https://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/sam444/A personal journal of my life in the Treasure Valley, Boise, Idaho! hourly12000-01-01T12:00+00:00https://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/sam444/995920I got a questionnaire regarding the front and back of my poetry book. I wrote the blurb yesterday and would like input as to readability, did it want you to look at the book and any other suggestion you might have to improve it. Poetry book blurb It seems our lives are spent looking at the world,...https://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/sam444/995893My representative responded to my questions. I felt some of her responses were along the lines of disclaimers rather than specifically to my book. When this is done I'm going to suggest they do a 'welcome' type packet to explain the process.i have been more confused than necessary. When then sent...https://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/sam444/995873Jessica had a color yesterday so I stayed home. Even though the dyes for hair color have come a long way with processing we have found it still aggravates my asthma. Lungs break down as we age and what would not have bothered me much in the past is rather persistent now. Therefore, I had some...https://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/sam444/995852l received the second draft of my poetry book on Thursday. I usually scan it and then think about the changes the next day followed by my written response. I have never pressured the agent who was assigned to me but I was a bit miffed when I got an email on Friday asking if I had looked things...https://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/sam444/995829Earlier in the Spring I bought a weeding tool. I am happy to report it works as advertised. I got a lot done in the big flower bed in the back yard. I hope to finish it tomorrow afternoon. My Tigers were on a winning streak but that ended today. Hopefully tomorrow they start a new streak. I...https://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/sam444/995821Today was like a crazy double bad Monday morning. It started out nice enough but it all began at Carter's with the baby outfit return. It was going well at first and then the cashier asked about the socks. It was a 4 piece outfit. I told her i I didn't remember getting socks. The order had quite...https://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/sam444/995796After Jessica and Chris announced they were expecting a baby girl I felt like it was a green light to buy clothes. I know her taste for the most part and I'm good at finding cute outfits at great prices. However I have bought two different outfits, twice. Lol Jessica has outfits in her registry...https://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/sam444/995780I had to go to the beauty salon supply store this morning. There are several stores in the valley and according to the app and the web site the color Jessica needed was out of stock. The client was vacillating on what she wanted. Since the tubes are a bit expensive she tries to avoid stocking...https://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/sam444/995749We had a high of 84 today. It was very pleasant. When I was at the salon the cats lined up at door at the inside door of the house to the salon. Talk about circadian cycle on cue. It was Jessica's last appointment for the day and how they know it is beyond me. They were ready for their daily...https://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/sam444/995722Jessica and Chris came over today to mow and pull weeds. It's crazy how many weeds find their way over the fall and winter in the flower bed. My flower bed wraps around my house on the south front and west side of the house. My guess, it is at least 50 feet by 24 inches. The soil has always been...
