Sundae With Nuts - Joanne Wadsworth
September 21st, 2013
Welcome to another saucy episode of SUNDAE WITH NUTS where I have asked my fellow authors to join me for the day for a bit of fun and a laugh. We are romance writers after all!
Without further ado, I am most pleased to introduce the lovely and talented (and very brave!) Joanne Wadsworth!
I've posted a bit earlier this weekend as I am hosting a lovely New Zealander, so for her, our today is her Sunday!
Sundae with the Nut Joanne Wadsworth1.Favorite knickers: cotton, lace, silk or errr…leather?Whoa, that’s one question I’ve never been asked before. *blushing* I had no idea one could buy leather knickers. Wouldn’t those be like, um, rather sweaty-hot to wear? Yeah, I’m sticking with my nylon.
2.Who is your fantasy male or female? Or both?Chris Hemsworth. Chris Hemsworth. Chris Hemsworth. He’s one gor-ge-ous, hunky Aussie who can swing a weapon the way they were designed to be wielded. Oh boy, now he wears a lot of leather. Which probably means he sweats a lot. Here’s a picture of him, just so we can all drool while reading on. :-)
3.What language, when heard spoken, makes you frisky? (like Jamie Lee Curtis in A Fish called Wanda)There is something absolutely spectacular about the Scottish burr, or the Irish brogue.
4.What vehicle, abode, beach, construction site or other locale did you lose your virginity.Wowza. *double-blushing*
5.Do you believe in love at first sight?Yes, do I ever. I’ll tell you a personal story. At seventeen, I was standing with two friends in a parking lot when one of them said, “Hey, there’s Jason Wadsworth. Have you met him, Joanne?” I was fairly new to town and hadn’t. But when I looked at where she pointed, it was to see three guys walking toward us. My gaze instantly zeroed in on one of them. It was the way he walked, the way his gaze shot straight to mine at the exact same moment. Then he smiled, and his eyes, I swear as blue as the sky, sparkled. He walked straight up to me and held out his hand. My heart near jumped right out of my chest.
We dated, got engaged, vowed to love each other forever (married,) and to this day, his eyes still sparkle every time he walks my way.
Well, okay, I forgot to mention he usually trips over the kids’ toys, picks up the puppy bouncing for attention at his feet, but once he reaches me, he always holds out his hand. It’s sooo cute.
6.If you could play a board game during sex, what would it be?*triple-blushing*
7.Any special “toys” you’d like to give mention to for their outstanding achievements?Holy moly. I swear I’ve never blushed this much in my entire life. Phew, and I’m getting rather hot, and I might say, I’m not wearing leather.
8.I *heart* Peter Cetera. What song immediately swoops you back to your “first days” of falling in love?I don’t have a song, and I really wish I had one.
9.Most romantic or sexiest destination out there.For me, that would be the beach and wandering hand-in-hand with my man along the wet sand. There’s nothing quite like the sun warming your skin while the waves roll in and tickle your toes.
And last but not least.
10.Favorite ice cream flavor.Chocolate cookies and fudge, with chocolate topping that freezes like a hard chocolate shell overtop. Yummy. *smacks lips** * * *So happy to have Miss Joanne on Sundae With Nuts! As a fellow Antipidean, I am always happy to host another writer from Down Under and New Zealand is a magical place. She was too right :-) to set part of her YA series in New Zealand - there is beauty and charm aplenty in the north and south islands and I have found Kiwis to be some of the friendliest people in the world. And her Aussie hottie, Chris Hemsworth - hoowee!
Miss Joanne, I had a chuckle as I've never had so much blushing on the blog before LOL! But at least we are in a generation where we still blush. Can you imagine our children's when there is nothing left unexploited and exposed? (Okay, off my soap box now).
The story of you and your husband is swoon-worthy. I am tres envious! I hooked up with my husband at an ANZAC Day Masquarade Ball in Dublin and we were both pished (as the Irish say). So very...errr..romantic LOL.
Check out Miss Joanne's latest release, Warrior, book two of her Magio-Earth series. To love and protect, across worlds.

Sundae With Nuts - Chandra Ryan
September 15th, 2013
Welcome to another saucy episode of SUNDAE WITH NUTS where I have asked my fellow authors to join me for the day for a bit of fun and a laugh. We are romance writers after all!
Without further ado, I am most pleased to introduce the lovely and talented (and very brave!) Chandra Ryan!
Sundae with the Nut Chandra Ryan1.Favorite knickers: cotton, lace, silk or errr…leather?Silk with a little lace.
