Just when I thought it was safe to go without a box of soft tissues… a nasty virus struck again! :devil_tb:
This one started on Sunday, pretending to be an allergy problem, but I had a feeling… it was more than that, especially after I took my allergy pill and nothing changed! :bigsurprise_ee:
Sigh… this one came from my 9 YO, who has nothing more than a runny nose, but you’d think he was on death’s door the way he whines about blowing his nose. Drama boy. :dry_tb:
Meanwhile, the virus hit me like a truck. I had just gotten over another cold, perhaps three days before this one hit. I was vulnerable, weak, and tempting for the evil virus. :glurps_tb:
So I’ve gone through several boxes of tissues, and my super soft ones are nearly gone (I foresee a trip to the store at lunch time). I took Nyquill last night to sleep and dammit if it didn’t wake me up every hour and a half. I’m more tired than I was yesterday! :confused_ee:
My question to you out there is, what is your favorite home remedy for a nasty head cold that is slowly making its way down to my chest? :help_tb:

Good morning y’all!
I am the Tease of the Week starting the 19th on Wickledly Yours. This was a fun promotion by the owner of Wickledly Yours… read all about me and The Reward, my award winning novel. :smoke_tb:
Thanks to everyone that popped by the Loose Id community chat yesterday. I had fun! I played Janice’s elf name game and got some pretty hilarious results. Tinker Angel Pants? :laugh_tb:
When you go to a fancy steakhouse for a Christmas party and it has green vinyl tablecloths on the tables.
When the cheapest steak is $22 and they only have three cuts.
When the steakhouse has prepackaged crackers on the table – like oyster crackers, saltines, etc. and a small plate with an ice cream scoop size blob of orange cheese.
When the same mildewed mat that was outside the front steps a year ago is still there.
When the sign on the men’s bathroom is a bull.
When the sign on the women’s bathroom is a heifer with two calves. :smirk1_ee:
When there are two stalls in the women’s bathroom, and one of the toilets is broken.
When the stall doors consist of a red curtain that pulls across either one. :bigsurprise_ee:
When the sink in the women’s bathroom is so cracked, it looks like it’s twenty years old, but the paper towel holder is motion sensor activated.
When you ask for hot tea and they rummage around in the kitchen and bring you a bag of “herb tea” and a Celestial Seasonings pack of Peppermint tea because they couldn’t find any other kind. :doh_tb:
When their Christmas decorations include a thirty foot Christmas tree, a three foot green and red felt stocking, and various snowman heads on a bookcase with blue delft plates. :hmm1_ee:
When the toothpicks are handed out as you leave.
I will say that the people I was at the party at matched the décor and most of the jokes involved dicks, balls, or tits. :drunk_tb:
Sigh… at least I got a cute snowman gift, $10, and a good steak.
Much, much to do. Muchisimas! Anyhoo, in between writing, wrapping, cleaning, laundry, etc., I tried to be clever in my blogging today. You’ll let me know if I succeed eh?
First off, tomorrow is the Loose Id Author Bash on the Yahoo loop. It’s going to be a day filled with LI authors and excerpts and goodies and giveaways. I hope y’all drop by to say hey! :bye_tb:
Second, starting Monday, I am the Tease of the Week on Wickledly Yours. Oh, yeah, me! Tease, tease, tease. I’m featuring The Reward so please pop by and check it out. :cool1_tb:
Third (taking a breath to recharge), I am winning the Novelspot poll! I’ve got 12 out of 44 votes - 27%. I’m going up against Maggie and Lena (my co-authors in the Spurs & Mistletoe series), and Diana Gabaldon. How about that! Thank you to any and all that voted for me. It’s wonderful! : :king_tb:
Fourth (told you it was busy), starting December 26, The Reward is the book cover of the month at Erin Aislinn’s website. Woohoo! You can check it out here. You can vote for it January 5-31 - I’ll remind you. :thumbup_tb:
Last (don’t want to continue or I’ll be here all day), I finished my CowboyLovers story The Trouble with Packer. If you’re not a member, join up and you can read this cowboy’s short story featuring Tracey, one of our members! :clap_tb:
Okay, I’ll stop now before you run screaming from your computer. I’ll be back tomorrow. :wink1_tb:
Another quiz, y’all. My brain is too tired to blog today. :sleep_tb:
So… today’s quiz is What Type of Eyes Does Your Soul Have?
Eyes of Innocence - Your soul posesses Eyes of
Innocence. These eyes are often held by young
children and those who have a tendency to look
at the world sunny side up. You are a rather
serious person, though are capable of having
fun. You are most likely highly religious and
take pride in refusing to join the rest of the
world in what you percieve to be evil deeds.
You have a tendency to ignore that which is
dark in the world and only focus upon that
which is beautiful and good. Though most would
consider this a good philosophy to live by,
someday it will get you into trouble. You
believe in giving everyone a hundred chances
over and trust very easily. You’ve been taken
advantage of by those who love to prey on the
kind of heart, like yourself, but you have not
let it get you down just yet. You know some
people are bad, but you like to believe that no
soul is completely black, and you believe in
befriending even the most undesirable people.

So there I am being innocent again! What the hell? I write erotic romance, yet I’m pure or innocent in all these dang quizzes… I guess deep down I’m a good girl. :innocent1_tb:
