It’s Friday! Can’t wait for the weekend! Going to get some writing done since I have some good news. I’ve been asked to be part of a vampire holiday anthology for HQN. Too exciting!! My story is about two vampires fighting over the life of a guardian angel and their own eternal souls on Christmas Eve. Having a blast writing it.
Here’s a little something to put a smile on your face this morning! Some fun Jack Russell terrier puppy antics.
Hope you all have good weekend. On Monday I am having a B’day Bash since it’s my birthday. I’ll be at the Philadelphia Flower Show, but drop by and leave a comment by midnight PST on Monday’s blog post for a chance to win a $25 B&N Gift Card!
The Discovery shuttle took off for the last time yesterday. It made me sad. So much has been sacrificed to make space travel possible. So many new things have been invented and made their way into the everyday thanks to our quest to explore space.
I remember growing up, imagining myself living in space or visiting another planet. When the first STARS WARS movie came out, my hubby/then boyfriend and I sat on line for hours to see the movie. Like me, he had grown up on a fare of science fiction and space movies and envisioned the future in space.
Well, NASA may be headed in directions other than space these days, but it’s still possible for me to imagine myself out there, isn’t it? So today I bring you, Caridad boldly going somewhere silly in a spoof from STAR WARS! If you can’t see the video below, please click here.
In the first odd news of the day, I woke up yesterday morning and had somehow been transported to Wisconsin. Yes, seventeen more inches of snow had fallen from Wednesday night to Thursday morning, blanketing the streets and homes in New Jersey. Adding another foot and a half to the mounds lining streets and my driveway. It is now official that I can barely see over those mounds to the street!
So sorry that I didn’t provide a blog yesterday, but part of the morning was spent shoveling out and then I worked from home so as to not fall too far behind at work.
And now for some more Odd News! If you cannot see the video below, you can click here to view it.

It’s always fun to be pleasantly surprised and today’s Fun Friday is just that. Watch what happens as a Hallelujah Chorus Flash Mob erupts at a local mall!

Saturday we went and chopped down our tree in our annual holiday tradition. The weather was brisk, but not too cold as we traipsed through the fields, searching for this year’s victim… I mean tree.
We went through a number of different evergreens, avoiding the kind that had drawn blood last year with incredibly prickly sharp needles. The white pines were looking a little yellow due to bouts of warmer weather the week before so we walked and walked, avoiding holes and stumps from prior years. Finally we found a patch of odd-looking pines. Some kind of cedar I suspect from the smell of the small round we cut from the end, another holiday tradition. Hubby has a box filled with a piece of the stump from every Christmas tree since my daughter was born, each one carefully labeled with the year.
After dragging it home on the roof of the Jeep, we set it up and began the decorating. As always half the lights were dead, so we ran out and bought some new LED bulbs. Very bright and they’re shaped like the old ones hubby and I remembered from when we were kids. Hopefully I won’t have to replace them again next year.
So today’s Fun Friday is a little video of our tree selection and decoration! Hope you all have a fun weekend!
It’s that time of year when I can’t stop thinking about all the fun and wonderful things that the holiday season brings. For me the best part of it is getting to spend time with my family. We always go and chop down our tree, play tourist in New York City and share Christmas Eve, Christmas and New Year’s Eve with family and friends.
Here’s a shot of my dining room, all ready for those family and friends!
How about you? What are some of your fun holiday traditions? What other fun things do you have happening today or over the weekend? Please share with us.
