I’m posting late today because I worked on the first round of edits of MARRYING MALLORY this morning and early afternoon! I added a romantic scene that I like a lot and hope my editor does, too! I deleted some stuff that no longer should be in since I made changes in the story line. I can see now where the revisions requested by my editor is going to make the book better. So it’s been a happy day for me to get the first round off to her.

When Amanda came home this afternoon, she wanted to get a birthday present for a friend in her class. I put meatloaf in the oven and we went to the store. She got a Jonas Brothers CD for her friend’s birthday. On the way home, Amanda mentioned again (I hear this several times a week) how she wants to drive. I do believe people with handicaps should be given the opportunities to do as many things as possible as typical people. I remember when I used to watch Corky in “Life Goes On” played by Chris Burke. a delightful Down syndrome actor. His girlfriend in the show drove and picked Corky up to go places, and she also was born with Down syndrome. But Amanda is not going to be able to drive. Ever. I just don’t see her being capable of doing this, so it’s hard because she wants to drive. I keep telling her how independent she can be without driving a car. Of course, she doesn’t buy it!

I went bike riding this weekend but didn’t enjoy it. Too much traffic on our rural road.

All three of my football teams won. Woohoo! OSU beat Penn State, Univ. of Cincinnati beat Univ. of Connecticut, and the Cincinnati Bengals beat the Baltimore Ravens!
