The Dynamic Trio - Blog

I’m in a weird mood. Tired. But energized. I have a bit of a headache, but still am tempted to go run around in the (yet again) almost 100-degree weather. I have the urge to do a bunch of housework…but don’t want to do any. I’m just all mixed up! But not…LOL!

Oh, and Hatsept Heat is available for the Kindle! I’m so stoked! Also, the first two Vampire Council of Ethics books just appeared there. And they have this neat little ‘Free Sample’ thing where you can check out the book before you buy it. Now is that cool or what?

And now I’m hungry, but not sure what I want to eat, so I think this ‘What Food Are You’ quiz is perfect. I’m Sushi!

You Are Japanese Food

Strange yet delicious. Contrary to popular belief, you’re not always eaten raw.

Also, if you haven’t been to listen to the radio show I did with Mandy Roth and Michelle Pillow, be sure to check it out. And if course I mentioned my girls, SHELLEY and LAUREN! Why? Cause they RAWK!

With Hatsept Heat coming on Tuesday, needless to say I went to sleep thinking about it. And after waking from the most delicious and decadent dream of me and a vamp right out of the pages of one of my Vampire Council of Ethics books, I rolled over in appreciation of air conditioning and thought…what the hell was I thinking to book a vacation in Florida in July? My god, it’s so freakin’ hot here I swear I’m tempted to put ice down my drawers just to cool off a bit.

Unfortunately my daughter got sick yesterday. We think it’s something she ate the day before, but he poor thing was throwing up and had a high fever. I’m glad she’s cool this morning because last night she was so hot I was concerned we’d have to take her to a hospital, which is no fun when you’re AT home, let alone AWAY from home in a city you’re not familiar with.

I’m getting ready to run to the airport to pick up a friend of mine I haven’t seen in years. She’s lives on this coast in South Carolina so she’s flying down to hang out with us for a couple of days. My kids are WAY excited to see her again. If I can talk her into taking some picture I’ll put them up when I get home. Oh, and want to hear the dumbest thing ever? We’re on vacation and NONE of us brought a camera, so we’re reduced to using the ones on our phones. LOL!

See you later,

TJ

PS - Thank you to all of you who sent me notes after reading the TJ On A Tangent newsletter. This has been a really challenging half-a-year for me. I’m looking forward to the second half with some serious renewed hope ;D

First, just a reminder that TJ On A Tanger is going out on Tuesday with all new content, including an excerpt from CARAMEL KISSES that’s not even up on my website yet.

Now…to what’s new in my world: Not much ;D

Not much happening today. My kids had a friend spend the night last night, and since they’re older I didn’t have to do anything other than hand over my credit card so they could order enough pizza and soda to choke a hippo. This morning we got up and went to the Egg and I. Do you have one of those franchises in your town? I LOVE The Egg and I. It feels like you went to have breakfast at your favorite aunt’s house. I used to like going to the Cracker Barrel for Sunday breakfast, but it’s not as down-homey. The food is, but the atmosphere isn’t - too big inside. More warehouse-like than Aunt Mary’s kitchen-n-comfort, you know?

After breakfast (which didn’t happen until after noon sometime) my kid’s friend drove to their destination and we came on home. Within ten minutes of walking into our house I had the kids pulling weeds - boy did THAT go over well! ROFL!

And now I’m sitting upstairs typing this blog entry and ready to throw my brand new laptop up against the wall! It’s got this Microsoft Vista crap on it, and the damned thing installed some updates, then restarted the machine BY ITSELF! It didn’t even give me an option of restarting later. Nooo-ho-ho, the thing did it’s own thing which means I’m pissed because I lost what I was working on. Including this blog post which I’ve now had to type twice.

I am getting excited about vacation next week. We’re heading back to Florida - God, I must have been crazy booking a vacation in Florida in the middle of July. I’m going to be nothing but a big melted puddle of woman. And not in the sexy “Oh baby” way, either.

But for now, it’s Sunday and I’m chillin’ - going to play WarCraft! Wooo! Then I’ll get some writing in on Niah’s Pryde (well, that’s what it’s called for now, anyway).
