Sweet Birthday Wishes Ma!
Wishing the best of birthdays today to my Super Cool Mom today. I’m thinking that though a blue box would be pretty neat gift she just may take a sweet blue cake as a 2nd best substitute.
And look I even included a little funny. Aren’t I the best daughter ev-ah!! (Shhh don’t answer this is public and that wasn’t a question)
Have the best day Ma, I love you!
Love,
Me and the Gang

Babbling about Seduction and Thanks!
I had the best day yesterday (thanks to everyone for all the well wishes here and on twitter and FB. It was amazing). I’m a little hung-over today from eating so much goodness last night. Sidebar: Calories do count on your birthday. Who knew? Today I’ll be trying my best to get my head back in gear in the real world and the writing life, but all I want to do is play with my fantastic birthday gift: My gorgeous new PEN camera (so new, I still have packaging on)!
I suspect for the rest of the summer I’ll be wandering around the city having my own Mika photography fantasies ala THROUGH THE LENS. This will be so much fun.
But today it’s not all pretty pictures as I’m hanging over at Katie’s blog: Babbling About Books, and more talking Seduction’s Canvas and my favorite obsession Scandal! Please stop on by.
All the best,
KMJ
It’s My Birthday… Holla!!
Whee!! It’s my Birthday! Time to bound out of bed as quick as these old bones will let me and do a
Happy Dance of thanks for making it to another birthday!
Am so grateful for being here amongst so many wonderful friends and family, to have the love of my husband and my children and I’m looking forward to a fantastic year ahead. I’m happy about having my 2nd book released with Seduction’s Canvas. I’m not looking for much by the way of gifts this year, except I’m just asking all my friends to tell as friend about Seduction’s Canvas and Samara and Mark. As a new author, spreading the word is all I want to do.
Besides spreading the word about Seduction, today I’ll be kicking up my heels as I try and pretend all the things I eat for the day are calorie free because they ARE since it’s MY BIRTHDAY!!! Then it’s onto writing my next book. You know me, I never stop plotting.
But no fear, It’s not all work. Since it’s MY BIRTHDAY I’m going to also dance. Starting with an oldie but a goodie hard rock (just like me) from Neneh Cherry! Please join me in rocking it out 80’s style! Cause you know, I never progressed all that far past ’89.
All the best,
KMJ

6 Candles…and nothin’
Oh my goodness can I blame it on Sandy? No? If you look for October 25th you’ll see there is no post for that day. Don’t ask me what I was doing or where my head was at, but one thing was sure, it definitely wasn’t where it was supposed to be and that was on Jack. Well, actually it was on Jack because I’m sure I was busy giving him ear drops and eye wipes or whatever we’ve been doing these few weeks, but in the mix of all that and preparing for Sandy I totally forgot my star dog’s 6th birthday. Gah!
Totally and completely forgot. Jack had a total Molly Ringwald, 16 Candles moment.
I didn’t remember until after visiting the fab Ina in Alaska and the super cool Frau’s blogs and seeing their fantastic birthday tributes to their dogs . It was then that my slow mind got to whirring. I’m so sorry Jack. If only you could read and know how sorry I truly am.
He’s hoping your never given Hanukkah gift saved from last year is a good enough consolation prize.
One that as I finish typing this post, has lasted all of 16 minutes before you ripped it to shreds. Oh well, as the DH says, everyday is a birthday for Jack!
Love and Hugs to you my writing guard dog and daily crack up.

Pure Imagination…
Happy Birthday to me! So yesterday I was thinking about how I’m getting up there in the old age department and I started feeling a little bad about it, so I of course, decided to make myself feel worse and hit Google to do a little compare and contrast. Well, I ended up feeling just fine when I discovered that I shared a birthday with the original Mr. Imagination himself, Gene Wilder! Sweet. I’ll let all that downer stuff go (for now at least. I am me.) and say I’m in good company hanging out in my head full of stories of love, lust, mystery, angst and triumph.
Have a very happy day!
Oh and if you’d like to give me a gift please “like” me over here. I’m oh so close. Thanks!
Best,

So I caved. After a week of feeling lousy I could not take the coughing, stuffiness, back pain and then ear pain any longer and made my way to my doctor.
No, it was nowhere near as dramatic as this. Just a sinus infection and an ear infection. I’m sure I’ll be on the mend soon. I just thought the vintage novel pic from ebay was fantastic.
My DH thanks you all for the lovely birthday wishes yesterday. We had a nice time with just the two of us. Going to our favorite spot at the end of City Island and enjoying baskets of shrimps, scallops and fries right by the sea.
Turns out the warm temperatures in New York brought out the party in everyone else too and the place was as packed as you’d find it on a warm Saturday night in July. Booty shorts and all. Side bar: Some are not ready. Just sayin’
We capped off the evening with a red velvet cupcake that my husband had to practically fight Jack for. Jack saw the candle and swore my bad singing was for him I guess. All in all a very nice night.
Best,
Kwana

Top of the Morning!
And a Happy Saint Patrick’s Day to you!
I hope it’s one filled with lots of luck and laughter.
While you are here why don’t you follow the little birdies and go and wish my St. Paddies friend Patricia of PVE Design a Happy Birthday and spread some of the green around!
Cheers!

Happy Birthday Nana!
You should all be so lucky to have a Nana like I have.
A grandmother who is grand is every sense of the word. Today we are blessed and full of joy to be once again wishing her a very happy birthday. And I’m glad to be sharing one of my favorite pictures from an old Mc Donald’s birthday party that I think my kids ( they are the little ones in the vests) had or it could have been one of the others I really don’t know. But as usual all the children flocked around Nana and ambushed her. Here she is with her hand on her head saying something like, “Lord let me just catch my breath and I’ll get to all of you.” And she always did. Sometimes taking care of many more children than that by herself in her home for working mothers.
And like Dr. Seuss whose birthday she shares all the kids flock to her.
We love you Nana! Have a great Birthday!
Love,
Kwana, DH, DD, DS and JackSo They Say…
18
So they say that you are now an adult
Well tell it to these eyes that fill up with tears every time you say goodbye for they can only see the sweet babies God graced me with early that blessed morning.
And tell it to these hands that though they have aged over the years still know the feeling of holding you in my arms rocking, rocking.
And finally tell it to this heart that will forever have a place for you, shut off from the clanging world always chattering and squawking and saying, constantly saying.
Well let them say. For it will beat forever and say baby, my baby, you are loved no matter what they say.
Happy Birthday my Dear Twins remember 18 is what they say but Love is what I feel.
Love Forever,
Mom
