TGI Friday

Here it is Friday again! Yay, time to start the weekend! I hope y'all had a good work week, and resisted the urge to knock any fellow co-works up side the head lol. ;)

Check this out! I found a site through the DSP author group that lets you use photo's. Cool, huh? And it's legal: notice the link below the picture. And what a picture.

There is just something about this that caught my eye. *Laugh* there has to be a story in there somewhere!

I guess y'all saw I redid my blog again. LOL, yes again. I had a new header made so I switched things up. I'm rather pleased with the result! Maybe we'll call this my 'gray period' lol.

Okay, I'm off to work some more on Shadows in the Night. It's up to 38K, can you believe that???  I'll see you guys tomorrow for Saturday Snark. :)

TGI Friday

Hey guys! Well, we got through another work week, and it's time for the weekend. Yay! I used this picture because the water looks so damn refreshing lol. God knows this heat is getting to all of us. I'm used to this 100+ but jeez, not this early on in summer. *Shudder* I hate to think what August will bring.

As some of y'all know the kiddo's b-day is today. My littlest one is nearly all grown up and ready to start driving on her own. *Sigh* Scares the hell out of me, you know? I don't think I was this stresses about our boy driving. Who knows why lol. Maybe because she's the baby.

*Looks around to see if she heard that*

Okay, whew... all clear! She'd yell if she knew I call her my baby lol. Teenagers. *Eye Roll* I can do those really great now, by the way. Probably from all I've seen the past few years lol.



Anywho, lol. Today I'm guest blogging with Wednesday Briefer L.M. Brown about the Reluctant Romance - Guys and Guys anthology.

Hope y'all stop by and say hi to Zane and Neil from my story Changing His Mind. We plan to do a Halloween antho and my boys are back for that one too! What can I say? I really like these two!

Have a good weekend, guys! Hopefully I won't have to fight one of these teenagers later for a piece of cake. LOL. That could get ugly. :)

Hey guys! Friday's here, yayayya! Another work week nearly over and done; let's get a start on the weekend. It's been really nice down here lately. I hope everyone is enjoying some nice weather where you're at too. *Laugh* I know it's not going to last, escecially down here in the south.

Hey everyone! Hope ya'll had great week. Yay, Friday's here... time for the weekend. :) Here's a little something to start it off right:

TGI Friday

School is officially out—I survived all the end of school insanity—and the kiddo is now on summer break for the next nine weeks. My God, the child will be a senior next year. *shudder* Where the hell did the time go?

So far I haven't heard the famous words 'I'm bored' but they're coming, thrust me. Just give it a couple of weeks! But hey, I'm ready. ;) I got all sorts of things she can do when she starts in about being bored, and none of them she'll like.

Hehehehe.

So yay, the weekend is here! Just let me be the first to say thank God, thank God. And a special weekend, too. Happy Memorial Day weekend, everyone! The weather is supposed to be nice down here, if a little on the warm side. :)

While looking for things to post on Monday for Memorial Day I ran across this picture. It really got to me and I wanted to share this. None of my remaining family is in the Armed Services... now. For those with family involved in the on-going war I wished you a speedy and safe return of your loved one. That message really sums it up, doesn't it?  

   



So lets not end this post on a sad note, okay. Here's a little taste of what I have planned for Monday. Guys, y'all have a great and safe weekend! I know several of you are heading out of town—my own son left this morning for a canoeing trip with some friends. So yes, lol, safety is on my mind! :) Take care.

Hey guys! Sorry I'm so late with TGI Friday today. :(

I'm guest blogging at Full Moon Dreaming today with Julie Hayes! Please stop by and check out my answers to Julie's infamous Rick Reed's questions, lol! They were a lot of fun. :)

Julie is the Editor in Chief with the publisher that will release Nighttime Wishes. I had a blast working with her-enough that we became friends. She is a wonderful person who has been a *huge* help to me.

Just a reminder-Nighttime Wishes will be released May 11th now, but it is up at Smashwords: https://www.smashwords.com/books/view/159029

Okay, so this  post has absolutely nothing to do with writing... but I thought y'all would get a kick out of this.  :)  This is Kitty-Kitty and he's my writing buddy. A day or two ago I was sitting outside on the patio with him. Now, as y'all can see, there are several mature trees close to the house, and bird feeders everywhere.

