Happy Friday!!

Ran around like a fiend all day and now I’m getting ready for our excellent chapter meeting of the First Coast Romance Writers.  We’re flying Marcela Landres, an editor from NY, in to speak to the chapter and we’re really looking forward to it!

Off to fold laundry, prepare for meeting, and watch ep 1 of Joss Whedon’s new Doll House.  Can’t wait!  Joss is the Master.

Hugs,

Alyssa

Random thoughts and Kryptonite

I'm guest blogging at Romancing the Blog on why I need Kryptonite. Stop by HERE if you get a chance!

10-second tale: Hole in roof! Boo! Water damage! Boo! Insurance adjustor comes right away! Yay! Contractor comes right away! Yay! Roofers and painters here all day tomorrow! Boo! But all done in one day! Yay!

Got darling son his first pair of contacts today. WHY is it fair for 11 y.o. boy to have 3-foot long eyelashes??

Lovely editor LOVED new ending for Alexios. Yay!

Off to play in Brennan's world for another chapter, since today went down the crazy hole of errands/roofing.

hugs,
Alyssa

ps Please send any healing thoughts and/or prayers to Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, one of my personal heroes. She's facing cancer again. Her work for women's rights paved the way for so many things we take for granted today. She's a tiny woman with an enormous brain and tremendous talent and my thoughts and prayers are with her and her family as she takes on yet another challenge.

I say we call for a boycott

Worst commercial in the Super Bowl HERE.

Never, ever ordering from Teleflora. Ever. Because, REALLY???? No, I mean, REALLY???? Because we live in the 1950s again and women don't order flowers? Women who don't particularly want to be insulted in such a crude, sexist, misogynistic way??? Oh, and wait -- women who read ROMANCE NOVELS???? Screw 'em. Let's boycott the asshats.

Crazy week, back to Brennan

It was a catch-up week here; dogs to vet, son to eye doc, etc. etc. So I'm happily ignoring Mt. Laundry and ensconced in my office with Ghirardelli chocolate peanut butter squares and a fresh mug of coffee so I can dive back into Brennan's story. I've got so much swirling around in my mind on 3 different books that I wish I could write 18 hours a day!! Hope you're all having a lovely weekend. We're planning to watch the Super Bowl, but only for the commercials! LOL. We only care about college football (Go Buckeyes!)
May you have lovely half-time food while rocking out with Bruce.
hugs,
