And How Was Your Weekend?

Biker Dude and I had a nice weekend. We’re pretty low key people. Saturday we went to one of the local casinos we hadn’t been to since they remodeled. We wanted to try their new buffet, and of course, gamble a little. And by a little we really mean…a little. We’re not big gamblers. We tend to like our money so we enjoy holding on to it. We’re pretty smart about our money. We don’t gamble the mortgage and we also know casinos are in the business of making money, so we always go into a casino with the amount of money we intend to lose. Hey, we’re not suckers. We don’t go there intending to win. If we win, great. But we figure we’re probably going to lose.

Anyway, we played for a couple hours and left with the money we came with. We called it a win. :giggle: Though we never did get into the buffet. Too crowded. All the old people seem to crawl out of the woodwork when it’s buffet time. Why is that?

We did a little shopping at Bed Bath and Beyond. I’ve been looking for a new hamper for our remodeled master bathroom. BB&B had no hampers I like. Hampers are just…odd these days. Odd shapes and sizes and colors and not what I want. I need to keep looking. Did buy some new bath towels for the guest bathroom which we’re also redoing. Washed said towels when we got home and let me tell you the lint explosion in my lint catcher was beyond description. It was like a wooly mammoth had found refuge in the lint catcher. That’s what I get for buying discount towels. Dayum.

Saturday night we watched a couple movies–Kung Fu Panda and Monsters vs Aliens. No, there were no children in attendance and yes we like kid movies. Cute movies but our favorites are still Madagascar and Ice Age. Oh and Biker Dude loves Shrek. Yes, we’re really 7 year olds.

Sunday my afternoon nap was thwarted by the rain out and subsequent cancellation of the NASCAR race. How can I nap without NASCAR? Dammit. (It’s something about the droning engine noise and all those left hand turns). Therefore I was forced to do laundry.

And how was your weekend?

Random Monday

First, Happy Birthday to #1 son, who turns 31 today! (Yeah, I was 7 when I had him. I’m very progressive that way).

Second, the sun is out, the snow is melting and it’s supposed to hit the 60’s today and the 70’s tomorrow. Thank you Mother Nature, for screwing with my weekend with that epic snowstorm. You finished now? I’d really like to start on my vegetable garden.

We signed up for the premium channels again just so I could watch The Pacific, a new series about World War II on HBO. Great new series by the way. But since we hadn’t had the premium channels in awhile I’ve been catching up with movies in the like (we got a good package deal so we got all the premium channels–bonus!). And Spartacus, on Starz, which is rather drool worthy with lots of yummy naked men. Hey, I’m only human. How am I supposed to resist all those naked guys, or as Biker Dude calls it–chick porn. Heh.

Watched Twilight the other night. That was interesting. Very teen angsty. And sparkly.

My Best Friends Girl was funny. So was Forgetting Sarah Marshall. I should tell you that I’m also very easily amused.

Anyway, on to writing. Working on trying to finish up The Perfect Game. You can see the blurb here. My goal is to finish the book by the end of this month, then write the followup book next month. Busy schedule this year so a lot of self flogging involved in maintaining a strict writing schedule. I try to set specific daily writing goals in order to finish a book. Deadlines are good for me, otherwise I flail around like a fish out of water, which isn’t pretty. A lot of gasping for air and looking ridiculous. Goals are better. I can breathe when I have goals.

Still waiting on the cover for Riding The NIght (AJ and Pax’s book). Doesn’t it just figure that Pax and AJ would make us wait? Will pop it on here as soon as it makes its appearance!

And that’s about as random as I’m getting today. Unless something else pops into my head, which is likely to happen.

Edited To Add: See? Something else to add. Head on over to awesome author Beth Kery’s Blog and let her know what your favorite erotic romance of 2009 was. There are prizes being given away!

Hope your week is sunny and snow free!

Spring?

Thursday it was 75 degrees. Warm and sunny and beautiful outside. I took a picture of our magnolia tree starting to bloom. Pretty isn’t it?

This is today. It’s been snowing since yesterday and it’s still freaking snowing. Said magnolia is off to the back right of the picture.
