I forsee many a beautiful fall and spring day sitting on this dock, soaking up inspiration.
Where I am:
Where I wish I was:
Any Questions?
It’s been one of those weeks. Car died. Washing machine died. Couch broke a few weeks ago (and by ‘broke’, I mean my 11 year old sat on it a little too forcefully and cracked the frame) My part time job was supposed to turn full time in January, but last week we were told they are cutting 40 F/T positions for next year…one of them being mine. So I still have a job with a company I love, but I need F/T work so I’m searching again. Sigh.
I definitely need some alone time on the beach in a hammack.
I took a couple of days off this week. Originally, I had plans to go to Northwest Arkansas for a couple of days to visit my friend Dee. When those plans got changed, I decided to go to Oxford for a few days. But then my copy edits for LOVE SUCKS! came in so I decided to stay home, do laundry and work. My bank account also breathed a huge sigh of relief. I tend to overspend when I’m with my pals in Oxford. They’re all such bad influences! 😀
So I’m diligently working on my copy edits which will be shipped back to NY today. So I’ve taken a bit of a time out….but you know me, I can’t stand the sound of silence with no explanation, so I thought I’d let you know why I’ve been so quiet.
Have a great weekend!
And that is to buy at least 2 copies of Maria Geraci’s latest book: BUNCO BABES GONE WILD
Don’t make me come after you. Cuz trust me, I will cut a bitch.
Now, if you want to take your chances and try to win a copy, I will allow you to buy ONE copy and then head over to Maria’s blog to find out how you can win another copy. But ONLY after you’ve purchased a copy first.
Have you bought BUNCO BABES GONE WILD yet? Why not? It ships tomorrow, so get off your butt and buy yourself a couple of copies…b/c believe me, this story is so good, you’re gonna wanna share it.
Georgia Meyer needs some time to think-and what better place to get her head on straight than Whispering Bay, Florida, in the company of her sister Frida and her sister’s Bunco-playing friends, aka the Bunco Babes? Georgia’s boyfriend-and boss-Spencer Moody made a slight miscalculation in the romance department and gave her a calculator instead of an engagement ring. So she needs some sisterly advice, in between rolling dice and drinking frozen margaritas, as to her next move.
While considering subtracting Spencer from her life, Georgia meets the very handsome Dave Hernandez. Unfortunately when a Bunco night gets a little out of hand, Georgia reveals more of herself to Dave than she intended. Now, as she helps the Babes prepare for a Bunco Black Tie fundraiser, she needs to search her heart-and keep her shirt on-long enough to decide if a love affair with Dave might be a dream come true.

2005I must not have dressed up in 2007. Hmmmm.
Happy Halloween everyone!
Me: How’s your girlfriend.
Himself: Sexy as ever.
Me: You did NOT just say that.
Himself: No matter what she wears, she makes it work.
Me: *speechless*
Y’all have a safe and happy Halloween! And if you’re in Arkansas, feel free to jump in your boat and paddle on over to my place. I live on a hill so I’m pretty dry.
I’ve confessed a few dirty little secrets before:
But I have another secret I must share. But before I do, I need you to promise you won’t judge me. I couldn’t stand it if you judged me…
Okay, here goes…
I used to have a cartoon crush on the Heat Miser…but now, I have a real live version of him to love!
Kevin Miser Gillespie from Top Chef!
Tell me you don’t think they could be the same person? Go on, I dare ya.
Now if you’re familiar with the classic holiday film A YEAR WITHOUT A SANTA CLAUS, you might be wondering why I didn’t have a crush on the wittier brother, Snow Miser. The answer is simple, really…Snow Miser had snotcicles. Seriously, who could crush on a guy with snotcicles?
So in my youth, I had a crush on a poorly animated dude named Heat Miser and as an adult, I’m totally crushing on Kevin G from Top Chef. Sure he can cook…but really, the reason I’m a little bit in love with him is because I know, his secret identity. (he can melt things with a touch…he’s too much!)

WTF? seriously, why didn’t they send Robin home? She’s a hack. And annoying. I was so shocked. I yelled at the tv like it was a Razorback football game and we were having to play both the opposing team and the refs….
The Spawn of Mel.
Don’t let their innocent smiles fool you–evil lies beneath those grins. Oh yes. These two adorable little munchkins are the doers of dastardly deeds.
But I love ’em anyway.
