Contests
Hey dudes. Got a huge
surprise for you this week. So stay tuned.
I've been looking into
book contests in order to put Snapshots From Home; Stories From
Dysfunctional High School into but every contest wants a huge fee.
$75 doesn't sound like much but multiply that by how many contests
there are! Now think about it from their stand-point. How many
submissions do they get a day? I think the money is in judgment and
not creation. Lol
The Indie-fees are worse
too. They charge not just a fee but also a fee per category. And
that's the one for small houses and self-published, which is of
course the people who had the least money to begin with.
I did find a good one with
no fee. The American Book Award. I think that's very kool!
Anyway a HUGE secret is
revealed this week so stay tuned into.... As The Stomach Churns! DUM
DUM DA.... lol
That's my side of it,
Angel
PS. Don't forget to enter
the audio contest for voice actors on my website. No huge fees I
promise!

Klingon as a Second Language
Stress relief blog...
I hope. Lol because I am
so nervous about my event. I have put so much into this that it's a
bit like my own formal wedding! And just like in a real wedding the
bride needs a sedative just to walk down the aisle in order to keep
her from unraveling and screaming at random strangers PMS-ridden
madness like, “OMG! Why would you wear that in public?” or my
personal favorite, “Is your kid crying because of that terrible
hair-cut?”
So before I unravel
completely, a silly rant for fun. A little laughter never hurt anyone
in any legally binding way IF you read the fine print. Today my
lovely rant is at the lack of education in this country... or should
I say Higher Education. I have actually seen on the news a report on
a college that offers Klingon as a second language. I can see how
serious the career path of this student is. He or she wants not only
to function in corporate America but won't the executive CEO on
Forbes magazine look perfect when they can communicate not with other
countries properly, but intergalacticly with fictional characters!
Ah, how the Romulains must envy us. The entire universe will be at
our command as we in corporate America sit in our padded cubicles and
spend invisible money like a politician on crack investing in the new
HR and PR bumper-sticker campaign of, “People who don't exist are
people too!”
Who thought up this
course, found a demographic who required it and decided to charge for
it? And who is taking this class? Are these the same people whose
level of self-contempt is so high that they sit around preparing
legal briefs that they may then sue themselves for defamation? Using
as evidence of estrangement, the fact that they haven't talked to
themselves in months?
Is it perhaps the guys who
when asked if they could hear only one artist preform before they
died who would that be, they answered Van Gogh and then stated that
they didn't mind if he was tone-deaf now? Are these the same people
who in fact have to study the instructions on shampoo bottles every
day before they bathe? Are these the kind of people who argue over
whether the tracks they see are deer or bear and contemplate it so
long that the train runs them over?
Do they truly, deeply care
about the treatment of our fictional characters in the work place? Or
are they like that one band... you know the guy sings,
“Do-wah-diddy-diddy-dum-diddy-do'” but you can tell he doesn't
mean it! I put it to you that these people don't really care whether
or not the Saggy-Baggy elephant ever gets his liposuction. Neither do
they care if the Big Bad Wolf is endangered! These so called sages
are in fact just weasels! I guess that's okay though, eagles may soar
high, but weasels never get sucked into jet-engines!
That's my side of it,

Failure through the eyes of an addict
My Nanna used to say,
“Nothing beats a failure but a try.” Sure that's true... slow and
steady wins the race and all that crap. But a lot of times I think
failure gets a really bad rap. If you never fail then how do you ever
learn?
When you were a baby did
you pop out of your mom and just start running? No! In order to learn
to walk you had to lift your head, roll side to side, sit-up, wobble,
bounce, stand, step and walk. I assure you to learn all of that, to
finally master walking you had to fall on your ass a lot!!!
Failure teaches us
something new every time we screw-up. Does that mean make a habit of
it? No. Repeating the same behavior and expecting different results
is the textbook definition of insanity. How though does one measure
lessons learned and the long journey to success if not by failure?
In AA we say, “will not
regret our past neither wish to shut the door on it.” I was a
severe asshole, so why wouldn't I regret that? Because it took that
screwed-up person to make this spiritually healthy person. Had I
never mis-stepped I might have never realized that there were other
people on earth but me. I might just have ambled along thinking that
anyone who ever screwed-up in the least was a heathen blight on the
face of humanity. I had to fall down in order to learn what getting
back up was about.
While it is true that you
can't hit bottom until you stop digging, there is much to be learned
from failure about success. Also it is from failure that we learn to
teach others and help a brother out when needed!
That's my side of it,

