Random Thoughts Friday

My day off turned into a busy day of taking others places. A visit to the vet for my Shi tzu. A doctor's appointment for my son. After all that running I need a rest. Glad it's Friday!

What Are You Reading Thursdays

I have been so blessed lately to be given the opportunity to read advanced copies of books for fellow writers. It is a joy to get this honor and get a sneak peak at what is coming from them. This week I had the pleasure to read Carolynn Carey's upcoming Christmas novella The Secret Christmas… Continue reading What Are You Reading Thursdays

Rumor Has It Wednesdays

May 1 marked the 6th birthday/Anniversary for The Wild Rose Press. Be sure to stop by their Facebook page, leave a tweet on Twitter, or one of their blogs to wish them well. Jessica Simpson gave birth the a baby girl. It seems to be the year for girls. Almost everyone I know who is… Continue reading Rumor Has It Wednesdays

Welcome back 80s

Was it only last week that it was freezing? Wind blowing? Storm clouds rolling in? Yes, that sounds like last Monday. But not this Monday. Today we've had gorgeous sunshine and warm temperatures that reach into the high 80s. I think it is great. Others are complaining because the weather has gone from one extreme… Continue reading Welcome back 80s

Sunday Sundaes

Taking a little turn from my normal topic of remembering Sunday afternoons as I grew up I'd like to talk about my  Great-Aunt who will be turning 95 this coming Thursday. She's the longest living sibling in my grandmother's family. When this aunt was born they say she had a veil over her face that the mid-wife… Continue reading Sunday Sundaes

Play Date Saturdays

Some Saturdays are a do nothing day. Or at least not a play date day. Some Saturdays you just stay home, do the necessary tasks for the week like laundry, dusting, vacuuming, putting away items that are not being used, making my son stay off the computer long enough to do a few chores around… Continue reading Play Date Saturdays

Random Thoughts Friday

I knew it was approaching, but it wasn't until Monday that I was like aware how close we were. Not that I wanted it to go longer, but there are things I… Continue reading Random Thoughts Friday

What are You Reading Thursdays

I'm giddy today and can't wait to tell you about it. I got to read another advance copy of one of Juli Alexander's YA novels My Life as the Ugly Stepsister. It was great. I think this one is my favorite now. I'm not sure what was different about it that appealed so much to… Continue reading What are You Reading Thursdays

Rumor Has It Wednesdays

I hear that Juli Alexander is toying with the idea of a sequel to Valentine's Day Sucks. I vote yes! But then I might be biased since I love her books. Ellora's Cave author Cecily French just sold her third book Be My Lover. It is the 2nd book in the Rogue's Gallery series. That's… Continue reading Rumor Has It Wednesdays
