"A Real Live Author???"

Lately, I think the universe has come to the conclusion that I have too much spare time (and I'm certain it is in NO relation to the fact that I've seen the ENTIRE series of the TV shows 'Criminal Minds,' 'Big Bang Theory,' 'The Guardian,' 'NCIS,' 'Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders: Making the Team,' and 'The Golden Girls' all within the last 2 school years.  Eh.  We make time for what we love!)


I've had a couple of job offers within the last 3 months--one of which I took, then "un"took....don't ask.

Recently, though, I had an epiphany--I ALREADY HAVE FOUR JOBS!!!!!  And none of those include being the mom to an almost-teenage-boy and a seven-year-old-girl-with-the-intelligence-of-a-35-year-old-woman.

I'm tired.

Nonetheless, my latest job ROCKS!!!  It's also a BIG part of why I'm scarce around these here blog-parts.

I'M GONNA BE A REAL LIVE AUTHOR!!!!!  A PUBLISHED AND PAID-TO-WRITE AUTHOR!!!!

Can you believe it???  Texas Tech University Independent School District is paying ME to write for them!

ReAl MoNeY that the IRS will want a share of!  

I am TOTALLY stoked about being able to say:

"Hi.  I'm PrissE.  I'm a paid & published author.  To whom would you like for me to make out this autograph?"


Now.......if I could just get someone to pay me to lose weight...........
