Hi Blogstreamers,

I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas and New Year and that you all are doing fine. I've been so super busy I haven't had time to blog very much. My poor blog is in great need of a facelift. This red and blue is sooo "Post-Christmas".

I found the neatest thing on the Internet today. It will give you a dollar value on your blog. All you do is type in the URL of your blog and ta dah! These are my results for this blog.

and frankly I was amazed. (Of course it is only virtual money but still...)

I have a bit of good news. My book is out and I will be doing a book signing at the newspaper office on Friday from 9-3 and on Saturday I will do another book signing at the Meadowview Convention Center in Kingsport,TN. Wish me luck. I am donating all the proceeds from the sale of the book to America's Second Harvest Food Bank. This is something that I feel strongly about and it is a way that I can help. Noone should have to go hungry in this day and time but unfortunately there are over 25 million people in this country who can't afford food. That makes me sad.

Anyway, that's my report for the day. Love to all.

LL
