trying to discourage because by all reports these new wonders aren’t going to make him hap, hap, happy in the video area starting with the die before they film much of anything at all . . . issue, ugh. Home to eat, to homework, to home, to my work . . . to adding to areas like Amazon for authors and to the John Solomon Sandridge FB fan page and messing something up while there, which wasn’t major but it was a goof up that I thought would do something totally different, who knew fan pages didn’t keep their info within their boarders??? It posts to members walls and made no sense to the outside reader, oh well it will disappear, mark it off to something else learned, to Facebook breaking for about a half hour to chat with a couple friends, one I haven’t talked with in some time . To writing a bio for John1 that more appropriately suits a particular area I am adding him to, to here, rubbing my eyes amazed at all that’s involved in social marketing but confident in my looping through it. Little by little all this is getting Red Book and Cotton “out there” in the web more, and that’s the goal.

Love ya,
Theresa, whose’s eying a digital camera for herself, I don’t have one but want one, that way I can post pictures like of my cool Halloween mug and my kids and other neat things that surround all I blog about!

A little of everything . . . October 6, 2009

Today, has been one of those days. Little of this, little of that. Here a little, there a little, and I think I’ll pittle over there just a little.

Sent my first tweet today and I’m going to be right out there honest about this whole thing by saying, I really don’t get it. But I’m going to very soon. I know it’s not complicated, so I have no fear of this all coming clear quickly. It’s just that I don’t really understand who on earth is going to hear me as I sit in my tree and tweet away. Now I do know I can followers but haven’t gotten far enough to know how to tell you how to follow me. Work stepped in my way of making that full connect. BLAH. Sooooo, tomorrow for that. Or today really since it’s 2:30 am.

As I mentioned yesterday I was going to make a decision on what to set up in Facebook for John1′s book: Red Book and Cotton and I did, so drum roll please . . . Went with a page! So surf on over to FB and search for his Page by key searching John Solomon Sandridge and like magic it’ll pop up. And don’t forget to become a fan! Haven’t got much in there yet, but there will be soon. I’m hoping to see the discussion board light up with people gabby about the book. Be the first to enter a post!

Night all, Love ya,
Theresa
