I was lucky enough to have a couple of stoner friends in a few of my science classes in high school. I say that only because the stoner kids I knew were always very nice, pretty smart, and fun to goof off with in class while still getting good grades. Don't do drugs kids!
Anyhoo, despite having a couple of stoner kids for friends I was a pretty uptight dude back then. There was this one time we were working on a project and a girl came in with a note for something or other. I can't remember how the conversation started but, to be mischievous and obnoxious, one of the friends called loudly when she walked by "hey this guy thinks your cute!". Being the uptight dude I was I needlessly denied the accusation vehemently. I say "needless" because it was obvious he was just messing around and, really, nobody cared.
But the truth is, I did think was cute. And I let that random girl who I thought was cute leave the room, and leave my life forever.
And that is the story of how I didn't meet your mother.
Go forth and fill your libraries with media.
Seriously, thanks to everyone for being so amazing and patient. You are the reason I love Vox.
I was just told that the Amazon Conduit will be fixed by tomorrow. I will post here as soon as I get word that it's back up and running.
I know this has been frustrating and I am sorry there wasn't more I could do to make it less so. I really appreciate your patience though.
Cheers,
Bad news. As many of you have probably noticed, the Amazon Conduit was not fixed in the last week's release. Unfortunately, there was an undetected bug that is preventing the conduit from working.
We are working on this bug fix and hope to have the Conduit back up and running this week.
I will keep you posted.
Thank you for being so patient.

The Amazon Conduit will be working again on October 15, 2009. Thank you to everyone for your patience.
Have a great weekend,
daisy, Team Vox
My first blog was written in April, 2007 without much consistency. And as you can see it has been over a year since I last posted anything. Well, a lot has happened in the last year since that post. The most significant and difficult was the passing of my mother. I have always heard that it is very difficult for a woman when she loses her mother. THAT IS AN UNDERSTATEMENT!
My mother was 16 years old when she married my father (he was 17) and she had 3 children by the time she was 21. She was a stay at home mom and one of the greatest influences in my life. Her love and encouragement through the years has helped in shaping me into the woman that I am today. Since her passing, I have been doing a lot of soul searching, inner reflection, realizing the many ways I am like my mother, both good and bad. Yes, we can learn both from our mothers. But the greatest thing I learned from my mother was her ability to love me for who I was. She encouraged me in my hopes and dreams, prayed for me and knew when it was time to let go and allow me to live on my own, trusting that God would have His watchful eye on me.
I love you mom, you were the best!
In my last Team Vox post, I let you know that we're aware that the Amazon conduit is broken and that we're working to fix it. Many of you want to know when it's going to be fixed and I'm so sorry I haven't gotten back to you about that sooner.
Unfortunately, I don't have an exact date to give you, but rest assured, the Amazon conduit will be fixed in the coming weeks.
In the meantime, I'm about to finish my latest book and I could use a few suggestions as to what to read next, so... if you don't mind, let me know in the comments what's on your nightstand and/or what book you think I absolutely must read next.
Thanks! :)
Here's a story I might have told you before.
Some of you may have noticed that right now you cannot add books from Amazon to your Vox library. Giving people a glimpse into what's on your night stand is important to many of you, so I just wanted to reassure you that we are doing our best to get this bug fixed. I'll keep you posted.
So sorry for the inconvenience.
Hope you have a great weekend!
daisy
