I begin to scale the mountain again......

Only 6 more days I have to decide if I'm really going to start my new website Secrets of the Butcher's wife. As you can tell I've already got the name and some good info but I don't look forward to the getting started part again. I've got one year of SBI hosting and it's gotta pay for itself before that year is up. I still have to buy the blog program so I can transfer all my archives from the old blogging site- well over a years worth of posts. Wish me luck and I hope this is the way I can truly dedicate enough of my time to get my Secret's of the Butcher's Wife book together and ready for publication.

just pray that I'll I'll be able to manage my time well and make this all work!

Jimmy Fincher Saga

Well Marta I admit it. I'm really enjoying the Jimmy Fincher Saga. I'm already on book 3 The Tower of Air and thought I'd better do a little reporting. Stephen King look out! This series will be a really cool movie one of these days! It's so hard to find good books for boys to read and now lo and behold, there's a whole series of them. I'm hoping the 11 yr old will get hooked on these instead of Hank the Cow Dog. Mr. Dashner has a very pleasing writing style that can be enjoyed by ages 9 on up to adult so basically any literate that are young of heart. I"m very much looking forward to reading the complete works of James Dashner if I can just keep the kids away from them until I've completed my new quest!

My friend sent me this video link- Frugality in the news:

It's the Economeese( excuse the spelling) family. They're supposed to be the cheapest family in America. They even called their book America's Cheapest Family. I've already sent her a review copy of John's book but if they're big they might not have time to even open their mail. I wish them well and hope they continue to carry the torch dropped by Amy Dacyczn when she canned her newsletter. I mainly used it for mental support as I'm already totally cheap. I do want to buy a copy of Richard Paul Evans The Five Lessons I learned from a Millionaire. I wish my family would catch on that the little pennies do add up eventually and we need to stay more on budget. Guess I better go run errand.