2.Who is your fantasy male or female? Or both?Mulder from X-Files. He was the perfect amount of geek and passion. And he’s just plain hot.
3.What language, when heard spoken, makes you frisky? (like Jamie Lee Curtis in A Fish called Wanda)English ;) It may not seem as exotic as other languages, but when you find someone who turns speaking it into an art, it can be devastating.
4.What vehicle, abode, beach, construction site or other locale did you lose your virginity.Losing my virginity was awkward and a little painful. It’s not a great story. Can I tell you about the night I spent in a boutique hotel right off the Champs Elysees in Paris France instead?
5.Do you believe in love at first sight?No. Unless you’re talking about shoes. Then of course I do. I fall in love with a new pair almost every day.
6.If you could play a board game during sex, what would it be?Board game? How could you possibly play a board game blindfolded and with your hands tied? Oh…wait…
7.Any special “toys” you’d like to give mention to for their outstanding achievements?I think whoever came up with tweezer nipple clamps should win a freaking award.
8.I *heart* Peter Cetera. What song immediately swoops you back to your “first days” of falling in love?Insight by Depeche Mode.
9.Most romantic or sexiest destination out there.Home.
And last but now least.
10.Favorite ice cream flavor.Daiquiri Ice. It tastes awesome and I’m the only one in my family who likes it so I never have to share. Cue maniacal laughter!* * * *
A huge thanks to Chandra for joining me today - a very brave woman, indeed! Chandra, I laughed out loud to your numbers #5 and 7. All I can say is: Good answer! :-)
Whenever I have a Nut guest, I always think they would be the kinda gal I would enjoy a cuppa tea or glass of wine with. I very much agree with you on Mulder from the X-files, a series that has rarely been outshown and I do love a bit of geek with my stud. Like I said, intellect arouses me. But my heart went out most to Chandra's answer to #9 - Home. Not a traditional answer, but one that deserves as much consideration and reflection. Because really, I understand this.
Must tell my pop about the Daquiri Ice! He does have an ice cream shop, ya know. Is it alcoholic by chance? LOL And PLEASE tell us more about the hotel in Paris!
Do stop by and give a bit of Nutty love to Chandra!

Sundae With Nuts - D.B. Sieders
September 8th, 2013
Welcome to another saucy episode of SUNDAE WITH NUTS where I have asked my fellow authors to join me for the day for a bit of fun and a laugh. We are romance writers after all!
Without further ado, I am most pleased to introduce the lovely and talented (and very brave!) D.B. Sieders!
Sundae with the Nut D.B. Sieders1.Favorite knickers: cotton, lace, silk or errr…leather?For everyday, you can’t beat cotton, but for those, um, special occasions, you can’t go wrong with going commando :-)
2.Who is your fantasy male or female? Or both?I believe David Gandy’s name has been dropped in this particular hot seat, and with good reason. Aside from that particularly fetching example of masculine beauty, I’ll go with Hugh Jackman (but only with the Woverine chops and husky, mutant superhero voice).
3.What language, when heard spoken, makes you frisky? (like Jamie Lee Curtis in A Fish called Wanda)Now it may not be the most beautiful or sensual language out there, but since my husband is a born and bred Hollander, Dutch definitely does it for me. Whenever I can crank him up so much that he reverts to his native tongue, in the bedroom and out, I get all kinds of giddy :-)
4.What vehicle, abode, beach, construction site or other locale did you lose your virginity?Losing the V card, while memorable, isn’t my best story. My best AND most memorable interlude of the carnal variety was with my Dutchman at a secluded park in the Sunshine State. What can I say? I’m a nature girl!
5.Do you believe in love at first sight?Nope, but attraction can be instantaneous and lead to love.
6.If you could play a board game during sex, what would it be?I haven’t talked him into it yet (hubby, if you’re reading, though, hint hint…), I’d LOVE to try my hand at naughty Scrabble. Like the heroine in my debut release, I just love a man with a big…vocabulary :-)
7.Any special “toys” you’d like to give mention to for their outstanding achievements?I haven’t tried this one myself, but it showed up on my Facebook feed not too long ago and, after I stopped laughing so hard I almost peed my pants, I vowed to work it into one of my books someday. It’s called The Little Rooster and, of course, it’s priced at $69. Here’s the link: http://www.littleroosterstore.com/products/little-roosterIf I owned one of those, I might never leave my house…
8.I *heart* Peter Cetera. What song immediately swoops you back to your “first days” of falling in love?Dave Mathews Band, Ants Marching, 1994 – I always remember my first love whenever I hear that song.
