DEAD EYE:

Happy birthday, my darling boy

May 9, 2018 by Alyssa Day Leave a Comment

My baby boy is 21 today. My firstborn, my oldest, my sweet, sweet boy who has gone from cuddly, curious toddler to serious, science-loving child, to brilliant high school and college student. He cooks for me, he’s my buddy to go see “Action Movies with no Redeeming Social Value,” and he’s the kindest boy I’ve ever known. He loves dogs and lets all of them sleep with him whenever they want. He’s kind to children and polite to his elders. He’s one of the only young men I’ve ever known who still says Yes, Ma’am or No, Sir to his elders. He has a huge heart and one of the finest minds I’ve ever seen.

And today he’s 21. But still, when I look at him, sometimes I

see his tiny baby face, smiling up at me.

Happy birthday, to my darling Connor. You were the best Mother’s Day present any mom ever had. And you still are. I love you bigger than the universe.

So there I was, needing a side table to go with some nifty new chairs I got from Wayfair in my current home renovation project. I ran out to World Market and found cute tables . . . for $200.

I wandered over to Target and found cute tables . . . for $125.

I went to the thrift store and found this ugly but cool pine table for $28. (It was $40 but in a lucky quirk it was ‘buy furniture’ day at the thrift store and it was 30% off.)

Thanks for your patience, y’all

While I deal with this health stuff and the inevitable bout of depression that came along with it. March in Atlantis is finally ready to edit/format and will be released next week.

The Eeyore Psychic Story:

April 18, 2018 by Alyssa Day Leave a Comment

When I was in my 20s, I went to a psychic with a casual friend who was a frequenter of all things mystic. My friend said: This is the best psychic I’ve ever been to! She knows EVERYTHING! You have to talk to her too.

I didn’t want to talk to her, because 1) I didn’t believe in it, and 2) I was broke and the psychic was like $75, which was a fortune to me then. But my friend finally talked me into it (margaritas had something to do with it, as I recall) and here is how it went.

The inescapable dork DNA

ACIMH,* Sunday edition:

Me: Will you please fill up the rice canister? There’s a huge bag of jasmine rice on the pantry shelf.

College Ninja: *gets giant bag* How do I open this?

Me: Scissors

Navy Guy: *makes doubtful noise, starts toward kitchen*

Me: Judd. Your son is almost 21 years old. He can figure out how to open a bag of rice.

Navy Guy: *walking off* Maybe…

Me: Did you hear that, Connor? Now your manhood is on the line.

CN: I SHALL PREVAIL. Also, you two are dorks.

Me: DNA, my son. Look at your future. Also, I GREW YOU IN MY BELLY.

CN: *shakes head and sighs* I wondered when you’d bring THAT up again.

*Actual Conversation In My House

WARNING: CLIFFHANGER AHEAD!!

March 9, 2018 by Alyssa Day Leave a Comment

A LIMITED TIME pre-order sale!! Also, WARNING! CLIFFHANGER ALERT!!

BUY LINKS HERE: http://alyssaday.com/books/february-in-atlantis/overview/

I’ve put February on Atlantis on pre-order sale for $3.99. If you’ve already pre-ordered it, your sale will reflect the reduced price. This is a limited time sale, so get it while you can.

AND: drum roll!! I’ve got a real cliffhanger in this book. The firs cliffhanger I’ve had in more than 10 years. Jake’s book was so intertwined with Lucas’s book that it didn’t make sense to try to wrap them up individually, especially with Lucas coming in only TWO WEEKS!!! So February in Atlantis ends with a GIANT CLIFFHANGER! BEWARE!!
