Totally Random

First, thank you so much to everyone who emailed, Tweeted, and Facebooked me about Changing The Game. Writing a book is awesome, of course. Hearing from so many of you who read the book is the big payoff for me. Feedback is gold to an author and I love you all for letting me know how you felt about Gavin and Liz’s story. Thank you all so much!

It rained here Saturday night for about an hour. I almost got teary-eyed, since I think the last time we saw rain here was late May. Yeah, we’re having a drought. Please send more rain. And speaking of weather, it might not hit 100 degrees today. Considering it hit 113 here last week, and we’ve had something like 35 days of temps over 100+, I might do a happy dance if it stays in the 90’s today. (I’m so over this hideous summer.)

One of the dogs has kennel cough. It hurts me to hear Lucy cough, though my daughter who works at the vet’s office assures me she’ll be fine. We have her on antibiotics and cough meds now. But oh, the cough is dreadful. Poor baby. And yes all the dogs get the bordatella vaccine, but they can still get kennel cough when we board them. *sigh*

Is anyone watching Bachelor Pad? Admittedly, I’m a big suckerfan and watch Bachelor and Bachelorette, but Bachelor Pad? Epic trainwreck. Last night was definitely the Vienna and Jake show, and I don’t know which one of them is more psychotic. Should be a fun season.

Right now I’m working on finishing up Killer Decision, book two in my Killer romantic suspense series. Fun stuff!

What’s going on in your world?

Goin’ To The Chapel…

#1 son is getting married on Friday. To say I’m ecstatic is an understatement. He and his girl have been together for a very long time. They’ve had their share of epic ups and downs, but they’ve always remained fully committed, very much in love, and I know I’ll shed a few(okay, likely a lot) of tears when they finally say their I Do’s.

Aren’t they adorable?

So we’re headed out to California for the wedding. Both my sons live out there, and my grandkids. I’m excited to see them. I miss them all.

I’ll be back on Monday to gear up for the Tuesday release of CHANGING THE GAME!

And I’m sure I’ll be loaded down with wedding photos. 😉

A Random Vent

Yesterday I was unloading the dishwasher, and while putting away storage containers and lids, I had to pull the lid container off the shelf. The shelf where I keep all the plastic lids is kind of high, and some of the lids are taller than the shelf, which means I kind of have to cram. Plus the container was overstuffed. Which meant by the time I jerked the container off the shelf, about 15 plastic lids fell on my head.

I’d hit the breaking point. My lid dilemma had been going on for months, but I’d ignored it. Being on deadline means I ignore a lot of things that irritate me, but having all those lids fall on my head was the last straw. So I took all the lids out of the container, and removed every plastic container from the cabinet and did a match up. If there was a container without a lid or a lid without a container, I pitched it. No mercy. I threw out a lot. No wonder shit was falling on my head. No wonder my cabinet was a mess. And, where do lids go without a container to attach to, and where do containers disappear to without their lids anyway? Inquiring minds want to know. Now my cabinet–and my stress level–are much happier.

What’s one minor but you know it’s going to be irritating project in your house that you’re dreading, but you know needs to be done? Go ahead…vent to me.