9.Most romantic or sexiest destination out there.Anywhere and everywhere I get to travel with my Dutchman, sans kiddos. Not that I don’t adore my munchkins, but I still love having Daddy all to myself :-)
And last but now least.
10.Favorite ice cream flavor.One scoop of Maggie Moos dark chocolate + one scoop of Maggie Moos udderly cream vanilla – I like contrasts, symbolic and dairy-based.****D.B.- such a pleasure to have you here today! I HAD to check out The Little Rooster. Oh my! Like you said, it may wake you up in a most pleasant way, but then you wouldn't want to really leave the bed (or house), would you?
I love that you have yourself a Dutchman - they are normally tall, gorgeous and quite intellectual. How I can make this sweeping generalization, I have no idea. Been to Amsterdam twice and there is a mix like anywhere else, BUT I did date one once, for a brief period of time (two weeks? is that considered dating? BJ but not sex? LOL). His name was Hein, I think. Doh, I can't remember now!
Good girl, going commando. I haven't done that since 1991. Seriously.
D.B.'s Red Shoes for Lab Blues is definitely on my TBR list. I *geek* an intellectual man, such a turn on!

Sundae With Nuts - Jessi Gage
September 1st, 2013
HAPPY LABOR DAY WEEKEND!
Welcome to another saucy episode of SUNDAE WITH NUTS where I have asked my fellow authors to join me for the day for a bit of fun and a laugh. We are romance writers after all!
Without further ado, I am most pleased to introduce the lovely and talented (and very brave!) Jessi Gage!
Sundae with the Nut Jessi Gage1. Favorite knickers: cotton, lace, silk or errr…leather? Boy briefs. Cotton. Colorful.
2. Who is your fantasy male or female? Or both? John McClain in the Die Hard movies. Yum!
3. What language, when heard spoken, makes you frisky? (like Jamie Lee Curtis in A Fish called Wanda). I cannot resist a Scottish burr. My husband has a coworker with one so thick I can hardly understand him. Whatever he’s saying, he sure is sexy!
4. Do you believe in love at first sight? Yes.
5. If you could play a board game during sex, what would it be? Clue. The movie was so full of innuendo, I get horny just looking at a Clue game board.
6. Any special “toys” you’d like to give mention to for their outstanding achievements? Um, I have a feeling you’re not talking Thomas the Train here, LOL! But seriously, one of my favorite bloggers, Kitt Crescendo has an excellent post on inventive ways to use common household items to spice things up in the bedroom. You can find her post here if you’re curious.
7. I *heart* Peter Cetera. What song immediately swoops you back to your “first days” of falling in love? Anything by CCR or Jimmy Buffet, preferably blaring out of a scratchy juke box.
8. Most romantic or sexiest destination out there. The brain after reading an excellent romance novel.
And last but now least.
9. Favorite ice cream flavor. Vanilla. Doused in caramel. *Drools*
****
Thanks Miss Jessi for being a Nut!
Your most interesting and creative answer was for #8. After reading or when reading, you reckon? Probably both! And Thomas the Train is a perfectly acceptable answer for #6! I used it myself :-) I checked out your mate's post for fun playtime items and I'll never look at Altoids the same again. How easy! And I'm sure I have some clothes pins lying around here somewhere...
And a John McClain fan, huh? Tough as anything with a sarcastic wit to boot - nice!
Check out Miss Jessi Gage's latest release, ROAD RAGE, that has received ONLY 5-star reviews on Amazon. That says it all!

Cover Reveal - A World Apart
August 31st, 2013
The New Cover for A World ApartNow, the cover for the second book in the Love Where You Roam series won't be revealed by Lyrical Press until closer to the release day, but I'm giving you guys a sneak peek! Was so excited, just had to fit this in before my next Nut tomorrow.
Simple. Beautiful. Classy. A world apart. :-) It's not a traditional romance cover, but I like that. But,what do you think?
And they look pretty good side by side, eh?

Welcome to another saucy episode of SUNDAE WITH NUTS where I have asked my fellow authors to join me for the day for a bit of fun and a laugh. We are romance writers after all!
Without further ado, I am most pleased to introduce the lovely and talented (and very brave!) Sara Walter Ellwood!
And today is a bit special as Miss Sara is my first guest to offer a giveaway. Now isn't that awesome! *fireworks*
Sundae with the Nut Sara Walter Ellwood1. Favorite knickers: cotton, lace, silk or errr…leather?I’m really boring. I like cotton.
