Monday Madness
Carly Icon

OK I am exhausted from inputting blogs for Wednesday, Thursday, Friday and Sunday of last week and here it is time for me to input Monday’s! Forgive me if I take it easy. But only for a little while as you’ll see at the end of this blog …

HAPPY BIRTHDAY BABY GIRL!!!!!
Tomorrow March 11, 2008 Bailey is 1 year old!

GET WELL SOON BUDDY BOY!!!!!!
The superman cape covers his three incisions.

And aren’t we just cute?

********
SVEN – embarrassing admission

On Saturday, Janelle mentioned Sweating with Sven. Admittedly I’m behind already. I need a swift kick or lashing and :whipbanana: I received one! Over the weekend I found a fantastic blog by Barbara Vey of Publisher’s Weekly (you see, procrastinating does have its perks :hide: Anyway, on Mondays her blog is about “this that and the other thing”. In other words, news, notes and kudos in the industry and around the writing world. Basically now not just you guys (who I trust dearly) but the WORLD at large knows about me and Sven :dominatrix:

Oh the shame! :drama:

I must beg his forgiveness and try even harder.
And I hope you all will hold me (and all of us plotmonkeys) to it!

Carly

CarlyCarly Phillips would like to take 100% credit for all her stories but the truth is, Carly’s strength is writing family, emotion, funky elderly people and animals. She couldn’t plot her way out of a paper bag, which is why she smartly found her plotmonkey pals early on in her writing career. Thanks to their support, Carly is now a NYT Bestselling author of 23 plus novels. Because writing doesn’t keep her busy enough, Carly is also a wife, a mother of one preteen and one teenage daughter, the primary care giver of her soft coated Wheaten terrier and an expert carpool mom.

    And I hope Sven really makes you sweat!!

    Good morning Plotmonkeys and Jungle Babes,

    First, :happybd: to Bailey! Buddy looks really good after his surgery. And that Superman cape is too cute. Those two are just too darling.

    I’m so glad I’m not the only slacker reporting poor performance to Sven. I need a major drop kick plus thirty lashings. :fryingpan:
    My only excuse is my lousy energy level after being sick. But I’m working on it.

    Julie, how are you feeling?

    Have a great day all,

    Cher

    Carly you can do it. If we can do it, you can too. Sven is hard on you, but the view is wonderful.

    :party: Happy Birthday. Buddy.

    Get Well soon. Bailey.

    :happybd: Bailey! Glad that Buddy is doing so much better. Love the superman cape.

    Sven might be tough, but I know you will totally beat Sven in the end! :whipbanana:

    I think there is a full moon, Carly…at my middle boy’s bus stop, there are eight kids (including my son), some are intermittent, but the majority are always there…my son was the ONLY one this morning. Even the bus driver commented and questioned if he was there early. Middle boy’s kindergarten had THREE sick out of 18 or 20…that’s a huge number! :onfire: :onfire:

    Happy birthday sweet pup! And big get-well hugs to Buddy!

    And Carly, I’m right there with you. I had a great early run, then kinda fell off the last several days. But I am diving right back in…uh…soon! Curse that Stephen King. Got his new book and made the mistake of starting it. Which means, I won’t be leaving this chair until I finish it.

    Happy birthday, Bailey!

    Unfortunately I did NOT get my wordage in this past week at all for Sven. Were he real, he’d be kicking my butt for it! Work got crazy, then the monsoon-like storm hit on Saturday and baby made me tired. *whine*

    Seriously though, I have no excuses and I’m going to do better this week!

    And yes, Paula R., Adrian Paul is SOOO the Highlander! He’s in some show now as an Italian, but man, his Scottish accent… *faint*
