Friday Fill-ins: October 16th

And...here we go!

1. So are we going to the Fall Festival in Coconut Creek or the Chinese Buffet tonight?

2. Editing and more editing is what's up ahead. I have two edits to do this weekend. I'm afraid to look at my email to see if there are more edits.

3. I love to spend time with my husband (he's so busy it's not been happening lately) and eat sushi - will do both tonight.

4.  I want to do exercise this weekend (probably walking and swimming) of some sort.

5. I walk a little late, but I used to walk an hour or more a day. I want to start doing that again.

6. Water is the true elixir of life!

7. And as for the weekend, tonight I'm looking forward to spending time with my hubby tonight, tomorrow my plans include editing while I'm at my daughter's softball practice, then stop at a local crafts fair, go to the gym to swim and walk on the treadmill, then more editing, and Sunday, I want to sleep in late as my daughter's softball tournament games aren't till late in the afternoon. Of course I will also write while I'm watching my daughter's games.

I don't know about you, but I love Fall. Unfortunately, there's not much of it in South Florida. Day times are still sweltering in the 90's. We don't get the lovely change of color cooler climates enjoy. But usually there's still a nip in the air and the spirit of autumn, harvest, and Halloween is in the air.

I miss Cincinnati in October, too, because of Octoberfest. Cincinnati shuts down its downtown to traffic and has the best Octoberfest in the US. If you're new to my blog, I'm from Cincinnati although I've lived in South Florida for twenty years and in Southern Mississippi for almost ten years before that.

Autumn colors are pretty so I like the crafts.  I do a lot of my Christmas shopping at crafts fairs. At least I'd like to. Depending how much time I spend at the craft fair tomorrow will decide if I have time to go to the gym, too. I HAVE TO EDIT!

Submissive Dreams Review

I love it when I open my mail and get a present, especially when it's not even my birthday, Christmas, or Valentine's Day. But I sure got a good one today. It was this review by Victoria at Two Lips Reviews. Ms. Ladd sure knows how to kick the BDSM tension up a notch when these three engage in a delightful ménage. Submissive Dreams is easily one of the best BDSM stories I’ve read this year, full of lots of steamy sex and snappy dialogue.

Thanks Victoria! I'm so glad you liked Submissive Dreams. Aren't those chili peppers so adorable? The lips are pretty darned awesome, too. Especially FIVE of them. Woohoo! Can you tell I'm pumped? Just in case you can't, I am.

Yes, ALL weekend, Friday, Saturday, and most of Sunday. My daughter was invited to play in the Rising Starz softball tournament where college scouts offer scholarships. As far as I know, she's not going to be offered one. Maybe next time. Or maybe the offers come after the weekend. She had fun and I got a LOT of writing done. I finished my MFM story due for TEB. And I got 3,000 + words into my next TEB story. I had enough energy Sunday since we got out early to whip my MFM into shape and send it off to my TEB editor. It was so nice sitting outside at the softball game (except for last night when 4 or 5 smokers sent me into an asthma attack), watching the girls play. The weather down here in South Florida is absolutely awesome and during the day we actually get hot. In the evening and early morning we only need a sweatshirt or jacket. As I mentioned above I did double duty and did the mom thing and the writing thing simultaneously. No guilt for once. Trying to be "Super Mom" can bring on a lot of guilt, not that I like that terrible title. I doubt I would've spent my long weekend off the day job at the softball games without this incentive, but it was really really nice. I did more writing than I probably would have if I had been elsewhere. The asthma attack surprised me. I've had a couple in my life, but that was the worst. I was infuriated that those people were smoking in a place where no smoking was allowed, right around kids, even when I was coughing and could hardly breathe. I don't care if people want to smoke in their cars or in their homes or their own yards as long as their smoke isn't drifting into my yard, into my face, but in a place with a lot of other people isn't cool. I almost had to leave my daughter's tournament because of it. Then my husband would have had to drive her back home - almost a 2 hour round trip because he was the umpire in charge of one of the fields and had planned to stay overnight as he had to start so early and do so much work. When I did get home, I had to take a breathing treatment on my son's breathing machine. The inhaler my husband let me borrow at the field only helped minutely. Okay. Rant done.
