Let's Break a Record!

Help me break the attendance record at Hauntings Radio this Wednesday, August 27th at 10:00 PM EST! I'll be joining Radio Rod LIVE to discuss all things paranormal and will broadcast from my haunted attic.

Rod will share some of my EVPs and photos from "Haunted Battlefields" and will give you the FIRST LOOK at the new video of my nighttime investigation at Cold Harbor Battlefield. You can watch the interview, join the chat, ask questions, look for ghosts in my house on the infrared cam, whatever you like.

It's going to be lots of fun - don't miss it!

Picking up the Pace.

The first time I typed the title for this post, I accidentally entered "Picking up the Page." It's quite fitting, really, as I'll be doing a lot of that in the coming weeks. My children are about to go off to school - for the first time.

My daughter is turning eight at the end of the month and has decided that homeschooling and club activities alone are not filling her needs for socializing. She wants to give public school a try. As a public school outcast, I was completely miserable for my 12 years in attendance. I poured myself into art classes, foreign languages, and daydreaming I was somewhere else. She and I are very different, though, and I'm hoping this change will be a positive one for her.

My son is three and is showing a fair amount of jealously towards his sister's coming adventure. This prompted my husband and I to look into preschools for him. Luckily, Richmond has lots of GREAT choices, and we decided on one in the heart of downtown. He's enrolled now and will start the same day as my daughter.

Where does that leave me? With five hours of the day free to work! I'm sad that the kids are spreading their wings and venturing out without me, but this newly created productivity bubble will allow me to complete the Plantations project MUCH sooner than I anticipated. That's a relief. I have a couple of other projects lined up that I'm really excited about, too. I'll fill you in on details as soon as I can, but for now I'll just give you a hint: one is for kids!
