"And The Natives Rejoiced"

Good Morning Everybody!

Yay! I got more sleep this time! I'm very grateful that sleep decided that it was all right to come back. I respected it by enjoying the fact that I got more sleep!

Yesterday I was running around so I really didn't get much writing done. I'm hoping to today. What was I doing yesterday? I was getting my hair cut. My mom goes to this guy who has been cutting our hair for years (I mean he's known me from way back--even before I was in high school--he did my hair from my high school senior prom and for my wedding). Very nice man and I like what he does with my hair.

My son got to hang out with my Dad and 2 of his cousins, so he was overjoyed. Then we got home, I did a few things around the house, then we were back out again. Had to return some movies to Blockbuster, then off to get gasoline in my car, and off to the Library! After that, home again to wait for my husband to get back from work--then dinner and I got to relax.

I was overjoyed that they had one of my holds at the Library! Ciara Gold's book Celestial Dragon. Odd thing about that--it's the only Ciara Gold book my Library chain has and at one Barnes and Noble location I couldn't find any of her books. It was strange. She's written several books.

Anyway, I finished the first chapter yesterday. So far it's interesting and I can tell she has an incredible imagination. And I'm wanting to know what's going to happen next.

My son's God-sister has her first day at my high school alma mater today. I'm very excited because she's going to have a teacher I had (both Freshman and Senior years). He's a good friend of mine ever since and his wife is an absolute sweetheart. Since my younger brother opted not to go to there (which is fine and he's in grad school now). I feel like this is my "legacy". K.H. is a sweet girl and I believe in her potential. So, I hope it's a good experience for her. I had fun in high school. Senior year was the best.

Since I'm doing my exercise DVD every other day--and I missed yesterday due to everything--I have to do it today. I also need to stretch my back. It's sore!

Oh have I mentioned that my son has the most beautiful eyes? I just love them. Big brown eyes, with long, dark thick lashes. Of course he could care less for Mama's loving his eyes. LOL He's all boy--and sometimes I'm nervous about that!

I'm very happy for a friend of mine. A guy I graduated high school with just welcomed his first child (a girl) yesterday. I hope his wife is doing all right. She's such a nice person. He was extremely excited about becoming a father and I know that his little girl is going to have him wrapped around her pinky! He claimed about a month ago even before she was born that she already did have him wrapped around his finger.

Men are so cute when they're in love or when they are being all affectionate with their kids. It's just one of those things that makes me think "Awwww, they have a soft side!"

So, what are the "natives rejoicing" about in your life today?

Have A Treat-Filled Thursday!

Spotlight On Author: Loretta Wheeler

Happy Tuesday Everyone, There's a gem of an author I've had the privilege of coming across...I'm talking about my friend, Loretta Wheeler. She's a sweetheart and very talented author. I enjoyed her YA Paranormal novella, The Pan Man immensely. And, she also writes Romance. So without further ado, come into my parlor and meet Loretta Wheeler: Me: In your YA novelette, The Pan Man , you mention Pan's looking for his long lost soul mate. What made you choose Pan out of all the Greek/Roman gods and goddesses? Loretta: I chose the Greek god Pan, because of the connection with the music. I found later on in the story, (my stories take over and write themselves usually) it applied even more than I realized because of the band's name. I won't mention the name of the band in here, because it's part of the surprise ending. Me: You're mostly known for your Romance stories. How would you describe your writing style? Hot, suspenseful, sensual, sw...

It's Worth A Fortune

Happy Tuesday Everyone, Does anyone remember the song If I Had A Million Dollars by Barenaked Ladies ? I can't remember when or how I was first introduced to this song, but it's a fun song. So, how about if you had a million dollars? What would you do with it? Of course there's the responsible things to do with a million dollars--pay off debts, and such like that. Then there's the question of whether or not you give to charities, and how much. But, suppose you answered all those questions and you still had quite a lot left; what would you do with it? Maybe I'd go to Disney World. I've wanted to go, and I've never been able to. Or, perhaps I'd go to Germany and England, and Belgium (three of the countries my ancestors are from). Travel around seeing family and friends I don't see often. There's all kinds of possibilities. So, what about you? What would you do with a million dollars? Have A Tremendous Tuesday!

Spotlight On Author: Christie Craig

Happy Tuesday Everyone, Sorry about the delay in getting Christie Craig's email interview up. Normally I can just copy and paste interviews from my email into my blog, but this time my blog would NOT let me paste the interview! So everything has to be done manually, which takes longer. Anyway, let me introduce you to Christie Craig: I met her through the NWHRWA , which we're both members of. She's a real sweetheart. Funny, fun, and makes you feel comfortable (you don't feel shy or uncomfortable because she has a very hospitable presence about her). She's also very helpful, offers great advice and encouragement (I know this from experience, she's been very encouraging to me). Christie is a multi-published author of both fiction and nonfiction. Her works include things like Divorced, Desperate & Delicious and her up-coming non-fiction (with elements of fiction) work, Wild, Wicked And Wanton: 101 Ways To Love Like You're In A Romance Novel ...due out this ...
