I know, I know, I know. This is shameless, and I feel terrible about it, but it must be done. I am presenting to you, the link to get Free iPods. I know you think it doesn't work, but trust me, it works. Not to mention, if you click MY link, it will help me as well. See, we're all winners right? Anyhow all you have to do, is click here and it will take you to the site, once there, complete one offer, whichever you chose, and bam, you're done. All that's left is the waiting.

Do it, you will not be sorry...here it is again in case you missed it the first time.

I am getting far too accustomed to saying goodbye. I know it is not goodbye goodbye, but it is still a goodbye and it still hurts almost the same. How strange a feeling to get so used to someone's presence, so used to their hand inside yours, so completely used to the sound of their voice ringing actually in your ears, not through a telephone, and then have to say goodbye to it when it really starts to feel Normal, when it really starts to feel tangible. I am taunted and I am teased by time, I can almost hear it laughing at me. It gives me minutes, hours and days with her, just enough to get used to having her next to me, and the moment it starts to feel so perfectly normal and right, time takes her away again.

Sarah Joelle does not like goodbye's, and to be honest, I never have either. I try to make us both feel better by explaining it is only a tiny delay between two "hello's" but fooling myself is much harder than I thought it would be, and it does not numb me to the look on her face when I say goodbye to her at the airport gate. I am getting far too seasoned to the long drive to drop her off at an airport, far too used to the drive home alone after she's boarded the plane...but the sting I feel when I have to walk from the gate to my car parked in the 30 minute parking will never dull. As I said, time is taunting me, and time is teasing me; not only does she have to leave at some point, but up to this point I have had to drive anywhere from an 1.5 hours to 5 hours just to say the goodybe that I hate saying so much. Then, to add insult to injury and pour salt all over the wound, I have to drive that 1.5 or 5 hours back the way I just came from, alone.

Maybe I am being dramatic, maybe I am thinking too much, but I am so tired of saying goodbye. I do know that the hello that comes before it makes it all worth while, but it is times like this that the goodbye really kicks me while I am down. Karma is a funny thing, and I really can not wait to see the rewards we will both see for the sacrafices we are making today.

Well it is officially done...my first ever children's book. My mom has been harping on me forever to attempt to write a children's book so my sister McGraw could illustrate it. The more I got to thinking, the more I thought that maybe mi madre was onto something here; maybe it IS a good idea to write this and maybe the fact that my little sister was illustrating it WAS an ingenious marketing ploy. I think a brother/sister team in their 20's, writing children's books for the tiny little youth of our country is a great idea, and hopefully someone else will too.

So, I call on everyone, and anyone that reads this page to please write me back if you have ANY contacts whatsoever in the publishing industry. You can email me anytime you want with any information that might make this idea take off. I am 100% serious about this, the writing is done, the illustrations are already in progress, and hell, we even have a title. Please, I implore you, help McGraw and I get our project in motion. Any and All help will be greatly appreciated and will merit you a signed first draft. Believe it.
