Welcome to my daily blog. If this is your first time, I'm a romance writer and a misplaced city girl currently living in the wild Sierras. I tend to have a lot of I-Love-Lucy moments that I share here but sometimes we talk about books, TV, and our favorite cookies. Okay, my favorite cookies. In any case, please feel free to comment by clicking on the Comments at the bottom of any entry. If you're too shy, that's okay, just know I love having you.

Can’t talk, fall TV is here

September 22, 2011 | Filed under: Stuff

What can I say, I’m a tv ‘ho. I’ve been waiting with impatience for this fall’s season for FOREVER.

Monday night I watched Two And A Half Men. I didn’t want to like it. I did. I also enjoyed Two Broke Girls. And Castle!!!!!

Tuesday night I inhaled Glee and The New Girl. Loved.

Wednesday night there was more inhaling. Survivor. And my absolute favorite: Criminal Minds.

I’m so happy. Tonight, The Big Bang Theory. Sunday night, Amazing Race.

Oh, fall. How I love you …

I know. Just think, if I applied all these hours toward something important. Probably I could run the world …

Or not.

What are you watching?

Ten Top Reasons To Go To Work Naked

September 21, 2011 | Filed under: Stuff

Tell me the truth, it was the word naked that brought you here, right? I was up late last night trying to come up with a blog for today and decided to go back in time, back five years through my archives, and post whatever I’d posted exactly five years ago today. And I wasn’t all that surprised to find I’d posted The Ten Top Reasons To Go To Work Naked. So without further ado, here’s a blast from my past:

Ten Top Reasons To Go To Work Naked:

1. Your boss is always yelling, “I wanna see your ass in here by 8:00!”

2. Can take advantage of computer monitor radiation to work on your tan.

3. “I’d love to chip in, but I left my wallet in my pants.”

4. To stop those creepy guys in Marketing from looking down your blouse.

5. You want to see if it’s like the dream.

6. So that with a little help from Muzak you can add “Exotic Dancer” to your exaggerated resume.

7. People stop stealing your pens after they’ve seen where you keep them.

8. Diverts attention from the fact that you also came to work drunk.

9. Gives “bad hair day” a whole new meaning.

10. No one steals your chair.

Update:
Winners, drawn randomly by random.org … #2, #45, and #71. Congrats! Email me with a book choice from my backlist, and don’t forget your snail mail.

Original Post:
Because I am a bad blogger mama, I forgot to name a winner from my last contest. Shame on me. Let’s try it again. Name the book the excerpt below is from. This is Jill’s world, so cheating is allowed:

Wade tilted the carton of fries up to his mouth, soaking up the last of the sun as it sank into the horizon. French fries and sunsets were God’s gift, he decided.

“I should have known.”

He looked up. And up. And up the best set of legs he’d ever had the pleasure of having wrapped around him. Which made him amend his thought. French fries were definitely God’s gift. But so were a woman’s legs.

And what those legs led to . . .

“You look like you just had really great sex,” Samamtha murmured, her eyes on his.

“You should know.”

She shook her head. “Why do you always circle back to that one bad decision? It was a long time ago, it meant nothing, and it’s never going to happen again.”

“Come down here and say that.” (more…)
