I just finished writing Year of the Dog ! It had a massive plot hole that I had to fix which turned out to be more work than I expected. Here’s a snippet: “Hey, Auntie Nell.” He wrapped his arms around her, bussing her on the cheek and breathing in pikake flowers and shortbread cookies. And suddenly he was nine years old again, and her solid presence had made his chaotic world stable once more. “What are you doing here?” He usually took her to dinner on Wednesday nights, but today was Tuesday. The edges of her smile faltered a little before brightening right back up again. “What, I can’t visit my nephew?” She angled around him to enter his home. “Is this your new house? Looks lovely.” Which was a blatant lie, because the fixer-upper was barely livable, much less acceptable to a neat-freak like his aunt. She also left four matching pink and purple floral suitcases on the stoop behind her. Only then did Ashwin notice the cab driver standing slightly to the side of the walkway. “Can ...

Ronie Kendig altered this CARDED meme to include a Spiritual Wish list so we can know how to pray for each other, both spiritually and physically. Isn’t that a great idea?
THE RULES:
1. Each player starts with 5 gifts that they would want for Christmas.
2. People who are "CARDED" need to write their own Blog about their 5 things & post these rules.
3. At the end of your Blog, you need to choose 5 people to get "CARDED" and list their names.
4. Don't forget to leave them a COMMENT telling them they're "CARDED", and to read your Blog.
My Materialistic Gift/Wish List:
1. Another contract or two
2. The Robotech DVD collection. I loved this series when I was growing up!
3. A recumbent exercise bike. My old one has a weird seat that angles forward, and it’s causing havoc on my back.
4. A drip water system for my plants
5. An Alphasmart Neo
My Spiritual Gift/Wish List:
1. Discipline to eat smaller portions, stop snacking so much, and exercise every day.
2. Spend more time in prayer
3. Writing discipline and not getting distracted from my daily word count.
4. Trust in God to provide for us financially
5. Peace, patience, love, and wisdom for the Genesis contest.
The people I have carded (in alphabetical order):
1. Ausjenny
2. Christina Berry (I hope her surgery went well!)
3. Mary Connealy
4. Pamela James
5. Cheryl Wyatt

I responded to your carding. You know where I am. :)
Hugs,
Pammer
thanks.
And after posting that I also realized that I guess its pretty obvious that "carded" and "tagged" are synonyms. Can I blame it on being out past midnight Christmas shopping last night and then being up late tonite doing laundry so my kids have the required clean clothes for tomorrow's (actually, by now TODAY'S) church Christmas prgm?
However I spread it, I'm just a scatterbrain at times and lack of sleep doesn't make that noggin work any better. Sigh...
Off to turn off the dryer and get in bed!
Merry Christmas, Camy! And I hope you get all those wishes this year. :)
:-)
now to work out how to make it pretty and add things.
Anyway, I already received the book you sent me. Thanks. I know it will be few years from now that I can really relate to it, but I'm glad that I have a guide on how to deal with a teenager.
At this very moment my mother is reading the book and she might have gotten a thing or two there - the funny thing is, everyone of us (her children) is past that "teen" years already.
Have a blessed New year, Camy!
