FF~ What I Love About the Holidays

Moira — Fri, 09 Dec 2011 05:00:41 +0000

This blog is about to get crazy over the next week and a half or so as the Holidays near and some free online short stories are made available to you. And honestly, as this time of year is crazy for many of us, I find it even more so with the Zombie Twins having their birthday so close to Christmas (practically a week before). Anyhow, lets discuss my Friday Five… holiday style!

Christmas Movies! I’m a sucker for Holiday movies, and here are a few must sees in order for the Holiday to be complete: N.L.’s Christmas Vacation, A Christmas Story, White Christmas, and Polar Express
The Holidays mean yummy Starbuck’s coffee perfect to feed my addiction! A White Chocolate Peppermint Mocha or Caramel Brulee Latte usually do the trick for me.
Family & Traditions! Need I say more? There is a traditional Christmas Eve Open House that was started when my father was a little boy and he carries on that tradition today. Loads of work, yet oh so worth it.
Holiday Baking. Need I say more? There is nothing like putting together little baskets of homemade treats and giving them out to your friends. It has a way of spreading a little Holiday Cheer!
The excitement the Zombie Twins and all the other children have when the magic of Christmas is in the air. It is infectious even on our worst days.

May you be infected with the joy and magic of the Holidays!

A Very Zombie Holiday~

This is classic and brings a smile to my face every time I watch it.

A Zombie Love Song?

Moira — Thu, 10 Nov 2011 12:37:57 +0000

Yes one does exist. I know – you had no idea right? Me neither. A friend of mine was helping me brainstorm and he says, what about a zombie love story? To which I reply, there is nothing sexy or romantic about body parts falling off at inopportune moments. Plus, I could’ve sworn I’d heard of a zombie love story. So I did what anyone would do. I googled it. To my amazement, quite a few things came up, but the one thing that I didn’t expect were the zombie song videos that popped for youtube. Being the curious being I am, of course I clicked on the link which led me to videos of a zombified Taylor Swift wannabe which was kind of funny and this little video which gave me plenty o laughs….

Yep, there you go. Zombie video of the week. And yes, I did actually think of something to write. Just one more thing of many to throw on my writing to do list. Happy Thursday everyone!

Addictive Shows

Moira — Wed, 02 Nov 2011 03:53:41 +0000

I don’t have cable. A crime I know, but it was supposed to serve two purposes. Keep me from watching tons of television and save me money. However, I still sneak in a little television courtesy of Netflix. Usually means they have stuff a season or two behind. Addiction is still possible though. My two latest addictions are courtesy of one of brainstorming partners -

1. The Walking Dead

2. Sons of Anarchy

These shows definitely have their addictive qualities. Zombies and Bikers. Two totally opposite ends of the spectrum and I love em both. Talk about action packed and a bit gory. But it has everything. Romance. Betrayal.

Toe Tapping Tonight Tonight!

Thanks to a friend, I recently discovered this song. The lyrics crack me up and I can’t help but smile as I and sing it at the top of my lungs (in the privacy of my car of course). Happy Friday people!

Chasing Dreams~

Moira — Wed, 12 Oct 2011 02:37:27 +0000

Once you discover what your dream is, what would you do to achieve it? How long are you willing to pursue it? Is there something that would keep you from reaching that tasty sugar coated dream? I mean besides the brain eating zombies. Focus people.

Sometimes, it’s a matter of priorities. Where do your dreams rank among other things in your life? For me, the dream is pretty high up there. While I may not be blogging like crazy, I’m striving to achieve my dreams. Going to school to hone my craft while dealing with children and still working on novels is challenging at best, but will be so worth it in the end. I see the goal line and have every intention of reaching it. Nope dear readers, I’m just getting started, so stick around while I continue chasing my dreams. And while you’re hanging out with your Guinness or Triple Venti Irish Cream Latte, share your dreams and what you are doing to chase them down.

Priceless~

Thanks to Silke Juppenlatz, I can’t get this out of my head since she shared it the other day.

Life or Something Like it…

Moira — Thu, 07 Apr 2011 03:16:15 +0000

I think that is what it is called when zombie twins run a muck and your daily routine is turned upside down. But hey, all for a good cause right? Because what would the world be like if we weren’t living life, just merely spectators? I think we’d get bored. So that being said… what has yours truly been up to? Well we’ve acquired our first pet here. A nice Red-ear Slider aka Kailani the surf turtle, or as I sometimes refer to her as Princess Kailani. Yes I went there. I spent as much time choosing a name for the turtle as I do my characters.

Kailani

Hey where's the waves?

On top of that I got to go see Bon Jovi with some good friends and that was awesome! Got to play hostess to a jewelry show. Road in a super cool hot rod. Brainstormed a few story ideas, did laundry, scrubbed a kitchen floor, and washed some dishes. See who says a writers life isn’t exciting? Spring Break is coming up and I know the boys will be dying to be outside and not cooped up in a classroom all day. (Oh and let’s not forget the homework break as well.)

Before I stop my rambling for the day, I did want to remind you all to go play at the Passionate Critters Easter Egg Scavenger Hunt. Still lots of time left for you to participate!

FF~ Take Me Away

Moira — Fri, 11 Mar 2011 04:46:18 +0000

I have been day dreaming a lot about a vacation, in some exotic destination. Some place that might remind me a little about the beaches I spent some time on as a child. Or just a place that would allow me to have some much needed R&R. You know… the kind of place where your biggest decision was whether to have the cabana boy bring you a drink with or without the umbrella. Here are some places that are on my getaway list.

1. Bora Bora

2. Bali

3. Fiji

4. Maldives

5. Boracay Island

There you have it, five beach destinations that yours truly is looking forward to vacationing too at some point in her life. Do you have any must visit beaches on your list?

Go see what my fellow Friday Five partners in crime have on their lists.

FF~Pick Up Lines

Moira — Fri, 04 Mar 2011 07:00:31 +0000

This is one of those topics I can never get enough of. Probably because the pool is never full. So here are five random pick up lines most of which left me rolling my eyes and wondering if they ever work for anyone. Anyone brave enough to share?

You say “I bet you $20 I can kiss you without using my lips.” She says, “Bet’s on.” You kiss her then say, “I lost.”
I hope you know CPR, because you take my breath away.
I was blinded by your beauty so I’m going to need your name and number for insurance reasons.
Can I take a picture of you, so I can show Santa just what I want for Christmas.
What has 142 teeth and holds back the incredible hulk? My zipper.

I have to say, the only pickup lines I ever heard are pretty played out. The “Are your legs tired cause you’ve been running through my mind all day”, You – “Did it hurt”. The other person will naturally say “Did what hurt?”, You – “When you fell from heaven.”, and then “Excuse me, can you empty your pockets? I believe you have stolen my heart.” None of which worked.

Now run along and see what my fellow Passionate Critters have on their Friday Five lists.
