Don't Let This Happen To You

“Writing a novel is a terrible experience, during which the hair often falls out and the teeth decay.”
~ Flannery O'Connor



Don't end up like that guy. Enjoy your weekend and make time for a little rest and relaxation.
Oh, and don't forget to floss!

Have a great weekend!

  6. Bff, take two points away from POSSESSION entry. I forgot to tweet and FB yesterday. (That's what I get for staying in bed all day.) I'm doing it right now, before I forget again. Oh, and that guy?? ARGH. I don't want to be him, but I've had ENOUGH R & R to last me awhile. YIKES!

    You're cool amigo.

  26. Is that why my hair is so much thinner than it was a year ago?

    Have you read any of her novels or short stories. They tend to be violent and rather disturbing but brilliant.

    ReplyDelete
  27. Oh Geez. I'm afraid it's too late for me. My hair is already falling out.

  28. I'm having a great one Shannon...It's a no rules weekend at my house. Sleeping late, wearing pjs all day and eating pizza for all meals. (wink) I hope you are having a good one too.
