Chit Chat
Posted by Joie Lesin on 06 Oct 2007 | Tagged as: Chit Chat
I’m late and I fear I only have enough brain power for idle chit chat tonight. So beware. No, not of the ghosts I promised to blog about after my post last month.
It’s quarter after ten at night and I’m finally finding time to sit down and add my post. That’s how my life’s been of late. I started a new job and I’m still trying to adjust to it all. I know it’s Saturday and I had the day off but I played catch up today. Cleaning, laundry and decided since Halloween is just around the corner I’d bake some pumpkin spice bars.
My son said it’s not autumn to him until the house is filled with the scent of them baking. It’s a tradition of sorts in our family. I remember the night before his sister was born - he was three - he and I were cuddled in bed. My late husband was down stairs baking and my son said, “All momma’s and little boys are sleeping waiting for baby sisters to come and all daddies are baking pumpkin bars.”
So I baked and I cleaned…I even read a chapter in between switching clothes from the washer to the dryer. BUT I didn’t write. I haven’t written in weeks. I’m just hoping once I’ve become fully acclimated in the new job and have the new schedule down, I can work writing back into my days…or nights when I feel like giving up some sleep.
Before I go I thought I’d share something neat I stumbled across before I logged on for my chit chat session - the trailer for my book, The Passenger, is mentioned at SURF THE NET WITH A VIEW: Paranormal Peaks for Halloween by Cornelia Amiri

Ciao! Joie

Joie,
It sounds like you have a very busy life and some major adjusting to cope with. Be kind to yourself as you go through this transition period.
And thank you for sharing such a lovely fall memory. It’s perfect to go with my Canadian Thanksgiving.’
