This picture of blooming wisteria comes from my friend Bonnie's back yard. Isn't it lovely?
I was restless all week in between writing sessions and ended up going out for coffee or margaritas most nights. Happiness is having friends... :)
What were you up to?

Work, work, work. I managed to break through another creative log jam on the latest novel last week, and a I drank TWO beers with friends. I expect more of the same this week (work and creative log jams, but probably not beers).
Just a quick drop by for me as well -- but long enough to be jealous of green stuff and blooming things which won't start here for 2-3 weeks (at least I hope it's here by then).
What we've had is lots and lots of rain, the results of which is all I've had to take pictures of. [LINK]
My DVD player broke, so I had to replace it. In the meantime, I had to watch my Netflix movies on my computer. Well, at least I had a back-up system.
Saw a silly comedy I wouldn't recommend, but I'm also watching these "Jesse Stone" mysteries starring Tom Selleck that are based on Robert B. Parker novels. My dad mentioned them to me, and I'm really glad he did.

Hey folks - spent the week packing, cleaning, and wrapping up my Florida life. I leave early tomorrow morning, bound for Colorado. Stopping to see Far, andif, Nancy and Katiebird on the way. and I can't wait! We'll toast absent friends.
Hope you're enjoying your Sunday - don't know when I'll get to write again, but I'm looking forward to having a home again soon.
Man... I'm not sure it was a good idea to take an extra day off work Monday. Saturday got eaten alive, today there's only been a couple of hours to relax & we're supposedly cleaning up the living room (NOT).
Paul, if you're not going to have those beers I'll be glad to take them off your hands. :-D
Beth, have wonderful and safe travels, and I'll see you on blog if and when you're able and in Kentucky for sure in late May.
Far, I'm right there with you, buddy. I just stocked up on Lysol and Endust supplies, thinking I'd get some spring cleaning done, but so far they're still in a bag on the kitchen floor.
On the other hand, the Bailey's in my hot chocolate is delicious and I hit the halfway point and passed it on a new writing project. Love weekends. :)
Southern Witch series - Quote of the Day: "I'd never kill anyone with hair that fabulous." ~ Rollie the vampire * * * Gerry Bartlett writes a terrific humorous paranormal series featuring a beautiful full-figured vampire. Here's what Gerry has to say about becoming one of the undead herself... Since you write about vampires, if you had the choice, would you want to be one? "Lots to consider here. First, my heroine, Glory St. Clair, was turned when she had a few extra pounds to lose and then she was stuck like that. So first, I’d have to diet down to a perfect weight. And that’s obviously not going to happen. I have the self-control of a mosquito in a nudist colony. Then there’s the whole liquid diet thing. Sorry, but I love my food too much to give it up. What fun is it to live forever without steak and a baked potato? Not to mention chocolate truffles. I have to have crunch in my diet too, just like my heroine. She suffers just to taste the occasional Cheeto. O...
Southern Witch series - Quote of the Day: "I don't know why people pay for rental cars when so many friends and family members just leave their keys lying around unattended." ~ Tammy Jo Trask, whose car is often misplaced. * * * NYT bestselling author Nina Bangs writes awesome sexy, funny paranormal romances, but she didn't always know that she would become a writer. When asked in an interview what she wanted to be when she grew up, she said: "I wasn't so practical when I was young. I wanted to ride horses. I wasn't too clear on the concept of how I'd manage that, but I was open to suggestions." Don't you just love that? Amazingly, she went on to raise and show Arabians for a few years. So apparently Nina's good at turning all kinds of dreams into reality. I'm taking notes! (To learn more about Nina's terrific books, visit her site - www.NinaBangs.com ) * * * Another author whose work I love is Alyssa Day. She writes about the l...
Southern Witch series - Quote of the Day "And how come the Glenfiddle workers remembered me splashing them with the passionflower potion? Weren't these potions supposed to cause at least a little bit of amnesia? I mean how was a witch supposed to spell-cast without getting caught?" ~ Tammy Jo, realizing that when she rescues people from monsters, she needs to be sneaky about it. Life as a witch is so complicated! * * * Maria Lima is a terrific cyber-friend that I met at my friend Nancy Pickard's blog awhile ago. Maria writes a wonderful series of paranormal books (the Blood Lines series) that are set in Texas and are packed with mystery. How could I not love them? Here's the first line from Matters of the Blood : "I know the dead, and the dead know me. Not a personal choice, mind you, just the result of being born into a family of necromancers." Maria hooked me with that opening and pulled me through the rest of her story, which is just as great. Recent...

Hey, Maria - Yahoo on having a marathon writing session! Here's hoping you DO finish by tonight.
Morning, Andi. :) I love the picture. The leaves look like jigsaw puzzle pieces. Very cool.

I'll check in as I can - til then, take care!
