Freedom is that instant between when someone tells you to do something and when you decide how to respond. -Dr. Jeffrey Borenstein. Monday, February 12, 2007. A few weeks ago, a friend of mine asked me what I thought was exceptional. Tonight I went to Wal-Mart to pick up a few odds and ends that I needed for my room. I get to the cash register only to find that I do not have my credit card and therefore, no way to pay for my items. I start to leave, thoroughly irritated and embarrassed. I see Adam Brown.

Freedom is that instant between when someone tells you to do something and when you decide how to respond. -Dr. Jeffrey Borenstein. Tuesday, October 25, 2005. I used to love fire drills in elementary school. I can still remember the adrenaline that rushed through my veins when I heard the siren, the excitement of seeing that flashing little fire box, and, of course, the excuse of getting out of class to go outside. Now, fast-forward about ten years to present day. Posted by Bobbie Jo @ 11:04 AM.

and to think it all started on roller skates...: My Book is Here, for realz
http://awhit.blogspot.com/2011/12/my-book-is-here-for-realz.html
And to think it all started on roller skates. Friday, December 16, 2011. My Book is Here, for realz. There have been a load of fun moments in this 2 year process of publishing a novel. I've learned a lot along the way, never knowing what to expect next until I got an email or phone call from my publisher or agent. (Actually landing an agent and editor were HUGE moments in and of themselves.). And the best part is that you'll be able to get your very own copy soon! If you haven't ordered your copy yet, yo...

And to think it all started on roller skates. Tuesday, September 20, 2011. Twitter Tuesdays - Michael "Pun King" Northrop. For the folks reading this blog who know me personally and/or spent much time around my dad, you know that we Whitakers aren't afraid of a good pun or a corny joke. You know that with conversation, as well as movies or television, the cheesier the better. And you know that the show Leave It To Beaver was a dead-on foreshadowing of my actual childhood.

And to think it all started on roller skates. Monday, September 19, 2011. Momma Mondays - Pull up! My mother-in-law visited this weekend and not only spoiled her grandson, but also her daughter-in-law. I could really get used to having someone with her energy around, doing our laundry, fixing home cooked meals, and cleaning my kitchen. Also, I got to get a mani/pedi with my good friend Becky because Knox's Grannie stayed home and offered free babysitting! Kimpossible (Grannie) hollered, "Can he do this?
