Fun Friday – What kind of accent do you have?

Okay – I couldn’t stay away today because I had to share this fun quiz with you that came by way of my BIL Peter! Here are my results which were spot on. Take the quiz for yourself to see how accurate it is. If you can’t see the quiz results below, you can cut and paste this link into your browser: http://gotoquiz.com/what_american_accent_do_you_have

Another way to tell a real New Yorker: Ask them to say, “There’s a flaw in the floor” and see how “flaw” and “floor” sound. They should not sound the same.

What American accent do you have? Your Result: The Northeast Judging by how you talk you are probably from north Jersey, New York City, Connecticut or Rhode Island. Chances are, if you are from New York City (and not those other places) people would probably be able to tell if they actually heard you speak.
Philadelphia
The Inland North
The Midland
The South
Boston
The West

Fun Friday – Fashion Night Out

It’s not often I get to play tourist in New York City, but tonight is one of those nights! Tonight is Fashion’s Night Out in NYC and I’m hoping we’ll be able to take in some of the sights since we also scored some discount tickets to THE ADDAMS FAMILY. (If you’re in the city on Sunday, you can catch the cast performing “Just Around The Corner” @ 11:30AM @ Broadway on Broadway In Times Square!)

It’s a treat since we’ve all been hard at work and need a little break. I also find these little mini-vacations quite creatively stimulating so I’m hoping they’ll help with the various revisions I’m doing as well as the assorted last minute details for the upcoming release of STRONGER THAN SIN.

If you’re in the area it’s not too late to do Fashion’s Night Out. Events start at 6 pm. and you can map out an itinerary by clicking here.

Hope you all have a wonderful weekend!

Fun Friday – Smileys

Who doesn’t like a Smiley? 🙄

Well, some do more than others, but in the online world, Smileys help us say when we’re 😥 or when we’re feeling 😈 or when we want to just be 😎 .

😆

Since I’m in a Romantic Suspense Writer mood, maybe I should be using some of these cool Smileys that I found at FreeSmileys.org.

Just a word of caution about Smileys and Emoticons, if you’re required to download any kind of software to get them, make sure you’re getting it from a reliable source. Some programs contain malware, while others have privacy and security issues.

Party Time with Hugh Jackman!

Now I thought that I had shared this with you before, but it doesn’t seem as if I did and even if I did, it’s worth a second look – Hugh Jackman party time with some iced tea! Iced tea?

Yep, this is a Japanese commercial for Lipton Iced Tea! Sit back and enjoy the sights of Hugh dancing his rather fine self across the tube!

Hope you all have a fun and glorious weekend!

Fast Food Friday!

I don’t know about you, but Fridays are typically Fast Food Fridays in my house. After a long week of work, it’s time to kick up our feet, forget the diet (ack – lifestyle change!) and relax! What better way than to allow someone else to do the cooking?

Most Fridays in the summer are Five Guys Fridays. Awesome burgers made fresh on the spot with your choice of 15 – yes FIFTEEN – free toppings you can put on your burger!

You’ve got your choice of Mayo, Relish, Onions, Lettuce, Pickles, Tomatoes, Grilled Onions, Grilled Mushrooms, Ketchup, Mustard, Jalapeno, Peppers, Green Peppers, A-1 Sauce, Bar-B-Q Sauce, or Hot Sauce.

Wish I could think up a jingle to rattle all those off.

And let’s not forget Five Guys Fries. Totally awesome. Fried in peanut oil.

You can become a Five Guys Fanatic and download some wallpapers at the site. I decided to bling mine with a little topping of Caridad! Hope they don’t mind.

What about you? What’s your favorite Friday night ritual to help you unwind from the stress of the week?
