I'm back!

Heard that MyLot's old crew is back so I decided to come back as well. (plus the idea of getting paid again was a factor)
So what have I been up to?
This fall is my last semester and then I will have my associates degree. I really hope the MyLot member who helped set me up for getting my degree is still here. And my daughter also is taking classes and she will finish the following semester, so we will walk together.
Then in June 2014 I did self-publish a short story (my Facebook author page is on my profile) though it didn't do what I had hoped, and that was to grabbed an agents attention, but that's ok.
Also in June of 2014 I started helping my daughter who opened her own dog grooming shop. I get lots of interesting stories from this job and created a plot for my third novel within a couple months.
Finally my beagle/border collies, Penny and Ciara, are going to be 6 this November and I decided to start training Ciara to dance. (I tried with Penny, but she can't connect the "treat" with the "action" I want her to take)
Anyways I don't know how active I will be here, especially once classes start at the end of August, but I hope to find most of my old friends.

@cynthiann Awww, has lamby been terrorizing the site? I am with you, I prefer the older format, it was easier to use. Here I already noticed that I have some new followers, but it said a couple of names and 5 others..Who are the 5 others? I am going to assume some who have commented on this post.

@PhredWreck Of course, leave it to you to find what I need, Except, how do I find it on my own?

&dpk262006 I will try, but I recently found out the reason our internet stops is because we need a new cable. So between now and 10 days, they are going to bury a new one and so I never know if my internet will stop until then.

@dpk262006 It didn't take long for them to bury the new line, but I have been so busy and still busy that I probably won't write about it for a few days if not weeks

Hey Now!!! Nice to see you here. Its great to see some old friends coming back to MyLot. This was the place to be. It seems you have been up to a lot this last few years being away from MyLot. Well, things will be real good for the rest of 2015.

@Carmelanirel2 You should look for that member. I think MyLot is going to give the other sites a run for their money.

@inertia4 Really? You think this is the year for MyLot? I should try and find the member who convinced me to take college classes, that is if she is still around. I want her to thank her again for her encouragement and information when I first started out.

@changjiangzhibin89 That's okay as long as you are still around. Like I will probably sign in this weekend, but not as active because there are sales this weekend I don't want to miss and school is starting soon, so I will be more busy myself.

@jhechorain Me too, but I better start noticing things, like my number...It seems that some are noticing my increased activity here, but I didn't notice. 
I guess when one is having fun, time and numbers fly by...

Hi topffer I am glad you found me, I am trying to find my old friends through my original page, but I don't like the format. Yes, life has been busy, but like I have told members years ago when I started classes and writing, I won't forget you all.

wow it's great you will be able to walk with your daughter on graduation day. It will take some of the nerves out of it for sure. Sounds like you have been very busy. Where did you publish the books? Amazon (in my humble opinion) seems to be the best way to catch a little fame. I know there are some third party places that cross publish to all E-platforms for novels.

Hi Amber, because my book is a short story, I couldn't use Amazon, so I went with Smashwords where it is available there or on Apple and Barnes and Nobles.
