Advice from Karen

Alright, enough with the big words... nobody likes tests:) And like Chris always told me, "Never use a large word where a diminutive one will suffice". That's all I have to say on that matter...

On to the next... matter that is...

matter... that's a funny word if you say it too much.

Mother's day is coming up... so HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY MOM and to all the other moms that I know!!!! Wow, moms are great! And I am now a priveledged member of that group. It's like getting a promotion at work. People think I have some authority even if I am not their mother. And people (my kids) do what I tell them. And I get a whole other day of presents! Oh wait.. that's not like work... but it should be!

Who was it who said that editing your work while you are writing is just a form of stalling? Karen?? I think Karen will remember... it was either John Steinbeck or William Faulkner. This popped into my head because Karen has 'Winter of Our Discontent' by John Steinbeck in her book list. Which is just about the best book ever written, FYI. If you haven't read it.. go do it... now. See, you have to listen to me, cause I am a mom!! (note the clever link to the last paragraph... now there's good writing!!)

If you haven't guessed, my mind is off this evening. Or I can't think of something clever to say and I am just rambling on until the wittiness comes out. Or maybe I should give up and try again tomorrow? All for, say 'Aye'.

Spell check it!
