Hey girlfriend. I didn’t realize you were in school. You do keep busy.Have a wonderful Memorial Day.
I have a new story serialized story at The Magic Mirror http://www.PinkFuzzySlipperWriters.blogspot.com.
I hope to mail the entry tomorrow or Wednesday overnight 🙂
Hey Mary,
Yep, I can’t seem to slow down even when I want to. I’ll hop on over to your blog and check this out.
Welcome, Angela. I hope you get it sent off. I’m just finishing up with moving and cleaning and painting. Now I have to get in gear and get mine in as well…
Good luck.
Tami
Hey Tami,
I sent it off to you, overnight, and the PO guy said you should have it tomorrow by 3pm – would you mind terribly confirming when it arrives? I just have this fear that I wrote the wrong address or that I forgot something…it’s so annoying!
Angela
btw- congrats on the move! 😀
Hey Angela,
Thanks for the congrats. We closed on the sale of the house yesterday and put an offer in on a new one today. So, if they accept it, we will be moving again in the next couple of months… Uugghh!!!
Also, yes, I did get your entry.
Sorry for the delay on responding to you guys. It was going to cost $250 to move our internet and we didn’t want to pay that much if we were only going to be their a short time. So I am checking it when I get a chance.
If I don’t respond right away, I am terribly sorry. But I am not intentionally ignoring you all.
Have a great weekend…
Tami
