Happy Sunday
Happy Sunday, everyone! It’s back to being kind of warm outside, so I hope you’re all finding a way to stay cool while you enjoy this wonderful weekend.
As for me, I AM HAPPY to be finished with my “Dynasties: The Kincaids” novel for Harlequin Desire. Huge relief to have that puppy finished & know I’m no longer running behind.
(This is always a good thing, & I never, ever know if I’m going to be on time until I actually am…if that makes sense. :spikey )
I AM HAPPY I got a bit of a brainstorm concerning the plot of my next Harlequin Desire, too. (Though I’m going to sleep on that one a while, just to make sure it really is a good idea & not something dreamed up during a post-deadline haze.
)
I AM HAPPY I once again survived the 100 Mile Yard Sale. It gets harder every year, though, especially when it’s hot. I do not handle heat well. I think it’s my delicate Southern Belle disposition.
(Will be filling you in later with the deets. :cupcake )
I AM HAPPY that there are some really lovely people in the world, who are friendly & more than willing to help when you have a minor emergency while trekking around on the 100 Mile Yard sale. Even though it wasn’t their problem & they really didn’t have to. (I know—cryptic much? :que Just trust me; they saved my butt.)
And last but not least, I AM HAPPY with my yard sale treasures. Not much; nothing worthy of Antiques Roadshow, that’s for sure. But I found some fun stuff, which really does make me happy. And a few things for the kittehs, which makes them happy, too. :kittyplay
All right, your turn! What are you happy about or grateful for this fine July weekend? Go ahead & share… :picnic
And now to announce the winners from the past week’s giveaways!
First, we had “HER LITTLE SECRET, HIS HIDDEN HEIR Giveaway #1”. (Which implies a Giveaway #2, right? Keep watching, it’s coming. :howyoudoin )
Anyway, Giveaway #1 consists of an autographed copy of HER LITTLE SECRET, HIS HIDDEN HEIR, the movie Chocolat on DVD, & sweets baked by Yours Truly. :cookinme

:bigwow I am happy that I am the FBF winner.
I am happy I’ve gotten some really tasty blueberries this summer and the fabulous recipe my friend gave me for blueberry muffins turned out smashingly well. :cookin
I am grateful for Willis Haviland Carrier inventor of modern air conditioning. Without which I would be a big puddle of goo.

It’s been a rather craptastic week for me :angrychick (stupid menopause!!) But gonna try to find some happy….
Let’s see….oh I found the most magnificent shoes I want to order. Like now.
Oh, and I’ve decided to become a zoo docent (educator) and while that is going to require some time for class, studying and “interning” I’m really excited about it. The group they have now and were at our orientation were so much fun and welcoming. Now who wants to touch a snake (Hollie–get your mind out of the gutter! geesh!)?!? Bearded Dragon?!?! Ferret? Bird? (For those you that want to touch an animal/bug with more than 4 legs then you will have to see another docent).
I’m happy that school starts soon. My kids are bored. They need to go back.
Yeah, that’s about it. Congrats to Donna and Hollie!!! Donna–it’s a really good book!!
