Remember how psyched I was about Martin Lastrapes and his grand prize at the Paris Book Festival?  Within an hour of hearing his glad tidings of joy, a different writer buddy of mine, Patty Clark, called me to share her good news.  She has been invited to submit humor pieces to the Oceanside News (paper).

I reported this to my mom and my son, Tadhg Kelly, a short while later, saying, "Things always come in threes.  I can't wait to hear more good news from a friend."

Alexis Sun

In less than 24 hours, I had my third piece of good news.  I received an email from long-time BFF, May Sun, who wrote:  

Alexis starred and produced a short film (written by one of the actors), they submitted to Cannes Festival and film was accepted! Quite incredible! Alexis and her 2 fellow actors will attend the festival which is perfectly timed with my visit to Nice with friends.


I am so thrilled for Alexis, whom I have known since before she dove into a pool of cherry jello at age six months at my son, Cristian Kelly's, first birthday party.  She always was a special girl!  Good on ya, Lexi.
You can congratulate her on her FB page:  Alexis Sun.

    1. Don't know yet when Silver Falls will be released. Stay tuned, Cindy. In fact, it will be my next blog post IF I can get His Tadhgness to give me some deets. Mom-- always the last to know.

  3. Good blog new, Marta. Very exciting. By the way, just looked at your "About Me" paragraph. Just thought I'd mention that I'm a fellow chocoholic.

    1. Chocoholics, unite! I just created a Facebook page, "Chocolate". I cannot believe it didn't exist before me. There must be some kind of mix-up, but if you feel the urge, feel free to "like" my Chocolate page.

  4. Another threesome...of chocoholics, that is. I actually managed to eat only a portion of a chocolate bar today. The remaining two pieces are in my purse SCREAMING for me to eat them! ;-)

    1. See my above comment and know that I can hardly ever ignore the loud screams coming from my secret chocolate stash places. The only good news is, sometimes, don't ask me why, I can't remember where I hid my brown stuff.

      60 Minutes did an EXCELLENT exposé on sugar recently. I taped it and have watched it twice so far, trying to get the thinking part of my brain to override the addicted, dopamine-hungry part of my brain. GOOD LUCK to ME.