Yeah, a cat and birds.

It isn't in the picture, but off to the left is a humming bird feeder. I've been putting up several feeders  for years, so we get a pretty good amount of humming birds. This is the first year we've had a cat, though.

Give it a few more weeks and all of mine will look like this picture I Googled, lol. So, Kitty-Kitty spies the little humming bird, and starts this odd cry/whimper thing. Now, he's used to the bigger birds like Red Birds and so on, but this little thing just flipped him out.

Our conversation went like this:

Me: See the birdie, Kitty-Kitty? Ohhhh, birdies! Pretty little birdie.

Kitty-Kitty: Meooooooow (Um, yeah, I've got my eye on it.)

Me: Now, don't go messing with my humming birdies! Or any of the birdies. Okay?

Kitty-Kitty: Meeeeow. (*snort* Yeah, right.)

Me: So, whatcha think of the  little birdie?

Kitty-Kitty: Mmmmmmeow. (Snack time.)


Yes, I talk to the cat, lol. One of the humming birds buzzed Kitty-Kitty and he—brave cat that he is—ended up under my feet! Needless to say when the coast was clear he headed for the backdoor wanting inside. Oh man, I laughed till I cried, lol. I love him dearly, but I think we might have missed named him.

Scaredy cat might have been better, lol.

Hope everyone has a wonderful weekend! This is prom weekend for the kiddo, so Saturday is going to be a busy time. My little girl is going to prom *sniff, sniff.*

TGI Friday

Hey y’all! Welcome to TGI Friday. Another work week is done, and we survived. Or maybe some of you are thinking everyone else at work survived, LOL!!! God knows, I’ve had weeks like that. And speaking of the work place… I thought I’d do something a tad different today.



A buddy on Twitter said today he just got hired, and it was his dream job. That got me to thinking. Yeah, yeah, yeah… now we know where all that smoke is coming from, lol. But seriously, isn’t that what we all want? To work at our dream job; and to get paid to work at our dream job, lol?

My twitter buddy is now a store manager at a men’s shoe store. Another FB buddy said hers would be to own a craft store. She likes to make stuff. Another FB buddy said her dream would be to own a book store, she likes books. Someone else said they would like to be a junior high librarian.

And every author I have spoken to has said the same thing—writing is their dream job... Even when they feel like screaming when their Muse is being coy or flat out gone on vacation! So many said they wish they could quit their ‘day’ job and write full time.

My daughter is in choir, has been since 4^th grade. Next year she graduates, and she is still saying she wants to be a high school music teacher after all these years. The hubby said he’d love to get paid to fish! Okay, that didn’t come as a big shock to me, lol. Kitty-Kitty has his dream job already… keeping me on track. *Wink*

And me? Well, I guess I’m lucky. I’ve had one dream job already. I loved teaching the little guys. Seeing their face’s light up when they finally got a concept that had been troubling them—well, I felt complete. Like I had done something worthwhile. And I’ve been lucky enough, twice now in my life, to have that feeling again with writing. As I’ve said before—when one door closes, another opens.



LOL. I just love that. ;) Make it Coke instead of coffee, and that’s me all the way! Hope everyone has a wonderful weekend!

Hey guys! First off I want to say sorry I've been MIA lately. The hubby's gramps passed away Monday after 97 years of a long and happy life. Things have been crazy for the past few days—making sure the kiddo's had something the wear for the funeral, making sure the hubby had something to wear, lol, calls from his family... and he took off from work, too. Most of ya know when he's home I don't work much—he works crazy hours and that's our 'together' time. So yeah, been wild around here lately, lol.

So the funeral was yesterday, and out-of-state. We left early in the morning and got back really late last night. Kitty-Kitty was not happy with being left here alone all day. It dawned on me last night he's never been left here all day by himself since he showed up last October. When we shut the car off in the garage last night we could hear him crying... from inside the house! And we were still in the car! Did I mention he really was not happy, lol???

Now onto TGIF, lol! Since it's Good Friday, I thought we'd do something a little sweet for today. I have some pics I plan to post Easter Sunday, too. Hope everyone had a good work week, and a good Easter weekend. Now... lol, bring on the boys, lol...
