@ Janice – It’s nice to meet you too! And you know, your statement shocked me into a new line of though. Really why should my stream of interesting work stop? I’m probably doing something right to be getting it!

Must think up why I thought it wouldn’t last. A self analysis session is in order.

@ Janice & Melinda – Guess what? Wolverine opened on UAE a day before it’s world premier Sometimes it pays to have the weekend a day earlier here. Hehe.

Before you ask, I didn’t go watch it. Will be going on Saturday. Hugh Jackman – He’s the only one who’s come close to making me swoon after Colin Firth (in BBC’s adaptation of Pride & Prejudice – the “perfect” Mr. Darcy!)

I think it was released here yesterday too. Haven't seen it yet. Not sure when we will, today isn't looking good, but Monday might, while the kidlet is at school.... Melinda’s last blog post..May Book Giveaway - “Tribes” by Seth Godin

What do you mean “when it comes out”. It was released yesterday! You mean to say you haven’t seen it at least five times already!

Get off my blog!

I’m going to see it Friday actually. By the way did you see Hugh Jackman on Jonathan Ross’ show a couple weeks back? He was talking about the nude scenes he did for the film…

@Melinda
Please tell us…
What do you do?
Who do you like working with?
How do you use your special gifts to make your clients’ lives amazing?

There, that’s you done your marketing for today so now you can go and treat yourself to something yummy and a breather! (I’d really like to know, though – I love hearing other people’s elevator speeches. It’s good practice!) By the way, are we meeting here for a party when Wolvie’s film comes out? It’ll be my first cyber party! I’ll put Greek mezedhes recipes on my blog and Marc can find some way to have music playing in the background while we drool in the comments!

@Samar, Nice to meet you. I 'd love to encourage you to dump this thought: "I realise I’ve been extremely lucky till now, but it won’t last. " Why shouldn't it! Focus on your successes. They weren't coincidences. janice’s last blog post..Silence for the Writing Soul

I know you worry too much

I was being critical of myself. At the end of the day I don’t mind criticism as long as it’s done positively which you’ve always done – been positive I mean not the criticism

Please don’t think I was criticising – I just missed your posts and worried. You know what I’m like!

Thanks Janice. It’s funny how things like that fly out of the window, along with any and all common sense when you have work to do and deadlines to meet. Still, lesson learned I suppose.

I’m subscribed to your feed so I should pick up that new post of yours and I’ll be sure to comment with my thoughts.
