happy Sunday
Happy Sunday, everyone! I hope you all remembered to set your clocks ahead an hour for Daylight Saving Time. And ugh…can I just tell you how unhappy I am that we’re losing an hour this time around? Blech. :mad
But let’s do our best to rub the sleep from our eyes & focus on happy-happy things, shall we?
I am happy that it’s almost Spring! Yes, the recent resurgence of nasty winter weather has set us back a bit, but I still maintain that Spring is nearly here! I’ve even seen a couple of robins already…who must be kicking themselves for coming back to Pennsylvnia so early. LOL
I am happy that the cover for my June Harlequin Desire, HER LITTLE SECRET, HIS HIDDEN HEIR, has been touched-up just enough to make me love it! I can’t show it to you yet, but when I first saw it, the hero looked so darn young! Seriously, we are talking the-kid-who-mows-your-lawn, Lifetime-movie-Too-Young-to-be-a-Dad young. Harlequin agreed with me when I pointed that out, though, & did a little artistic magic to make the guy look…maybe not older, but more mature. I swear, I can’t figure out what the heck they did to change it, but it made all the difference & I absolutely love it now! The baby, especially, is too adorable for words. I can’t wait to share it with you!
I am happy that I got a sneak peek at the back cover copy for my October Kensington Brava, MUST LOVE VAMPIRES, & it is fabulous! (I’ll be sharing that soon, too! :dancing )
I am happy I got my revisions for MUST LOVE VAMPIRES finished & turned in, & they’ve been approved. Woot! (I just love getting things done & being able to cross them off my To Do list! :thumbsup )
And finally, I am happy to have all—well, most, anyway—of my annual doctor, dentist, & eyeball appointments out of the way. Yay!
Your turn! What are you happy & grateful for this week?
Now to announce the winner of this week’s Free Book Friday giveaway, The Ex-Girlfriends’ Club by Rhonda Nelson…
:dancing Mariee!!! :dancing

Sorry I’m late. I forgot to change my clocks!! :beerlaugh
Good week for me here! (well other than my 2 day headache–but that is because of not drinking caffeine early enough in the day yesterday and then a two and half hour car drive and then sitting in a gym for 5 hours and then a two and half hour car drive home…..)
Anyway–I’m happy because B’girl was 6th in All Around at her state meet for level 5 gymnasts yesterday! It was her first year and she just did awesome. I’m so proud of her. There were 47 girls in her age group and she placed in the top 10 in 3 of 4 events and that one she didn’t place in she improved her score a lot! Her best event was beam (weird how that is not one of her favorite events) and she was 3rd! Our girls for that age group placed 1st as a team.
Got a new baby….Phoebe. She’s so cute!! And she is getting along nicely with her sisters.
Also got to see pictures of my boss’s daughter and her new family members. They adopted 2 kids from Ethiopia and have finally brought them home. They are so beautiful and I’m so happy for their family. I cried a little looking at the pictures. It was happy tears though. It was a long wait.

Congrats on all the other good news, too! I love that we get together & share positive stuff here every week!

:brava Hollie!
And if we—or at least I—lived in CA, I’d be making a Terminator joke right about now. Something about our poo,r lost DST hour saying, “I’ll be back.”
Yes, I know…groooooan. :faint

Hollie….I’ve lived with the DST change forever. You don’t get used to it, but that extra hour in the summer is AWESOME!!!

Hey guys! Congrats, Mariee!
I am happpppppppppy that Roma won today [especially after the Tuesday game and the shitstorm fallout].
I am also happy that I’m getting more interviews and I have a good feeling things will change soon.

Heidi!! Thank you very much for the Vday goodies! I just arrived back home from my Spring Break to find my second boyfriend waiting patiently by the door!!! It’s awesome! My number 1 bf thanks you for the chocolates :blowkiss Thanks again and Happy Sunday to all!

Heidi says:
Oh, yay—so glad everything arrived safely. It wasn’t easy to find a box the right shape & size for that one. :crazy That’s actually one of the things that makes holding giveaways tough…oh, I’ll give stuff away, but you gotta be really patient while I work to get the goodies in the mail. LOL
And I hope the chocolate keeps BF#1 occupied while you fool around with BF#2. Might I recommend taking him in the tub with you? :beerlaugh (Hey, you need water to make him grow! It sounds completely plausible—& environmentally thoughtful—to me. :tpspspspt )
