"Ginger, you're going to have to talk louder! It's crazy around here and I can't hear you." Hal screamed into the phone.

"I said that I'm still in Seattle and have nothing new to report. I haven't been able to locate anyone else."

"Does this mean that you're going to be gone for a while longer?"

"Yes, I'm not sure when I'll be home yet. I need to give it another week or so then I'll be back."

"Take as much time as you need. Ginger, I can't tell you how great business has been since you started all of this. I'm thinking of buying out the place next door and expanding the bar."

I looked out at the rain and rolled my eyes. Even Hal's life improves when I'm not around. I really am a loser.

"That's great, Hal. I'm really happy for you."

"Listen, I'm swamped right now and can't get out of the kitchen so I'm going to transfer you to the girls out front. I know they are dying to talk to you."

"Thanks, Hal. Try not to work too hard."

"Are you kidding? I’m loving this! Listen, take care of yourself. We miss you around here."

I couldn't help but smile as I listened to the series of clicks that meant I was being put on hold until my friends could pick up the line in the restaurant. Hal's business was booming, but he still missed me.

Knowing that my friends care about me and miss me should be enough to make me happy. I should tell them that I'm coming home, but I don't know if I'll have the courage to say the words.

I'm Sorry!

The Story of Me

Download wordart here

I've finished the fifth day of Camp Nanowrimo and have finally gotten over ten thousand words written. There's still a long way to that 50,000 word goal!

This book is called The Story of Me and it's sad. REALLY, really sad! I don't want to confuse you with parts of this story and The Day Ginger Snapped so I won't give you too much of the actual stroy line.....yet. I will share this line with you though.....

My mother had given me away. She gave me away on Valentine’s Day
and she had used a sheet of notebook paper to sign over her rights.


See, I told you it was sad!

I think that's why the writting is going so slow for me. It's hard to write sad stuff and I have to keep taking breaks.

So far, there aren't very many nice people in this book. Many of the characters have names that match the ones you guys have suggested. There's a Lily, Stephen, Irene, Clara, Harmony, Pat, Anniston, Chase, Clara, Mortimer and a Harvey. I've also used the last names, MacDougal, Van Ingen, Phillips and Cotton. I may have used some first names as last names, but I used them.

There are more characters coming and their names have been picked so I'll let you know when they enter into the plot.

Now, don't be too impressed if I've used your name or a name you suggested because like I said---not very many nice people so far. lol!

The fun part is how supportive everyone who is doing this has been. Everyone is sharing ideas and offering support. They're all nicer than the characters in my story are. lol!

I love fireworks!

OK, Ok, I know I make you guys read about how much I love fireworks every 4th of July and New's Years, but seriously.....I love fireworks!!!

Tonight we sat outside and had the perfect view of SIX---yes I said six!---different firework displays. Now, most of them were small and far enough away that they weren't really impressive.

The fireworks from Fisher Island were beautiful, but really didn't last very long. That was disappointing because the Fisher Island people are super rich! They should have put on a longer fireworks display.

The fireworks from Bayfront Park had the added beauty of the Miami skyline so as usual they were my favorite this year.

There weren't any fireworks from Star Island, but that's ok because no one can out do the display P. Diddy put on 5 or 6 years ago. Do you remember that? There was a big blow up between him and Rosie O'Donnell because of it.

She went on TV and said, "You set of fireworks and my kids were sleeping. They were scared and it's all your fault."---or something like that. Then he came back and said, "Yeah, i set of fireworks. It was the 4th of July. DUH!"---or something like that.

Well, we were there! We weren't actually at P. Diddy's party, but we were sitting on our side of the bay (the poor side) watching the fireworks from his party. They were awesome!

Happy 4th of July!

Why aren't I asleep?

Well, I told you the caffeine was going to keep me up last night and it did. I did learn a very important lesson though. I learned that when you text people at 3AM they tend to not text you back right away. lol!

The last time I remember looking at the clock, it was going on 4AM and I was still awake. I had finished reading one book and started reading another, I had counted to 100 more times than I can remember and I sent everyone I've ever met a text message hoping someone else was awake and wanting to talk. No one was!

It was around ten this morning when the house phone started ringing and I could hear my cell phone chirping in an attempt to let me know that people were waking up and returning my text messages. Sure, now that I'm finally sleeping everyone else is awake. lol!

I went ahead and got up because I had lots of things to do and figured I would catch up on the sleep tonight. I got most of my errands completed and managed to stay dry at the rain storms came through.

Now, I want to sleep but I'm still wide awake.....UGH!
