The obscure ramblings of a writer mom not on the edge...usually.
Plans for today, re: My Mission Statement for this day.
Hope you have a great Sunday!
Often times when I’m reading I sort of feel like my characters could jump right out of the page. Here they sort of do…

The other night a friend on Facebook posed the question about editing multiple pictures at the same time. I shared this “trick” with her and was surprised to learn that not many people were aware that this could even be done.
It is surprisingly simple and saves a ton of time, especially when you have a ton of pictures to resize.
All you need to do is open your pictures in the Preview App
I’ll show you how I recently edited pictures at the same time to share movie stills from The Twilight Saga Breaking Dawn Part II.
How To Edit Multiple Pictures At the Same Time On A Mac (Apple Computer)
1. Go to the folder (use Finder) containing all of your pics you want to resize. If you have your pictures in iPhoto simply export them to your Library.
2. Highlight all of the photos, and double-click to open in Preview, or right-click and choose Open With Preview.
3. Once you’re in Preview (this is the default picture viewer for a Mac) go to Edit and choose Select All.
4. Next go to Tools and select Adjust Size.
5. Next enter the desired size for all of the images.
6. Last go to File and choose Save All.
That’s it! This is unbelievably simple and saves me so much time!

As I mentioned last week, I will be guest hosting for one hour during author L.M. Preston’s, The Pack, book release party on facebook this Saturday, September 28. The party begins at 11 a.m. and will run through 11 p.m. I’ll be hosting during the one o’clock hour.
I made these fairy dust bookmarks to giveaway during that hour because, well, it offered up a perfectly good excuse to craft (as though I need one!)
During my facebook hour I will ask you to pop on over here and answer a question. The winners will be chosen at random.
However as lovely as these bookmarks are, they aren’t the only things up for grabs.
This Friday 9/29 at 7pm-9pm EST, join the Twitter Party and use the hashtag #ThePackRetributionParty and @LM_Preston prizes include $10 Amazon Gift cards for 3 winners, books by authors participating in the blog tour, and other swag.
There is also a Rafflecopter giveaway going on right now check out L.M. Preston’s blog for more details!
A Fine Frenzy a.k.a. Alison Sudol is one of my favorite artists. I can’t wait till her new albmum comes out!

If I am blessed to become a mature woman such as herself, that is exactly how I plan to dress!
It’s been a while since I’ve shared my life via my iPhone photos…
Here’s what’s been going on this ninth month of the year!
1. I really liked this Kirena Zabete dress at Target, mostly because it had a mock pettiskirt, I didn’t buy it because of the exposed zipper down the front, it through me off completely and against my skin it wasn’t very comfortable. I’m keeping an eye on it hoping I can score it on clearance!
2. A pensive moment.
3. My eldest son learned to ride a bike!
4. Getting my butt in shape!
5. My youngest son is a ninja. Shhh don’t tell anyone.
6. I really love my eldest son Michael’s smile these days. It’s so goofy!
I came across this quote and it immediately spoke to me, as I am so looking forward to the end of the missing of my beloved.
19 months and counting.

This afternoon my kids really tested my patience. Sassy mouths, whining, and all together mischievous behavior. After I put a stop to that nonsense I opened up a bottle of Pinot Noir and poured myself a few glasses.
Wine my secret weapon for not going off the edge!
