Happy New Year!
Do you make new year’s resolutions?
I don’t, but I do set goals for myself.
This year, I want to exercise more, read more, write more and procrastinate less. And maybe a nice vacation. *rubs hands in glee*
What are your plans for the year? Any favorite books in 2013 that I should read or any books that you’re looking forward to in 2014?

A Slight Miscalculation…
If you look closely, you’ll see a cat bed under the cats.

Apparently, I underestimated the popularity of the bed. *giggle*
Writing update: I’m writing the final fight scene. Shayla is the only human in a prison full of werewolves, not all of them friendly. Bad guys are...

Merry Christmas!!
I hope everyone has a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
I pulled out the camera, and puppy posed for me. Isn’t he cute?
Dog is having a wonderful winter. He loves the cold and all the snacks he gets.
Me, not so much. When I went to work yesterday, it was so cold outside, my car blew only cold air. I thought it was broken before I realized that when the temperature is -20 degrees (not including wind-chill), that the CAR WILL NOT HEAT!! *brrrrrr*
Gotta love winter.
At least winter gives us some...
