Yesterday, the next two Brava finalists were announced, and man, let me tell ya. They are hot. Make sure to check them out at http://www.bravaauthors.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=162&start=7&sid=79c80d5dbfb542af9a84d394d104a8a4 The first entry was “Losing It” by Dawn Munroe. It definitely has a candid flavor to me and reads with a voice that sounds very true to today. I thought it was a touch wordy at the beginning, which I recognize only because I know that is something I do as well. It is truly an art form to be able to use the least amount of words to get your point across. But I…

Look at what G got me for Christmas!!! We exchanged gifts early because we are heading to my parent’s house for Christmas and wanted to have some time for just the two of us to open gifts. I love this necklace!!! I know that it is something I will cherish for the rest of my life. I want to wear it everyday! Thank you my sweet man, I love you with all of my heart! 🙂

Wouldn’t it be wonderful to just have one more day of weekend? *sigh* It is always hard for me to get up on Mondays and face the week. My tummy hurts a little this morning too, so not sure what’s going on there. G and I had a great weekend together. We decided on a whim to go see the movie “I am Legend” on Friday night. I think I mentioned wanting to see the movie at about 9:45, so we looked it up and the last showing at the theater near us was at 10:10. We quickly got ready…

My pomeranian, Snickerdoodle, (aka “snoodle”)is the ultimate morning person, except that she’s not a person. Of course, like most small dogs, she thinks that she is a person. At night, she sleeps in her crate in the guest room. Much like me, she goes to the bathroom and then happily snuggles up in her warm blanket at bedtime. Where we start to differ is that while I am cranky and never want to get out of bed in the morning… Snickerdoodle can’t wait. I don’t know if she is more excited about the fact that she’s about to go to…

I think that most of us have a love/hate relationship with Christmas. You think you have all this time to get everything done, but then suddenly you look at a calendar and it’s December freaking 12th already. How did that happen? So, here is it, less than two weeks till Christmas now, and a to-do list 10 miles long. It really makes you wonder if it’s all worth it. I mean, in some ways, it’s wonderful that we have a holiday where you are guaranteed to get and give presents to everyone important in your life. It’s a wonderful way…

Well, the first 10 finalists have been posted at http://www.bravaauthors.com/forum/viewforum.php?f=5 , which means that they are halfway through announcing, and I have half as much chance to still make it. I guess I am following the age-old adage of “Hope for the best, but expect the worst.” Honestly, though, I already know the results. I entered the competition with absolutely no experience. Part of me had hoped that I just had this amazing natural ability and that I didn’t need any experience to help me through. Haha! Very silly of me to think that for even a moment, really. The…
