Is that an oxymoron? Ah well, its early enough that doesn't really feel like a Monday yet :)

The weekend passed in a blur...no, not a fun blur :( Just busy, busy. I did get a new toy, however, that's been a lot of fun. I found a Flip camcorder that was super cheap and just had to get it. Now I'm taping everyone and everything...you know, generally driving everyone crazy! I'm amazed how easy it is to use and especially how easy it is to download the videos. Technology changes so fast it's h

Thanks to everyone for the birthday wishes!! I've finally tossed the last of the cake in the trash and replaced it with bananas...sigh. At least the weather has turned and I can get out of the house to walk. I'm busy working on Salvatore's story and working on my eldest son's graduation party (he's graduating from college...yikes) There's also my youngest son's birthday party, but he's reached that age that I probably won't even see him except when he wants his card :) Other than that I'm

I hope everyone had a Happy Easter...mine was a lot of fun despite the miserable weather. Today's my birthday, but oddly enough the older I get the less they bother me :) Actually, I love birthdays...what could be better than cake and presents! Of course, it does mean working out twice as hard as I used to get rid of the cake-butt and I don't spend nearly as much time in front of a mirror as I used to, but on the up side my eye sight is going so I really can't see well enough to be worried :)

Easter is swiftly approaching, which means I have to clean my house :( I love having family around, but it would be much easier if I had a fairy godmother who could wave her wand and magically make my house shine! Oddly enough when I used to dream about becoming a writer I pictured myself sitting in the sun with a delicious pool-boy bringing me drinks while I conjured my next great American novel . Now I'd settle for washer that doesn't rattle and a vacuum that actually picks up the dirt :)

Wow, the year just keeps racing along, I can't believe it's already April. I did have a nice surprise, I found a gift card to Hastings that I'd tucked away from Christmas...yes, my house is that insane :) Now I have to consider what to buy with my fun little surprise. I've already pre-ordered Karen Chance's next book, but I'm not sure what else is coming out in April. Do you have any suggestions of can't miss books???

Hope you're enjoying your spring!

I can't believe the weekend is here already...I'm not exactly sure what happened to the week, but it's obviously disappeared. I'm thinking maybe I fell through a blackhole :) I did get plenty of movies for my netflix so thanks to everyone and someday I'm going to have time to actually watch them! For now I'm busy working on Salvatore's story...he's proving to be a bit of a pain (you know how those Weres can be) and it's slow going for now. The first of a book is always the most difficult par

Okay, I'm stuck again with my netflix :) Have any of you seen any great movies that might be out on dvd? My problem is that I see the previews and tell myself that I'm going to go see the dang thing and then of course I never make it...sigh. That means six months later I can't remember what the heck I wanted to see. So I would really appreciate any suggestions before I end up with an empty queue. God forbid!

Hope all is well,

I'm not sure if I should admit it or not, but I'm waaaaay too old to go out and party like I use to on St. Pats Day. I don't even make the corned beef since no one in my family but me likes it. So, I suppose I'll be boring. I hope you all have better traditions than I do :) Let me know your plans!

As happy as I am with writing the Guardian series it would not be possible without YOU!!!! It's because of my readers that my publisher has continued to support my writing (they are a business, after all) and I don't take enough time to just say thank you!!!!! Even if I don't always remember to say it, I am forever grateful for all of you allowing my dreams to come true.

Kudos to readers everywhere!
