It should be! Think of all the candy thrown at parades during the month of July. It's a perfect tribute to candy month. (Oh, and the Nation's birthday, and the Pioneers, and such.) Next July when I go north, I might go to the Sweets candy factory for a tour. Red licorice flavored saltwater taffy? Yes, please.Jennifer Griffithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13073947223053099280noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-325923691206269931.post-44986438922921624502012-01-13T09:19:18.897-08:002012-01-13T09:19:18.897-08:00What a great cheerleader you are.

Of course cheese when you're pregnant is a green light. Anything that sounds good at the moment is what you should eat. As much as you feel like eating. You never know when your morning sickness might come back, so you have to calorie-load while the getting is good. Cheese--it's what's for dinner. Have you tried this? Lately I discovered I don't really need a vehicle for my melted cheese. I just placed the slice on the plate, put it in the microwave, and ate it all melty! Forget the tortilla or bread or corn chips. Melted cheese! Stringy and fantastic!Jennifer Griffithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13073947223053099280noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-325923691206269931.post-88877364258843796222012-01-12T19:48:03.521-08:002012-01-12T19:48:03.521-08:00I'm glad somebody else's child survives of...I'm glad somebody else's child survives off of cheese. We add crackers in occasionally as well. And I just realized that I ate a whole block of cheese myself in 3 days. I'm pregnant, so it doesn't count, right?<br /><br />I also love hearing about people writing books. It's very exciting to me.Kaylee Baldwinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12707226153627779741noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-325923691206269931.post-48921421014362708662012-01-12T09:25:51.034-08:002012-01-12T09:25:51.034-08:00Oh, Lisa.

Your eloquence extends far beyond phone conversations (although I have ZERO evidence of phone eloquence, as you have NOT called me in far too long.) Do you know how many times I quote things you've written on your blog, like when I'm visiting teaching and stuff? No, seriously. <br /><br />And as for Cheese&DumDums, it will make you weigh 24 pounds, with never, ever, ever a hope of escaping the annoying car seat. WHEN will we be moving to booster seats?

I can't tell you how many times I've had to completely chuck whole sections. I keep a "cuts" pile (I've heard others call it the Slag Heap) where good words don't go to die; they go into hibernation. It's too painful to send them into annihilation. Then I can always go back and draw from them in later edits. (I don't often actually grab from that heap, but it's like a security blanket to just know it's there "if.") Good luck rewriting!Jennifer Griffithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13073947223053099280noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-325923691206269931.post-62381813812606981272012-01-12T07:04:24.571-08:002012-01-12T07:04:24.571-08:00Thanks for the motivation to keep writing.

Its good to know that others have to re-write too.

I've wanted to for a while now, and I don't even have a story idea- I just kinda want to start something and see where it goes. If nothing else, it will be an interesting experience, lol!Sherralhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15352548085597901575noreply@blogger.com
