Ouch, Eek and Moving Along…
So this is it. The last week at home and final crunch time for the Dear Twins before heading off to college. With so much to do this week I’m going to take a little blog break so I can concentrate on my lists and check them twice and then once more for good measure. Of course true to form I started things off right this morning by reaching for the coffee and dropping a can of ginger ale on my foot. Let’s hope it’s not a sign of the week ahead.
But moving on…I’m thinking by the time I’m back here I’ll be all cried out from my double goodbyes but hopefully ready to face Life Part 3. At least Jack will still be here to keep me on my toes.
Have a good one!
Best,

Wonderific!
Last night’s Project Runway was all sorts of fun and made double your pleasure with the addition of a twitter party that was going fast and furious.
The designers were quaking in their boots when they were put to the test of dressing fab judge and one never without an opinion La Nina Garcia. I’m sure they were all wishing it was the outfit Michael Kors challenge but hey, maybe that torture is next.
Nina didn’t fail us in delivering the goods right from the get go. No wild colors, no crazy prints and now we know cowls are banned! Not to grace her lovely neck. And the “No’s”, I lost count two minutes after Tim lead her carefully into the work room. Is it me or does Tim lead guests around the workroom as if they are going through a Jurassic Park exhibit?
I have to say I was thrilled with Kimberly’s win though true to Bravo cutting she had me on edge up until the end and I was on the fence even as her look walked down the runway, not knowing what Nina would think of that top. But her magic gold top of superpower prevailed.
It seemed that top could do no wrong. Giving all power to all women (I’m now wondering if it will go with my writing sweats).
Congrats Kimberly, go forth and conquer. Yes!
As for the eliminated designer I have to shake my head on that one. Yeah Julie’s Droat (Dress/coat LoL Johanna!) was dreadful but I thought Cecilia’s one shoulder mousy give up called her to go. If only the judges could have heard her awful not wanting to be there comment from the back room.

Oh and though I still love a late bloomer, I fear the youngsters may be making Bert a tad bit cantankerous. What’s with the attitude man? I’m not feeling very #TeamBert lately. Though I still think he’s extremely talented I’m wishing there was an Ernie in the mix to cheer him up.

Coffee and Donuts
Today I woke up tired. Don’t you hate when that happens? You sleep all night but wake feeling like you ran a marathon and chopped down a few trees. Oh well, still time to make the donuts.
Maybe this cute coffee and donuts necklace found here on Etsy is just the thing to chase the tiredness away. I likie.Best,
KwanaTea for Tuesday
Me and the Dear Twins are feeling a little (*see a lot*) overwhelmed with the days until the college buh-bye coming faster than all we have to do.
Makes me feel like we need to slow it down and have a tea together or something to catch our breath. Not that I see us sitting so serenely, but maybe if there are cookies involved all will be well?
Note the little bear on the left, always bear (twin) griping. *headshake*
Hope you get a tea moment today.

Rainy Monday
Strip a What? Strip a Who?
Once again under the heading of: ‘Totally Educational’, whilst at Rom Con there was session called Strip a Hero and since I saw a bunch of other smart looking ladies flocking to it I thought I’d join in the stampede queue.
Historical authors Kimberly Killion, Jade Lee, Jennifer Ashley and Mary Wine hosted. They all wrote funny skits that were acted out by our heroes where they just so happened to end up disrobing a bit. Only a bit mind you. LOL.
So for today I give you Strip a Hero!
Happy Friday!

The Ladies Are Out In Style
To show you Rom Con wasn’t all about the beefcake here are pics from one of the highlights of the weekend.
Deeanne Gist’s Victorian Fashion Show with the fashions modeled by Your Favorite Historical Authors!
It was so much fun and so educational:
Mary Wine takes your breath away in a costume she made herself!
Delilah Marvelle beautiful in a skating costume
Jade Lee strutting her stuff
Beth Williamson lovely in her day dress
Jade and Delilah having fun in their swimming suits
In the end we got to see Deeanne get dressed from her chemise on up and here she is finally done in her gorgeous walking suit.
Trust me there will be no quick ravishing with trying to get under all those layers.

Summer Snow?
Well folks I’m leaving the NYC and am off to Colorado for a little summer snow.
Nah, not really turns out I won a cool contest and I’m off for some literary R & R at RomCon, a conference for fans of romance, which I so am.
So there you have it. A few days of much needed rest, relaxation and book talk. All my faves!
But just so I don’t get too relaxed I will take my laptop and ye old manuscript with me. Wouldn’t want it to miss me and all.
See you soon!
Best,
Kwana
P.S. Don’t forget Project Runway tonight #teamBert!
You Ain’t The Boss of Me
I will be showing this manuscript who’s the boss around here.
Just you watch.
