A while back, G and I picked out the room and the resort for our wedding/honeymoon. Our number one choice was the Sandals Royal Grande St. Lucian and our hope for a room was the swim-up honeymoon concierge suite. With airfaire, the price kept coming up to about $7000 for the entire round trip, 7 day vacation. At Sandals, everything is included, so that includes food, entertainment, room, drinks, everything (except shopping). I have routinely been checking back for the prices on the website, and they have steadily been going down. I was getting more and more excited about the…

Have you ever had the experience of wanting something so badly you were almost afraid to try to get it? It doesn’t make sense, really. Logically, if you want something, you do everything in your power to get it. But our actions aren’t always logical. Or at least mine aren’t. I have wanted to be a writer all my life. I used to dream of being a poet, to be honest. Writing novels, especially romances, was more of a secret dream. The only time I ever wrote a long story and submitted it to a contest, I got creamed by…

We had a great weekend. Well, it was mostly great :). On Saturday, we went to Todd and Amie’s wedding at Barclay Villa, this local place that looks like a mini-castle. It was gorgeous. I’ll share some pics. G got stinking drunk and I had to take care of him, but I think of it as me paying him back for taking care of me when I got trashed at the DMB concert last summer. Besides, it was nice to know that someone so perfect can sometimes get out of control as well. Then, last night we had more excitement…

Most of the time I think I don’t get enough sleep. We go to bed around 1:00 am or later most nights and then get up at 8 or 8:30. Sure that’s 7 or 7 1/2 hours of sleep, but it never feels like enough. Then, last night I was upset and decided to just go to bed early, so I went in at around 10 pm. I specifically remember waking up at 4:30 and thinking that it must be time to get up, but when I looked at the clock, I was like, Fuck that. So I went back…

One of the most exciting things that has happened since I joined the Heart of Carolina Romance Writers group is becoming part of a smaller critique group of only three people. Me, Karen Anders, and Jennifer Harrington. I don’t know how I got so lucky!! Jennifer, like me, is unpublished, but hopefully not for long. Karen, on the other hand, is not only a multi-published author for Harlequin, she has a book that was only just released from Harlequin’s Blaze line. Walking into a book store and picking up a book written by a friend has to be one of…

According to cnn, a new poll indicates that three out of four Americans are scared about the way things are going in the country. Oh really? I certainly hope they didn’t spend millions of dollars trying to figure that one out. I could have told them that for free. Of course we’re scared! Most of the older generation and the baby boomers believed they had their careers on lock-down and their retirements all bundled up… then poof! In an instant all of that was gone for so many people. And it’s particularly scary I would imagine for the over 50…
