That was as far as it got until last week when I finally had a chance to take the images off my digital camera and put them on my computer. I even managed to pritn out several copies. Ever since I upgraded to OS Tiger, downloading images from my camera has become a major chore. Seems the old camera and the new system are totally at odds. So I have to reboot my computer in the old OS 9 system to download the images and then reboot the system in the new OS X, well you get the jist of it, right?<\/p>\n<p>Two weeks ago I was thrown for a loop when a dear freind suddenly took ill and died. She left behind a five year old son and her husband. I feel as if a piece of my heart has been torn out. I know that my life will not be affected greatly by her leaving but there is no person who knew me as long and as well as she did. There is a whole that can never be filled. I also grieve for the small family she left behind. Her biggest wish in life was to be a good mother, and she barely had gotten sarted. I wish I lived closer but we have been separated by half the country for 10 years now. I never met her son, and now never will.<\/p>\n<p>Tomorrow brings my first in-store <a href = \"http:\/\/magicalchild.handcraftedpagan.com\/appearances.html\">book signing<\/a>. I got a panicked call from the shop owner today. Seems her shipment of my books never arrived from the wholesaler and won&#8217;t be delivered until mid week some time. Yikes. Luckily I had anticipated something like this and ordered some books to have on hand at the beginning of the month. I hope to do well at the book signing, but with another book signing next weekend and then two weekends afterwards, I may find myself in a bind very shortly, Can&#8217;t sign books with out there being any books to sign!<\/p>\n<p>Oh and on November 17th, my interview with <a href= \"http:\/\/wicked.libsyn.com\/ \">Wicked Podcast<\/a> was uploaded. Lots of people have been looking at my book on line. And on amazon.com my book got a ranking of 76,000 something for a brief glorious moment. I am nervous and looking forward to this Spring when I start giving workshops.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>So much has happened in the last several weeks I am not even sure where to start.
