Pearl is awesome, isn't she? I'll also be reviewing my personal favorite by her, "Peony."

Should You Join a Writer's Group? - Blog Entry

14 Feb 2007 06:53 PM

Kori, you can still get feedback even without belonging to an actual group. I've published two books and would have perished without the feedback from other authors I trust. They always find things that I miss. So yes, you can succeed without attending an actual group, but it is so valuable to have someone else read for you. It's impossible to catch all your own mistakes.

A Homeschooler and Their Money will Not Be Parted? - Blog Entry

One thing I do that saves me scads of money -- I use those plastic sheets that you use to put scrapbook pages in and we lay those over our workbook pages. The kids write on them with a dry erase marker with a bullet tip. Then we move on to the next page. When they're done with the book, it's still fresh and clean for the next kid, and I'm not having to buy new books for each kid every year. In this way I'm only buying new books for the oldest child each year, and I spend about $50 a year that way. Oh, plus the cost of dry erase markers.

Sebaceous Cysts: What You Should Know - Blog Entry

That does sound painful, Aimee! And you're right, stitches there would have been joyful. :)

As an update, I had the stitches taken out this morning and I'm good to go. The doctor said that it will take about a year for the scar to fade away, but that within three months it will turn to skin color as opposed to the pink it is now. But I can't see it, so it doesn't matter to me what color it is.

Um, that would be "looked" like. Typing a little too fast.

I love weird trivia -- Moira Kelly, who did the voice for Nala, was also the star of "The Cutting Edge."

The Dairy Debate - Blog Entry

I read an interesting booklet by author Shirley Bahlmann about dairy. It's called "Holy Cow: The Udderly Amazing Power of Dairy in Your Diet." You can find it if you google it.

I have to watch my own dairy intake, and I really enjoy the Tofutti "ice cream" sandwiches. They're really yummy. Now I want some!!
