Sun, July 26:

Ack! Heartbreak & frustration for Montoya at Indy w/pit road speeding penalty late in race - he was strong in 1st by 5secs - doh! #NASCAR

Mon, July 27:
1) 
Happy Monday! Two weeks until school, the messy job begins: to get everybody back on schedule, esp bedtime & getting up early. It begins...
2) 
Not to mention: school shopping, clothes & 3 lists of supplies, haircuts, doctor/dentist/ortho appts...but, YES - it's worth it!! ;-)

3) Working on Rebel Review: BAD MOTHER by Ayelet Waldman (Michael Chabon's wife).Love her, kindred spirits, fellow "bad" mom:www.rebelhousewife.com/ayelet/

4) 
At Piedmont Park Pool - in the shade, v. nice. Dragged 9yo out - trying 2 get back on schedule, tire him out to sleep before 1am!
5) 
@funkidivagirl - Umbrellas, baby! Late afternoon, farside of the pool is v. nice. Love the pool - great 4 kids, always someone to play with!



Tue, July 28:
1) My bookish heart is split between Amazon online and B&N in real life. I love the physical bookstore and coordinate book group at B&N/GA Tech
2) 
So there you have it, it's a 3-way for me to feed my book habit: B&N environment; Borders coupons; Amazon easy research & purchasing online.


3) 
Confessions of a book ho this morning. I think I'm done! Back to work on
BAD MOTHER review, publish today on www.rebelhousewife.com!

4) Twittered myself out searching interesting T'ers after finishing Rebel Review of BAD MOTHER by Ayelet Waldman - got the work done. Yay!

5) 
Researching best ways to create & distribute ebook - tomorrow's challenge. Suggestions?

6) 
Drop Dead Diva? Filming in Midtown Atl - W Hotel. Just walked the dog by dozens of trucks along 14th & Jupiter. No known celebrity sightings

Wed, July 29:
1) 
@ATLNewsBrew - ebook is downloadable PDF file, book format - can be read onscreen or printed out by end user. Convenient, cheaper.


2) eBook research: best way to make available for download? eBook complete & ready to go, associated w/iPhone app about 2 release: romance app!

3) 
Camp Mommy - Fun Science! Okay, this was fun w/9yo Bill Nye-wanna-be:
Fun Science!
4) 
Of course, I have none of the following left in the house, sacrificed to Science: salt, baking soda, corn starch, vinegar, food coloring...

5) 

Tomorrow's a rough day w/Rebel Grammy - to Cardiologist 6mo after heart attack & strokes. Life is completely different now. Live each day.

Thur, July 30:

Has been A Day. Getting into pjs now - 5:15pm - and having food delivered tonight. I'm done!

Fri, July 31:
1) RT @TMECoopShop: Looking for new savvy mom entrepreneurs to join amazing group of women: The Mom Entrepreneur
[Twitter Note: RT means "Re-Tweet" when you post something on your Twitter that is from someone else, Twitter-quoting.]

2) 
Crime wave in Atlanta, yet I get a ticket for Right on Red last week & harrassed for Kiss Ride today - I was dropping off, not parking!
3) 
And this Kiss Ride harrassment at the office bldg where we no longer have a parking deck (remember collapse?!), so I drive hubby to work.
4) 

Okay, I'm over it. Haven't been been caught "parking" like a couple of teenagers in 20 years. Still, Atlanta cops have better stuff to do.


5) 
Let The Great World Spin by Colum McCann - free book download from Oprah & Random House, avail two days only next week: HURRY! OFFER ENDS TUES, AUG. 4TH!

6) 


Okay: must.stop.Twittering. Close the computer & walk away...

7) 
Picked up hubby 2nite - gdam Midtown Blue ("cop" from this am) was PARKED in the Kiss Ride/"illegal parking" space - not even in the car!
8) 


Guess I wasn't as over it as I thought. I do appreciate police & security ofcrs, job they do. Still, don't have to be [nasty] to law-abiding [so they can park in the "illegal" space!].
9) 
I should probably go into Twitter-silence now and hide my location. Shiny chrome/red Jeep SUV doesn't help. Dammit.
