Not me. The marriage. Let’s back up a bit, shall we? May 17, 2014. My ex-husband has had two serious girlfriends since we separated. The first relationship lasted about a year; I never met her, but the children did (I kvetched about it here. I toyed with the idea of writing a whole post about her. It’s not a relationship you hear much good about, is it? The ex-husband’s new squeeze? 8221; my younger son blurted, after his big brother spilled the beans. “No, it’s okay, we can,” my ol...8221; I smiled game...

Wednesday, 30 April 2014. Things that made me smile today. 1 A man playing the piano in the shopping centre. 2 Having coffee and a giggle with a friend I haven't seen for a while. 3 Starting a new book. 4 Getting to the end of a particularly hard spinning class. 5 Being Twitter followed by a real, live author, Rosie Blake (I have no idea why but I love her book so am well chuffed! 6 Afternoon Spring sunshine. 7 Seeing lots of people at the library this morning. 8 Dancing with Lady M. Things to smile about.

Raising Ruckus: November 2012
http://raisingaruckusnow.blogspot.com/2012_11_01_archive.html
Thursday, November 15, 2012. Things have been fairly ho-hum around the old homestead of late, or so it seems. What is mundane to me might be very exciting to you so I will share with you what I have. Ruckus is 13 months old now, and will be 14 months in just eight more days. Time sure flies! Ruckus weighs 26 lbs now. I haven't measured his height lately but he is tall. He is still in 18 month sizes which is a relief because replacing his wardrobe every five minutes gets expensive. Links to this post.

Love Natalie.......: February 2014
http://lovenatalieuk.blogspot.com/2014_02_01_archive.html
For all things homemade - knitting, sewing, cakes and cookies. And lots inbetween! Sunday, 23 February 2014. I finished my blocks! That doesn't give me that long to get all the sashing done, the quilting and the binding. I'm sure she won't mind if I run a little over time, but I will endeavour to get it finished before her big day. The last 2 blocks I made were another wonky star and a log cabin (this will be my block as part of the Little Blog Quilt Bee in August so I wanted a practice). I did take some...

Gabrielle Aquilina: It's waaaaay too cold to write a query letter
http://gabrielleaquilina.blogspot.com/2012/02/its-waaaaay-too-cold-to-write-query.html
Friday, 3 February 2012. It's waaaaay too cold to write a query letter. I don't think my brain really functions properly in cold weather. My fingers certainly don't and I can't afford to have the heating on during the day (don't worry, Lady M is dressed up like an Alaskan tree surgeon in the dead of winter). Still, I have struggled on towards my goal of SUBMISSION. I had a list (of course) of submission to-dos:. Write a 25 word hook. Write a query letter pitch paragraph. Write a one page synopsis. 160;So...

Gabrielle Aquilina: Farewell England, G'day Perth!
http://gabrielleaquilina.blogspot.com/2012/06/farewell-england-gday-perth.html
Sunday, 10 June 2012. Farewell England, G'day Perth! We arrived in Perth to be picked up by Steve from Wangara Car hire - highly recommended, he is very friendly and accommodating and the car hire is very reasonable - and taken to our first temporary Perth home. Boiled eggs and soldiers and a shower later and we were all in bed and asleep by 8.30pm. Sadly, the weather has not been great - much rain and actually quite cold but, you know, it is the start of winter here! A few things about Australia:. Austr...

Gabrielle Aquilina: Oh, how I love this song
http://gabrielleaquilina.blogspot.com/2014/03/oh-how-i-love-this-song.html
Monday, 17 March 2014. Oh, how I love this song. I really am loving this song at the moment so I wanted to share it with you. Haven't we all been here - resisting an ex that we KNOW is bad news but are drawn to nevertheless? Also Nashville is frickin' awesome. You should all be watching it. Thursdays, Channel 4, 10pm. I sort of love country music now but don't hold that against Nashville. That's all on me. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Pearl Jam. No more words needed. Writing Process Blog Tour!

Gabrielle Aquilina: I'm back and querying again!
http://gabrielleaquilina.blogspot.com/2014/02/im-back-and-querying-again.html
Wednesday, 26 February 2014. I'm back and querying again! So, the last few months have been a bit rubbish for me BUT I have had a partial request from an agent which is a real confidence boost and makes me believe I can do it. Even if she ultimately rejects my ms, at least she has confirmed that my writing isn't completely horrible. Anna know how I got this much appreciated request? Ah, the power of social media. If you aren't on it, you need to be. There's always someone tweeting an interesting. Boy, it...

Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of a Little Peace and Quiet. 8221;). They had lay-a-way! And so, we moved up in the world. And The Bargain Center closed. What child is this? I need to find a Bargain Center and drag her there every weekend until the damage is repaired. And he just let me be. He just let me be there with him, dipping chocolates, making lollipops, trying to let the process put my brain on cruise control for a while. I’ll miss you always. Bye, honey. I heard an old fisherman singing a song.
