Monday Eye Candy
March 17th, 2008

Monday’s eye candy for your viewing pleasure. Happy St. Patty’s Day!

Weekend Maintenance
March 15th, 2008

My website and blog are getting an overhaul in the next couple weeks. New look, new sexy, snazzy stuff - it’s going to be gorgeous! Of course, because the amazingly brilliant Frauke of Croco Designs is doing it.

This weekend she’s going to be performing maintenance on the code, so you might see a “maintenance” screen when you access my website or blog. No worries - it’s just Frauke working her magic.

Stay tuned for the big launch!

Oh, and on Monday I’m going to be over at The Romance Studio blog with the other CAPA winners celebrating. Hope you can come by!

And now a word from Friday
March 14th, 2008

Yep, we made it. It’s Friday! Woooohoooo!! It’s particularly happy-happy-joy-joy because it’s the dreaded daylight savings time change.

*shudder*

I would have gladly given my right arm to go back to sleep for another hour this morning. Ye gods, I am nearly making love to my coffee right about now.

Later on, I expect to be raring to go on Samhain Cafe between 2 and 4 eastern time. It’s Read an Ebook week and Reader Appreciation Week, remember?

I’ve got a $10 gift certificate to MBAM to give away and a download of choice from my Samhain backlist. Worth playing for? (Hee hee, I’m a Survivor fan.)

I hope y’all can swing by and play for a little while.

Thursday Thirteen
March 13th, 2008

You know, there are so many odd and sometimes fascinating things that happen in the world. My friend and I used to read the Weekly World News (think National Enquirer only worse) in college just to get that taste of the bizarre.

I don’t have to read the Weekly World News anymore.

Thirteen Bizzare/Strange/Odd News Stories

1. Woman sat on Toilet for Two Years. This is really the #1 odd story. I mean, WTH?

2. In One Arizona Home, Hundreds of Dogs Found in ‘Record Breaker’ Bust. 800 dogs, y’all.

3. Arizona City Wants Moat to Secure Mexico Border. A moat, as in Medieval moat! Wonder if they’ll put crocodiles in it.

4. Boyfriend Kept Woman’s Body on Ice for a Year at SoCal Hotel ‘for Religious Reasons’. Not any religion I’d want to belong to.

5. Woman Tries to Bring Skeleton on Plane. Yet another dead body? This one in a ziploc baggie?

6. Woman Faces Fine for Dyeing Poodle Pink. Hell, she should have a right to a pink poodle, dontcha think?

7. Honey Drips out of California Family’s Walls. Um, yuck.

8. Texas Mother, Son Charged in Sex Slavery Plot. Okay, now, sharing a sex slave with your mom goes beyond squicky.

9. Illness Caused by Brain-Eating Amoeba Kills Calif. Firefighter. OMG, the poor man!

10. 30,000 people a year wake during surgery. This does NOT make me want to go under the knife anytime soon.

11. Dolphin appears to rescue stranded whales. Now that is really cool!

12. Sample The Beer Before You Buy It. Man, they do some cool stuff in Washington.

13. The best for last, right? Clinic: Have Vasectomy, Watch NCAA Hoops. How much do men really love basketball anyway?
