Fixed & a Meme.

Ah ha! So I deleted all my cookies, temporary Internet files, and my history. I logged out of gmail and logged into Blogger fresh instead of allowing it to auto-log me in. Finally Blogger decided I had earned the right to type into the message field. I feel so privileged! LOL

Wish I would have thought to do that over the weekend. I would have been able to post this meme when I wanted to on Friday.


Womens Fiction Book Meme

1. Contemporary, Historical, or Paranormal? I use to love historical romances but now I'm more into paranormal. Although, I'm not real big on vampire romances, which is weird because I love vampires. Guess I just like mine mean and scary and staked.

2. Hardback or Trade Paperback or Mass Market Paperback? Mass Market. I'll buy trade but I'm never happy shelling out an extra couple bucks for them. As for hardback...yeah, I'm too cheap.

3. Heyer or Austen? Since I don't even know who Heyer is, I'll have to go with Austen. At least I've read one of her books.

4. Amazon or Brick and Mortar? Both. I prefer brick & mortar but I'll buy from Amazon, too.

5. Barnes & Noble or Borders? Borders. Although I may convert now that B&N has partnered with Starbucks. Yummy!

6. Woodiwiss or Lindsay? Easiest question on the list. Lindsay hands down. She was my first romance author and is by and far my favorite. Her Malory series tickles my funny bone.

7. First romance novel you ever remember reading? Captive Bride by Johanna Lindsay. My step-mom gave it to me when I was about 13. It began a life-long addiction.

8. Alphabetize by author Alphabetize by title or random? Genre, actually. I have separate shelves for romance, fantasy & scifi, horror & mystery. My romance shelves far outnumber the others, but fantasy is quickly catching up.

9. Keep, Throw Away or Sell? Most of them I keep. Very few do I trade in. And I never throw books in the garbage (well, if they happen to get soaked in the tub or a basement flood, I might).

10. Read with dustjacket or remove it? For those few hardcovers I do read, I always remove the jacket.

11. Sookie Stackhouse or Anita Blake? I'll have to go with Anita because I don't know who Sookie Stackhouse is or what she writes. Maybe I should check her out..

12. Stop reading when tired or at chapter breaks? I prefer chapter breaks.

13. It was a dark and stormy night or Once upon a time? Are we talking children's books here?

14. Crusie or SEP? Crusie.

15. Buy or Borrow? Both! Although, I must admit I have a book buying tendency that could result in our family ending up in the poor house.

16. Buying choice: Book Reviews, Recommendation or Browse? Recommendation and browse. I never pay attention to book reviews. I figure my tastes likely are quite different from the reviewer's and I prefer to form my own opinion.

17. Tidy ending or Cliffhanger? Depends. In romance, though, it has to be a tidy HEA ending. I don't get my HEA, don't expect me to buy another of your books.

18. Morning reading, Afternoon reading or Nighttime reading? Whenever I can reading.

19. Series or standalone? In romance - standalone. In fantasy or scifi - both work for me.

20. Favorite book of which nobody else has heard? Hmm. You want a romance title, right? For the Roses by Julie Garwood is pretty good. The Malory series by Johanna Lindsay...this could go on forever so I'll stop there.

Thanks to Paperback Writer for the meme!

They saved the finger..

This was supposed to be an easy, carefree weekend.  One of those rare weekends where spontaneity is possible because plans were not made ahead of time.  We could lounge on the couch, work on our hobbies, or even do a little shopping.  And, no, I'm not referring to the necessary evil of grocery shopping, but the much more enjoyable version where you get to buy things that actually make you happy. Because the oldest boy needed some pants and the youngest could use a new pair of shoes, I decided to head into the city to do some shopping at Kohl's.  Of course, my decision to shop there was not quite so altruistic.  Mama needed a new bathing suit! So, I pack the kids up and head into the city.  The youngest picks out his shoes . The oldest tries on a few pairs of jeans and ends up with two in the basket.  Did I mention we have to shop in the men's department now?  That he's wearing size 29?  My baby is growing up! Then it was Mom's ...

Looking for Willing Victims

I've decided I'd like to expand my photography skills and experience. This means I need willing models. So far I've got a couple of people who might be willing to let me practice on them. I'm excited but nervous. I want so badly to take amazing pictures and give them each something they like. Shoot #1: Mom wants me to take Christmas pictures of her three daughters. I'm very excited, but I also want a lovely background. I was thinking of taking them to a park or some other such setting where there's a lot of pines. The problem is that Fall has just arrived and these are supposed to be Christmas pictures. Any suggestions? Shoot #2: A senior. I think I'm okay on this one. She wants fall colors in her pictures, so I just need to wait for the trees to do their thing. Then its a matter of finding the right location. Now here's my real delimna: Where do I upload them so they can be printed to look like professional pictures? Rounded corners and im...

Camping with Little Boys

  Our first travel trailer. I don't remember camping much with my family as a kid. This is likely because we always had the same vacation destination: a family plot in Baldwin, MI. There was no cabin there. Instead, there were two structures: a small, silver camper and an old single-wide trailer. The silver camper is gone but the single-wide still sits there and is used by extended family members to this day.  It wasn't until I was a teenager that my step-mom and dad bought a pop-up trailer and we started camping elsewhere in the state. My memory isn't the greatest, but I'm almost certain they got the pop-up after I started dating Ken. Eventually, my parents upgraded to a fifth wheel that my dad still pulls around to various nearby camping spots. Ken, by contrast, didn't have a set vacation destination growing up. His family camped. They started out with a truck-bed camper, I believe, and eventually upgraded to a fifth wheel.  Ken and I vacationed both in Baldwin an...
