Flashback Foto Friday

Are you as highly entertained by the title of my post as I was?  No?  Okay, it's just me then.  *giggle*

I always tend to think about my posts as I get ready for work in the morning.  I've known for a while that I wanted to do a Foto Friday post but I've been busy and, until now, it just hasn't happened.  As I thought about it one word came to mind:  Rad.  I thought, this is going to be one rad post.  Followed quickly by the thought:  wow, when was the last time I actually used the word rad in...

The Wednesday Review

If any of you haven't checked out literary agent Janet Reid's April 1st post, please do so without going any further, it's seriously hilarious and stumbling upon it made my day yesterday.  You can find it here.

Moving on to the main reason for this post, my review of Hush, Hush by Becca Fitzpatrick

Goodreads Book Description:For Nora Grey, romance was not part of the plan. She's never been particularly attracted to the boys at her school, no matter how much her best friend, Vee, pushes them at ...

Teaser Tuesday!

I had sooooo many plans for posting last week but, well, I went on vacation Thursday and all plans didn't really happen before then. 

Where to?  We went to Charleston, SC with my family and stayed on the beach.  So great to relax and have a chance to catch up on some reading.  Speaking of - come back tomorrow...or Thursday depending on my motivation...for my review of Hush, Hush.  I quite possibly am the LAST person on earth to finally read this one but I finished it in three days, which for ...

a little Tuesday inspiration...

Look at me, look at me!  Two posts already this week...wow...I'm on a roll.  Hopefully this rebound doesn't mean my writing is suffering...not that I'm superstitious or anything...LOL.

And, yes, in a way, this post is a bit of a cop-out.  There.  I said it.  You were thinking it, right?  You would think with all the writing I've been claiming to be doing lately that I would have shared something on Teaser Tuesday, yes?  Well, I have indeed been doing a lot of writing lately and even more re-wr...

a great big bloggy hug!

I made the comment to a good friend the other day that I feel quite blogger schizophrenic these days.  It seems that when my writing is going well (meaning I'm actually writing, not that I have any idea how it will turn out if you know what I mean...and I'm sure you do) - anyhoo, my blogging tends to suffer, yet when I seem to have writer's block my blogging and commenting flourishes.  Hmmm....guess that would mean I get my writing fix one way or the other...I vow to try to balance it out!  I...

And the Twilight Contest winner is....

I feel like a moment of silence may be needed in honor of using Kim's cool contest graphic for the last time.**insert dramatic pause here**
It's finally here - Kim and I are ready to announce the Twilight/New Moon contest winners. 
How exciting is that?! So very exciting!

But I'll go ahead and admit that judging this contest was no easy task! Actually, it was impossible. Kim and I loved all of the entries so much that we had no other choice than to let someone else do the judging for us (all jud...

Build your own book boyfriend!

Ok party people, I was tagged by Kim to do a "build your own book boyfriend" post. 

This is going to be too much fun...but first, I have to admit, like Kristin, the button was a little naughty for me to post...made me blush a bit, so I'm taking her lead by skipping that part and going straight to the fun.

Here are the rules:

From the Gutter Girls: We all have our favorite book boyfriends and now you have the chance to create one just for yourself and your fantasies! How do you play? Fill out...

Twilight/New Moon Giveaway Winners!!!!

First of all, before I announce the two winners of the Twilight giveaway, (not to be confused with the Twilight contest, whose winners will be announced later this week) I want to thank everyone who participated.
Kim and I had so much fun (way too much fun!) putting together this contest! 
So, without further ado, the GRAND PRIZE WINNER, of the Twilight (randomized) Giveaway is....

What no movie would be complete without......

Eureka!!!!

It happened.  It finally came back to me.  The writing.  Woot, woot!  Cue the music and spastic dancing.

Not sure what spectacular event led to the creativity or pouring out of the words, but here are a few of my hunches:

I recently got a new phone....gaze at it now and practically feel the addiction beginning...

I went with the classic Apple white and I sometimes find myself gazing at it.  So pretty...and yes, it is totally worth the hype.  The funniest part?  I haven't even messed with my...

A CONTEST and GIVEAWAY you can't miss!!

That's right party people!  Kim and I are giving away Twilight stuff in honor of the New Moon DVD release next week--Saturday, March 20, 2010!!!!

So, go ahead, you can admit it! This is way fun! And, while you're at it, you can also admit that we are two of the coolest people on the face of the planet for hosting a Twilight Giveaway & Contest!
 
Because Kim an...
