I live in the country and get lots of ‘em. It sucks. Tonight I’m minding my own business at my computer not writing anything whatsoever and the biggest fly I’ve ever seen buzzed over and landed right on the corner of my monitor. Worked his little front legs over his face like he was settling in for the long night.
Uh no. I rolled up my latest issue of RWR and swatted him dead. Nice.
And for whatever reason there are some pretty large spiders hanging out in our house. I kill multiples every day. It’s pretty gross.
Yes, we have pest control, but lately they suck. You have to call them to get them to come out and spray. I think I need to hire a new service.
We have a ton of frogs who live on our back patio so they help cut down on our bug population as well as pest control, but it’s just not enough.
This has nothing to do with writing but I couldn’t help but blog about it. The little boogers hang around my lamp at my desk every night so I thought I would pay homage to them.
How freakin’ sad is that?

I got word of my release date tonight.
Release Me will be available August 4th at Cobblestone Press!
Here’s a blurb:
Sommer vows to take control of her orgasms – and ends up having lots of them on her desk with the IT guy! Ted wants everything she’s willing to give and more, but will the sparks they share be enough to overcome his secret?
Needless to say, this is a pretty steamy story. So here goes my new career as a romantica author.
Whoo-hoo!

I changed it - I don’t know if I like it. And I jacked up my picture, need to redo it. Hell, I need a new pic, period.
What do y’all think? Too dark? Just plain too freaky? It’s surprisingly easy to change the blog skin, so if you hate it (I’m still on the fence), tell me and I’ll change it up!
Thanks

I happen to like it. I don’t understand why men shave their chests. Well, I do understand I guess but I don’t really like it. They want to show off their muscles, they think chest hair is “unclean.” It’s like some new trend or something.
Now I like a hairy chest, but it has to be medium hairy. Not too crazy, not too thick.
The reason I wanted to blog about this topic? Check out this guy!
This picture doesn’t do it justice. He just got engaged to one of the women from “Grey’s Anatomy.” He has the freakin’ hairiest chest I’ve ever seen, and I’ve only seen the peek of hair coming out of his shirt! That thing looks like a thick rug! It looks CRAZY! If he held me close to his naked chest, I’m afraid I would choke and die!
Ok. Enough said. What’s the opinion on men’s chests - hair or no hair?

My picture of Mr. Bean in his underwear violated photobucket’s term of service. That is AWESOME!
Hmm, wonder if my other picture is gonna get banned next??

Hi, my name is Karen and I’m addicted to classic easy listening music.
Yes, I have a serious problem. Lately I have been waxing nostalgic over classic tunes that make me feel like a kid again.
The first serious sign of trouble was my quest to find anything by Ambrosia. I have to admit, I didn’t even know who sang the song I was thinking of - “You’re the Only Woman.” I personally thought the Little River Band sang it (they are my next quest by the way). I punched in the title of the song and came up with a fantastic list of Ambrosia songs on iTunes. I could’ve gone crazy, but I only bought three. And listen to them over and over again.
Also a big Supertramp fan (friend of mine in junior high called them Wonderslut - get it? Always thought that was funny). Have their greatest hits CD. Mmm, hmm, nothing better than listening to “The Long Way Home.”
Early Billy Joel. For whatever reason, “Big Shot” is like my favorite song right now. What, I was like 9 when that song came out or something? I don’t know, but it’s good stuff. Before he started singing all that doo-wop crap.
The Eagles are always good, and I’ve been listening to the slower stuff - two great ones are “I Can’t Tell You Why,” and “New Kid in Town.” Easy listening baby, easy listening!
But then I’ll bust out some old Aaliyah, Missy Elliott, Depeche Mode and some trance song I found on someone’s myspace that I listen to over and over again. I’ve been enjoying a real mixed bag to say the least.
I know Julie just blogged about her music tastes, and she had quite the varied list too. Anybody else want to share their music choices?

Ok, I promised a new picture cos I had trouble posting the one yesterday and the pic is just not large enough to get the full impact of that firm backside so here’s another one for your viewing pleasure:
I was cruising a site with all kinds of hunky man pictures and they threw this one into the middle of it! Hilarious!
Enjoy.

I thought I would take a cue from my friend April who posted a pic of a half naked hot dude on her blog recently.
So here you go! Another gift for the weekend - I’m going to make this a weekly tradition for all to enjoy.
Sorry the pic is so small, though. When I posted it earlier at its original size it messed up my entire page! Grrrrrrrr…
Edit - Ok I fixed the picture cos it kept shrinking and shrinking and shrinking…no wonder Julie didn’t know what the hell it was!

So Big Brother is having their big vote right now and Mr. Inspiration for my Blaze has another shot at being on my TV all summer long (well as long as he can last before he gets his butt voted off, something he did not only once but twice last season. Dork.), so I thought I would promote him on my blog. Especially because he’s just damn cute in this picture too.
Ok, and so I added Janelle on here too. His partner out of circumstance last summer, one of the best players I’ve ever seen of the game, truly. And I have to admit this, the inspiration behind my heroine for my Blaze too!
So cliche, but you should have seen the chemistry between these two last summer on the live feeds! There was so much of it you could practically see the sparks in the air. But alas, it wasn’t meant to be. First of all, she hooked up with his friend and original partner, Mike who was a real slime. Who got voted off rather quickly. So Kaysar and Janelle came together, hung out, became good friends. She pretty much admitted if he would’ve made a move first, she would’ve been receptive. He blew it! He admitted he blew it!
But he wouldn’t overstep the boundaries, didn’t want to take what was already taken, by his friend no less. They had too many differences anyway, and probably would’ve never worked out.
They worked out in my book though. Made my own happy ending.
See why I’m so lame?
If you get a chance, vote for these two. They’re awesome!

I’m getting a website as we speak. I’m excited - it’s gonna look awesome. Want to check it out? It’s not ready yet but you can get a preview of the main page by going to:
Yeah baby! This is exciting. Well, at least for me.
Ok, I need to seriously write today. Company is leaving this morning. Husband is home and said he would watch the kids so I could get some major writing time in. Wish me luck.
How’s everyone’s writing progress, by the way? Chugging along? I hope so, I need some inspiration!
