Wishing you the happiest holidays from our frog tent to yours! See you in the new year!
Monday Mayhem – First Christmas
I confess, I am writing this post way early. You see, this past weekend was my first Christmas of the season. As I type this, I’m plotting and planning for the 9 hour ride to see my family. Chaos will ensue on Saturday, then we drive back Sunday. I figure I probably won’t have the energy to post when I get home, so here I am, writing like it’s Monday on a Thursday night.
How’s your December going?
Mine has been incredibly busy. Major changes at the day job this month and next month will keep me hopping. I’m also doing the behind the scenes stuff for the Play Dates series starting next fall, and one day hope to actually finish the book I started writing in November.
Oh! And I re-released Long Distance Love! Look at this gorgeous cover. If you haven’t read Jack and Ellie’s story, you need to. Grab your copy today!

Other bright spots this week included some quality time with a dog and her chicken:
And my friend, Kendra, gave me a Tribble!
Okay, it’s just one of those puffy keychains, but I like to think it’s a Tribble. What’s bright and shiny in your world this week?
Monday Mayhem – Eeep! It’s December!
Yeah, so super fast post because it has been a super crazy week and I am super tired. I’ve been keeping up with my #31brightspots, though I admit some days have been a little darker than others. Here are a few highlights:
Long, frustrating day at work, but I came home to this #31brightspots
Tacos make everything a little better. #31brightspots
Truth.
Lolled in my warm bed with a hot book on this cold morning. Now, lunch with my girls. #31brightspots
Best way to spend a Saturday morning, in my opinion.
And the best way to spend a Saturday afternoon is with my Diamond State Romance Author pals. Here’s a picture of me and Brinda Berry. I may or may not have been squeezing her knee under the table. A lady never tells.
And Sunday was spent preparing for Christmas. The house is decorated outside and in. Any my little angel helped his doting granddad put his Great-grandma Willene’s angel atop the tree.
As I type this, we’re just home from attending a living Christmas tree concert and ready to collapse. That was my jam-packed week. What happened in yours?
Monday Mayhem – Hello, December!
Well, here we are! It’s December. NaNoWriMo #8 is in the bag, and the 1st draft of Play Dates #2 is 4/5+ done!
I started tracking my #31brightspots this week. I’ve been sharing them on Twitter and FB, but here are the highlights so far:
12/1/16 Walking in the door and hearing this guy squeal, “Moogie!” Day = made. #31brightspots
12/2/16 – Fodder got me Labrador socks! Now he’s taking me and Sally to Sonic! #31brightspots
12/3/16 – “Writing” at Panera with Kim Ward McPherson, Parker Kincade, Lacey Thacker Meislohn, and Brinda Berry. My bright spots for today! #31Brightspots
It’s not too late to join in. Just pick a bright spot (no picture required) and share it with the world!
Now that we’re into December, I’m in full blown planning mode for 2017. I’ll probably be doing some updating around here, so if there’s something you would like to see from me, please let me know!
Happy Monday, my friends! Hope you have so many bright spots it’s hard to choose!