2. Who is your fantasy male or female? Or both?—What? I can only pick one! Emm... Let’s see... I’d have to say to me two of the best-looking guys out there are Orlando Bloom and Channing Tatum. And I wouldn’t throw Johnny Depp overboard either.
3. What vehicle, abode, beach, construction site or other locale did you lose your virginity.Oh, my! It was a dorm room... LOL
4.Do you believe in love at first sight?I do, but I never experienced it.
5. Most romantic or sexiest destination out there.I’m a beach bum... So, I’d have to say somewhere there’s a beautiful and exotic beach.
6. Who was your first crush or kiss?Well, if you don’t count the time I chased a boy in my class to the back of the bus in first grade... My first real kiss happened during a graduation party. I was drunk and the guy (who was a year younger than me) was drunk and we were playing spin the bottle. Want to know something funny? He recently friended me on Facebook and told me he still remembers that kiss! I’m not sure I should be proud of my puckering skills or offended...LOL!
7. If you become a best-selling author and sell your movie rights, what will be the first thing you do when you hear? Other than contact Cd Brennan and offer to share with her, of course.Emm...Freak out? I honestly have no idea. I just know a lot of screaming and jumping around will be involved.
8. I wanted to be a helicopter pilot and a cowgirl when I grew up (still do). What did you want to grow up to be when you were a little girl?I wanted to be a country singer. However, according to my third grade music teacher, I can’t hold a tune in a bucket. Needless to say, that assessment hasn’t improved with age—or at least I can assume I still can’t sing if the looks from my husband when I start belting out either to the radio or in church are any indication. So... I write about country singers!
And last but now least.
9. Favorite ice cream flavor.Chocolate... Yes, I know I’m boring.
* * * *
Miss Sara, you are anything but boring! You just have to read one of your books to know that!
I laughed and laughed at your #6 answer. I "dated" a boy for 2 days in 6th grade, too. This was established by me wearing his hard baseball hat. Do you remember those? Boys used to wear them back in the 70s to school. I bugged him for ages to go out with me. So I can relate to chasing boys early on in life! And you know why he broke up with me? Because I told another girl, Janeen (the cow), that I wouldn't kiss him (dang, I just wanted to wear the hat, get it?) and she told him -- and guess who was wearing his hat the next day? You guessed it! Ja-booger-butt-neen.
And a country singer Miss Sara? Yeehah! Give us one of your favorites!
Did anyone think Orlando Bloom as an elf was sexy in the Lord of the Rings? Or am I just wierd?
Such a pleasure to have Miss Sara as a Nut. I am already lining up for GAMBLING ON A HEART. Her hero sounds perfect to me - badboy, cowboy and marine all in one? Sweet divine, I'm frisky just thinking about Zack.

Sundae With Nuts - Amy Lee Burgess
August 18th, 2013
Welcome to another saucy episode of SUNDAE WITH NUTS where I have asked my fellow authors to join me for the day for a bit of fun and a laugh. We are romance writers after all!
Without further ado, I am most pleased to introduce the lovely and talented (and very brave!) Amy Lee Burgess!
Sundae with the Nut Amy Lee Burgess1.Favorite knickers: cotton, lace, silk or errr…leather?I like to be comfortable yet still attractive, so I would say cotton, but not granny panties. ;) Of course now, you can’t get that horrible image out of your mind, can you? Oops.
2.Who is your fantasy male or female? Or both?Nobody who knows me and reads this will be surprised in the slightest when I admit that my fantasy male is Stuart Townsend. But here’s the twist – I’ve written my lead male character, Liam Murphy in my Wolf Within series with Stuart in mind. And who my fantasy male really is? Stuart Townsend as Liam Murphy. (Does this make me sound like a psycho? Probably. A psycho in granny panties. There’s an image for you!)
3.What language, when heard spoken, makes you frisky? (like Jamie Lee Curtis in A Fish called Wanda) Irish accents and guys who speak Irish. Yum.
4.What vehicle, abode, beach, construction site or other locale did you lose your virginity. Don’t laugh. My boyfriend’s apartment floor. He had no blinds and he liked the lights on so we had an audience I found out later. I never really forgave him for that. He said if we did it on the floor instead of the pull out sofa bed (it was a studio), no one could see into the windows. See how gullible I was at twenty? (Oh, and I was wearing silk leopard skin patterned panties – hip huggers NOT granny style.)
5.Do you believe in love at first sight? Lust, yes. Love, no. I kinda think you need some conversation first.
