The hubby and I finally watched the first episode of SUPERNATURAL last night. WOW! So we got it a little late, no surprise there... but it was well-worth the wait. I loved it! And the hubby actually loved it too! I'm the supernatural/paranormal fiend in this household, so it's go…

I truly do and there's only one more month left. :( Well, better make the most of it, huh? The sun's been very bright during the weekend -- love those blue skies! The weekend was very relaxing and cool. Saturday involved a lot of lazing around with hubby and daughter. I also start…

Another terrific Bombshell novel! The heroine is a CIA agent who throughout the novel isn't sure who she can trust. I swear this novel read like an action movie -- it should be made as one. Everything moves along pretty quickly and Alisha MacAleer is one tough butt-kicking chick who …

Yesterday was Australia Day and the hubby was home. We managed to pack in a lovely day full of walks, MarioKart DS, watched the first ep of Haibane Renmei, hung around and even squeezed in a lovely lamb roast with potatoes and gravy for dinner. Yum! Did TotalGym to end the night off - p…

Okay, so Jessica had this on her blog the other day and asked me to list mine. 1. Main character is almost always female. 2. Something paranormal/supernatural is always lurking about. 3. Usually have a love triangle going on. 4. Hero plays important part in the story, but it belongs to…

Ah, Cabbage Patch Kids ... every little girl wanted one in the 80s. And I was no exception! Here's a little bit about them from Wikipedia: The Cabbage Patch Kids were dolls produced from 1983-89 by Coleco. They had large, round vinyl heads and soft fabric bodies. T…

YAY! I didn't read any books during the weekend, choosing to spend any spare minute I had on my own MS... and it paid off! I just finished the final draft of ghost ! Very excited. Final word count was 84,512 -- 405 pages in 12 Courier font. I'm very happy with how the novel turned…

I was tagged a few days ago by Trish and have finally got my answers! What were you doing 10 years ago? I was single, working full-time in a superannuation office and still clubbing with friends. I was also 9 months away from meeting the wonderful man that became my husband. What were yo…

310 / 405 (76.5%) Not bad... almost there! :)

198 / 405 (48.8%) Much happier with today's progress! I was hoping to (at least) be up to page 300 by the end of tomorrow but it doesn't look like it's going to happen. Still, I'm not making that many changes -- just adding a few things here and there, while deleting other…

Well, I finally found the time to finish this wonderful book last night! *taking a deep breath after the brilliant ride* WOW! Dan Brown sure weaved a thrilling tale of intrigue, double crossing and puzzles with this book. It was like a treasure hunt for adults. As I approached the end …

144 / 405 (35.6%) Didn't get too much done today, but it was great progress. I'm totally into the storyline at the moment and things are getting worse for the characters. It's not good for them but good for me. LOL! It's still raining around here. Ugh! Where's the sun …

A little from Wikipedia : Degrassi Junior High is a Canadian television teen drama series that was produced from 1987-1989 as part of the Degrassi series. The show followed the lives of a group of students attending the titular fictional school. Many episodes tackled difficult issues…

Today's progress: 108 / 405 (26.7%) Moving slowly but steadily. It's actually a miracle I managed to do as much as I did today... considering I've spent most of the day going up and down the stairs to check on how the garage door was doing. I live in a block of units (or apart…

Well, after having a wonderful 3-day weekend with the hubby home, it's time to get back into the swing of things. It's a New Year! YAY! I hope everyone had nice celebrations. You all got things planned and outlined for this year already? We had a scorcher of a long weekend here in…
