I’m at Naughty and Spice discussing something kind of bummerish that happened to me. Come by and tell me what you’d do had it happened to you!
Or check out my post from yesterday :)
So I’m just reading the best book right now. It’s not often I stop and blog about the book I’m reading, and how fabulous it is, but I just have to with this one. I love historicals. It’s probably my favorite genre to read. Well, pretty much every historical genre but Regency. I can’t get into those. Though every once in awhile I can handle one.What I’m reading now is Surrender by Pamela Clare and it is just delicious! I’m telling you. I’m savoring every page of this book like I would every bite of a piece of rich cheesecake. It’s that good. The setting, untypical, almost made me put the book down before it began. I’m only halfway through, but you start to get that unease of what if this book doesn’t measure up the whole way though. Somehow I doubt that’ll happen though. It’s just too darn good.
Anyway, onto other things. Like today I took my daughter to her very first movie!! And you know what?! IT SUCKED!!!!!! I’m not doing it again anytime soon. We saw Ratatoullie or however you spell it. It didn’t engage her at all. She was squirming and talking and had to go potty every 15 minutes. I left about halfway through. Though, I have to say that the movie did very little for me anyway so I didn’t mind leaving. It was dark and more adult friendly than kid friendly I thought. So will wait maybe another half year before we try attempt #2 at the movies. Though her new favorite movie to watch at home is Toy Story 2. She loooooves it. We picked it up at Half Priced books.
And on a last note. I did it. I entered the Brava contest. I vowed to wait until September to send my entry in, just in case something major overhaul inspiration came to me. But then I said no. it It was done, and I kept obsessing over it. To the point I stopped writing and just started re-reading. So I needed to get rid of it. Send that baby off into cyberspace so I can just finish writing the book. I’m about halfway done and have it already plotted out (we know that I’m a caprister).
All right. Off to be productive…or something.
First off, Jamie Alden is over at Naughty and Spice asking the fun little question: Are you a good bitch? Or a bad bitch. (All about writing a bitch or an asshole for a heroine/hero!) Come check it out and comment!
Now onto mwa. So over the weekend I went out with ‘the group’ again. Since we hang out at least once a month, I’ve decided to give them a label. For future reference, ‘the group’ is: my best friend, her hubby, and one or two of his friends. So this weekened we all went and saw The Simpsons, and I have to say that I loved it!!
Though I rarely watch the show anymore, it made me nostalgic for the days when I had. And this movie was different than the show. Refreshing. Honestly, I think they pushed the envelope. So I’m not sure you’d want to bring the little ones. But that’s just me in mommy mode speaking. The next activity planned with ‘the group’ is a Mariners game. I’m so excited! (If you can’t tell, this is Shelli is trying to have a social life).
On a fun note, the Naughty and Spice girls have opened a yahoo group! Come join! We’re always open for chat and fun and complete randomness. We’ll also have the occasional exclusive excerpts and contests! To join send an email to naughtyspiceauthors-subscribe@yahoogroups.com.
So is anyone else entering that Brava contest? I am. I have my entry ready, but I keep staring at it going….hmmm. Hmmmm. Hmmm. You know, over analyzing ever single word. Staring at the paragraphs until my eyes blur. I know I just need to sub it. But I think I’ll wait another week or so. Just in case….well, just in case. You see? This is what I do!
I’m taking the kid to her very first movie this weekend. That rat one, Ratlinguine or something :) What is everyone else up to? Anything fun?
Okay I’m off!!
