Twitter Speak

I am trying to learn Twitter. I really really am. But I need a dictionary to help me understand what people are saying. Oh wait, there is a dictionary at webopedia. My favorite is the last one, Fall Whale. I am not sure if all this actually helped me or  has convinced me that I need a teenager to take over my social networking. But I will keep tweeting.

My Top Five

These are the top five authors who have inspired me over the years.

1) Christine Fehaan's Dark Series changed my life forever. She's my all time favorite.
2) J.R. Ward writes action for women and I just love that.
3) Laurann Dohner has impressed me with her Species Series.
4) Molly Harper is one of the funniest authors I have found so far.
5) Lisa Kleypas has great modern and historical romance stories.

There are so many great authors out there. These are only the five that have influenced me the most over the years. I can assure you that some of the best writing can be found with my fellow authors with JK Publishing. I would recommend any of these authors to new readers.

My Very First

I read my very first romance novel when I was fourteen years old.  I had visited my friend's house and picked up her mother's book off the table. It was a Harlequin romance novel. I started reading it and couldn't put it down. I was hooked. After that I would use whatever money I earned to buy more romance novels. My favorites had been historical romance novels. I loved me some Cowboys and Indians. I can't tell you the title of that first romance novel nor can I recall who the characters were. But I remember the feeling I had after reading it. It made me feel like everything would be okay as long as there was love in your heart. That is a belief that I carry with me to this day.

Turtle Crossing 6-13-12

Today as I was on my way to work, I saw a car pulled partly onto the side of the road. I stopped, not sure if someone was needing help. A lady gets out and starts to cross the street. I look around thinking she dropped something there was a dog or cat that needed help. And then I saw it. In the middle of the road was a turtle. The lady stopped her car, went into the middle of the street, to pick up a turtle and take it to the other side of the road. I was laughing about it the whole day. I mean, what if the turtle was thinking, "Hey lady, I was going the other way!"

Fries of Desire 6-19-12

I am trying to stick to my diet and have been cutting back on salty foods. The other day I broke down and got me some fries. Found myself sucking on each fry. I mean I was really sucking on them. Their greasy goodness and salty flavor was delicious and mouthwatering. Afterwards, I thought I might need a cigarette.

Careful what you say.

Seven year olds are not known for using discretion or tact. For example, today was my birthday. The number is not important. At least it shouldn't be. But everywhere that I went with my son, he proceeded to tell anyone and everyone that it was his mom's birthday. That alone would have been fine, but then he gave them my exact age. I will make sure to not give him my weight.

6-11-2012 Sorry Note

I was so worried that I wouldn't have anything else to blog about. But then, I get a call at work today from my son's day camp. He was acting out and running away and just being ... all around bad. They asked me to come and get him. So, like a good mom, I leave work early to go and pick him up. When I get there, the instructors show me a sorry letter my son wrote which said, "I am sory pleas fuk me." He meant to say "forgive" me but he didn't know how to write that. We went home and practiced writing "forgive". KD

My first Blog Entry

My dad always broke the tension when meeting new people by telling a joke. So, in memory of my Dad, I will begin my blogging experience with a joke. "Two astronauts went to a bar on the moon, but they left after a few minutes ? You see, it had no atmosphere !" This joke I got from the website: http://www.drpsychotic.com/jokes/jokes17.html.

So I've published a book. My first one! I am learning so much. One of those things was how easy your Twitter account can be hacked. I never thought it would happen to me. But it did. I will keep you up to date on how things are going. KD Jones

Twitter the new "You've got mail"

It was something else getting those beeping notices for new e-mail messages.  Now, I am totally addicted to the beep alerts for new tweets. I even looked up twitterspeak so that I can be up on the terminology. Those little beeps will wake me up at night and I have to twead immediately. I am still a neweeter, but I hope to become a twitterfly. I am guilty of a drive by tweet and have sent a mistweet regrettably. I can safely say I have never performed a dweet. I keep my politweet to myself. I will never admit to anyone if I am twitterlooing. Until I tweet you next time. You can tweet me @kizziedj
