With only 2 days left until we leave for Vegas, I have been looking at pictures of our hotel and dreaming of the fun we are going to have! We are staying at the Mirage Hotel and Casino right there in the middle of the Vegas Strip. Recently remodeled, all of the rooms are supposed to be very nice, with new beds and an ultra-modern look. When we first started looking at Vegas as an option for our wedding/honeymoon, the Mirage quickly stuck out as one of the best hotels on the strip. I read a ton of reviews and…

I realize that my blog hasn’t been very exciting lately, but I have a good excuse. We’re leaving for Vegas in only 6 days! The wedding and the trip are pretty much the only things on my mind, and understandably so. Never having been to Las Vegas before, I’m not totally sure what to expect… but after having loved almost every big city I’ve ever been to, I know I’m going to love Vegas too. This weekend G and I were able to upgrade our photo package at the chapel and every detail about the wedding is perfect according to…

I haven’t taken any pictures of my results yet, but I still wanted to blog about it. I am actually pretty excited about the way it turned out. I was really nervous to try it (especially with the wedding trip only 8 days away!). So, you might ask, why do it at all? I have these annoying tan lines from when we went to the flea market months ago. Despite some trys at sunless tanning here at home, the tan lines persist. One reason for doing a salon tan is to try to even out my tan lines. My dress…

Dang! I so wanted the brothers to win! Not because they were particular nice to each other, because they weren’t, but because in my little reality show winner picks game with my sister, they are the team I chose to win it all. Last night’s finale was a good one, especially since the final city on the Amazing Race was Las Vegas and my fiance and I will be traveling there in only 9 short days for our wedding/honeymoon! All three remaining teams ended up on equal footing by getting on the same flight home to Vegas. I have to…

Ugh! I hate dieting! All week, I’ve been watching what I eat and exercising, but I haven’t lost a single pound! I was really hoping to shed at least 2 pounds this week, but instead, I’m going to bed hungry every night with sore muscles – for nothing! I’m not trying to starve myself by any means, and I could certainly cut out a few more calories. But without choosing the right foods, I’m going to be even more hungry than I already am – which for me doesn’t spell success. I don’t do hunger well. I would step up…

I have joined a new local critique group. No, I’m definitely not getting rid of my romance critique group. They have been invaluable to me this year. At the same time, however, I want to learn as much as I can about my own writing., The more push I receive from groups, the better. This second group so far consists of four women who are mostly writing women’s fiction and paranormal fiction. As readers of more paranormal and urban fantasy type fiction, these women will be able to hopefully help me with Pandemic in ways that my HCRW group can’t….
