Oh, Glorious Monday!
Here’s the final version of the So Not Happening cover! Isn’t it cool? I like how it’s clear that it’s not a “I’m so serious” novel. You can’t have a pig THAT cute on the cover and think there’s heavy material inside, right? I’m not sure what the A&M stands for on the purse logo, but I think maybe you can pick up that bag at a certain Texas university’s book store perhaps? I love the green. Green happens to be my favorite color. I’m pretty sure the pig approves.
This is the best kind of Monday ever. I hate to rub it in, but I have the day off!!! But before you throw something at me, I do not have the day off from writing. What I need though, is a day off from the cookies. Oh, my gosh. Must work off the pudge. Exercise and clean eating are so BORING though. Last night I was praying and talking to God about my declining eating habits, and I was like, “God, make me love broccoli like chocolate. Can you do that?” I’m sad to report to you that I have yet to see any difference in my broccoli feelings. But God’s a pretty busy guy. I can wait.
Did anyone see Dollhouse, the new Joss Whedon show? Maybe it’s because I missed the first minute or so, but I didn’t get it. Why was the main character at this personality-stealing place anyway? And why did all the personality-less people take communal showers without even flinching or having to borrow someone’s soap on a rope? I didn’t get it. It was okay…but it was no Buffy.
Did everyone have a good Valentine’s Day? I did! This weekend I saw Confessions of a Shopaholic. This is based on a series by author Sophie Kinsella. I LOVE Sophie’s books, but I personally never got into Shopaholic, but I’m gonna try again one day. But as for the movie…I didn’t really love it. It was very choppy and odd and silly. And I don’t mean silly in a good way, but as in store window mannequins come to life and speak to the main character, and that just creeped me out. If something doesn’t have a face, you should not talk to it. That’s a rule I really try to live by and so far it’s served me well. The movie did have Hugh Dancy in it though (and someone had to tell me who that was. I’m so out of the Hollywood man-candy loop). He was a nice addition.
My friend Rhonda sent me this funny YouTube.
I emailed her back and told her it was a little disturbing. She thought the one I sent her in return (below) was even more disturbing.
I didn’t find it upsetting though. I found it highly relatable. I mean, that’s me on a typical Monday morning.
Here’s one for the family scrap book. “Things not to do while mom has the video camera out…”
That’s an excellent face plant though. Perfect 10–especially with the vertebrae stress involved. I like it.
Okay, well, hate to be short and sweet, but I must get back to the writing. I have a new fun project that has an insane deadline and will probably kill me. The fun things usually do. In my next life I think I want to be a rock star so I’ll have a little down time. ; )Â And people to do my hair.
Have a great week!!!

Hey =]
I just saw Dollhouse and was kinda confused at the beginning too..they dont tell you why “echo” is there or why she was put there ( i think there building up too it). And i agree it was alittle weird that they were all showering together..
That first baby video made we laugh so hard! Oh my gosh that was soo funny! lol
well i hope you have a wonderful and great day!
PS. I love the book cover =]
Dollhouse. i was expecting more… but i enjoyed it enough to keep watching. though i was very very confused for the first…35 minutes give or take.
congrats on the book!
again!

I LOVE the book cover! The pig is so darn cute. I didn’t watch Dollhouse. It looked like too much Zoolander and too little plot. Shows like Buffy and Alias had pretty people who actually knew how to act and had storylines (no matter how far fetched they may be
. I feel like new shows on the supernatural side are lacking in the plot department. Or the plot just bores me. Or they have too many. Like Lost. Please don’t tell, but I can’t handle lost. There is just too much stuff to remember.
Congrats on finishing the book! ‘Tis totally on my Gotta-Get-It book list. One look at the cute pink pig and I was hooked. And congrats on getting the day off — mine, sadly, was not without schooling, but I did have a great Monday. Maybe President’s Day is also Marvelous Monday?
I’ve prayed for healthier eating habits before too. And then went out and bought a double-shot mocha. Methinks this kind of prayer requires the participation of the prayee.
Love the cover-so cute!:)
I watched Dollhouse too, and was confused, but then it got a little better. I just wish they would tell me things upfront instead of drawing them out-that just makes me mad. Plus, I didn’t get the whole dectective dude/boxing fight scene thing-I guess it was symbolizing his fight to stay on the case? That was just to much thinking for me.
I finally watched the Moster Baby video and it made me laugh so hard I had tears! Plus, I had to laugh quietly because I was watching it in my office! Thanks for the great videos!:)
