Recap

Just one more day until WEDDING DURESS hits store shelves (although a reader told me she got a copy on Friday)!

Today, I’m driving DD #1 back to college and then hurrying back to get DD #2 to dance class.

The weekend was nice. The Rockette show was fun with the kids, we played three games of Settlers of Catan, followed the Easter Bunny’s poetic clues to find our baskets, and generally just had a nice, quiet holiday.

How was yours?

Three Things

First, a writing update: 3 chapters written, moving on to chapter 4 this morning.

Second, a book update: WEDDING DURESS comes out on Tuesday (yay!).

Third, if you could rewrite the ending of any movie you’ve seen, what would it be and what would you change?

She and Me…or is it Me and She

Thanks to all the snow days the kids have had in our district this winter, spring break has been bitten into big time.

So, since today is one of only three days my youngest has off this week, we’re heading out for a mom/daughter date! Lunch and a movie (Cinderella).

Tell me about one of your most recent dates (significant other or kid)…

Whatcha Reading?

I’m off to B & N to get in some serious writing time today, but before I head back home I will be buying myself a copy of Harlan Coben’s latest book, THE STRANGER. If I get my word count in for the week early, I might actually be able to read it over the holiday weekend.

What are you reading now? And what’s next on your To Be Read Pile after that?

**Side note for any fellow Coben readers out there, my name appears in the acknowledgements his 2014 book, MISSING YOU. That...

Instant Flashback

For those of you who were around in the 80’s, there are a handful of things that instantly rewind me back to that decade. Here are mine:

1) Leg warmers

2) Banana clips

3) Permed hair

4) cassette tapes

5) Michael Jackson’s Thriller.

What would you add?

Silly Bits

It’s that time of the week!Ready?

1) Dog or cat?

2) Something “simple” that terrifies you?

3) You’re at an Italian restaurant, what do you order?

4) You’re an a Chinese restaurant, what do you order?

5) Do you sing in the car?

Have a great weekend, everyone!

Not A Single Warm And Fuzzy

As I think I’ve probably mentioned here before, I tend to be “late to the party” when it comes to TV shows. I suppose some of that is because I’m not a TV watcher by nature. I watch Survivor (and HGTV while falling off to sleep), but that’s pretty much it.

A year ago, DH and I got a hold of Season 1 of a few past hits–Dexter, Castle, and Breaking Bad. We’ve been slowly working our way through these shows–alternating them as we go. We’ll watch a season of one show, then a season of another, an...

All From The Couch

So here’s the deal. I’m a female who doesn’t like to shop. In fact, saying I “don’t like it” is quite the understatement.

Shopping literally exhausts me. I can go into a store or a mall with all the energy in the world and come out ten minutes later completely wiped out. Happens just about every single time.

The good news is: I don’t spend money on useless stuff.

The bad news is: If you saw me five years ago, I’m probably wearing the same basic stuff.

About eight months ago, I ventured onto t...