Silly blog
Things I don't get:
1. Why don't the cops ever
think it's as funny as I do?
2. Where do those crime
shows get all those blurry faced actors?
3. If an aura is a
magnetic field why don't I stick to the refrigerator?
4. If I get into my
dresser's drawers is it still a virgin?
5. How exactly does Cat
Women mark her territory?
Fun things to do at the
doctor's office
1. Use your ventriloquist
skills during your prostate exam!
2. Ask if you can donate a
stool sample to science.
3. Convince them that
Dracula did your last blood test and you're waiting for the results.
4. When the doctor insists
on your papsmear test, insist that you lost the key to your chastity
belt.
5. In a very dramatic way
yell, “I’ve been seeing another specialist behind your back!”
Then hand him a bouquet of roses!

Painting and Postal
Going to start painting
again soon. It relaxes me and I can block out so many annoying things
when I paint. It's funny because art has never been my passion. It
was always just something I knew how to do. I used to get so
aggravated with drawing. I had a job in animation once. I hated
drawing the same image over and over. I hated that job so much that
to this day I think animating cartoons is a job they should give
prisoners as a punishment! Lol
Painting somehow is
different. I love it. It feels free and easy and wonderful I'm not
really certain why?
SHHHH! Secret! Don't tell
my mom but I painted her something. I promise to get that very late
birthday present mailed before her next birthday. They keep losing my
packages... even sent the books I donated to the Indian School to the
wrong address. I can't afford to replace them. Grrr! I need to paint!
Kisses all!

HEB shout out! And freebies!
Huge shout out! And Fest
Wow guys this is beyond
belief! A gigantic, heart-felt shout out to the kind people at HEB.
Especially to Christa who represents HEB's literacy foundation. I was
over whelmed when she told me they would donate bags and books to the
Literacy Fest 2014! I assumed that meant three small boxes of
books.... I WAS WRONG! She and HEB have generously donated what looks
to me like hundreds of books to be given away at our event.
A few will also be in our
raffle which is to raise money for placing books in schools and
libraries. IF we have any books left over they will be donated to the
homeless shelter... which means that today your friendly green grocer
helped the whole world. I say this because just a simple book can
make such a difference in the life of one who has lost all that they
held dear... because someone cared.
As I always say life is
about paying it forward. This I truly believe with all of my heart.
There is a famous adage that states, “There is no evil greater than
he who did nothing because he could do little.” I don't think truer
words were ever spoken. That is really why I wrote my book... anyone
who begins to feel that no one understands and no one cares is
entertaining a very dangerous mind-set.
(LOL I know now you are
saying, “Damn girl! Again with this mindset crap? I'm in AA so
basically.... yes! Lol)
Any detrimental thing that
we do to our bodies, ourselves and yes, even to others begins with a
dangerous mind-set. One random act of kindness can change a mind-set,
touch a heart, fill a soul and ultimately change a life. Imagine how
much easier our toils and troubles would be if everyone gracefully
extended their hand to help another. My book is priced lower simply
for that reason. This is the only way that I know to reach out to
those I have never met. It isn't hard to do. I hope it helps them as
much as it has helped me... for tonight I see the goodness in the
world. Tonight I see miracles coming to light. My soul is full. Thank
you Christa. Thank you HEB. Thank you Kathleen Shields and mostly....
thank you My Creator!
That's my side of it,
Angel

