Yes I feel the need to share Moira’s girl rules. They may seem basic, but here they are none the less.
1. New Heels are totally fab but should only be decorating your stems when the time wearing them will be limited. What good are those to die for shoes if they are hiding under the desk or if you are walking like the Bride of Frankenstein in them? So not cute! Screams look at me in all the wrong ways.
2. Having to take more than one shower in a day is nothing to whine or cry about. Well unless you are covered in mud and your latest haute de couture creation is reeking, wrecked, and/or ruined! Then I might be brought to tears just by hearing the tale!
3. Make-up and Hair is a must! You should always do these two things before leaving the house.
Um...I'm sorry what was the rule about the guy in 2C?
For you. Not so the guy in 2C will notice you. It makes you feel good about yourself that’s why. Okay for you and for the guy in 2C, but please do it for you first!
4. Never put yourself in a position to be called a tramp. One exception to this rule would be that you were sacrificing your own pristine reputation for world peace, but that is an extreme example and you must be REALLY good at what you do to solve a centuries old problem like World Peace.
5. Girlfriends are hard to come by. If you have even one that you can relate to, treasure that friendship more than a Tiffany’s bracelet. Trust me. This is coming from a girl who LOVES Tiffany’s.
That’s it. My Friday Five. Dedicated to the wonderful Sally, her new shoes, and the email which inspired this post.
Now run along and see what my fellow Passionate Critters have on their Friday Five lists.
Did I get your attention? Oh I sure hope so! Today’s post is short and sweet. Mostly because I am blogging over at The Sweet, the Bad, ‘n the Wicked today and am hoping you will pop over there for my rambling words. But I can’t not tempt you just a wee bit before you go.I give you Ryan Kwanten who portrays Jason Stackhouse on HBO’s True Blood. Drool if you must ladies, but he’s not one I’m sharing. Now go over to SBnW and see what I’m blogging about over there.
P.S. I promise to get back to my regular blogging routine soon. Wednesdays are always crazy hectic though because it is a double post day for yours truly. Well that and I’ve got a little somethin’ somethin’ in the works. Later and happy Wednesday!
You know, at the very least, once a week I have to rely on Netflix to brighten my day. Lately I’ve become a bit of a stand-up junkie. So here are the top five guys who make me laugh. Click on the picture to be whisked away to their websites. Just a word of warning… if little ones are around or you are sensitive to language or certain subject matters, don’t watch the videos on the sites. Some of these guys can be a little much for some people.
1. Dane Cook
2. Daniel Tosh
3. Arj Barker
4. Bo Burnham
5. Aries Spears
Who are some of your favorite comedic guys? Could always add more to my list so share! Also don’t forget to check out the Friday Five posts from my fellow critters!
I heart Alex Levine. He’s just nice eye candy no matter how you slice it. The tats definitely add to the appeal for sure, though you can see them better in other videos. Not a bad way to kick off a week in my opinion. So here we are…the beginning of another week. While I am on a field trip with Zombie twin number two, enjoy a little music courtesy of Maroon 5. More importantly, go out there and tackle your week head on. Oh and don’t forget to give a little more…
Yep, it’s that time again. Another round of Friday Five is mine for the taking. And boy am I going to have fun with it this week. Let’s see… my favorite non-writing hobbies. Yes I do consider writing not only a career but a hobby as well. Why? Well because it’s fun. Why are you questioning me?
So what are my favorite hobbies? Well let’s take a peek shall we?
1. Photography- I love taking pictures and I am not very particular on what my subjects are. Do I have a favorite in my arsenal? Of course I do.
2. Drawing. I love the feel of putting pencil to paper period. But creating smooth lines and seeing a picture form from those lines is pure bliss. (Unfortunately, the only piece I have is one that was done for my neice and is a recreation of a Disney print so I will not post due to copyrights and so forth.)
3. I fancy myself a baker when time permits and I make a wicked Baileys Irish Creme Cupcake oh and I’ve even made red velvet cookies which were quite the rave. This is truly an indulgence for me.
