Happy Friday

Friday, November 6th, 2009

This has been a LONG week. Glacial. Peanut is teething so he’s been really cranky most of the week. Crying lags, early morning wake ups, and wanting mommy to hold him and coddle him all day. And I’m ok with that. I just wish there was more I could do for the poor baby.

I also got notice that I’ll be going back to work in about two weeks. It’s only seasonal, and now that Black Friday is coming up, things do tend to get really busy so I’m hoping my presence will be a big help. I’m only working opening shifts so that I won’t miss more than two hours with my baby. I’ll be at work about two hours before he even wakes up. My grandma is coming to keep an eye on him. The extra money will be great so that I can get him the things he needs. More bowls and sippy cups, a gate to keep him in my living room and away from the entertainment center. Ha ha.

Anyway, enjoy your weekend guys. I know I plan to.

Sunday Funnies

Sunday, April 13th, 2008

I saw this and it just reminded me what life is like for authors sometimes.

We don’t see the world the way others do. For us it’s full of possibilities and characters. Full of color and life. Full of heartache and romance. The world is this strange, multidimensional place that we create and recreate over and over again. But, could we sometimes seem a little bit like Calvin to the people around us? ;)

Sometimes people just don’t get it. Ha ha.

Impressive

Saturday, December 15th, 2007

I’m always stunned when an actor can capture a person’s depth so thoroughly. The little nuances, complications that take a character from two dimensional to well rounded. While doing my blog rounds I came across a blog about Moonlight, over at one of my favorite hangouts, the Midnight Moon Cafe. It’s one of those shows I constantly forget about, but when I watch it, I’m drawn in, each and every time!

The last episode I saw, Fever, nearly did me in. Mick, sick from being in the sunlight all day, desperate to feed. Then suddenly… Beth offers herself. *shivers.* Such a sexy scene, intimate, without being sexual. In that way that secrets are, between two people who want each other but know they can’t be together, who don’t let themselves. The final scene was amazing.

So, suddenly, I wanted to see more. I’d been a while. I was sort of hungry for Mick St. John. Alex O’Loughlin plays him so well. A perfect mixture of vulnerability, hidden beneath cool confidence and forced detachment. But whenever Beth is around… despite how cool he acts, he can’t hide the way his eyes look at her. That need, that desire, that softness. She softens him beautifully and he’s all the more gorgeous for it. Alex plays that so smoothly, it’s all one and the same with Mick’s characters. It never seems out of character for the cool, sexy vampire to suddenly give her that shimmering smile. Like she’s the only thing that matters. That’s ever mattered.

I missed this episode, but this little preview of the major events was just what I needed to get me hooked again. Have a little taste of Moonlight. Look at the final scene here, where Beth goes up the stairs. The look on Mick’s face. Goodness, Alex can do no wrong in my eyes. The man is just gorgeous.

HAPPY WEEKEND EVERYONE!

Disappearing Act

Tuesday, October 16th, 2007

Terribly sorry for my sudden disappearance guys. It’s  been a crazy few days for me.

Started on Friday when I decided to see my grandmother in order to get away from life for a little bit. A sort of vacation, since we don’t hang out very often, she’s wicked cool, and she’s not that far, I thought, this is sort of the best of both worlds. So, after a LONG day at work I got myself together and headed out. Hubby dropped me off and promised to meet me on Sunday after he was done with all his weekend duties.

My time with my grandmother was a blast. She’s crazy and so funny and we just laughed and joked around for two days. I saw some old friends for dinner Saturday night. And my cousin asked me to stay with her Saturday, since we also barely hang out. She made me sing for her for about 3 hours and insisted I perfect a song for American Idol auditions next year. She has deemed herself my manager. :D Crazy woman.

Let’s just say there was some wine involved and lots of laughs. I had a great time.

I came back a bit too late on Sunday and then opened at work yesterday. Needless to say I was shot. Could hardly function. Then I worked a long shift and my legs and feet were killing me. But, trying to be good, I went to the gym.  That only exhausted me further.

These are all the reasons I haven’t been able to post. LOL. A whining list of excuses. ;)

But I’m back. A little sick, but back.

Daily Writing Quote #2 and Sunday Thoughts

Sunday, August 19th, 2007

Today’s Daily Writing Quote, (from here on in known as DWQ) is pretty self-explanatory, but I really like it. I know I’ve come across this situation more than once. And it’s one of the reasons why writing has always been a refuge of sorts. It’s why I think it’s a refuge to many people who do it.

If there’s a book you really want to read but it hasn’t been written yet, then you must write it.  ~Toni Morrison

This is the philosophy I try to base my books on. Not the market, not what’s selling, but the one thing I really wished I’d read and couldn’t find. The one story that burns so strongly inside of me that I know it’ll resonate with other people too.

Tomorrow’s Monday. Crazy, eh? Can’t believe the weekend is over already.  Sometimes it feels like I blink and it’s over. But it’s not so bad. The weekdays always feel more productive anyway. I have a lot going on this week, so forgive me if I get a bit scarce. But I’ll be here with quotes to get you all going. Promise. ;)

I’ve also been looking ahead to the end of the year. I have 2 major goals. One involves my current W.I.P. I want it done (even if only the first draft of it) by the end of the year, although I’d prefer the end of fall. Maybe NaNoWriMo is just the push I need this year to get me where I need to be. I think the adrenaline of 50k in 30 something days really gets the juices flowing. I’d love to be able to actually finish this year too.

I’ve been away from Romance Divas for a while. I realized today I sort of miss it. I might head back over there to check on my girls. Make sure all is well. Truth is, it’s such a source of abundant info, I get so distracted. I can spend hours on there! Before I know it, I’ve lost hours of writing time. *sigh* Darn my A.D.D. but that’s how it is sometimes. Either way, I love that place and it’s high time I head back.

So yea, those are my random thoughts for today, ladies and gents. C-ya in the morrow.
