Hola!
Okay, so I’m in the Dominican Republic and I’m blogging. This was not part of my plan, but I never scheduled any posts or re-runs (like I prefer to do while on vacation) before I left. I know, I know. I am a Looney Tune Whackadoodle.
In my defense, it rains every morning here. Or, at least it has for the last three days while we’ve been here. Then the sun comes out and all is right with the world. So I’m inside, in my pajamas, Steve is asleep next to me, and I just finished a book.
I read the Andy Cohen Diaries. I couldn’t put it down. He is hysterical. He also drinks and smokes pot a lot so beware of that. But I was laughing a lot while I read it which I’m sure makes strange people around me think I’m a Looney Tune Whackadoodle, too.
Today we are leaving the resort and going on an excursion! I say that with fake enthusiasm because I really don’t want to do anything unless it involves lying on a lounge chair, eating, and reading.
But it should be fun. We’re getting on a boat and we’re going snorkeling and then we get to swim with sand sharks and sting rays because that’s not dangerous at all, don’t ya know. It doesn’t matter how many times I’m told that these sand sharks don’t bite people and the sting rays don’t have their stingers . . . I’m still going to be scared out of my freaking mind. Hello? SHARKS AND STING RAYS?
We will have to see if I survive.
Are you on pins and needles? Because I am.
In the meantime, I have to say very quickly that I was able to post my Reader’s Theater for Advanced Readers {Holiday Edition} and I even had a giveaway on Facebook . . . but for some dumb reason, I am failing at bundling the Holiday versions {kinder, beginning, advanced} together! It is really chapping my hide because I had no troubles with this when I bundled the Fall editions.
GRRRRR.
I tried a bunch of different things and nothing worked to make the file size small enough.
GRRRRR.
And then I remembered I’m on vacation and that this was stupid, just stupid, and I got over it pretty quickly and gave up. Which means that when I say I tried and I tried, I probably tried two and a half times and then said whatever, let’s go get a snack.
The only way I can reconcile this problem in my head is to discount all three Holiday editions so that they come out to the reduced price of the bundle that does not exist due to I’m in the Dominican Republic and I Don’t Have Time For This!
So. That’s what I’ve done. If you want all three versions of the Holiday plays so that you can differentiate for your readers, they are all discounted right now so that if I do, in fact, get past the technological issues I’m having (and snack eating issues, as well) then you will not have lost any money.
There.
Business is taken care of.
I’m going to start a new book now. Or I might go back to sleep. Or maybe I’ll have a breakfast snack (Pringles count as breakfast, right?).
If you have swam with sand sharks and stink rays, please comment below so I know you’re alive.
Please and thank you.

Teeny, I'm alive! You are going to love it. Take pictures if you can. I swam with sharks and rays in Australia and Thailand, and it was an amazing experience. As far as compressing your file, have you tried the website smallpdf.com? It has worked for me on really large files. Enjoy the rest of your vacay!

I swam with sharks on my honeymoon and I survived. So did my husband. My husband wants to host Shark Week on the Discovery Channel. He knows a lot about sharks. He says you only have to be worried about being eaten by sand sharks if you're teeny tiny. Ummm…maybe you should stay on shore and eat snacks? Have fun!!

I swam with sting rays in the Cayman Islands and I lived! I loved every minute of it. I squealed like a little kid when they swam past me…they are slippery and spongy and very friendly. Have fun!

I swam with sting rays and I'm alive!!! I can't wait to hear all about it (because you will live to eat more snacks and read more books)! Have fun!!!

I've swam with sharks twice, once in the Bahamas in the open water and once in a cage in Hawaii. I probably peed my pants, but people think I'm a bad@&% so I just go with it! Hope you had a great time!

I have never swam with sharks or stingrays but I used to be on a swim team called the Stingrays. Does that count?
