With a Capital T...
From Lani, with the pasty white techie skin...
First, a thousand pardons for the commenting thing. I'm working on it. I really, really, really am. Right now, you can comment, but it'll have to come to me for approval until I get it working. And even then, you'll show up as "Anonymous" despite having signed in with Typekey. Again, this is why I warn all of you to NEVER LEARN MORE ABOUT COMPUTERS THAN HOW TO TURN THEM ON AND HOW TO SCREAM FOR HELP.
When it comes to computers, it turns out, ignorance? Actually is bliss. Who knew?
In other news...
... Maybe Baby officially released yesterday! And again, with the anticlimax, as people have been picking it up at Walmart since last week.
But I don't care. I have a book, it's out there. The reviews are good. My youngest child - Light, the three year old, the one who gets up every morning at 5:30 - is still sleeping at 8:14. My oldest child, Sweetness, the 6-year-old, is parked in front of the television. I'm Thankful. With a capital T.
And also... fighting the Mommy guilt. See, if they wake me up and crawl all over me all morning, I'm cranky because... well, obviously. If they don't, if they leave me alone, it's guilt-time. So basically, no matter what happens, I lose, but only because of my brain and the way it works.
Somehow, that's not comforting.
Anyway, I've got a book to write and children to actually care for (I know she's gonna wake up any second now that I've told you she's sleeping, it's like some weird anti-Mommy Mojo) and you all have your things to do, but I did want to tease you to say that we have another Guest Literary Chick coming in on Monday (and she SO ROCKS, you guys are gonna LOVE HER) and, of course, that means ANOTHER giveaway (yahooooo!).
And while we're at it, how about a shout-out to Alesia, Michelle and me for choosing some of the coolest Guest LCs on the planet? I mean, didn't Stephanie Lehmann, Beth Kendrick and Marianne Mancusi rock? And we're lining 'em up into 2006, babies.
So go ahead. Comment away! And be sure to put your name in your comment because, you know, anonymous. Meanwhile it'll be me beating my head against this brick wall to make it work again.
But it will work. Oh, it will work, my pretties. Just you wait.

Just testing my own commenting in case it magically decided to correct itself overnight.
Which... it didn't.

Oh, hey. Check out how even the comments I've approved aren't showing up.
Yay. Wahoo. Gah.

testing something else to see if it works...
Posted by: Lani at June 1, 2005 9:30 AM

Now we're REALLY all set!

All right, I'll comment. Yay for you, again! I haven't made a spaz of myself at B&N again yet, but I promise I will the next time I get in there. I did check in Target after you posted the other day, but they're not as forward-thinking as Wally World, apparently. And I couldn't wait for it to come out in the store, so I bought it on Amazon and it should show up today or tomorrow. Can't wait to read it, and congratulations!!!

I totally agree with you learning about computers is a dangerous thing. Bravo for getting the commenting figured out.
Headed out to buy "Maybe Baby" now. Loved "Time Off..."!
