Some have all the Luck

Demi Moore just got a book deal about her relationship with her mom and how it has affected her life and career. She will get 2 million dollars for this book.

The article stated she will have someone help her write it.

C’mon. I could actually use the 2 million unlike Demi.
My book would be about me and how my mothers death at age 13 affected my life and career.  (and boy did it!)

Demi is having someone help her write this book because she is not a writer.
Someone could help me write my book because I am not a writer.

2 million to Demi doesn’t mean that much.
2 million would allow Peggy to exhale and sleep better.
It wouldn’t make me live a lot different because after taxes I would only have ½ that and honestly after the houses are paid off we’d be done. But that is huge and would make me be able to exhale and have lots less stress.

Remember how when you were a kid or when your kids would whine, “It’s just not fair!” That is how I am feeling.

I also read in same article that she and her hubby Ashton went to see a movie and they bought items at the concession stand and Ashton’s credit card was rejected.
So they GAVE them all the food for free.  

If I went to the movies (and it would be a matinee so it’s cheaper) and our credit card was rejected they probably would have gotten out the HUGE scissors and made a production out of cutting it up into confetti in front of all the people at the concession stand.
We would not have been given free popcorn and candy and sent on our merry way!.
Just sent away!

It’s not fair!      (said in sing song-y whiney kid voice)

I totally agree. How about Stephanie Myers author who has made over $300 million. Wouldn't 100mill be enough and then we could each get a couple of million.
I vote yes.

Mary - oh yea 100 million would take the stress off now wouldn't it? I don't get her books but then I'm not her target audience either.

Tammie - I concur!!
