Fun Friday – OMG! So glad it’s Friday

I don’t know about you, but it’s been a long and tiring week at the office and with the writing. Pulling double-duty on two jobs is a bear at times.

So to bring both you and me a little cheer today, here’s a link to some funny billboards:

I’m torn as to which is my favorite between the Speedo ad (and having seen more than one such sight on the beach this summer – BLECH) and the Farmer John billboard ad.

How about you? Which one did you think was the funniest? Have you seen any that you’d like to share with us?

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
 
North Central

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.