Good news and Bad
Hi guys,
I am excited because we
got an entry in my contest today and she is really
good. It's the only good news I've had for a while.
I've been missing because
of my health... again. The doctors did finally try me on opiates this
week and great news... I'm allergic! Broke out in hives and my throat
swelled shut... go me! Is there anything left on earth that I'm not
allergic too?
Sadder still, beyond the
fact that the pain will increase is the fact that they told me
there's nothing more they can do for me. I'm out of options. Go me...
and don't come back! Lol
Who knows what happens to
people who go catatonic? Maybe it's the greatest feeling ever. And
you know they might cure SM tomorrow.
So that happened.
I'm kind of getting a
bucket list together but you know what's truly kool? There won't be
much on it. I've done what was important. I've achieved all kinds of
things. I stayed sober and still do. I think though I want to visit
Wounded Knee. We had ancestors come from there and be relocated to
the Indian School in Pennsylvania. It was one of the first ones.
You know, I know, I didn't
write it but if you ever want a good read about history pick up a
Dear America book entitled, “My Heart is On The Ground.” It's
quite good. Actually I've never read one in that series I didn't
like. But then once a teacher, always a teacher! Lol
That's my side of it,

Fest news
Finishing up things for
the Literacy Fest 2014 and I have to admit this is killer hard work.
I never thought that promoting a book and organizing one event could
ever be so very much work.
C'mon out and bring the
kids, grandbabies. I'll have a little literacy corner for the
toddlers complete with giant building blocks! In addition there will
be games for older kids, coloring sheets, activities, a story time,
question and answer sessions and signings. There will be lots of free
food and fun and even a raffle with proceeds to get books out there
to libraries and to kids who just can't afford them (homeless
shelters, unwed mothers etc.) HEB our local green grocer is donating
and there are plenty of freebies and give-away bags to be had while
supplies last. See you there!

My OCD giggle
My OCD lol
Sorry I was gone from here
guys.... PC issues. And please don't miss our Literacy Fest on the
29th.
I have noticed a growing
trend that is really irking me, people in decent medical health
walking around, looking intelligent enough until out of their mouth
comes a phrase like, “Oh you'll have to excuse me. That must be my
OCD, Bi Polar, PTSD (fill in the blank.)” This growing trend isn't
funny and it isn't kool. In my opinion, neither is denying a child
who actually suffers from something medication for it. In my day that
was called criminal neglect.
The reason I am so adamant
about not using a mental disorder as opposed to an adverb or even,
dare I say it, a misplaced modifier is because if you suffered from
one of these disorders I seriously doubt you would take it so
lightly.
My daughter suffers from
OCD and her case is mild. If in school she was assigned a choice of
four topics she would find herself unable to pick one. She would
write on all four. Yet it was never good enough. She would have to
rewrite the papers repeatedly even after she got the grade. To this
day she hasn't stopped those reels of obsession. It is not uncommon
for her to insert, “That paper I wrote on ___ I should have really
used the word sardonic instead of sarcastic,” into an unrelated
conversation. She has been graduated for 5 years and she is still
rewriting those papers. They haunt her like some dark sin that needs
rectified. My point is those reels are still playing in her mind
every minute of every day.
She explained to me long
ago that OCD means eight or nine reels playing continuously in your
mind at once. I asked my shrink years ago about this disorder. His
response was, “OCD is worse for the sufferer than having
schizophrenia.” I felt terrible also for having told her for so
many years, “Dammit! Would you just let it go and come to the
present moment!” It would appear she couldn't help it.
Go and turn on every radio
in a store to a different channel and turn the volume up as loud as
it will go. Live with that truth for five minutes and tell me then,
is it a joke? Imagine that noise in your head every minute for the
rest of your life. Still funny?
That's my side of it,

Everything I Ever Needed to Know I Learned on FB
Everything I Ever Needed
to Know I learned on FB
I have to admit first that
I had been searching for a meaning to my life for a while. I was
becoming increasingly a sad sack. Now however I am happy to report my
life and mind-set are cured entirely. My unlikely savior? Face Book.
In the midst of my depression I cam across a meme on FB. It had a
lovely philosophical saying, “When life hands you lemons... add
Vodka.” I had my answer. I was able to start drinking at every
opportunity. It fixed everything... but then the detox program
charged me what little I had had left of my savings. And since I got
fired for drinking on the job... they repossessed my liver.
Again I was sad and
feeling incomplete. I returned again to my Temple of Social Media as
it were. Another meme dictated that I should think of all things in a
more positive way... and the absolutely breath taking picture of a
totally unrelated topic inspired me greatly. It made me a better
person instantly. It said that I should just become whoever it was I
idolized because they were inspirational for a reason. Along side of
that was a picture of a cute puppy. I had found my answer... sadly...
it didn't work out. Did you guys know that identity theft is a crime?
So after I finished
serving my time I was ready to start a new life. I was ready to find
my mate and settle down. I was at a loss on how to do exactly that. I
searched my beloved internet for the answer to my prayers. The next
meme I saw solved my romantic problems! It insisted that the object
of my desires wanted greatly to be kissed more, held more and told
that they are loved. I was unaware that the opposite sex prefers to
know who you are first. Luckily the charges were dropped.
Sadly I found out after
that I was dying. I have begun to worry about my immortal soul. But
what worries me more is this... when I meet St. Peter will he inform
me that I was denied entrance to Heaven because I didn't fwd to 20
people?
That's my side of it,

