by jphilo | Feb 9, 2012 | Three Thoughts for Thursday
For the past week, my nose has been buried in the book proposal. It’s off to the agent now – hopefully her nose will be buried in it soon – and my mind is free to think three bookish thoughts for Thursday.
- Though writing a book proposal involves fewer bodily fluids than giving birth, they both create big messes to clean up after the deed is done.
- In my book, the Super Bowl halftime show was a little overdone. Either that or I’m jealous of Madonna, who is only five years younger than me, can still dance in 5 inch heels. Bet her glutes are stronger than mine, too.
- Would it be self-serving to mention that Different Dream Parenting chances of becoming a finalist in the 2011 Readers’ Choice Award depends on the number of nominations it receives at this link from readers like you?
You’re right, it sounds self-serving, so I’m not gonna mention it. I’ll practice falling dancing in 5 inch heels instead.

My, my, my it’s cold outside today. Apparently, winter’s a little upset about not being invited to her own party in 2012 and is now making her presence known. Maybe these three thoughts for Thursday will melt her icy little heart!
- If you think our world isn’t a safe place, think again. The Apostrophe Protection Society’s vigilance in keeping punctuation terrorists at bay is constant and well-documented at their website.
- When I grow up, I want to go to high tea with Maggie Smith at Downton Abbey. Provided she’s not at Hogwarts that day, of course.
- The Super Bowl-themed coupon flyer in our Sunday paper was puzzling. First came the ads for football snack foods. Then came disposable diapers, Depends, and feminine hygiene products coupons. At the end, more ads for munchies. Do you think the advertisers were sending subliminal suggestions about what to do if the halftime show is a bust?
So, what will you be doing during the Super Bowl halftime?
