Wacky Wednesday

Housecleaning

This was me over the weekend, sans the hat and red dress. Did you put me to shame and get yours done?

Monday, Cable Provider and Cover Reveal

Happy Monday, everyone. Though, I'm not sure that's not an oxymoron:) Has anyone dealt with their cable provider lately? If so you have my sincere condolences. Ever since we've moved we've had issues. The first being the cable. After several phone calls they finally sent out a technician and yup, the cable hadn't been hooked up in the cave. Last Friday someone was to come out and check out the internet. He called at seven a.m. and said he'd be there in five minutes. Ten minutes later he called again and asked where we were. He'd went to our  old address and told the new owner that he was there to repair the internet and had just talked to his wife. To which the new owner replied. "You didn't talk to my wife." I gave the technician our address which (they obviously had since they set the cable up the first time and came back a second) was five minutes away from where he was at, but he could not come because that address was not on his ticket. After another two hours on the phone, it was finally rescheduled. On one of the many phone calls I made, I asked for the number of  the local office and was told they couldn't give that out but if I wanted to go in person, they could give me the address. Say what? I had to slap the side of my head a couple of times to make sure I'd heard that correctly. But enough grumbling, how was your weekend? Tell me all about it.

Wacky Wednesday or 10,000 Butterfinger Bites Later

OMG, the hh--oops I mean Santa--put miniature Butterfingers in my Christmas Stocking. When they have some age to them, I can hold my own. But when they are fresh, forget it, I have no will power. And they are so small, how can that teensie bite equate into calories? Probably, one teensie bite wouldn't but the number of teensie bites I took....let's just say, I'm going to need to spend a lot more time on the treadmill.
In the world of sinful indulgences, what's your weakness?

25 Roses

25 Roses
Stephanie Faris 

Blurb:
Mia moves from the shadows to the spotlight when her matchmaking plans go awry in this contemporary M!X novel from the author of 30 Days of No Gossip.
Mia is used to feeling overlooked: her perfect older sister gets all the attention at home, and the popular clique at school are basically experts at ignoring her. So when it’s time for the annual Student Council chocolate rose sale, Mia is prepared to feel even worse. Because even though anyone can buy and send roses to their crushes and friends, the same (popular) people always end up with roses while everyone else gets left out.
Except a twist of fate puts Mia in charge of selling the roses this year—and that means things are going to change. With a little creativity, Mia makes sure the kids who usually leave empty-handed suddenly find themselves the object of someone’s affection. But her scheme starts to unravel when she realizes that being a secret matchmaker isn’t easy—and neither is being in the spotlight.   
Bio:Stephanie Faris knew she wanted to be an author from a very young age. In fact, her mother often told her to stop reading so much and go outside and play with the other kids. After graduating from Middle Tennessee State University with a Bachelor of Science in broadcast journalism, she somehow found herself working in information technology. But she never stopped writing.

Stephanie is the author of 30 Days of No Gossip and 25 Roses, both with Aladdin M!x. When she isn’t crafting fiction, she writes for a variety of online websites on the topics of business, technology, and her favorite subject of all—fashion. She lives in Nashville with her husband, a sales executive.
