I HATE THE BOOK ~ and ~ BE KIND... SANDY

Below:  Action shot.  

Me:  "Doggie!"

Gracie:  "Where?"

She's so funny.  We get her every time.  Say "Doggie" and she's ready to rumble!

Guess what?  I got finished my galley edits for this round a week early, so now I just have to wait for the second edit. 

 This. Is. Work.

I HATE THIS BOOK!

*Sigh*  

Okay, now that I've said it I feel better.  

The truth is I don't really hate it.  But it seems pretty boring to me especially after going over it a dozen times.

Last night we had some Trick or Treat fun...

And now I'm remembering a month earlier when we enjoyed the beautiful beach wedding of my stepdaughter Stacy and her now hubby Vinny near Ocean City NJ... 

And then we toured the new casino in Atlantic City...  (below)

It's not looking good for this place right now and I am

 praying for 

Stacy and Vinny who live not real far inland...

And 

Gary's son Jason who lives in Hoboken, close to NY.

And 

For everyone in Sandy's path...  far and wide...  

Be Safe!!

Dear Diary,

Mom is all happy cause she found me a new groomer.  One closer to home.  It seems every groomer I ever get ends up 'retiring from grooming'.  Mom thinks I may have something to do with that but I respectfully disagree with her conclusion on that subject.  I've only ever made one groomer bleed and she said it was no big deal.  

So anyways...  the place is called Strut Your Mutt and the guys name is Kevin.  Hey...  believe it or not, I like the guy.  And Mom said it was one of the best cuts I've ever had. 

 But.  She keeps smelling me and cuddling with me and she is so very clingy!!!  I would like to know where Ms. CarrieAnne from Golden Pines found that neat stuff to roll around in.  It would help me with this Clingy-Mom thing I have going on here.  Gracie.

Cover to Cover

Hi folks!  I may be missing for a few weeks here...  

You see...

Yesterday I received my book back for review - to read and make any changes.  My first round of author galley's.  I have 14 days but I'd like to get it done sooner.  

And now.  

Since you are my friends and have stuck with me through all of my silliness and (sometimes) l-o-n-g mundane posts....  

I share with you the cover of my book:  

AND NOW....  OFF TO WORK!

I hope everyone is having a great week!

FALLING INTO FALL

Fallen leaves.  Blue skies.   

Not too warm but not too cool.

Vibrant colors. 

Giggles.

Hayrides.

Must be fall.

Dear Diary,

  I like fire hydrants.  I can't help it.  I also like light poles, tree trunks and dog poop.  I'm a dog for crying out loud!  Dogs like those things. I do not like to miss any of these smells.  So if it means a fire hydrant on the left, then a tree on the right, then some fresh dog pee on the left again...  then so be it.  I don't know what jay walking is, I just know it annoys the folks and makes  Mom The Nag blurt out her favorite quote, 'Gracie!  What is your problem?' She says I'm going to cause her or dad to fall over me. Whatever.  Gracie.
