J.D. Robb – It’s All Angie’s Fault

Writing & Publishing, Life in Motion

So last weekend I read the very first J. D. Robb book. Well, it was more like devour it in one sitting. And yes, I do realize I’m probably the last person on the planet to jump on that bandwagon.

Anyway, loved it. Love Roarke. Love him, love him, love him. Sign me up. I’m a convert. I’m in the club. I’m all in.

And speaking of J.D. Robb, it’s all Angie’s fault. She’s been after me for a VERY long time to read this series. I’ve resisted. I don’t have time to invest in another new series. I’m busy. But finally I couldn’t resist any longer. Now that I read the first I want all 397 or however-the-hell-many-there-are.

Angie, I hate you.

And damn you Nora. I have deadlines. I don’t have time to search out your 397 J. D. Robb books. And then read them all like RIGHT NOW. (But I want to.)

I am so screwed. 😥

Update On Buddy

Life in Motion

So here’s the scoop on Buddy, our Lab. (For those who didn’t see the weekend update on what happened to him, click here before reading on)

We took him into the vet’s office today so he could be x-rayed. He not only ripped out the internal sutures from the first ACL surgery, he blew out the other knee, too. That means surgery on both back legs. 😥

So tomorrow he’s having double ACL surgery, and about two months worth of recovery this time. We’ll be penning him up in the SMALLEST PEN IMAGINABLE so the moron doesn’t try and turn corners like a running back and screw up yet another leg. :fuckwit:

He’ll be guesting at the vet’s office for several days this time since they’ll have to help him maneuver around the first few days.

I’m going to rename him the Million Dollar Dog. :dumbass:

Wherein The Weekend Doesn’t Quite Go As Planned

Uncategorized, Life in Motion, Hunting The Demon

Yes, I still have prize winners to pick from last week’s love fest of my book release. Bear with me. I haven’t forgotten )

So Saturday Biker Dude and I had an actual, honest to God day off together. I stayed off the internet (*gasp*…shocking, but true). We went out to breakfast, did a little shopping and saw HUNTING THE DEMON on the New Release shelf at Borders! :boobie:. I grabbed the books and signed them. Wooo hooo!. Then we came home and took a bike ride and watched 300.

Anyway, here’s where the plans went awry….I had intended to spend Saturday night and Sunday doing final editing on The Demon’s Touch so I could turn the book into my editor next week. Saturday night Biker Dude goes outside to feed the dogs and Buddy, who had his ACL surgery 4 weeks ago, isn’t coming over to him. Buddy isn’t getting up. Buddy can’t get up. Buddy can’t walk. :dammit:. So Biker Dude had to pick up and haul all 90 lbs of Buddy into the house. This morning we took Buddy into the vet (who I’m sure was thrilled with the emergency call on a holiday weekend. But hey, we didn’t call at midnight last night. We were conisderate). Vet thinks it’s either his OTHER leg this time (oh joy) or maybe his hips. But she’s not the orthopedic doc. They’ll be in Tuesday. So armed with new pain pills, we took Buddy home where he still isn’t walking. Makes for agonizing trips outside when Buddy has to pee. Biker Dude is doing a ton of weight lifting this weekend.

Fun stuff. Not. :doglick:
