Into each life some cheese must be cut. My ...Sioux,<br />Into each life some cheese must be cut. My guests are a class act. In a class by themselves. Hmm...maybe there's a reason for that isolation.<br /><br />Your invitation must have fallen through a tiny archway along the baseboard at the dead-mouse-smelling post office. By now, it is shredded and harboring tiny pink hairless rodents. So there shall be no penciling. Don't think I'm not onto your tricks, Madam. Pencil is erasable. If you had mentioned carving it hieroglyphically into stone, I might have fallen for your Carrie-esque set-up. I shall not have a bucket of pig blood fall upon my dirtypillows at the book-signing you trick me into attending.<br /><br />*******<br />Stephen,<br />Well, the whole handing-out-cigars thing has been done. And I stopped short of mailing out just-born announcements. Thank you for the congrats, and revel in your ignorance. It IS my first. And second. I'm currently readying a spot over the mantel for my Pulitzer and Nobel.<br /><br />*******<br />Linda,<br />I'm pretty sure those vice grips used for my intended purpose are considered illegal, even here in Missouri. That home improvement story is not my favorite.<br /><br />Ahh...my cheese cutting darling, spirited away from under your salt-spray-sniffing nose. I scream, you scream, we all scream for cutting cheese. Yet my other keyboard offspring are shoved from a moving vehicle onto the cold wet road shoulder, to huddle together under a salvaged black bumpershoot with one exposed rib waiting to put out the window to someone's soul.<br /><br />Yes, with writing like that last sentence, it's hard to believe I am not in high demand.<br /><br />******<br />Birdie,<br />Thank you. You win the Most Creative Congrats award. It looks like an old-fashioned baby bracelet. Those old-fashioned babies must have been too smart to choke on beads.<br /><br />******<br />knancy,<br />My mother has put in an order for three of each. Not for herself, mind you. For gifts. I'm not exactly Hall Monitor material, but she is still proud of me.Valhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13025832536749983018noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-937038870722238271.post-61515184052856330142013-09-05T23:32:42.565-05:002013-09-05T23:32:42.565-05:00What does your Mother think about your publication...What does your Mother think about your publications?<br />knancyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01676773933097423968noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-937038870722238271.post-63710250630080580942013-09-05T23:32:27.450-05:002013-09-05T23:32:27.450-05:00Congrats on your house guests!

Laughed out loud at that home improvement story.

No wonder you're now a published author.

Hopefully neither of THEM are cutting the cheese right now...<br /><br />(By the way, my invitation to your book signing must have gotten lost in the mail. Please let me know the date so I can pencil it in on my calendar.)Sioux Roslawskihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17924021828536277618noreply@blogger.com
