Tissues, tissues and more tissues...

I've been extremely unproductive this week. I'm still feeling terrible so I've been living on the couch, surrounded by tissues, medicine and cough drop wrappings. I've watched more television this week than I have in months and I've barely been online longer than to check my email and check out a few sites. I'm keeping this one short because the couch is calling my name, I just wanted to briefly check in and see how everyone is doing. Hopefully, I'll be on the mend soon, but either way I'll be lurking around is anyone needs me.

I hope your week is going great.

It was inevitable

Hey Y'all:)

Had a long weekend. My husband was sick pretty much all weekend long. He has strep throat and the flu. He hasn't had fever today, so I hope he's on the mend.
Unfortunately, I haven't fared too well. I'm running fever and coughing my head off. What's bad is I've had the flu shot, but it looks like it's either a different type or I'm just unlucky.

I hardly got any reading or writing done this weekend. I doubt that I write or read any tonight either. I hope everyone else is doing good. I'll check in with y'all in a day or two. Time to get back to bed...

Being sick, tons of cooking to do and home for the holiday

I've been fighting the flu for a several days now. I am feeling a little better today, and I hope that I'm on the mend because of the amount of cooking I have to do in a couple of days.
We're going to Little Rock for Thanksgiving. We celebrate it with my mother and stepfather's family. It's always hectic, but in the end we have a good time. We'll be doing the Black Friday shopping early Friday morning and coming home Saturday morning. I'm already tired just thinking about it!
I haven't written any this week. Don't know if I'll get anything done tonight either. I'm still pretty excited about getting it done. I'm over halfway there, so hopefully it'll be done by next week.
I have had some good reviews on both A Realistic Romance and The Sweet One this week! Elisa read and reviewed A Realistic Romance and liked it (Yay) and Lily, Eyre, Ivan and others have read The Sweet One and liked it. I'm very happy about that. The Sweet One really does hold a very special place in my heart and I'm glad it's been liked.
If I don't see anyone before Thanksgiving, I hope everyone has a great one!
Take Care!

The Picture is of My Beloved Niece, Snow White, at the Pumpkin Patch last year. The pumpkin is bigger than she is!

Spring Forward

Can you believe it's already time to spring our clocks forward? I don't know about y'all, but I've been ready for Spring for months! I've missed the colorful flowers and lush green leaves on the trees. I'm ready to break out some of my cute sandals and put away my clunky winter shoes! Woo Hoo!

It's been a busy week this week. My mother, Ashley and Snow White came over and spent a couple of days with us. It's amazing how fast my niece is growing! It was great having some quality time with them and as usual, time flies when we're all together. Lucky for us we'll be seeing them this coming Friday. We're all meeting at my Grandmother's house and spending the day with her. That will be a fun filled day for sure!

Unfortunately now, my husband Chris is sick. He's running a temperature and has a bad head cold. It must be going around because Ashley said that Snow White is sick, my mother-in-law is sick and I've read that Shayne is sick. I'm keeping my fingers crossed for everyone to have a speedy recovery really soon!




I haven't had any time to write this week. Staring tomorrow (hopefully) I'll be working on my two projects. I'm continuing to work on Angel's Redemption which is Jack and Riley's story and I'm starting a new book tomorrow. I'm planning on submitting at least two Blue Collared themed books to Amber Quill Press within the next couple of months. I've been brainstorming the storyline with my sister and Jack and I think I've got a good handle on what I'm going to write.

Now all I have to do is get it written and submitted. Whew! I'm already tired!



I will have to take time out to read Shawn Lane's newest book, Only in his Dreams, tomorrow. This is the first book in her highly anticipated "Only" series and I can't wait to read it! It's going to be great!

I hope y'all have a great weekend!

Home at Last!

I'm finally feeling better. October was a difficult month for me and my family, but we're doing what we can to pick up the pieces and get through it.
Ash is doing better. She's feeling better. Watching her go through what she has this past month humbles me. She's amazing.
Since Snow White wasn't able to trick or treat on Halloween, Ash dressed Snow White up grabbed a big bag of candy, and went to different houses in her neighborhood and took Snow White on a late trick or treating expedition. Ash provided the homeowner the candy, Snow White got to experience Trick or Treating for the first time and the home owners were dazzled by my charming niece. Ash said it healed her in many ways to see Snow White become so happy.
I thought that was really a great idea.

I've finally made it home. I'm currently parked on the couch. I feel better, but I'm still not well yet. Chris was glad to see me home, even Daisie was happy that her Momma came home. Apparently Daddy doesn't give her as many treats as Momma does, so she's ready for Momma to spoil her rotten again.

I didn't write any this week. UGH! I just felt too miserable, but I plan on writing my heart out next week since I'm feeling better. I'm excited about my book, Got Mistletoe?, to be released next month. Dreamspinner Press hasn't given me a release date yet. When they do, I'll make sure and post it as soon as I can.

I'm hoping that this week will be a good one for everyone. Take care!

I hate Daylight Saving Time

I've decided I hate Daylight Saving Time. I wish we could just stick with one and roll with it. It seems like once we get used to one time, it's time to change it again.
Ashley and my niece are doing somewhat better. I'm afraid I'm getting the flu myself. My throat is killing me and I'm not feeling well.
So as a pick-me-up I decided to post some deliciously sexy eye candy.
No writing today either. Ugh!
Lets hope we all have a good week ahead of us.
