Happy Birthday to me!
Break out the black balloons, I'm 45 today! : )
At the ad agency where I work, we all get our birthday as an extra vacation day. Cool!
I just got back from the DMV -- it was time to renew my driver's license. Oh, the unspeakable joy. Actually, the people working at the DMV were wonderful -- every last one of them that I dealt with were amazingly cheerful. I guess when you work somewhere with clientele who get cranky standing in long lines, or pissed because they didn't bring the right paperwork, etc., you learn to go with the flow. I had to take the eye/road sign test. I aced them all until I got to those danged yellow signs with no writing on them. I'm expected to know from the shape of the signs what picture/words would be on them. I'm a writer -- I don't do pictures; I need words. There were three signs: the first one was kind of iffy for me, the second one I got right immeditately, and the third one I had no freaking clue. Fortunately the guy behind the desk had a clue, and he graciously gave me one. Signs identified, test passed. Yes! He had a fabulous sense of humor; I guess he's used to dealing with dim people like myself. ; )
Tonight Derek and I are going out to dinner at my favorite Italian restaurant, and then we're going to Lowes to spend the rest of my gift cards on more closet/office organizing stuff. Woot!
Today, I'm going to get out in the yard as soon as I finish posting this blog and plant some flowers (before it gets hot enough to fry eggs on the sidewalk). I need to go find my big hat. Then I have some writing business stuff to take care of, then it's either a nap or reading, or read then nap. I'm sure the dogs won't mind keeping me company while I snooze.
Coming up: Doing rewrites, do I have enough backstory for prequels?, and what I'm reading now.
The birthday girl,
Lisa

Happy birthday!
I have a question about the books-in MLTF it called the Sagrad really heavy- impossable to lift heavy Then i was re-reading A&M at lunch in the first chapter somewhere in said that armies with the Sagrad in front of them were indistuctable do you mean really in front of them or is it like that crazy elf. sorry for the typ-os and naming of the people in your book. I forget names easly.
Thank you, Tia!
Hi Kara, I actually had to look up the answer to your question in MLTF. LOL! After a while, it all sort of runs together. Anyhoo, on page 141, Chigaru is telling Raine about the Saghred. He says that "It was incredibly heavy, but only about the size of a man's fist." When I wrote that, I intended for the Saghred to be heavy like a orb make out of solid gold or even heavier, but not impossible to carry. And by armies carrying the Saghred in front of them, I was thinking of the Israelite army carrying the Ark of the Covenant in front of them. When they had it, they were never defeated. I am not comparing the Saghred to the Ark, just that it was used in a similar fashion.
