I’m still working through some technical issues (read user error here) I have overcome my problems with my recorder – but am now having issues creating the chapter one pdf for MOTHERHOOD IS MURDER to post for you all.  Don’t worry I will perserve and if I can’t do it I’m sure I know someone who most certainly can and I think I can bribe them with some halloween candy.  (Read 6 year-old tech wiz here)

On Sunday, I spoke at a book group. They choose Bundle of Trouble for their read and invited me to meet with them. They’ve been meeting for 10 years and were a fantastic group of women. We got some video and photos too – but alas, I’ll have to update that later too. (Believe me, this is not some lame ploy to get you to come back – it is purely user ineptness)

Today Bundle of Trouble got several more great reviews and there are giveaways too – so if you would like to enter to win a copy of Bundle of Trouble – follow either or both links below!

Below are my top 5 favorite things:

1. Free Parking!  Becuase I was hosted by the Creative Arts department we got a parking pass – who doesn’t love that?

2. My reading went well (sigh of relief) and Carmen my 5 yr old got to sit beside me during it!

3. Hot dogs on a stick (always a crowd pleaser).

4. Bobby was happy in the stroller for the majority of the time.

5. Carmen and Tommy got to ride the train together!

Below are a few pictures for you to enjoy.

Sprout San Francisco

 The beautiful store Sprout.  They were such gracious hosts for us, they have a beutiful garden area and a nice playarea. If you haven’t yet been to the store - you’re in for a treat!

Tommy Jr.

One of my favorite little guys enjoying the play area. Actually, he never left the train station!

Tom Sr. and Bobby

Another picture of some of my favorite guys, my darling husband and our 6 month old! In fact, the only one missing in these photos is Carmen. She was whipping around the store greeting everyone and being a perfect little hostess, maybe someone took a picture of her and can send it my way.  Next time, I’ll be sure to snap one of the family together!

I’m celebrating by doing a couple guest blogs – you’ll find me discussing Time Management (or lack thereof) on The Working Stiffs and in conversation with another “Berkley Babe” Jennie Bentley author of the Do-It-Yourself Mystery Series over at The Thrill Begins.

Hope you enjoy the book – I’d love to hear from you.

It’s strangely quite in my house today – gives me the calm before the storm feeling.  Tomorrow is the book release and I have a radio interview and then Wednesday I’m having a book launch party at Sprout in San Francisco.

So, I’m just taking time right now to appreciate the quiet. The baby is still asleep (even though we had a fitful and interrrupted night) and my two-year-old has found something to distract himself in the other room…hmmm maybe it is too quiet. 

Must go check – hopefully my five-year-old is keeping him entertained with something safe…
