Life On Mars, cats, dogs, and birthday

NOW I know why my cats are always hanging around my computer desk and why I get all those emails from ebay about sold items when I'm not a seller. :) Today's my birthday. Next year will be a really BIG one. Wow! This year flew by. Life is moving so fast. I knew I'd get here someday, but that someday came awfully fast. I was a teenager in the 70's, a really fun time. I don't know that it was more fun than other times in history or if I just thought it was fun because I was a teenager. I think it's some of both as I love to dance and disco was big. The CB radio thing was a lot of fun, too. But I tuned into "Life On Mars" for the first time last night on the recommendation of my friend Mimi. I love time travels although hubby's the cop-show lover in the family. I'm not sure if I liked the show itself, I have to see at least one more episode to decide, but I enjoyed taking a look back at the 70s styles. Boy, did we look silly. At least the men did with their fluffy hair and big, cheesy mustaches. If you were there and old enough to remember, recall how everybody in the younger generation thought long, fluffy hair and afros were cool? That short hair was only for dorks? Isn't it funny how now we look back and think it's just the opposite, that those same guys look STUPID?

Coach - Free book download today only to celebrate TEB's 1st birthday

As I was driving home tonight, I was thinking about my newest story that was just contracted. (Yeah me - I got the good news today.) I realized one important part of it is similar to another one of my stories. That made me wonder how many other authors touch on the same themes more than once, or even a lot? So, I'm asking you if you're an author: do you often touch on the same themes in your books? Now I have a second question: Is it good, bad, or indifferent when we touch on the same themes? DD2 is pointing at the Arby's coupon. Hm...I wonder what she wants? Moreover, she's making me hungry. Sooooooo, after I finish this, I'll take her and then we'll stop at Borders so I can write.