6.If you could play a board game during sex, what would it be? Clue. Mr. Green did it in the library with what????
7.Most romantic or sexiest destination out there. Paris. I’ve been there four times now and have yet to kiss someone on the lock bridge. Stuart? Are you there?
8.If you become a best-selling author and sell your movie rights, what will be the first thing you do when you hear? Other than contact Cd Brennan and offer to share with her, of course. Pop open a bottle of incredibly expensive champagne and drink the whole damn bottle. No sharing with anyone. (Well, maybe Stuart Townsend.)
9.I wanted to be a helicopter pilot and a cowgirl when I grew up (still do). What did you want to grow up to be when you were a little girl? Mother of ten girls. Ha! Oh, and a famous actress.
And last but now least.
10. Favorite ice cream flavor. Coffee.****Miss Amy, it was a great hoot to read your answers! And another Irish lover, I see, both in language and men. I wish I could quote you some Gaelic, but know very little. And the little that I do (did) know I can't remember. It's a hard language! I still have loads of mates there, though, who are happy to translate something for me when I need it. Did you know that Stuart Townsend used to be a boxer? That's kinda sexy too, I reckon! But why would you want to smash up that gare-juss face? Glad he changed to acting. I have to admit, kissing Mr. Townsend in Paris on the lock bridge sounds incredibly dreamy.
I really had a laugh at your answer for #9, not because she wanted to be an actress, which is a noble pursuit, but because she wanted to be a mother of ten girls!
Amy Lee Burgess is an extremely talented storyteller. Her lastest book, ACROSS THE LINE, from her Wolf Within series will be released first week of September, so get your booty over to any of her sites to make sure you don't miss it. Her Blog Facebook Goodreads or over on Twitter @amyleeburgess

Sundae With Nuts - Kyra Jacobs
August 11th, 2013
Welcome to another saucy episode of SUNDAE WITH NUTS where I have asked my fellow authors to join me for the day for a bit of fun and a laugh. We are romance writers after all!
Without further ado, I am most pleased to introduce the lovely and talented (and very brave!) Kyra Jacobs!
Sundae with the Nut Kyra Jacobs1. Favorite knickers: cotton, lace, silk or errr…leather? Hmm…how ‘bout a mix of cotton and lace. Fashionable, yet comfy?
2. Who is your fantasy male or female? Or both? Oh, I have a short running list of fantasy males. Right now, Chris Pine is near the top (did anyone else see that pic Kristan Higgins had of him on Man Wars a few weeks ago wearing specs? I’d be more than happy to give him a free copy of my book just to see that view again…)
3. What language, when heard spoken, makes you frisky? (like Jamie Lee Curtis in A Fish called Wanda) Ah, I’m a total sucker for anything spoken with a British accent. (Sean Connery is still on my list too, by the way, as is Robert Pattinson…)
4. What vehicle, abode, beach, construction site or other locale did you lose your virginity? Wow, I’d like to say it was on some exotic locale…but Fort Wayne’s never been described like that before.
5. Do you believe in love at first sight? Yep
6. If you could play a board game during sex, what would it be? Gee, I don’t think a board game in the middle of all that would be a good idea. I’m pretty darned competitive--it might ruin the mood. Then again…
7. Who was your first crush or kiss? Jason B. for both. He caught me during kissing tag in the third grade. *sigh*
8. I *heart* Peter Cetera. What song immediately swoops you back to your “first days” of falling in love? Ooo, PC will always have me thinking Chicago, and I love me some Chicago. Wow, these are tough! Oh, those early days… Would it be totally cheesy to say anything Richard Marx? Or Journey? Yep, dating myself a bit here. Early days for my hubby, though, would be “Somebody” by Depeche Mode.
9.Most romantic or sexiest destination out there. Wow, that’s a tough one. I guess it could be anywhere, so long as the kids were at a sitter’s and I had my hubby all to myself in some quiet place away from the chaos of life for a while. Oh, and it’s got to be bug-free. Nothing kills the mood faster than a rogue spider, especially if it scurries away before it can be “taken care of”.
And last but now least.
10. Favorite ice cream flavor. Atz’s Coffee ice cream.
****
Kyra, it was a pleasure to host you today! When I first got your answers, I was groovin' on #8 because yes, it is possible to be a fan of both Richard Marx and Depeche Mode. I can vouch for that! All developmental years that span high school. I think I started out RM & PC in 9th grade and by the time I graduated was listening to DM, the Cure, Siouxie & the Banshees, Pixies, New Order - all that alternative stuff. You are soooo right about that song "Somebody" by DM, if it wasn't that one for me, it was "Pictures of You" by the Cure. Those were the days when your audio tapes actually started wearing down from use and the music got all warbled. Ha!
