    DIY-DIMe?

    Oh boy so it’s a big day today. A DIY kind of day with a whole lot of Oh La La thrown in. Today I’m going to be in the audience for The Nate Berkus Show. How? Why?

    Well, it’s blogger day over at Nate, well technically décor blogger day and you all know I’m pretty much a writer that talks about books, fashion, family, life and I drool over décor and show you pics of Jack on my getting a little tired couch while trying to hide my curtain situation. Yeah, it’s a situation. Shhh. Don’t tell the pretty bloggers.

    But I do love good décor and adore cutie Nate. What a dream to have him come and fix up my little cottage in Freshchester. Quite swoony and hey, this gets me like what, 1 degree from my girl. Ahh- AAhhhh….. (queue angels singing)

    It’s A Monday

    What’s Jack up to? Here is Jack looking out the window as the rest of the family heads off for the Monday grind. DH to work and DD and DS to school.

    And here he is looking at me like so now what?

    I’ll tell you what Jack it’s me with some final way over due critiquing and then write, write, write-ing!!

     The party is surely over love. It’s a Monday.

    What’s on your plate today?

    A Festivus for The Rest Of Us

    What’s Jack up to? Though I wanted to sleep in this Saturday but Jack was having none of it and had the DH and I up pretty early pushing his strong little body against one side of the bed, shake, shake,  then, scratch, tap, tap, running to the other side to push some more until we gave in and he got to go out. Once again we know who’s in charge here. LOL.

    Thanks to all of you who read my work, commented and voted for me in the Mills & Boon New Voices contest. It’s so hard to step out and be judged. If you haven’t had a chance to read and be all judgy there is still time. Grab a cup of tea and head on over here now. Thanks.

     

    On a lighter note…finally a rally I can get behind well just about any of us can that is if I can get off the couch. I love you Jon Stewart.

    New Soul

    Though we know this song from being a Mac and I’m all PC I still love it and the video. I think we all have the opportunity to be New Souls inside.

    Happy Friday!

    So What Cha Readin’?

    Thanks to those who gave such kind comments on my entry in the New Voices contest yesterday. There is still plenty of time to read my submission and vote if you like.

    So I have not asked this question in quite a while: What cha readin’?

    I’m slowly reading The Girl Who Played With Fire book 2 of Stieg Larssson’s Milennium Trilogy. These are books that I find take me a while to get into but I’m still incredibly drawn to Lisbeth, the main character so I keep coming back. Have you ever had this happen to you?

    Tangled

    Well, I was about to rant on and on about the tangled technology mess that I’m in but while searching for an appropriate picture this one popped up and, well, it shut me right up. Enjoy!

    Super Duper Cute

    What’s Jack up to? Well now that school is back in session it’s back to me and Jack for the better part of the day. So we are bonding once again. Here is is trying to get me off Twitter and back on track with my writing. My own writing coach. Ok ,Jack, I get your point and I’m getting right back to work.

     

    With school back in so is my afternoon drive time with the DD doing the dance thing. And that means the fight over the car radio is back on. Every once in a while we can agree on a cute little diddy. Enjoy.
