Dear Faithful Readers,

Why does it take us forever to update this website? We're lazy (You've been working your butt off!). Our shoelaces were untied (Hey! You wear sandals!). The sun was in our eyes (You hardly ever go out. You just sit by this computer all day and work!)

Okay... we don't know. It just happens.

Sad news:

Part of Hazel Street's website is created by a two person team. (JUST TWO! FRACK! HOW DO THEY DO IT?) Uh...
Well, the two of us, say our names are Glenn and Carol, actually have to pay the rent sometimes, so we also have other jobs and a year ago, (Has it been that long?) Glenn decided he also wanted to be the VP of a writers club and go to school for a Masters degree, (Doesn't he work too!) so the two man tean turned into, uh, one. And then the one man team, let's call this man... Carol, decided to start a new business selling dolls on ebay. And then an awful thing happened. Carol's ebay store actually sold dolls! Who knew success was ever possible. I mean, I'm a writer. Isn't that the definition of fluke, flop and other failure words? But wooHOOO! Ebay loves Carol's dolls! Criminiy! She's actually making money?

So this brings us back to why we are updating this site now. Glenn quit school. To be re-assumed later. Carol took a doll break. Tomorrow it's back to ebay! Hopefully sometime in the near future we will be more vigilant with this website, but for now, we're tired. That's what you get when you get successful. You get tired.

We are tired all over the apartment. Our little tiny easily cared for apartment looks like a bomb exploded at the doll factory. REALLY. Dolls and doll parts are everywhere. If a bomb ever goes off in our neighborhood, the maintenance crew will rush in here and think this is the spot. "Look, Al, there's even some legs on the ceiling over there, tch, tch, tch." Saying you are a writer is like saying "I couldn't get a real job." People always suggest things to you like "Do you know that In and Out burger pays 9 dollars an hour?" Or "I have a friend who just started working as a temp at a company and she got picked up right away. Have you thought of doing that?" But telling people you sell dolls... they literally back away and look at you like you are going through something. "Yeah, now she sells dolls. I think she plays with them. I can't imagine she makes any money."

Well... I'm not telling them how much I make anymore. 3,000 dollars for one doll sounds criminal. Instead I say "I make doll porn on ebay." That sounds hip. It sounds like I know what twittering is. It sounds like I have friends on facebook. It sounds cool.

I do pose my sexy dolls very sexy - this is where my photography skills really come in handy. I actually do have fun with dolls, but I work hard. It's just like writing. You work HARD and then you get tired, but I am enjoying being paid. Very fun. If you are curious, you can see me on ebay - look up mylifeinmini, that's my sign on.

We're still thinking about contests, but so far we haven't posted one.

And lastly, Carol Wood, (Alias Hazel) our own little writer won a Golden Pen awards this year from the MomWriters again, 1600 or so international professional writers think Carol is funny and outrageous. We're saying this again because well, the year is almost up! Carol won the first award for Best Comedic Writing and the second award is called the "Howard Stern Award for Most Outrageous Writer." There, I said it. I admitted it here. There website has not been updated, what do you expect, they are MOMS and they are WRITERS! But I really did win the awards, honest.

Bruce Cameron was voted the Best Humor Columnist, by the National Society of Newspaper Columnists' in 2006 and that was after he won the Robert Benchley Award and that's only for his columns, not his books. Opera even has a special section on her site for Bruce quotes from "How to Remodel a Man."
And Faith Foyil won an Erma Bombeck Workshop pick of the month! And Jana authorsMcBurney Lin well, My Half of the Sky is such a good book. I'm disgusted that it didn't take home the Pulitzer. It deserved it. And Carol Wood won two Golden Pen Awards!

And what does all of this mean to Hazel Street?
This makes us talented, funny and award winning!
