New Website Coming Soon

I am sooo excited. I have an honest to goodness web designer designing my new site. It is kewl. No more red (which looked a really nice maroon on MY monitor, but apparently is gag my with a spoon pink on some others) I can't show you guys anything yet, but I hope to have at least a sneak peak up soon.
She even tells me that this will be super easy to update. Weeeeeeee
How excited can I be?

I'm back

Hi guys. Sorry about the long absence. The year of 2010 ended up being a mentally and physically exhausting one.

Okay, I just deleted all the junk that happened to me last year, figuring you really don't need or want to hear about it. Soooooo..... Let's just say that 2011 is going to be a more active year in writing for me. My website is in the process of being updated/redesigned by someone who knows what she's doing, I have stuff I need to do/write and get to my editors. I have lots of ideas simmering in my heads.
Soooo, for those of you that have been hanging on, thank you. I WILL be better in 2011.

My New Favorite Commercial

Sex sells. We all know that. And although I get tired of it sometimes, sometimes it makes me very very happy. Like this time. I'm cheap, I buy a lot of no-name products, but maybe I might consider some pinesol if this mopper comes with each bottle.

I'm in Print!!

I got a nice surprise the other day. A package arrived at my doorstep at like 5:30 at night. It was from a name I recognized, but couldn't place. And then I placed it as one of the women from Loose-Id. I hadn't ordered anything, so I had no idea what it was.
Opened it up, and I found author copies of Love in Thirds. A two author anthology that I am now in with Kori Roberts. It has Redesigning Adele in it. The novella about Adele and her two men, Leo and Max.

As far as I understand you can order it from your local bookstore as well as Barne's and Noble and Amazon. Barnes and Noble is listing just Kori Roberts on their B&N site, so you might have to ask for it by title and/or isbn.

Holidays

Okay once again this has nothing to do with writing. BUT I thought I would entertain those of you who care. This year I am having my BIL, his new girlfriend, his 27 year old daughter and her new boyfriend, my best friend and her two children over. With the hubby that makes 9.
We have a table that comfortably sits 4. Can be made to sit 6. Hubby thinks we don't need a kid table for the children. (um, yeah, right) So, 7 adults at a table that you can squeeze 6. 2 kids in the living room - where we don't have a second table, don't have a coffee table, don't even have a large ottoman.
Tablecloths are burgundy -with a stain in the middle, or light green. I have 6 dark green napkins, 6 ecru napkins, 6 white napkins, 6 flowered napkins. 4 brass/silver napkin rings 4(which I can only find 3) silver star napkin holders.

Our dishes - a set of 8, one of which has broken, so a set of 7. (one of which has a chip underneath - that will be mine)

So, light green tablecloth, flowered and dark green napkins (cause of course the flowered napkins are DARK, and won't go with the white or the ecru)which I will alternate with alternating napkin rings.

Yes, I will somehow get a story out of this situation. I promise.

Happy Halloween

Okay, Halloween is MY holiday. Pretty much always has been. When I moved in with hubby I started to decorate his very tiny (like 4 feet by 4 feet) porch/landing. Then he got a job at a major drug store and his discount was like cost plus 20%, so we got almost everything at half price. . (sometimes I wish he still worked there, just for that) So then I started buying more and more. And our decorations spilled out into the yard. Soon we had lights and cobwebs everwhere, pumpkins, "scary" things, and even a skeleton.
THEN we moved here. And every year it has gotten bigger. A large graveyard with a "cast iron" fence, lights, gravestones, dead bodies, skeletons, ROTTING bodies, a 7-foot grim reaper, a zombie king.
Today is my day.
Tomorrow they all come down.
Maybe come November 2, I will have more time.
Happy Halloween!!!!

My first perfect hero

Hubby was flicking the channels the other day and decided to stop on The Empire Strikes Back. I make no secret of the fact that the original Star Wars trilogy is one of my favorite set of movies.

One of the reasons for this is Han Solo. Han is my first perfect hero. I love Han. I always have. I just saw one of my favorite scenes, when he kisses Leia for the first time. I love Han Solo.
