To Boldly Go Where No Romance Writer Has Gone Before…

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.

Fun Friday – Odd News

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.

Fun Friday – Christmas is almost here!

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!

Fun Friday – Holiday Traditions

Snowman Holiday TraditionsIt’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.

Fun Friday – New People and Places for You!

I’ve been participating in the Thursday 13 and also do the #FF on Twitter on Fridays. I thought it might be fun to start up a Fun Friday Meme and allow people to share their blogs, sites and other fun things with you and for you to share your favorite fun places, people or things!

So share yourself or your favorite things in the link down below.

The above photo is of my husband and me having fun chasing after the very popular Harry Potter at Station Platform 9 1/2!

Fun Friday – Go Elf Yourself!

Yes, it’s back and while I normally make it a point to not leap over Thanksgiving to get to Christmas, for some reason this year I find myself doing just that. Getting the e-mail announcement about ELF YOURSELF returning did not help.

So please pardon me for jumping the gun, but I just could not resist! Hope you enjoy this Fun Friday rendition of me having a little holiday fun, surfing style. Seemed somehow appropriate since both SINS OF THE FLESH and STRONGER THAN SIN are set down the Jersey Shore.
