About This Author

Contact Me

I am a 40 year old married mother of two teenage boys. I live for writing, especially romance. Love the happily ever after scenerio. The best thing about writing for me is the ability to lose yourself in your work, and feel as if you've accomplished something great. At the end of the day, that's all that really matters.

Poisoned Purple Pen

She sat down at her old wooden desk, pen at the ready. Her thoughts raced. What shall I write today? Tilting her head to the side, a small smile tugged at the corner of her mouth before enveloping her delicate face. The purple ink began to fill the once blank sheet, each stroke a labor of pure joy as the words flowed from her mind, her heart, her very soul.

My Dreams...

to write of romance and endless love
to love without boundaries
to learn from past mistakes
to laugh with all my heart
to be the woman I am meant to be

TODAY...

I will reach for the stars

Will not give up

Will give all that I have

Dare to dream the impossible dream

For anything in this life is possible

<---I am blown away by this

WellT T, firstly, you can keep that snow. Luckily here in my part of the UK we don't get much usually.

Now, I know you're hurting, but there is a little upside of not being able to work or do the normal stuff, and that is it should allow you a bit more creative time to do some writing, No?

It appears you haven't got your fix of Bond, but as you know, Sci the Spy is always lurking lol.

I do hope you and yours have a very merry Chrishtmas and a wonderful new year.

We had our first snowfall of the year here last night. The forecast was 'a coating to an inch' - and coating barely sufficed. it was weird to see the neighboring roofs painted white, but nothing on my back lawn except along the western fence line. It's all gone now, of course, but more's coming. Skinned knees and elbows are always problematic, since you use them to do almost everything, so there's little respite. Take care of yourself as best you can, and thank God for your live-at-home son.

Ouch! That hurtle through the air didn't hurt it was the sudden , aggressive stop on concrete. I hope you heal quickly and without further injury.

Day-am, Miss T! You certainly know how to move your man.

Hoping that a little humor helps alleviate your pain, and that you get better soon.

Aches, Pains, and Flu

Thank you Sciwriter , Winter Wonderin' Wanderin' , JACE and Lazy Writer est 4/24/2008 for the well wishes. I need them

I'm healing. SLOWLY. Knees and elbows; by Tuesday, my neck and shoulders were sore. Every time I see that video of me flying across the back room, I cringe. It seriously looks like someone picked me up and tossed me like a sack of potatoes. My biggest problem: I'm always on the go doing something, and right now, sitting is painful. Bending the knees, pain. Showering was an absolute nightmare. My knees swelled, and the soap hitting the torn skin had me almost in tears. Those spots still burn.

Thank God my youngest still lives at home because I only lasted a few hours at work on Tuesday and needed help around the house.

I am the host for all family holidays, so the timing sucked. We were short four this year. Miss Kaia picked up Influenza A at pre-school and brought it home on Monday. By Wednesday, she was super sick, so Thanksgiving was out. I did manage to send them food, so they didn't have to cook, and they got to enjoy Turkey and all the trimmings.

Unfortunately, that meant the baby caught it, and they were at the ER last night. Kaia came here, so now there's a chance we will all get it. I'm hoping not since she no longer had a fever, but as I tend to catch everything that goes around, I'm not going to hold my breath.

Our first snow is happening now; it's practically a whiteout. I don't see how I can shovel, which I love doing. There's something magical about the first snowfall, being outside in the morning, and taking it all in before the neighborhood comes alive. And I'm going to miss that!

I get that I need to take care of myself, and I'm trying.

My knees are burning, so I'm off to ice them. Again.

Oh, and what the hell happened to four days of non-stop Bond action on Thanksgiving weekend? T needs Bond, James Bond, to get through the body aches and pains, damn it

Oh, Monday

Man. I was so excited that I only had to write 1,000 words to hit 50k for Nano.

At work, and few customers and I were joking about it being a total Monday. Weird technical glitches, a few other random issues, but nothing major.

Until, my Pepsi rep arrived. I went to the back to see what I needed to order. I grabbed a case that was missing in the cooler. My toe hit a case of smart water on the floor, and I literally went flying through the air, at least 4 feet, crashed into a chair that was stopped by another chair and ended up on all fours in front of my husbands desk.

I've never seen that man move so damn fast. Freaked him out big time. Needless to say, I'm at home with 4 ice packs, both elbows and knees.

The bruising from landing on cement is insane.

This is not how I expect to get through Thanksgiving week.
