Our Fourth Anniversary - I WANT MY CAKE!


It was four years ago today(-ish) on August 22, 2010 -  that I began my blog post, Tales of the Easily Distracted, often with my witty and delightful hubby Vinnie Bartilucci as Team Bartilucci!  We're still enjoying blogging about our favorite movies every couple of weeks, mostly films with suspense and tongue-in-cheek wry comedy.  Most of all, we have been happy to get to know new fellow movie lovers as well as enjoying our longtime friends' awesome blogs  I'm also getting back in the saddle to polishing my novel The Paranoia Club; but hey, one thing at a time!  What the heck, wish me luck anyway, and Vinnie and I hope you'll all enjoy all the swell upcoming movie fun here and with other swell blogger pals!  Now then, let's cut the cake, and watch our favorite movies, old and new, for many more movie delights!

    1. Thanks for your swell blogiverary good wishes, Rich! Since you were charming enough to ask, my novel, THE PARANOIA CLUB, is actually completed, but before I start sending it to literary agents, I'm giving it one more good polish to make darn sure I haven't goofed. Then comes the hard part: getting agents who'll like it and get it published! :-) (I'm polishing another novel, too, but hey, one thing at a time! :-) Here's hoping, and thanks for your support! :-D

  7. Hey, fellow TOTED friends and bloggers, you might have realized I wasn't able to blog about our blog's 4th Anniversary due to some kind of snafu on our blog. We sure are grateful to you guys for helping us out! All of us here at Team Bartilucci truly appreciated you guys explaining the problem and spreading the word. We're truly thankful to have swell friends and fellow bloggers like all of you guys -- you're all chock full of awesome! :-D
