the perfect job

I've done a lot of thinking about the perfect job. 

I want to be a cow.  

No one would care how wide my hips are/were.  How low certain things hang.  I'd be considered to be contemplating life when I chew with my mouth open.

Not just any old cow who stands around in a feed lot all day and can't move, run or play.  I like the idea of being either a cow on an Amish farm or one of the spokes cows for the dairies.

The advantage of the Amish farms is the lack of ego involved.  Everyone works and does their best. 

The advantage of being a spokes cow is the Fame and Fortune.  But Hollywood does have a way of looking for the flavor of the month.  Remember Elsie the cow for the Borden Dairy?  She had her own commercial series for years (and she had a great necklace and earrings - not to mention the apron).  But now?  She's been replaced with the Cool Cows from California.  They go skiing, go to the beach, and they always look well tended.

I'm addicted to new authors ... DD Scott

I'm a sucker for new authors.  Well, actually, any authors.  I think it takes a tremendous amount of courage to submit your ideas (dreams, ideals, aspiration, blah-blah-blah) to the world at large and let them not only read it but review and comment on it.

Some day, soon I hope, I will be doing the same.  Until my courage and skills have been better honed, I stand by the sidelines cheering for those who have valiantly gone (and go) before me.


My new find?  DD Scott.  She is a novelist from the Midwest who likes cowboys, the finer things in life, Sex in the City, and romance.


I had the chance to read her new novel:  Stompin' on Stetsons.


The upshot is how do you handle your ex (whom you've made successful) while thinking about the hunky guy next door and his ex?  Especially when his ex doesn't really want to be the ex - and when yours wants you to make him and his business successful.  This is the quagmire Jules and Cody find themselves in.



The cast of supporting characters really are, to me, the best part.  The aunt who is a sex therapist who can't keep her views to herself.  The mother and grandmother who want to support their boy and don't want to over-reach good manners.  The friends who know all and want to advise on more.


You can buy her offerings either at Smashwords or Amazon.com.
