This is so crazy! Not even an hour after I posted that, we received a care package from my mother-in-law containing enough English meat products to feed an army. Come on over for bangers, back bacon and boiling ham!

That Girl From Shallotte It's the most wonderful time of the year for my Sainted Southern Mother because she can make me shop online for her. She's still laid up from her surgery and is tickled to death over comments on stories about her, so please give her some love... I am but the conduit. :)

That Girl From Shallotte Welcome, friends! Thanks so much for stopping by. Now that we're all here, let's go around the room and say a little something about ourselves. I'll start: "My name is Leigh Ann. My horrible fear of frogs drove me from my hometown to Raleigh, where Barney Fife goes to party."

That Girl From Shallotte Dear twinkly-eyed, honey-dripping, Southern senior citizen named John at the store where I've been shopping for years: I know you realize, after all this time, that I'm old enough to have a child of legal age to buy cigarettes. You know that every time you card me, you just tickle me speechless and make my day. I love our relationship. -- xola

That Girl From Shallotte Last night, I dreamed I had a book deal. But when the galleys came from the press, it was a 36-page brochure. I was very pleased with the print job.

Even in my dreams, I geek out over paper stock and binding. Woke up before fulfillment, so I can't comment on that. :)

That Girl From Shallotte I've been working on my portfolio all week, using the living room floor as my workspace.
