Trying to get published, macaroni and cheese and other random thoughts

I took another sick day from work today. I just can't seem to get by this cold. My throat feels like I've been a professional fire-breather for 30 years. Some good news though, I was able to get a lot done today. I turned my book in to seven literary agents, oh, you don't know about my book yet, do you? I started writing a book somewhere between six and seven years ago and finished it in December of 2008. I spent the last year and half procrastinating and was finally able to turn it in today. I'm not expecting much, I'm not sure how good or interesting it is. I'm just hoping that someone will want to pay me enough to put me through college. That's all I'm asking, though fortune and fame would not be too bad either.
Until then, I'm stuck at a warehouse job paying just over minimum wage and with a cold that doesn't appear to be going away anytime soon. But at least I have a job huh? There are a lot of people that can't even say that.
Getting to the Macaroni and Cheese bit, I'm thinking about having that for lunch. I had it for dinner last night, and it's kind of a juvenile meal, but oh well, it tastes good, it's easy to make and it doesn't tell me my book isn't good enough. Ha ha. Thanks Writer's House Literary Agency for the motivation to climb to just above mediocrity, the Thied family motto.
Until then, 'Nuff Said.

  1. I love macaroni and cheese, but only the Kraft kind. I don't like generic brands and I despise the homemade kind. I know, I'm weird like that.
