My book-cover photo shoot is set for 9 am, and I’m so excited and tired all at the same time. I’ve been shopping for my outfit., he kid’s outfits, food and little nick-naks I needed for the shoot. I’m still cooking up some goodies, and still have a lot to do before I try and get a nap…and I say nap because by this point, I probably won’t get to bed until 4 or 5ish…up again at 6 to make it to my shoot location by 7. The photographer won’t be there until 9 so I’ll have a small window to get everything set up.

I’m so excited I can’t hardly stand it!!! I’ve been waiting for this moment for 8 years. I’ve had the vision for this book-cover in my head for the 3 years and in a few hours it’ll finally happen…DREAMS DO COME TRUE!!!

Recently celebrating my 32nd birthday, as an adult I must confess, I still have a very hard time “learning how to except being respected” by other adults. Especially when my dream of seeing my new book on the store shelves become a reality. Experiencing the world’s opinion of me as an author, culinary home chef, wife, mother, and women. Please don’t get me wrong. I’m truly thankful for the blessings that have been received and that are yet to come. I basically needed to just say this out loud. This is one of my stuggles, and now my new prayer…”learning how to except being respected.”

My girl’s photographer has offered his skills in my little photography dilemma. I’m so grateful that he is pretty much saving my life here. He is the best I know, so I’m so comfortable he’ll do the cover just as I’ve envisioned it for so long. Thanks Dave!

My goodness, I have been working my tail off. I’m down to 3 pages left on my website. I’m so ready for all my pages to be done! You probably wouldn’t believe me if I told you, once upon a time it was nothing for me to stay up all hours of the night working on my personal websites.

I’ve owned purpletexen.net, gottalovethatgirl.com, and sainternetchef.com. I’ve probably had more just can’t remember the web addresses any more. I think when I hit my 30s I guess all that sleep I wasn’t getting back then was catching up with me. It takes all that I have to make myself stay up past 11pm these days. I know I’m being silly, but it’s the truth.

Well I guess I’ll see if there’s anything else I want to do on my pages, so I’m outta here for the time being…