And girlfriend, I totally agree with you on #9. I recommend that Australia NOT be the romantic destination for you and your DH. Way too many venomous bloody spiders!
And another one bites the dust for a British accent, spanning Scotland to posh London. Can anyone tag me why? I mean I totally agree, but why? Now, to look up her hottie in #2, my favorite part of the blogging :-)
Kyra's latest release, ARMED WITH STEELE looks hot! I melt for a drool-worthy man in uniform. :-)

Sundae With Nuts - Cd Brennan
August 4th, 2013
Welcome to another saucy episode of SUNDAE WITH NUTS where I have asked my fellow authors to join me for the day for a bit of fun and a laugh. We are romance writers after all!
Today is a bit different in that I am finally going to WALK the WALK. Sure, it was easy for me to sit back and host all the brave ladies who have dared before me, but now it's time for me to step up to the plate.
As part of the Love, Lust and Lipstick Stain's, Summer Lovin' Blog Hop, I have now taken the seat in the captain's chair. Hope you enjoy the ride!
Sundae with the Nut Cd Brennan1.Favorite knickers: cotton, lace, silk or errr…leather?Cotton all the way, although I wouldn’t mind investing in some nice lingerie soon, not necessarily over the top with gadgets and whistles, just something classy and elegant. I did have some in the past at some point, but with all our moves and the kids, what happens to them? At least I’m not wearing granny underwear--yet. But I did get knickers from my mum for Easter this year, which was weird. I am 41 years old. Thank God, she didn’t put them in my Easter basket along with chocolate and died eggs. That would have bordered on Twilight Zone and I would have had to start worrying about my mum.
2.Who is your fantasy male or female? Or both?I really don’t have one, isn’t that sad? But I really appreciate what the ladies are bringing forward for their own Nutty days, because then it gives me a taste of what is out there! Hmmm…maybe at a stretch I could say bugs bunny in a skirt. Then I cover both bases.
3.What language, when heard spoken, makes you frisky? (like Jamie Lee Curtis in A Fish called Wanda)Icelandic. It’s my answer and I’m stickin’ to it. But seriously, I’ve traveled and lived all over the world and have found the sweetest and sexiest words are those spoken from the heart. Did they make me frisky? Depended on what the fella looked like - a Scottish accent, let’s say, on some dribbling, fat ignoramus won’t do it for me. Yet, a Spanish fella I dated briefly tried so hard to find the right words to communicate with me, it was so endearing – he had me at Hola. :-)p.s. Sorry my hubby is reading over my shoulder. I meant to say an Australian accent makes me hot as heck.
4.What vehicle, abode, beach, construction site or other locale did you lose your virginity.I’m going to join the vehicle club with this one. But unlike some of my other Nuts, I can’t even say it was a hot muscle car. I got my cherry popped by a guy named Chip in a brown Chevy van in the middle of winter out at Lake Michigan. We drank Pabst Blue Ribbon and he smoked a joint (I never inhaled, I swear). But he was a mate I had known for years and I had approached him to go through the rite of passage. Why? Because I didn’t want any regrets. May sound strange, but it was my reasoning at the time. His first thought when I asked him: Is she mad? Second thought: F**k yeah!
5.Do you believe in love at first sight?Nope. Attraction, most definitely.
6.If you could play a board game during sex, what would it be?Geesh, I got to get rid of this question. I’d say spin the bottle but that wouldn’t be very interesting with just me and my husband. “Hon, the bottle isn’t pointing at me, spin again. Yeah, that didn’t work. Here, let me try. Well, it’s kinda pointing at me, does that count? Feck it, I’ll just take my shirt off.”
7.Any special “toys” you’d like to give mention to for their outstanding achievements?Not really toys, but definitely amusement, I’d say Thomas the Train for my 21-month old and Spongebob for my 5-year-old. I hate Spongebob and I don’t promote telly for kids, but sometimes it is the only few minutes I get to myself. And that, in my world, is an outstanding achievement. Note: I didn’t say it had to be sex toys. All your heads are in the gutter! LOL
8.I *heart* Peter Cetera. What song immediately swoops you back to your “first days” of falling in love? I think I actually like Peter Cetera more now that I’m older, as I’m trying desperately to attach Glory of Love to an innocent crush, and I just can’t. Do you remember your junior and high school dances? Those are the songs that swoop me back and pull at heartstrings. Junior High was Journey – Open Arms and Highschool - all that I can remember is Stairway to Heaven was always the last song of the night, and when the fast part started, the lights came on and the boys’ hands shifted off the girls asses.
