Fate, What Cruel Hoax is This?!
Why can’t I just accept good fortune at its face value? I always start worrying that it is a fluke or cruel hoax.
Apparently I define myself by my anxieties. Life would be easier if I didn’t.
Ms. Scarlet and I have had some good omens (not related to the house per se) lately, and it makes me nervous. Good things happen to other people, primarily works of fiction.
I don’t want to jinx us, so no details until everything is writ in blood & official looking in a legally binding way. Keep your fingers crossed for us.
And, when it is all said and done, what I really want for Christmas is a real mortgage and weather stripping. An iPod would be nice too.

So you want to guess, huh?
My guess is a lucrative book deal. You are a talented writer and this national CNN-type attention is paying off.
Either that or you got a pet cat.
Unfortunately, no book deal. I wish it were, that would real nice.
As for the cat, we have one, but we haven't reclaimed him from my mother-in-law's since we moved.
I want a book deal real bad myself.
My guess is a great gallery showing of some type??
Sort of close with the gallery, but nothing so grand. I did sell a small watercolor recently, and that was nice in a beer-money sort of way.
As for a book deal, isn't that the secret dream of every blogger?
