3 Years of Lollipopland



Using my favorite book making program, Blurb, I have put together a book of the past 3 years' worth of blog entries from this website. People roaming the Blurb library can order a softcover, hard cover with dust jacket or a hard cover with image wrapped of my book. Apparently, I have written enough blogs to make a 350 page book!!! Whooo Hooo! I always did want to be a book author and now for the very low price of $70 buck a roos you can buy my book full of spelling errors...but chock full of pictures of what happened in my exciting life the last 3 years.

Yeah, I know, you are terribly excited and can't wait to go purchase my book...Not! But at the very least it will make a nice coffee table book for me. I really didn't make the thing to sell but rather as an experiment of what I could do. More than anything it was fun to make. Basically what Blurb did was pull all of my blogs from Blogger and put them very nicely into a book. I went through and added some touches like varying layouts, etc. Even the pictures I had posted on my blog were neatly placed. All in order from earliest blog to the latest.

If you keep a blog I highly recommend you use this program and make a keepsake for yourself. At the very least I am sure you will enjoy looking back at your life years from now. Or perhaps your kids would like to know what mom or dad was up to back in the 2010's.

Next up is making a book out of an earlier book I wrote that only ever made in to manuscript form. Not anymore, my book is going to go hard cover!

I love Blurb!! I may never be a real author with a real New York Times top selling, published book but hey Blurb is just as much fun, I think.

Behind Door Number One

Have you ever watched those TV Game shows where they have a couple of doors and behind one is a grand prize? Well, this weekend the hub and I found out what was behind our Door #1. The hubby and I are starting the beginning phases of landscaping our backyard. Our first step, was to clean out the area behind our garage. When we moved in, there was about 2 feet of walking space behind our garage the rest of the area was covered in vines. Vines were growing on the roof and generally it was a mess. Not wanting the vines to take over the roof, we I started to clear out the vines last fall. But after we cut a million vines with only a pair of clippers we gave up and decided to clean out the rest in the spring. Spring came around and we didn't do much until one day when I was sick a few weeks ago, I ran into our gardener. I showed him the mess and asked if he knew of anyone who could come clean it out. I could tell he was actually, quite happy for me to broach the subject of ...

Surfing Goat Diary

We left the store and headed to the Surfing Goat Diary, again, this was a second trip for us but what was different this time is that we scheduled an hour long tour. Last time we arrive right before closing and were rushed. We spent a fair amount of time there exploring before the tour. We tried their cheesecake, we met the cats and dogs that roamed the place, we played in the playground, we pet and fed the baby goats that were penned up, and pursued the little store. Penny was eager to get her hands on the chocolate goat milk truffles. I must admit they did look good. I had my eyes on a t-shirt and a mug. Our tour started at 3:30pm that day and we met all the goats and learned all about the farm. But the most exciting part of the tour was getting the opportunity to milk the goats. Penny was quite a good milker. A friend later reminded me that Penny was breastfed (wink, wink). By the time the tour ended we were extremely hot. Maui was hot but also humid. We were ready to...

Vaccine Part 1

As a little girl I would look on my mom’s arm and wonder why she had such a weird mark near her shoulder. A few days ago, as the warm solution penetrated my bloodstream, I started to cry remembering my mom’s mark. The nurse asked me if I was okay and I told her I was so incredibly happy. As a diabetic I was stressed never knowing if I was doing enough to avoid it but also, keeping some semblance of life in doing outdoor things. I cried because I am incredibly grateful to the SCIENCE that made this possible in only a year. Less time for me to worry about my only kiddo should the worse happen.  If ur on the fence...I’ve worked in entertainment for over 20 years and I’ve seen first hand how easy celebrities influence the public.  Some do good and others well...I’m happy to have a little bit of the gracious Dolly Parton with me.  Scientists on the other hand, very rarely get the recognition for their years of study, years of research and expertise contributing to (wo)mankind....
