7 Line Challenge!

Okay so I was tagged into this 7 line challenge by another writer,  Dawn Husted. The challenge is for me to pick seven lines from page 7 or 77 of one of my novels and post it.
Here is a sneak peek of the first 7 lines of page 77 of my new book that I have just completed and hope to have out in the spring!  Hope you enjoy!

“Yes, you can’t look all smokin’ hot and wear those granny panties that you wear underneath that dress,” she said.

I watched as the salesman immediately shook his head. “Oh no, you definitely have to wear the sexy undies, no granny panties.”

“I don’t wear granny panties,” I said in defense as Donna rolled her eyes at me.

“Fine!”  I handed the salesman my credit card. This surely was an expensive lesson that I was going to be teaching Dailan O’Maley, my only hope was that it didn’t backfire on me!

Just another manic.....Sunday?

Yeah, I know, that's not how the song goes! Let me start out by saying, good morning everyone! Hope all of you are having a wonderful weekend! I'm just sitting here with my cup of coffee trying to motivate myself to brave the cold and go food shopping!  Another thing I'm trying to brave is logging onto the online grading system to check my boys' grades.  Somehow you know it's not going to be good when the mere mention of logging on, causes them to to scatter like cockroaches! Something tells me I'm going to need a 2nd cup of coffee before I do this or maybe something stronger.....but it's too early for that - isn't it??

I hope that everyone enjoys the rest of their weekend!  I'm trying to think of another fun Facebook contest so stay tuned for details!! If you're not on my Facebook Page go to it and give a like so you won't miss out on the fun!!

Let me apologize ahead of time to anyone one who is in a twenty mile radius of my home - Put your headphones in now! I'm going in to check those grades and you just may hear me screaming!

The up side of winter?

Now, I'm not going to say that I prefer winter over any of the other season's - because I don't! But since it's something we all have to deal with, well not all of us, if you are one of the fortunate ones that live in a warm climate all year round.  I'm directing this to the people who must endure the cold, dreary, bang your head against the wall months of January, February and March.  I know what your thinking.....I'm not making a good case for my title.  Well, believe it or not, there are some good things about winter:

• No humidity, which means better hair days
• Coffee always taste better in the winter (oh who am I kidding coffee always taste good no matter what time of year it is) But hot chocolate does!
• Snow covered trees make a beautiful photo op 
• A winter sky at sunrise can take your breath away and not just because it's cold (see photo above)
• If you have a coat fetish like me - you finally get to break all of them out and accessorize with boots, hats scarves and gloves
• You burn more calories walking in the cold (okay, I just made that up, but it sounded good)
• You don't encounter those annoying people that ask "Is it hot enough for you?" on a hundred degree day (but you do encounter those that ask "cold enough for you?" on a 10 degree day)
• you don't have to mow the lawn
• The beach is just as beautiful in the winter as it is in the summer - and a lot less crowded!

Okay, that should be making you feel a little better on this freezing cold day....right?  Yeah, me neither! I'd much rather be here:

It was worth a try! Happy Friday!  

PMS

While going through some old papers last night, I came across a folder full of my old poems. It was fun to read them all over again after all these years.  I had forgotten about a lot of them, so it was like reading them for the very first time. One in particular put a smile on my face. I'm hoping that it puts a smile on your face too. For those of you who suffer from it directly or indirectly (like my husband) this is for you:

PMS

That time of month is drawing near, my family is overcome with fear.

Such a wave of emotions I never knew that I had, one minute happy, the next minute sad.

My clothes are fitting tighter than they normally do, I blame it on the dryer and believe that it's true.

First I long for something salty, then for something sweet.  As I raid the kitchen cabinets, finally admitting my defeat.

It only comes but once a month, so try not to stress. Just buckle up, get ready for another round of PMS.

Sometimes It's Better To Leave a Good Thing Alone!

Happy Monday everyone!  Hope many of you were lucky enough to extend the weekend and have the day off like me! 

So, last week in one of my blog posts I had told all of you I was working on book 3, which would be a continuation of book 2. Well, after watching a bad sequel to a very good first movie, I may have to rethink that plan!  Let me start from the beginning:

I Love Liam Neeson, he is one of my favorite actors.  I will watch any movie that he's in, just because he's in it! So, I really enjoyed the movie Taken, not only because he was in it, but because it was a good action movie. Okay, maybe it was a little far fetched, but what action movie isn't?  So when Taken 2 came out in the movies I was really excited and as hard as tried, I just never made it to the movies before it was out of theaters. So, I waited for weeks for it to come out on DVD and finally the other day it was out!  My husband the movie junkie that he is, bought it for me. So the other night I set the mood - I got in my sweats, made a bowl of popcorn, settled into my favorite corner of the couch and popped the movie in!  All I can say is - that's ninety minutes of my life that I will never get back again!  This was definitely a movie that they should have just left alone without a sequel! 

Then I got to thinking, I absolutely LOVE my second book (hopefully you guys will be able to fall in love with it too in a few months) and sometimes it's better to leave a good thing alone instead of trying to expand on it.  I don't know, I'm still pondering this one!  Maybe, I'll just have to let my readers decide once they are done reading it and see what they think!  Keep watching my blog posts and Facebook Page for news on its release!  While you are waiting, fall in love with my current book The Exception To The Rule.

Some Weekend Fun....

Hope everyone is off to a great weekend and that you all took advantage of my free Kindle download day yesterday! Now, I don't want to disturb you all from your reading, but this morning I took a little break from my usual monotonous Saturday morning routine of cleaning to start a little round robin on my Facebook page.  It started off good but now we are at a stand still so I need you guys to keep it going!  So take a few minutes from your Saturday and check out my Facebook page and add to the fun!!

Who knows, maybe I may use some of this in my new book!  There may also be a free copy of my book for the person with the most creative post!

So, tear yourself away from your cleaning, the TV, my book (only for a second) and put your writing skills to use and see what we come up with!!

Have a great weekend everyone!!
