Mid-Month Update for April

It's been a while since I've posted. Sorry about that. Things around here are crazy. I've been working hard on my newest book which is untitled at the moment. I've been doing book reviews like crazy as well as author interviews on my other blog, The Writing World.

I've been being a momma to one special little girl. I'm so proud of her. She's been making great grades in school and has been learning so much.

I wanted to do a little shout out:

Congratulations to my niece, Rae Lee Danielle !!!!! Her name is in today's paper for HIGH HONORS for the third nine-week grading period.

Congratulations to my daughter, Emma. She also made HIGH HONORS this grading period.

I'm proud of both of you. Keep up the GOOD WORK !!!!!

If you would like to keep in contact with me and you're a reader or writer, feel free to visit my writing facebook page. 

I do have a review coming up for a children's book on bullying. Keep your eyes open for it. I think this is a great one and it was fun to read with my daughter. (The million times she's asked me to read it and the number keeps getting higher.)

I'm still making progress on my wedding. Although I don't have pictures to post on it today. There are some things I can't due to the groom. He might see the post and well... as tradition says.. he can't see some of the stuff.

How's your weekend going? 

Mine is rather busy. I've been making great progress on my book, which I will be telling all my readers about soon on my writing blog and facebook. 

So there you have it. Our round about update. 

I'd love to hear some exciting news from you. If you have any to share, feel free to leave them in the comments below. 

Have a wonderful week!!!!

Wedding Progress Update #2

I'm back with a small update as to how everything is going for the wedding planning. As everyone who's read the last post knows, we are doing a punk theme and colors are hot pink and black.

We figured out a few more things that I can share with you. Such as the bridesmaids dresses and the flower girl dress. They will be personalized to our colors but it will give you an idea. So, here's the flower girl dress:

We are going to go the waist accented with hot pink instead of the ivory you see here. She'll carry a basket that is hot pink and black filled with hot pink and back rose pedals. Along with that, she's be wearing a pair of tennis shoes under neath that are also rep of the wedding colors.

Next is the bridesmaids dresses:

Once again with this one... under the breast area will be hot pink. Their accessories they've chosen will pop the punk. Along with flat shoes as well.


I do wish I could share my dress with you but seeing how I can't.... I will share my garter though...

Hope you enjoyed the peek inside our plans..... until next time... Happy Easter to you all.

Exciting and Stressful.... Who would have thought it??

I mentioned a while ago that my fiance and I set a date for our wedding. This I must confess has consumed a great bit of my time along with my blog for readers and writers. So, I found a few minutes to jump on here and share the plans so far with my awesome readers. At first, I had no clue how I wanted to do my wedding. I just picked two colors I though would be great with no great meaning to them. I began planning based on these colors. After about two months, I came to realize that I wanted a unique wedding. One that will stand out and be remembered because of the colors, theme, and small tid bits within.

So, my fiance and I began talking. We aren't your normal couple. We are know to always do things backwards or up side down if possible. So, why not do this with the wedding as well. So, we decided to add a theme and spice up the colors a bit. The first colors of choice was baby blue and baby pink... but this isn't us at all. Now the final colors are our favorite. Hot pink and black. I'm sure you can guess which color I like and which one he likes.

Then we decided that the frilly and pretty aspect that reminds you of a princess .... wasn't me either. So, our new theme is..... Punk!!! The idea's that my wedding party has thrown around brought about some awesome idea's. I'd like to share with you my plans from this point out with the wedding and then after we get back from our honeymoon, I'd love the chance to share my pictures with you.

How many of you would like to follow along with the details and share your thoughts??

Book Design- Silenced

Hey everyone,

I just finished up the first of several book cover designs I'm doing for my book. I wanted to share it with everyone and see what they think of it. So here it is:

So what do you think?

Who-ville Hair Day.....

  This week is Read Across America Week. Today is a rather fun day. Lil Miss's school sent home and event calendar where they asked the students to do different things each day. Well, today's event is Who-ville Hair day where all students are asked to wear their hair like a Who-ville citizen. I just loved the outcome of Lil Misses look and just had to share it with you. Take a look:

I loved this. It's so much fun but she wasn't impressed or excited.

I couldn't get her to wear a different pair of shoes.... but other then those... How do you think we did?

Emotional Basket Case

If you've been following along with my story, you know I recently got a full mouth of dentures. This process has been less then satisfying. I haven't wore them like I should. As a matter of fact, I really haven't worn them. Today's been the longest which has been six hours so far. I'm trying to keep them in until the adhesive gives.

At this point, most of the pain is gone. I was having bad pain with just placing them in my mouth. But I had an adjustment done yesterday. They feel a lot better. Although I think I may need to go back because I think they need to be adjusted again.

I'm not really sure how to feel about this. I want to look like myself again. But I feel I look different. Like weird, different. I was hoping for so much and I'm scared that I may be disappointed in the end. At this time, I really can't eat with them in.... and that's a shame because it's one of the reasons why I needed to get them. Even soft foods are difficult. In all honesty, it's really hard eating food you can't feel on the roof of your mouth. Drinking liquids aren't so hard. I've pretty much mastered that.

So, anyone with dentures....I have a question... How can I begin eating foods I love? I wanna eat a steak.. but have no idea how I'm going to get there.