True Happiness
True Happiness? The real
fun of being a shaman and non-denominational minister.....
Hi guys. I know my blog is
very late again. I have been ill as usual except no the clock in my
body dictates that I sleep from 7 in the evening to 1 in the morning,
and being that I am severely allergic to coffee... well that's not
fixing itself. Lol
I was planning on writing
a silly thing until someone I know asked a question. Will this new
(fill in the blank) make me happy? No. It really won't. Now before
you start pointing the finger and saying nasty names at her for not
knowing that remember this.... commercials, ads and commercial arts
work for a reason. It's because people actually think if they have
the right shoes, cars, house, social-standing (fill in the blank)
they will be fulfilled. Remember that is why lottery tickets sell so
incredibly well... if I just lived a life of leisure... that would
fill the hole in my soul.
It is like the alcoholic
mindset on a smaller but universally believed in scale. If I drink
that wine... chicks'll dig me. It's fun in a bottle.
Here is my response to
her...
My
true meaning, not to pop your bubble was if you can conceive it and
believe it you will achieve it. There is no happy cure all. I believe
the terrible times exist for a reason. They give us tools and help us
define our character. They are learning experiences. Not just for us
but for others in the same situation. That is what we use to make
ourselves truly happy. Because that is how the soul feeds itself. If
you want to feel happier, more content you will not find that in a
book. Neither in a quick-fix or a name change or one of those trite
and badly written self-help type things. Wanna get rid of the
sickening hole inside? We have a phrase we use in AA that has never
failed me once, "Become of use to God and his fellows”
(speaking of recovering from addiction, without relapses.) THAT is
where contentment and feeling comfortable in your own skin comes
from. Service to others. Don't agree? See Taoism... the usefulness of
what is, lies in what is not. See the Bible, Be ye a fisher of men or
the story of the 2 alms. See Native lore 2 wolves ... the one you
feed. Atheist maybe... see the studies of Galileo ... the universe
does not revolve around us. Neither do I
ever want it to.
If you are too stuck in
your own mind, your own troubles, your own status... prepare to
become miserable quickly. Whereas, if you think to yourself, “Self,
I was in that situation once myself. Perhaps I can help this poor
schmo along... or at least be empathetic since I was there once.”
THAT is being of use. Do I mean giving advice and bailing everyone
else's butt out? NOPE. I mean a feeling of isolation or of no one
ever understanding leads to feelings that are much more dangerous.
Simply telling someone that they are not alone and being there for
them or volunteering your time to the cause of your choice after a
while pulls us out of ourselves and out of darkness.
We all grow old and fat...
that perfect figure is fleeting. Those lottery winnings... gone
before you know what hit you. Social status and social climbing makes
you look the fool as it also is temporary and fixes nothing. That
drink that gives you life long friends... well the short explanation
is... drinking buddies and true friends have a difference that is
more vast then the Grand Canyon. Try throwing everything you've got
into that career of yours, then tell me in your last breath whether
or not you said, “The one thing I'll miss here is work.” Just
sayin' lol
That's my side of it,
Angel

