It’s my birthday and I can share if I want to!

I’ve had several inquiries regarding the exact release date for DUO. At this time, all I can say is that you will be able to get DUO for your e-readers in August.  In the meantime, I'd like to share a sample of DUO with all of you.  Just visit the DUO page on my website.

Duo

Happy Friday! It’s June 1st, and I can’t think of a better way to kick off my birthday month other than sharing something special. What might that be? It’s the cover for Duo. Visit the Duo page on my website or Chick Here!

NO NEED TO ADJUST YOUR EYES...I'M REALLY BACK!!!

Hello Again. I know it has been way to long, but I’m back. I’ve struggled the last few months with time management. So, this week I decided to simplify my life. I evaluated what the biggest problem was... the answer...Facebook games. I’ve consumed my free time with a farm, café, mafia, sorority, pets and countless other non-productive games. This left little time for the projects that I actually want to accomplish. So, as I wiped the tears away, I deleted and blocked the games.

I’m sure most of you game junkies out there are having a hard time grasping the concept of a delete and block button. And, I’m sure your wandering what made me take such drastic measures in the first place.  

At the beginning of the year, I listed things I wanted to achieve this year (See previous entries for list). Some I’ve stuck with…eating right, no Pepsi, working out (26 pounds down). Others I’ve neglected…important ones. I wanted to read at least 24 books this year (7 so far). Keeping up with my journal and other writing projects stopped…until now!

An author I admire, Jennifer Echols, has a Public Shame Writing Challenge going on for the month of April. You set your own goal for the month, along with little daily goals.  There is no glitzy award for the winner, but you get your own parade and the satisfaction that you accomplished your own masterpiece…priceless if you ask me. If you enjoy writing, it's not too late to start!!!

Jenn, thank you for being the fuel to my almost nonexistent embers! I truly needed this kick start. My few fans (family) thank you too.

ZUMBA

Okay, so this past week Sonya and I were introduced to something new…Zumba. All right, it’s not really new, but it’s new to me. Let me tell you, I’m addicted after two classes. What is Zumba? … Well, it’s a workout that is more like a Latin party. You are constantly moving for an hour (maybe a little more). Your arms are flailing in the air, booty shaking left to right and your heart pumping out of your chest.

Angie, the instructor, has a very inspirational story, lost a hundred pounds in less than a year. She went from a size 22w to a 10. If that isn’t inspiring, I don’t know what is. Even if I only lose a fraction of what she did, I’ll be at my pre-pregnancy weight. I guess time will only tell. Keep watching for a post with my success story.

Enjoy your weekend everyone!!

Mommy Getaway!!!

Unfortunately, I come to you with no valid excuse as to why it’s been two whole weeks since my last entry. Yes, I said two weeks. For the few of you that grip the edge of your seat anticipating my next entry, I apologize immensely. Life is, well, life is crazy at the moment. The past two weeks have been filled with two sick kiddos, my schedule (mostly sleeping pattern) seems to be out of whack, I’ve felt under the weather, work has been picking up, friends and family have me playing those app games on Facebook ( I curse you Farmville), and the new season of American Idol started. As I said before, I don’t have a valid excuse.

So much for that New Year’s resolution. (The one I really wanted to achieve). I guess I’ll allow one lapse this year. As far as the rest go, I’m doing great. I’ve lost 10 pounds (so far), no Pepsi (kudos to me), and I’m on book five of my reading goal.

Now that the holidays are actually over and life seems to be getting (somewhat) back to normal, I can start planning a “Mommy Getaway” with Sonya. We’re planning a three day trip to NYC the weekend after Mother’s day. A much needed trip to remind us that we are more than Mommies and Wives. Don’t get me wrong, I love both those jobs, but a woman needs to be reminded that there is other things in life besides changing one diaper after another and wiping crayon and markers off the walls. Three days with not one “Give mommy a second.”, “Hold on.”, “Get off the table before you hurt yourself.”, “Quit whining, I can’t understand you.”, “Go ask your father”, “No, you can’t have ice cream for dinner.” and, of course “Because I said so, that’s why”.

We know that when it’s all said and done we will miss our Little Munchkins and we’ll bring them home a little something from FAO Schwarz Toy Store, but the idea of the guys changing diapers and cleaning food off the walls and hardwood floors, while we wine and dine in NYC puts a tiny smile on my face. Only thing left to say is “Three and a half months to go until…NYC Baby!!!”
 
Have a great week everyone!!!
