If you would like more MMM, or just want to find some bloggers with senses of humor go check out ReGi McClain’s blog. She came up with this crazy fun meme. She also hosts the linky that lets us all know who else is playing this game. Check out the crazy little blue thing to the right of her post. After giving it a click it will let you see links to the other bloggers playing along.

Happy Monday!

P.S.  Stay tuned for another post today. I am helping a fellow writer show off the cover for her new book. There’s also a blurb which describes what the story is about.

See you again real soon! 🙂

My Blog Vacation Report And An Announcement

It was a very good vacation from blogging. It was kind of freeing to spend a few nights just picking out cool stuff written by other people and telling you why it intrigues me.

But now, we are back to our regularly scheduled programming.

First, I want to tell you a bit of what I did to refill my mental bucket of inspiration.

I started reading Northanger Abby, by Jane Austin

I got back to reading Regency Buck, by Georgette Heyer

I took some photos of an incoming thunderstorm…in a cemetery

I played round after round (trying for perfect scores) of Grub Guardian

I attended our Encourage Meant meeting and discussed a few possibilities and ideas with my girls

I watched a few episodes of Kekkaishi (an anime my husband and I like)

Lonnie and I went to the Senior Center dance and had a blast

I went shopping with a sister and her two little ones, then we all did lunch

I spent hours talking with my husband about random thoughts and subjects

I went over and spent an hour and a half with my grandma and an aunt (laughing most of the time)

I cheated on my diet and snuck in a few frozen fudge bars

I started working out again

Yeah, it’s been a good week. 😀

Now for the announcement.

Tomorrow I will have two blog posts. The first will be my regular MMM (Mirth and Music Monday). The second will be the cover reveal and a blurb for Laura Oliva‘s new book What The Body Needs. I figure it’s a big enough deal, since she is a very cool friend of mine and I really liked her first book, that it deserves it’s own post. That and the cover isn’t exactly the most…four year old friendly image. But mostly because she has been a good enough friend that I want to help her in any way I can. 😀

On that note: Here’s a link to her first book All That Glitters on Amazon.

Here are some of the better photos I snapped on Thursday.

I just couldn’t resist stopping to take a few photos as the storm started rolling over the landscape.

Here’s that storm from a slightly different angle. It’s a little closer now.

These lovely petunias were growing at the base of the flag pole in the cemetery.

Happy Sunday, y’all!