Repost huffing
This little girl in question died.
Huffing, sniffing, dusting
and bagging
A friend of mine called
today and told me of a concern her neighbor had with her daughter...
apparently the girl is huffing. She can't seem to get help and I
informed my friend sadly that there is no non-medical detox. Just
like with heroine addicts that require methadone in order to stop or
they will die, huffing detoxes need to be watched by a qualified
treatment center or medical doctor, or so I am told.
Now for those of us (like
me) who are rather uneducated on the topic I will list a couple of
definitions:
Huffing – when a
chemically soaked rag is held to the face or stuffed in the mouth and
substance is inhaled (usually gasoline)
sniffing – inhalant drug
that can be done directly from containers, clothing, plastic bags or
rags saturated with the substance or even from the product directly
bagging- putting spray
paint in a bag and putting it over one's head
dusting - inhaling
“computer duster” to get high. (Contrary to popular belief this
is NOT air in a can)
Inhaling substances for a
high has a lot of danger to it. Did you know it can cause cancer and
leukemia? Have you ever heard of “Sudden Sniffing Death Syndrome”?
That is when the heart beat becomes erratic and rapid causing the
user to go into cardiac arrest. That can happen the very first time
you use an inhalant drug.
Just like alcoholism
inhalant addiction is just that... an addiction. And just like with
alcoholism an addict will go to any length to get their fix. Some
will even spray the inhalant onto their clothes or soak clothing in
the substance to be sniffed so they can carry their drug of choice
for use later. Unlike alcohol this sufferers high will only last a
few minutes, forcing the addict to keep huffing, sniffing or whatever
to prolong their high.
As a parent myself I have
to say here I would be stumped and without a clue if I had not done
research on this topic for a friend. Today's drug paraphernalia is
not the simple bong of yester-year. Today's parents have to look for
soda cans, rags, clothing, plastic bags, paper bags... and the list
goes on. It's quite frightening and over-whelming just reading the
info and so I can certainly sympathize for that parent and of course
the addict.
My advice to this woman
would be... get her to an ER quickly and have her Baker-acted if you
have to. This stuff is too scary to screw around with. Even as an
addict myself I wouldn't want a high that kills you the first time.
The attraction to that is way above my head. But then more then
likely it is the exact same mind-set that we alkies have. Our friends
died in car wrecks but it could NEVER happen to me... right? Know
what? It does. Statistically 15% of suffocation deaths in the US are
linked to inhalants... what makes that statistic even more tragic is
that most inhalant abuse deaths are attributed to other causes and
therefore remain unreported and hidden. Scary stuff!
That's my side of it,
Angel

Promoting with a disability
I spent all day with my
daughter handing out fliers for the Literacy Fest 2014. I found a few
places that might want signings but no promises yet. However, I am in
very poor health so by the time we got home it was straight to bed
and I have been there ever since. The day is shot.
I am currently in the
process of writing a proposal for funding for audio books. Dude! I
hate writing proposals. It's too hard. I can't get my mind really
around what they want. Anyone out there writing business plans I
don't envy you!
Okay so my book is out in
soft cover. I have an audio book contest going on for voice actors
and the Lit Fest is in just a couple of weeks. So yes I'm swamped. It
feels good to be needed but I'm not sure how much my body is going to
let me do.
I'll bet my daughter is
more frazzled. It seems like most places don't have wheelchair ramps.
I think that is so unfair. Do you know the last place I lived
actually refused to put a ramp in for my apartment? They were none
too nice in telling me no as well. The place I bought this wheelchair
didn't have a ramp. It did have like 1000 steps though. Funny thing
you have to show your ID and sign if you're using a Rx from a doctor
too. That was the only place close... so I got to walk a LOT of
steps.
I was talking to a friend
and she was sympathizing with me about my condition and how I've
basically fallen through the cracks. Truth is as I told her I feel
that God allows me to be in this chair so that some one else going
into a chair can ask me what they're in for. And maybe also because
people who say, “Well of course you can't. You're disabled,” will
basically have to shut their mouths!
Secret.... SHHHHH! Secret
…. if I can you can.... cuz I'm not that smart. Don't tell
anyone.... I’m hoping they all mistake me for a freakin genius!
SHHHHH!
Any way I would like to
say to my friend Sandy.... thanks for helping me pull my head outta
my arse! God bless and keep you... and I mean everyone! Because
everyone of us has some kind of a disability!
That's my side of it,

