Three Springy Thoughts for Thursday

Three Springy Thoughts for Thursday

by | Apr 5, 2012 | Three Thoughts for Thursday

Spring is in full swing with Easter celebrations in the works for the weekend. You have just enough time to check out these three thoughts for Thursday before preparations for the celebration crowds out everything else.

  1.  A breathtakingly beautiful drive across the eastern half of our state – its red bud, wild plum, and crab apple trees in bloom mile after mile – made me grateful to live in Iowa in springtime.
  2. Watching oneself in a video is not nearly as breathtakingly beautiful as a drive across Iowa in the spring. In fact, the experience is so painful, I won’t make a habit of watching the book trailer for Different Dream Parenting. But if you’ve been wondering how the book came to be, check out both the trailer and information about how to order the new electronic version of the book here.
  3. Did you see Target’s Easter ad in the Sunday paper? Beside the picture of a carton of eggs was a big, red target dot spinning them as “ready to cook and dye eggs!” How long did it take for the advertizing department to come up with that one?

What’s the craziest spin you’ve seen in an ad? Leave a comment so we can chuckle with you.

Technology Woman Is on a Roll

Technology Woman Is on a Roll

Those of you who read yesterday’s post know I’m a little testy this week. “2 much technology 4 me 2 do,” as a Twitter post would say. And since Twitter is one of Technology woman’s  testiness catalysts, it deserves a mention here.

However, progress has been made in the past 24 hours. The website is coming along slowly but surely, and my web guy may not be the whip cracker first impressions made him out to be.  And while I’m not quite moving forward in the Twitter sea, I am treading water which is a step up from the drowning sensation of last week.

But the big news is that the publicist at Discovery House Publishers completed the book trailer for A Different Dream for My Child and posted it at a variety of places on the web, including YouTube. If you’re wondering what a book trailer is, you can find out by clicking this link. Of course, that’s assuming this technology woman wannabe follows directions so everything works like it should.
