vBlog and Chats (xPost)

Hi all,

I just published my very first video blog on Tuesday! Yay! It's over at my website -- Click Here

But in addition, me and as many authors as can make it from the Holiday Hottie contest will all be chatting live at both the Ellora's Cave and the Samhain Cafe reader loops. In addition to closing out the Holiday Hottie contest so we can announce the grand prize winners, we'll also be doing some contests, recipe swaps, jokes and just plain ole fun.

When: December 19, 2009
Time: 6:00pm to 9:00pm EST
Where: Ellora's Cave and Samhain Cafe Yahoo groups

Now...go check out my first vBlog! And no laughing...on second thought do laugh because I'm just plain silly ;D

Can You Tell?

A good friend of mine is a professional dancer. When she's not traveling, she enjoys kicking back and hanging with friends. She sent me some pictures yesterday with a challenge regarding all these lovely ladies - her challenge? CAN YOU TELL WHICH ONE IS A MAN?

My first reaction was, "Say what?" Then I took a look at the photos and was like, wow! Every picture was of an absolutely gorgeous female...or was it? And more important, how the hell did they do that? Every one of them looks better than me on my best day at work! As for make-up, it's so well done I'm actually jealous. Damn it.

So, can you tell which person is really a male?

Coming Up Fast!

Now this is rare - I can't think of a single thing to talk about. It's strange for me, considering I ALWAYS seem to have something to say about any- and everything.

Oh, wait! I just thought of something - CHRISTIMAS! I'll be hosting a HOLIDAY HOTTIES chat on the Samhain Cafe loop in December, so don't miss it.

Can you believe that I'm usually done with all my Christmas shopping by November 30th. Why? Because after December 1st, this sistah ain't going to the mall. There are crazy little old ladies who will fist fight you over the latest sale item at the mall! And if there are things like fuzzy bunny slippers on sale RUN FOR YOUR LIFE!

Now I'm thinking about what I want this year. Usually I buy myself a piece of jewelry. Last year my kids totally shocked me - they bought me a sterling silver and diamond filigree ring, a mini-humidor for whenever I feel like indulging in the every-blue-moon grape flavored cigar (think Egyptian Voyage!), and several items that I can use in my grill (I just love grilling! I am the queen of the grill all year 'round). I bawled like a baby because I'm usually the one giving gifts rather than receiving them. My kids are so cool.

The holidays are just around the corner - what do you want for the holidays? Me - I'll take a wild fling with a gorgeous hunk! Say...Mr. 300 himself-Gerard Butler! Wait...is he married? I don't think so, but just in case I'll have to think of some others. Let me see... *wink*
