Future Farmers of America
The FFA has a deal going with Campbell’s Soup. It’s one of those quick and easy donations things – just click on the barn. http://www.helpgrowyoursoup.com/ I have a soft stop for FFA, even though I never did anything directly with them. Anyway, check it out.
Proximidade Award
Looky what Eaton gave me! This reward is in Portuguese so the translation is below. “This blog invests and believes, in proximity”[meaning, that blogging makes us ‘close’ -being close through proxy] How awesome is that?? “They are all charming blogs, and the majority of them aim to show the marvels of friendship; there are persons who are not interested when we give them a prize, and then they help to cut these bows; do we want that they are cut, […]
Echo of a Whisper
Whenever I edit in wordpress, I end up with strange formatting. Not that my formatting comes out the way I want anyway, but the more names I add, the stranger it gets. So I am listing those who are participating in the Whisper meme here: 1. Andi Unhinged 2. Renee Renee Lynn Scott 3. Sasha Looking for the Right Word 4. Kelly Delusions of Grandeur 5. Heather Phoenex Hearse 6. Ian The Popcorn Principle 7. Lyza Lynn Shell Game 8. […]
Want Samoas?
I finally got all the Girl Scout Cookies that have been won on my blog sent to their respective recipients. Taxes are done, as is the big dance recital. I’m ready for some more! Lets make this easy for you. ANY comment left ANYWHERE on my blog between now and Sunday night will be eligible. I’ll count you in once for each and every comment you leave. Think I won’t know if you comment on something from among the blogs […]
Alice Calling for Cookies
This time we are going to do something a little different. I’m going to award the cookies to someone who leaves a comment on someone else’s blog – specifically, a blog that can be found among the participants of the Alice Calling Meme. In that meme you were supposed to take a paragraph and make a few changes in it. We had a genie in a bottle, zombies, men in love, the loss of a lace garter, and cable cars turn up […]
Wish Me Luck, I'm Going In!
I’ve been sort of kind of ignoring my blog lately. No, seriously. I announced quite some time ago that I was going to do Monday Madness, Talk To Me Tuesdays, Wed with Mr. Al, Thursday Thirteen, Suzie’s House on Friday, Saturday Gerbil TV, and Sunday Recipes, and I’ve been doing the posts that way, but I never bothered to update my Menu. That’s because my menu is in CSS. At least I think it’s CSS. It certainly isn’t English. I […]
Which Way Do You Go Around Your Car?
I did all right this week. I finished the rough draft of A Miss for Mark, which is why the ticker came down on all the boards where I hang out. Yay! It’s so good to have that done. Now if only it didn’t need so much revision. We closed the polls on the Best Revisions of 2007 at FanLit Forever. Yay Natasia for first place. I started my submission for the next round, though I’m no where near done […]
Surf's Up
I’ve been wandering all over the place this week. I stumbled upon Ramblings on Romance where I found this: What strikes me about this performance – a performance I believe rises above the vast majority of those I’ve seen before including the live Olympic practice session I saw in Utah – is that it is IN CHARACTER. He is expressing an archetype in movement and attitude, right down to the facial hair. Go to the end after he’s off the […]
Thanks for your patience
Sorry it took so long. Here are the links to last weeks T13 Renee Jennifer Shirk Full.Body.Transplant. Paige Shelley Munro Nicole Austin Heather Chelle Y Harris Channing Nicholas (Who has a sexy voice. Go check him out.) Adelle Uisce Jen Oops, almost forgot Lara, who never leaves a link but I know how to find her. I’ll be back to the T13 stuff next week. Hopefully I’ll be a little more coordinated then.
The End of Sven
As you all know I’ve been working on the Sweat with Sven challenge. I chose A Miss for Mark, the third book in the Parthenon Club, as my Work in Progress for that event. When it started I’d already been at it for over a month. Let’s look at a few statistics Words written before the challenge began: 16,548 I was thinking it was 13,000 until a few minutes ago when I realized I’d pulled the number from the wrong […]
7 Facts about Alice Audrey
As I said over on Jodi’s blog, Jodi being the one who tagged me for this, I’m not that interesting. So I’m going to modify the rules for this post. Just a little. The real rules: Link to the person who tagged you; Leave a comment on their blog so that their readers can visit yours; Post the rules on your blog; Share 7 random and/or weird facts about yourself on your blog; Tag 7 random people at the end […]
Sven Today
If I can do 8,366 words in three days, including two days that are not good for schedules, then I will have written 70,000 words during the Sven challenge. I won’t have finished the book, but I’m close. Actually, if I could count words that were written for FanLit Forever entries and Suzie blogs I’d be well over 70,000. But alas, I can not. I wrote 10,508 words since last Sunday. I was shooting for 20,000. Oh well. I’m quite […]
Thursday Thirteen #11
Things I Learned This Christmas I meant to post this last week, but had a different one keep coming up on me. So, though it’s a bit late, here is my post-Christmas review. 1. Christmas isn’t the same for everyone. 2. Snow helps a lot for Christmas spirit, but it’s not so good for trees. 3. Family makes all the difference. 4. It’s better for the whole family to make a big adjustment than for one person to be left […]
A Sigh for Sven
The Sven challenge ends January 15th. That means I have just over one week in which to write about 20,000 words. I got some writing done this week, but none of it was in A Miss for Mark, so it doesn’t count for my Sven thing. I doubt I will meet my original goal. I won’t finish the book in a week, nor have done an average of 1,000 words a day. But I can come close. I’m going for […]
Thursday Thirteen #10: Reasons My Husband Is Glad I Write Romance
1 – I find him inspirational. 2 – He’s developed a taste for the office floor. 3 – He loves to help me do research. 4 – He likes hanging out in the library while helping me do research, even if I’m just looking at fashion plates from 1810 instead of battle fields. 5 – He thought the research involving the closet was interesting. Hey, I needed to know how things… um… lined up. 6 – He’s hoping someday one […]