4. Reading. Yes you could argue that this related to writing, which it is in a way, but I read because I truly enjoy it. The eReader makes it easier because I can have an unlimited amount of shelf space, however truth be told, I will always buy my absolute favs in hardback if they are available.
5. Movies. Not going to the theater per say, but snuggling up on the couch with my kids and watching something they’d enjoy. Believe it or not, one can never see too much of Shrek if your kids are laughing hysterically beside you.
That’s it folks. My Friday five. Is it coincidence that some of these are yet another creative outlet? No. Honestly, people are creative in their own right. Sometimes we just need to explore different avenues to let ourselves shine. What are your favorite hobbies, and if you are a writer, you must stick to my non-writing related formula. Have a great weekend everyone but not before you go visit my fellow Friday Five friends.
I don’t know if any of you have seen this trailer but I am dying!!! This is a definite must see in theaters for me. The biggest part will be hoping it doesn’t disappoint. You know how it goes. Movie trailers are shown, you anticipate the theater arrival, you pay your hard earned cash, and walk out thinking that hour and a half to two hours is time you can’t get back. I am praying this won’t be the case because I am all giddy with excitement. If you haven’t seen the preview… take a peek.
Yes, it is that time of year when everyone says their goodbyes to the year and welcomes in a new year with resolutions. I for one, will not be making resolutions. Why? They don’t keep. Not in my world. Besides, how motivational is it to start every year with the same resolutions? I for one, am tired of looking back at the year and focusing on the things I didn’t accomplish. As I visit my friends around the blogging universe, I see that I am not the only one. Do I want to be thinner? Of course. Do I believe the resolution will get me there? Not on your life. After so many years of un-kept resolutions, I think it is high time this girl tosses her resolution habit. How does that New Year’s saying go? Oh yes, out with the old and in with the new.
So to usher in 2011, I am here by making a vow to look at this year with a new fervor. This year will yield great things. I can feel it. Whether those things will happen to me or those close to me, who’s to say. All I know is that they will happen. This is the year of positive thinking people. Careful because I think it’s contagious. Don’t worry. It’s not something that will send you into hiding. You want to catch this bug. I promise it will do us all a bit of good.
To my family, friends, acquaintances, fellow writers, and anyone else who happens to peruse this post, I wish you nothing but the best this year. May your dreams come to fruition, the evil green stuff multiply in your banks, and may you find whatever it is that your heart seeks. For now, I am going to seek the coffee pot. Then I am going to start cleaning up my writing space and sit down to make some real progress. Maybe put away the Christmas tree too while I’m at it. Let’s round this post out with a little music shall we? This is currently a favorite of mine. You have to love a sassy southern girl. Happy New Year!
I am very excited and can’t wait to share this free read with you all! Believe it should be up aeound noon PST. Just click on the image below to head over to The Samhellion where you can read a copy of Winter Kissed, my holiday free-read. Thanks again to Silke Juppenlatz for the fabulous cover art and to Nina Croft for her editing skills. I hope you all enjoy!
This is hilarious. I may be a day late and a dollar short here and am fairly sure this has made the rounds, but it still cracks me up. I saw this for the first time today on The Knight Agency blog after several intense minutes of hovering over their blog and waiting for the clock to roll over to 8am EST (more on that at SBnW). Thought I would share just in case. I think everyone knows someone like this guy. Enjoy. I am off to blog at The Sweet, the Bad, ‘n the Wicked. Stop on over!
Why yes… there really is such a thing. You don’t believe me go to the Zombie Research Society and check it out. That is right ladies and gents! I speak the truth. And to show my support… I am posting a video advertising the Zombie Haiku! Yes, everyone must indulge in haiku, especially when the living dead are involved. This book look hilarious and I plan on checking it out very very soon. Might even make a good gift idea for a fellow zombie lover.
1. New Heels are totally fab but should only be decorating your stems when the time wearing them will be limited. What good are those to die for shoes if they are hiding under the desk or if you are walking like the Bride of Frankenstein in them? So not cute! Screams look at me in all the wrong ways.
