Can you believe I actually get paid to promote a cultural institution like the Southern Festival of Books? This is my job: tell folks about how great this festival is and encourage them to write about it.

Not sure how I got so lucky. I really have to pinch myself when I get to do cool stuff like this. It is like when I first heard I was going to be on the team that would do our best to keep the Predators in Nashville… really no words for how freakin cool that opportunity is.

I grew up with this book festival and am excited to be doing my part to help it succeed. If you aren’t familiar with the Southern Festival of Books, I’m sad for you.  Go here and read about it. Then, go here and book your flight to Nashville.

See you on October 12!

Yes, it’s been a while since I have blogged. And all my millions of loyal readers have asked why I don’t do it anymore. My first inclination is to say, “I write all day at work; therefore, writing is the last thing I want to do when I get home. Geez-o.”

But that isn’t true.

I think the truth is that I stopped blogging because the creative side of me is so fulfilled at work that I no longer remember to/have a need to engage it when I get home. Plus, I’d rather talk to my hubby.

But I do miss it. It is fun to read back through these posts and see what I was excited or pissed about at the time.

Besides, it has been awhile since you folks have seen the web cam of our condo or were forced to hear about the latest great book I am reading … or were made to read about how important I think thank you notes are. They are very important and give you a great excuse to buy cute stuff.

Never fear! You’ll endure no more sleepless nights wondering what I am up to because I am going to get back on a regular blogging schedule.

And there was much rejoicing.

More to come …
