The party planning is nearly done...the invitations are all out, the books ordered, the menu completed....it's all good. I think the best part was that some of my oldest friends called to say they got the invite and that they are proud of me. Even at (eep) 48 years old, their support of what I do is still so important.
Two of them were women I played ball against when I was younger...One, I have known for 33 years, the  other, 30 years. That may seem like a long time to some, but my OLDEST friend I've known for 43 of my 48 years. I am proud of that fact...especially since we had nothing in common when we were kids...she was a theater geek, I was a jock. SHe spoke Hebrew, I spoke German. She was a Jew, I was a Gentile. She got married, I never did. I have kids, she never did. And yet...43 years is longer than most marriages! Anyway, it was really nice hearing from everyone who called just to say, "Rock on, sister!"

I was interviewed by a student for the college's paper, and that was really fun. We chatted and laughed, and it was the best interview I've had in a long time. There's so much to do when you're trying to get a book out there...but I think after the book launch, and after my Virtual Book Tour, I should see some numbers in my sales.

I am busy, busy and loving every minute of it! Life is just getting better and better!

I hope everyone out there finds the time to write and to dream this weekend!
