• Travel Day


    My Kindle is loaded, I’m wearing my comfy shoes, and I’m ready to navigate the airports because we’re off to chilly IOWA to hang out with my sweet father in law.

    ***BRRRR****

    Send me some warm thoughts, okay? And if you’re in the Phoenix or Denver airports today, keep your Twitter and Facebook streams open for some random, “Catch the Rush at…” posts and you might win a book or two. 🙂

    What are your plans this weekend?

  • Iowa Sunrise


    Ohhh, I saw this one on Facebook from one of my Iowa friends.

    Check. This. Out….

    Sure, I could do without the SNOW!!!!. But look at that sky. Absolutely beautiful!!

    If you have any sunrise pictures you want to share, link them in the comments. I love sunrises and sunsets!

  • I’m in IOWA!


    Okay, no Iowa jokes….well, only if they’re funny.

    Yep, I’m here in Iowa for a few weeks. I’m super excited, too, because I get to spend time with Charlie’s parents.

    You might remember Lynn from my posts about her here and here and here.

    Yeah, I kinda like her (and her son…LOL) Anyway, I came to Iowa to hang out with her and help around the house as she works to get stronger after her big surgery so she can face another round of Chemo.

    Oh, and I’m sure we’ll be talking writing–JUST a little bit. Considering I have to get going on my Violet Midnight edits, I’m sure I’ll be doing some editing as well.

    I went for a run today. It’s kind of creepy-fun running the paved trails through the corn fields. Stalks taller than me on both sides….Feels so Children of the Corn-like…..