9.Most romantic or sexiest destination out there.Anywhere without the kids. (Sorry boys, love you with my ENTIRE being, but tantrums, poo nappies (diapers), fighting over toys and the incessant requests for Hide-n-seek just don’t do it for me romantically) I’d be happy with a B&B down the road at the moment.
A close second would be the Cinque Terre on the west coast of Italy. When backpacking through Europe in 1995, I stayed in one of the small towns called Vernazza. All the coastal villages are connected by a walking trail along the ocean cliffs called the Via del Amore. Magnificent. I was single at the time, but a few other hostelers and I shared the experience, taking some cheap bottles of wine down to the harbour one night to chat and sing until the wee hours of the morning. Most likely keeping the locals up (blush)
10.Who was your first crush or kiss?First kiss was Eric Nelson. He had a cowlick, but I still felt like I was walking on air afterward. I don’t think I slept for days! First crush? Joel Dykstra. He played the trombone, and I was a trumpet player (don’t ask) – a match made in brass heaven, until he was snatched away by a Flag girl. Bitch. LOL (just kidding of course, I think he is happily married with kids in the greater Chicago area)
11.If you become a best-selling author and sell your movie rights, what will be the first thing you do when you hear? Other than contact Cd Brennan and offer to share with her, of course.Well since I don’t have to share with that lackey Cd Brennan, I’ll have more dosh to go around. And I have many “firsts”. I’d get a second family vehicle -walking is awesome, don’t mind pulling the wagon with the kids, but in the winter it sucks! Then, I’d get a part-time nanny. My older son has special needs and my youngest is going through the terrible twos, and I need a break! After that, I’ve always wanted to be charitable, except we’ve never had the means to be truly generous. If there is any left, pay off any debt (freedom!), splurge on my folks and set up a reunion in Dublin at The Hairy Lemon with all my mates!
12.I wanted to be a helicopter pilot and a cowgirl when I grew up (still do). What did you want to grow up to be when you were a little girl?I do know I never considered being a writer when I was little. Although, I did write a story about two airplanes falling in love when I was in first grade and it won a literary prize (No, it wasn’t the RITA). But that just goes to show you “what is for you won’t pass you by” – one of my favorite lines from Watershed.
And last but now least.
13. Favorite ice cream flavor.Hot fudge Sundae with Nuts, of course. No whip cream or cherry. And I KNOW it’s not a flavor!
****
Okay, that's it! A huge thank you to everyone who has stopped by. Now...let me have it! :-)

Today is a bit different in that I am finally going to WALK the WALK. Sure, it was easy for me to sit back and host all the brave ladies who have dared before me, but now it's time for me to step up to the plate.
As part of the Love, Lust and Lipstick Stain's, Summer Lovin' Blog Hop, I have now taken the seat in the captain's chair. Hope you enjoy the ride!
Sundae with the Nut Cd Brennan1.Favorite knickers: cotton, lace, silk or errr…leather?Cotton all the way, although I wouldn’t mind investing in some nice lingerie soon, not necessarily over the top with gadgets and whistles, just something classy and elegant. I did have some in the past at some point, but with all our moves and the kids, what happens to them? At least I’m not wearing granny underwear--yet. But I did get knickers from my mum for Easter this year, which was weird. I am 41 years old. Thank God, she didn’t put them in my Easter basket along with chocolate and died eggs. That would have bordered on Twilight Zone and I would have had to start worrying about my mum.
2.Who is your fantasy male or female? Or both?I really don’t have one, isn’t that sad? But I really appreciate what the ladies are bringing forward for their own Nutty days, because then it gives me a taste of what is out there! Hmmm…maybe at a stretch I could say bugs bunny in a skirt. Then I cover both bases.
3.What language, when heard spoken, makes you frisky? (like Jamie Lee Curtis in A Fish called Wanda)Icelandic. It’s my answer and I’m stickin’ to it. But seriously, I’ve traveled and lived all over the world and have found the sweetest and sexiest words are those spoken from the heart. Did they make me frisky? Depended on what the fella looked like - a Scottish accent, let’s say, on some dribbling, fat ignoramus won’t do it for me. Yet, a Spanish fella I dated briefly tried so hard to find the right words to communicate with me, it was so endearing – he had me at Hola. :-)p.s. Sorry my hubby is reading over my shoulder. I meant to say an Australian accent makes me hot as heck.