Softcover and Kids' Stuff
Soft
cover and Kids stuff...
Hey
guys! My book Snapshots From Home; Stories From Dysfunctional High
School is out in soft cover NOW! Hooray!!! If you're looking for it
at the best price google the full book title and put softcover next
to it. That's best when comparing prices.
Also
my Literacy Fest is really not that far in the future! It's nearly
March 29 already!
I
was gone for a couple of days spending some time with my husband and
his grandson came for a visit. Tyler and I made lots of crafts and
had a wonderful time. We made a St. Patrick's Day snow globe. It was
fun, we took a snow globe form and Tyler found a toy car (wooden) and
we fist glued that down. Then we took some shamrock confetti and he
put that in the actual globe part, then you just basically reassemble
the form and Voila … lots of giggles and a really kool toy that
none of his friends have.
You
know they grow so fast. Next year he won't like crafts any more. He
does like music right now though so I'm thinking of buying him a
starter guitar for his birthday. I think he'd like that.
So
today I am just swamped with work because yesterday my husband sent
me and Sarah out for a girl's day at the salon. That was totally what
I needed to just relax for a bit. Got my hair and face done for my
event. Last week he took me shopping for a suit for my book tour, as
I have only one decent dress and one tattered suit. I really have to
say... at my age I look absolutely horrid in Armani (which is nice on
my wallet) but I look awesome in Anne Klein. I guess I wasn't made on
an assembly line because so many places on my body don't even match
any more. Lol I am quickly becoming pear-shaped! Lol
I
rarely spoil me because quite simply, it isn't cost-effective and I
don't like wasting money on things that aren't practical. That's just
me. It is nice to be spoiled once in a while though. Do something
nice for yourself today. It's really relaxing. Beyond that I adore
that you're spending your valuable time to follow my blog! Thanks!
That's
my side of it,

Decorative Tape Syndrome
Things
I don't get:
1. If dogs don't like it when
you blow on their face, why do they stick their head out the car
window?
2. When did the meaning of
half-off become I can only buy half of what I used to for the same
price?
3. why do little kids know how
to lock themselves in a room, but not how to unlock that same door to
come out?
4. when Humpty Dumpty fell off
the wall why didn't he sue all the kings horse for malpractice?
5. if a man argues with himself;
is he still wrong?
6. if my dog really is
half-billy goat why isn't that on her adoption papers under breed?
7. that every time I save ten
bucks I can't rest until I've spent twenty?
See pictured the tape I bought
for the new games I will be making in a few weeks. This stuff makes
it so much easier to trim a board game so when they're on sale I buy
some. My husband thinks I have a problem. I don't get it? Is he
trying to tell me he needs a shrink or what?

Schools, Tours and Texas
Schools,
Tours and Texas
Hey
guys! I am feeling a bit better but still so busy! Who'd a thunk a
book was this much work to promote? Lol (Yes I am aware that thunk is
not a word! lol)
So
I am writing a second book this one is for women and I'm to chapter
6. I love writing because it's extremely addicting. I also hate
writing because it is extremely addicting! It takes up too much
time... but I love that time. It feels like down time.
So
far I have the local grocery donating some books to my event! Way to
go HEB. I also have built a LOT of stuff for it! I am talking to
schools now and some school boards are actually looking at it! AH! I
feel like a millionaire...and in my opinion, that is far superior to
actually being one! Just sayin!
I
am also in the process of planning a book tour starting with signings
at Half-Price books... probably not starting until April, but from
what we've discussed it may span all of San Antonio. I love San
Antonio... they really know how to make a girl feel special. They
love to promote things that originate here... but again that's not
why. It's because it really is all about me. Lol I'm just kidding I
know full well that it's really all about chocolate!
My
People have a belief... an old lore that states that each man will
return to the soil where his soul was created even if he's never set
foot here. That is how I felt when I entered Texas... like I was
finally home. I felt that way more so when I walked into this house.
I doubt I will ever move.
Before
I lived here I had a weird idea about Texas. I figured it had one
cowboy, one cactus and some tumbleweed and that nothing else existed
here! LOL I must say I have never seen such vast beauty and so many
forests as I have seen in Texas. I love it here. I even love when the
deer eat my plants! I think I shall stay for all time!
That's
