A Blogger's Jackpot!

I hit the JaCKpoT when Paul contacted me about sampling a Wood Watch by Jord. Look at this beautiful watch on my wrist! It's totally brag worthy.




My watch is so cool, I could wear it to kickboxing class and my instructor wouldn't even notice my loose fist. I mean, who could notice anything other than the watch in this photo?


Tighten that fist!
I love the fine details and two tones of wood. It even matches my gorgeous dogs.





But I won't let them wear it because it's all mine!

This smooth watch has got to be one of the coolest watches I've ever owned. It's even cooler than my Woody Woodpecker watch that used to peck at the tree each second. This watch is made from the tree! Plus, the face is large enough that I can tell the time without my reading glasses.




But here is the best news of all. You can win your very own Jord watch in my giveaway! That's right. Up for grabs is a gift certificate of $139 (and free shipping) from Jord. You can't beat that, so don't forget to enter this great contest!

Stop by Jord and and tell me which watch you'd get if you won, and leave me a comment.




Click on the Rafflecopter at the top of the blog and gain points to enter my contest. Hurry, because it won't be up for long.

Dance All Night

I remember the fun I had back at MIZZOU when I participated in a 24 hour dance marathon to raise money for charity. Now, my daughter is at it, and I hope you'll support her. I also hope she doesn't get cranky and kick any of her friends out of the car on the way home, like I did. Sorry, Barry. 


Anyway, Erica is participating in the Knight-Thon, which is UCF's largest student run philanthropy project to support the Children's Miracle Network Hospitals in Orlando. Erica and I would be thrilled it you would donate to help the kids.

Since Erica is a senior and missed participating in this event for three years, her goal is to make up for the years missed by raising $400. To donate, all you do is click on the link. It's easy and keeps her beautiful smile going strong.

Weekend Writing Warriors 8/3


Weekend Writing Warriors / #8 Sunday
08/03/14






Richard Peck said that he likes to end a novel where he started. Although I didn't quite do that, this passage is close to the end of my YA manuscript. Ben finds himself back in class talking about the robber barons, just like the very first sentence of BEING BENITO CARLEFFA, which I posted last week. Although this is not eight lines, some of the sentences are short and quick, so I decided to include the entire scene. 

Although just about every hand in the room is up, except Ben's, the teacher calls on him and asks, "Who were the robber barons?"



$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$


     “Famous dead guys who ripped dudes off to get rich,” I said, but then blurted, “No. They aren’t all dead.”

     “Who are you talking about, Ben? Are we turning class into a political discussion?” Ms. Link smiled as if she were waiting for her compare and contrast moment. She’d always said, “History repeats itself” and now she was hoping I’d prove it true. 

     I shook my head, but she refused to move to another student. 

     “Can I use the bathroom?”

     “You may after you answer my question.”

     I stood and dragged my feet to the door. Before heading out, I grit my teeth and said, “My father.” 


$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

I Hate Delta Airlines

My daughter had a flight on Delta this Thanksgiving Holiday. She started by sitting on the runaway for an hour or more because of weather. I'm not sure what sort of weather threatened Orlando, Florida, but my guess would be a winter storm system blowing blizzard like conditions through the sunshine state.
Delta,Delta,Delta, Delta, Delta, Delta, Delta, Delta, Delta, Delta, Delta, Delta,
Delta,Delta,Delta, Delta, Delta, Delta, Delta, Delta, Delta, Delta, Delta, Delta,
By the time she arrived in Atlanta, her connections to Baltimore had finished loading and under penalty of law--NO PASSENGERS SHALT BE ALLOWED TO BOARD. Fear not, a flight to Knoxville prepared to take off, and we'd be passing through that city in thirty minutes. The nice man at the ticket counter plugged the changed flight arrangements into his computer and printed her a lovely paper that he signed. "Just take this to the Knoxville gate and board."
Delta,Delta,Delta, Delta, Delta, Delta, Delta, Delta, Delta, Delta, Delta, Delta,
 Lying snakes! After lugging her luggage (I guess that's why it's called luggage) through the delightful Atlanta airport, the nameless clerk–Judith Campbell– would not let my daughter onto the plane. She snarled at her as she said, "He's not authorized to change your flight." Mind you, she's not authorized to be a clerk! Instead of simply letting her on a plane,  Dumb Delta paid to put an eighteen year old in a hotel by herself, give her a voucher for breakfast, and make her get up at an unGodly hour to board an early flight--that also sat on the runway due to mechanical problems. Finally they allowed the plane to take off–NOT! Apparently the radio malfunctioned, so they stopped the take off to turn around and get it fixed.
Delta,Delta,Delta, Delta, Delta, Delta, Delta, Delta, Delta, Delta, Delta, Delta,
I spoke to the Delta folks and told them, she needs the price of her ticket refunded. The "nice" lady told me the only way to get the money back is to send her back to Orlando. She offered me a whopping $150 voucher. Wow! One-hundred, fifty whole dollars! Delta sucks! Unfortunately to use the voucher one has to get back on one of those *&;#% planes.
Delta,Delta,Delta, Delta, Delta, Delta, Delta, Delta, Delta, Delta, Delta, Delta,
 So tell me, what is your horror stories about Delta? I'm sure you have plenty since they mess up everybody's travel plans.
