Look what just arrived from Editor C…

He says the Emergency Chocolate is because I’ve been “having a rough time of it lately.” :patrick2

I say it’s because he wants to soften the blow of the w-o-r-k he just sent me. :evilmonkey

The upside is that this is w-o-r-k for my November Harlequin Desire, SECRETS, LIES & LULLABIES.  And the sooner we get all of this heavy lifting out of the way, the sooner the book will be ready & on the shelves! :chickendance

I’ve got a new obsession, & it’s something you would never even think existed.  But somebody put their Brilliant Ideas thinking cap on & came up with a winner! :chickendance

You like chocolate, right?

And you like chips?

Then you are going to LOVE chocolate chips.

But not the kind you’re thinking of!  Not the Nestle Tollhouse bittersweet chocolate kind you bake into cookies. :scratchhead

Uh-uh.  We’re talking chocolate tortilla chips.  Like Tostitos & chocolate chips mixed together.  And they are yuuuuuuummmmm. :cool

You don’t have to take my word for it, though.  Find some of your own, & then tell me how many chips—or how many bags—you had to go through before you decided these were the best thing since chocolate itself was invented. :howyoudoin

Happy Sunday!  Hope you’re having a great weekend & are looking forward to an even better week!

This week, I AM HAPPY that the 4th of July fireworks are over! Ohmigosh, do I hate those!  It wouldn’t be so bad if they set them off only the one day, but when they start a full two weeks early & set them off every single night, I just want to go out there shove them where the sun don’t shine, y’know?  Not only are they annoying—& the really loud ones make me jump every damn time —but they scare the crap out of The Kittehs & I do not handle it well when something bothers my cats. :evilmonkey

I AM HAPPY that I got a new back cover blurb for my November Harlequin Desire, SECRETS, LIES & LULLABIES.  Did you see it?  If not, you can read it on the book page I created for the book here on HeidiBetts.com.  No cover yet, but the blurb is there, & it’s really good.

I AM HAPPY that we recently got a free HBO preview weekend, & I was able to record a bunch of movies to watch on the Torture Cycle.  (I’m even happier that I was actually able to keep up without my DVR running out of space.  That was a minor miracle, really. :angel )  So far, I’ve watched The Hangover 2, Your Highness, Legion, Priest, & When in Rome.

And I recorded the final two Harry Potter movies, too.  I’ve actually got them on DVD, but thought it would be easier to watch them this way.  The problem is, I don’t remember the previous movie—Half-Blood Prince, I think—so I’m waiting to catch that on one of ABCFamily’s infamous Harry Potter weekends.  Then I can watch the last two parts of the series.

Finally, I AM HAPPY to have discovered a great new pet supply website called Wag.com.  I only checked them out because I got a coupon in the mail.  I certainly didn’t need anything.  But then I discovered that they carry several items I’ve been looking for for a really long time…at pretty decent prices.  I was able to get two refillable incline scratchers (plastic base, takes cardboard inserts), dental chews, & a bunch of snackies.  The Kittehs are delighted, & so am I!

If anybody is interested in checking them out, they carry items for dogs, cats, birds, fish, reptiles, & other small animals.  And if you use the Promotional Code HAB46785, you’ll not only receive 10% off your first order, but Wag.com will donate up to $25 to the Best Friends Animal Society.  How’s that for an awesome incentive? :patrick

Allrighty!  That’s just about all the happiness I can stand. :happysun   How about you?  Tell us what great stuff is going on in your life this week, so we can do a little happy dance with you. :chickendance
