    Today marks my1000th post

    ~~~

    Holy cow. I’m a little bit surprised, actually.

    I remember when I started out three years ago, I thought, “Holy Hades, I don’t get this blogging stuff.”

    But I quickly fell in love with it.

    I really enjoy hanging out with you guys, talking music, movies, writing…all kinds of stuff!

    You’ve walked along side me during some of the ups and down along my journey to publication.

    And now….can you believe my debut novel has already been delivered to some people?

    Yep.

    Amazon put it up (paperback only so far) up a bit early (which is totally okay with me) and those who jumped on ordering it have already gotten their copies!! It’ll be up on Kindle and Nook closer to the release date.

    I’m SUPER excited for my release party over at Bitten By Books on September 6th. It’s an ALL DAY EVENT with super prizes (including a KINDLE!!)

    And if you’re in the Phoenix, AZ area Saturday September 17th, come to my book party with your book and I’ll sign it!! Details HERE.

    So…mark your calendars. I want to celebrate the official release with each and every one of you!

    I’m off to enjoy the day. Happy FRIDAY, everyone!!

  • Debate This…MTV 1981 vs MTV 2011


    Debate This is all about voicing your opinion on really important things, such as Pepsi vs. Coke, Nike vs. Converse, and Twinkies vs. Ho-Hos. **smile** Okay, so maybe they’re not super important, but they’re at least fun things to jaw about. . . .

    Be sure to cast your vote on the poll below. I’ll share the results later. . . .

    MTV 1981 vs MTV 2011

    ~~~~

    Remember these guys?

    Can you believe it’s been THIRTY years since MTV came onto the music scene? Anyone know the FIRST video they played?

    Okay, but this isn’t a trivia post… *grin*

    This past weekend they were celebrating thirty years of the station and I suddenly remembered a time when MTV actuallyplayedmusic…remember that?

    So, with that statement, alone, you probably know where I stand on the vote, but I want to hear what you have to say.

    So, my soon-to-be eleven-year-old nephew was with us for a few days this past weekend. You can imagine the amount of junk food consumed during those four days.

    While none included Twinkies and Ho Hos, the fun times eating junk food with my nephew brought me back to when I used to eat Ho Hos and Twinkies.

    Man they were good. Okay, they still are good…But which is better?

  • Sunrise…


    You probably know by now I love pictures of sunrises. You really know it if you follow me on Facebook, because I often post them since I get up and work-out so early (kinda have to in the desert…it’s HOT here…LOL)

    Anyway, I found this WICKED-AWESOME sunrise picture. Check it out:

    Wow. Talk about beautiful. There’s just something about a sunrise that makes me smile. Maybe it’s because I’m lucky enough to start out another day….

    Have a fantastic day. I hope you find time to slow down and catch a sunrise or sunset. If you do, post a picture and send me a link, I’ll come check it out.

  • Dark Angels…


    If you’ve been following the blog for any length of time, you might know by now, I love angel pictures (almost as much as sunrise pictures–LOL).

    So, I found this one.

    ***UPDATE: Sorry, due to an uproar of using Google Images on blogs, I’ve removed pictures I’ve gotten from there.***

    It’s a sweet picture, isn’t it? Love the white bird and the lightning…Just beautiful.
