Friday’s Fun Find: Thank You Notes

ImageThey’re little things–thank you notes–but they can sure make a body feel good.

I opened my mail to find this seriously cute Santa thank you note from Lynn (Her story’s in Fifty Shades of Santa) and I had to smile. I mean, who doesn’t like Christmas in March?

And then I read Luke’s thank you note (I’d picked up an Uncle John’s Bathroom Reader for a quarter and passed it along to Debra’s son. He’s a huge fan of the series.) First, he called me, “Miss Cathy” which, I am not gonna lie, takes me back to much younger days when the little Brownies called me “Miss Cathy.” And secondly, he wrote that he was “spurting random facts to friends and family.” Come on, now. You have to smile at that.

Thank you notes. Little things, I know. But isn’t it fun to get one?

A Bizarre Thing Happened on the Way to Writing

ImageThe most bizarre thing happened to me the other day. Well… maybe not the most bizarre thing. But it was bizarre in a writing sort of way and why I bring it up here.

Though technically, you’ll have to zip over to this Muffin post to get the bizarre details.

(And now, I’m starting to think that perhaps I’ve oversold this particular bizarre situation. Like maybe you’re expecting to hear that J.K. Rowling and Stephen King met me in the grocery store and asked for my autograph.

Come on, people. As if J.K. and Stephen would shop on the same day–)
