Tweeting Faith and a Front Page Affair
These two things probably have nothing to do with each other except that they are both on my mind and on the blog today so here goes…
As for Tweeting Faith I’d love to have you all click on over to my blog buddy Deidra’s wonderful blog Jumping Tandem and check out my guest post on keeping it real and the connections that can be made through cyber space when you do.
As for the Front Page Affair that is the title of Mira Lyn Kelly’s Harlequin book that I read for Wendy the Super Liberian’s TBR challenge this month. The theme this month was marriage of convenience. And though Nate and Payton aren’t in a marriage in the story they are in an affair of convenience to throw the tabloids off the scent of another secret Nate has hidden. This was a fun and quick read that kept me up way too late at night until I got to the end. I just love it when that happens.
Here is the Back cover blurb:
Payton hasn’t seen Nate Evans in years—not since he used to hang out with her brother in high school. But now she and Nate are guests at the same wedding where the notorious millionaire offers her a wild proposal—a sexy, scandalous and irresistible affair!
Nate’s outrageous proposition was supposed to stay only paper-thin; it was merely a ploy to distract the tabloids from another, all-too-real scandal. But neither he nor Payton expected such a very public affair to prove so very hot in private…
Or to have such lasting consequences….
So question of the day: Is any marriage ever convenient? Answer if you are so brave.

And Just When I Was Getting Bored…
The Real Housewives of NJ premiered last night with a whole lotta hot mess to snap me out of my TV coma.
Oh my, did you watch? I never thought Teresa could come out looking good but to me she’s a princess compared to that sister in law of hers, Melissa and her sister Lysa. What trouble those two are and that brother Joe, oy!
I commend Teresa for walking away from the fight but as for her husband Juicy Joe, how could he walk away after his wife was called garbage? This is going to be some Klassy season. Yikes.

It’s Monday
It’s Friday the 13th and I’ll smile Anyway
It’s Friday… And it’s a bittersweet one. Colleges have been chosen, two separate ones, a few hours away and today is the last day of High School Classes for my Dear Twins. I have to admit, I kind of want to cry. Of course I knew this day was coming but in September it seemed still pretty far off. Boy was I wrong. I should have known, Time runs like a freight train out of control and picking up speed.
The twins will do volunteer work for the next month before graduation in June. I’m sure the Summer will go by quicker than I want and before long I’ll be hugging both and in a fit of tears as I say goodbye at college. But, in the meantime I’ll sing this silly song and just pretend it’s another normal Friday.

Charged
Hi folks. I hope you had a wonderful weekend and all the moms out there got to celebrate either as big or as small as you wanted. I had a lovely low-key day with the DH, The Dear Twins and Jack that started with breakfast in bed and ended with a late night snack in bed. Yeah I’m sure I’ll be paying for all the indulgences later.
On Saturday I went downtown to a very nice restaurant on 57th street for our NYC annual May Brunch. This year is our 25thChapter Anniversary and we were greeted at our place settings by these pretty little maids.
As an added bonus we had the best guest speaker, New York Times best selling Paranormal and Romantic Suspense author, Caridad Pineiro. Caridad was kind enough to share with us her advice for making it as a writer in this business. She was so uplifting and inspirational. It was a terrific afternoon. You can checkout Caridad at her site here.
Now I’m charged and ready to tackle the week. I hope you’re ready too.

Two Reasons
What’s Jack up to? Well Jack has been such the Jackster and then some lately. Darting all around and barking at just about everybody (don’t ask me what’s up with that) that dares cross his path. Seems the little dog has quite the ‘tude.
But he’s tipping around the corner and onto the blog today to wish you all a Happy Friday and to say
Happy Mother’s Day!
to all the mom’s out there. We’re both hoping you have a joy filled weekend.
Best,

In the Swing
It’s a new day and I’m putting my best foot forward to get into the swing of things on this hump day.
How are you swinging today?

Let It Be With You…
What a morning this is. I woke up and said to my husband, “Welcome to a changed world.” Now we don’t know how much it has changed or how, but we can only hope and pray it’s for the better.
Last night I sent this tweet:
“Tonight I’ve gone back almost 10 years in an instant. Wish I could go back 11 to moment of Peace. 9/11 will never be forgotten.”
I know it’s naive, the going back part. We can never go back as we can never truly forget. So I’m going for PEACE.

Royally Thankful
Thanks so much to all of you who hopped over to Heroes and Heartbreakers and read my “If Only For A Day” post.
So today is the big day? Did you watch the royal wedding or did you sleep in? What did you think? Wasn’t Kate lovely? How about that dress? So very Grace Kelly. Commoner to Princess.
I’m wishing the couple all the happiness in the world. If the start is any indication it should be a wonderful marriage.
I sure wish I were over there to pick up a tea towel as a souvenir. That would be fun huh?
