Free Book Friday (with a side of Funny)
A FRIDAY FUNNY
Being a writer, words are very important to me. Today, I’d like to give you a little vocabulary lesson…
FREE BOOK FRIDAY
I’m feeling the love this month :jumping so every Friday from now until it’s release on April 1st, I’ll be giving away a signed copy of my brand new Harlequin Desire, ON THE VERGE OF I DO!

Winner will be announced during our Happy Sunday post on…well, you know, Sunday.
Winner is responsible for contacting me with her mailing information—i.e. I will not be contacting you—so be sure to check back in or you might not even know you won! :curses
(If prize isn’t claimed within 14 days, another name may be drawn or item may be tossed back into the goody bag to be re-used for a future giveaway.)

I took the first one seriously and thought that your choice was a tad strange, then I realized when we got to the “body” that these weren’t “real” school book examples….I need more caffeine.
About 20 years ago, I went with my father looking at cars. When the sales person popped the trunk the first words out of my mouth were “Wow! You could fit two bodies in there.” The salesman had a slightly worried look on his face. When you say stuff like that without thinking you know it’s time to put down the thrillers and mysteries and pick up a Heidi Betts’ book.

I should also mention my father immediately agreed with me and made an additional comment about how handy it would be. We’re a weird, weird family.

Heidi says:
LOL So glad we “gotcha” there for a minute. I love the little write-ups…they really do catch you by surprise.
That’s too funny about the car trunk. Totally something I would have said, too! Which is probably why I get so many strange looks, too. Oh, well. :twirl

:blowkiss Heidi I love your mind and the way it works. Happy FBF and have a fantastic weekend. My Rusty dog is at the vets again. SIGH
we may have to be making that sad decision again soon………….
Little Chance is growing and is a blessing. Take care. :muahaha
On March 9, 2012 at 5:12 pm
Heidi says:
Thanks, Cindy. So sorry to hear about Rusty, though. I lost two very close together a while back, too. That’s what happens when you adopt them close together & they’re about the same age…everything creeps up at the same time. :sick I’ll say a prayer, tho, & I’m so glad you have little Chance to keep things peppy. :kitty

Cindy Rushford says:
Thanks Heidi . I am glad I have my little Chance fella too. I know my heart will heal but it is danged hard in the meantime. You are a wonderful friend and I know you love your fur babies as I do . I remember when you lost your babies I felt very sad for you too. :blowkiss :kitty

I’m so glad it’s Friday! Especially since it’s FBF.
Gonna be a crazy weekend that I am not sure I have enough energy for.
Could really use an Irish Kilt right now!

You know where to find the recipe, Beth. Try not to drink too many, tho, unless you want to block out whatever you’re up to this weekend. :drinkup

update for you Heidi on My Rusty dog , he is still at the vets and looks like he will be until at least Monday. He was still vomiting this am, Vet is perplexed and says it might be a virus. Worried Mom. I have faith and know he will come home God willing. :kitty
On March 10, 2012 at 8:15 pm
Cindy Rushford says:
well Heidi it is Monday and my Rusty is still at the vets. Now they say they think the reason he is vomiting is his Pancreas.
🙁 sad sad Mom. Have a great Monday . Hugs.