4.What vehicle, abode, beach, construction site or other locale did you lose your virginity.I’m going to join the vehicle club with this one. But unlike some of my other Nuts, I can’t even say it was a hot muscle car. I got my cherry popped by a guy named Chip in a brown Chevy van in the middle of winter out at Lake Michigan. We drank Pabst Blue Ribbon and he smoked a joint (I never inhaled, I swear). But he was a mate I had known for years and I had approached him to go through the rite of passage. Why? Because I didn’t want any regrets. May sound strange, but it was my reasoning at the time. His first thought when I asked him: Is she mad? Second thought: F**k yeah!
5.Do you believe in love at first sight?Nope. Attraction, most definitely.
6.If you could play a board game during sex, what would it be?Geesh, I got to get rid of this question. I’d say spin the bottle but that wouldn’t be very interesting with just me and my husband. “Hon, the bottle isn’t pointing at me, spin again. Yeah, that didn’t work. Here, let me try. Well, it’s kinda pointing at me, does that count? Feck it, I’ll just take my shirt off.”
7.Any special “toys” you’d like to give mention to for their outstanding achievements?Not really toys, but definitely amusement, I’d say Thomas the Train for my 21-month old and Spongebob for my 5-year-old. I hate Spongebob and I don’t promote telly for kids, but sometimes it is the only few minutes I get to myself. And that, in my world, is an outstanding achievement. Note: I didn’t say it had to be sex toys. All your heads are in the gutter! LOL
8.I *heart* Peter Cetera. What song immediately swoops you back to your “first days” of falling in love? I think I actually like Peter Cetera more now that I’m older, as I’m trying desperately to attach Glory of Love to an innocent crush, and I just can’t. Do you remember your junior and high school dances? Those are the songs that swoop me back and pull at heartstrings. Junior High was Journey – Open Arms and Highschool - all that I can remember is Stairway to Heaven was always the last song of the night, and when the fast part started, the lights came on and the boys’ hands shifted off the girls asses.
9.Most romantic or sexiest destination out there.Anywhere without the kids. (Sorry boys, love you with my ENTIRE being, but tantrums, poo nappies (diapers), fighting over toys and the incessant requests for Hide-n-seek just don’t do it for me romantically) I’d be happy with a B&B down the road at the moment.
A close second would be the Cinque Terre on the west coast of Italy. When backpacking through Europe in 1995, I stayed in one of the small towns called Vernazza. All the coastal villages are connected by a walking trail along the ocean cliffs called the Via del Amore. Magnificent. I was single at the time, but a few other hostelers and I shared the experience, taking some cheap bottles of wine down to the harbour one night to chat and sing until the wee hours of the morning. Most likely keeping the locals up (blush)
10.Who was your first crush or kiss?First kiss was Eric Nelson. He had a cowlick, but I still felt like I was walking on air afterward. I don’t think I slept for days! First crush? Joel Dykstra. He played the trombone, and I was a trumpet player (don’t ask) – a match made in brass heaven, until he was snatched away by a Flag girl. Bitch. LOL (just kidding of course, I think he is happily married with kids in the greater Chicago area)
11.If you become a best-selling author and sell your movie rights, what will be the first thing you do when you hear? Other than contact Cd Brennan and offer to share with her, of course.Well since I don’t have to share with that lackey Cd Brennan, I’ll have more dosh to go around. And I have many “firsts”. I’d get a second family vehicle -walking is awesome, don’t mind pulling the wagon with the kids, but in the winter it sucks! Then, I’d get a part-time nanny. My older son has special needs and my youngest is going through the terrible twos, and I need a break! After that, I’ve always wanted to be charitable, except we’ve never had the means to be truly generous. If there is any left, pay off any debt (freedom!), splurge on my folks and set up a reunion in Dublin at The Hairy Lemon with all my mates!
12.I wanted to be a helicopter pilot and a cowgirl when I grew up (still do). What did you want to grow up to be when you were a little girl?I do know I never considered being a writer when I was little. Although, I did write a story about two airplanes falling in love when I was in first grade and it won a literary prize (No, it wasn’t the RITA). But that just goes to show you “what is for you won’t pass you by” – one of my favorite lines from Watershed.
And last but now least.
13. Favorite ice cream flavor.Hot fudge Sundae with Nuts, of course. No whip cream or cherry. And I KNOW it’s not a flavor!
